ARSENAL HATE
The Arsenal hate online is wild. I didn't know it was this bad. The thing is imo, in every group of people in this world, whether it's religion, ethnicities, nationalities, or etc, there's always a bad bunch within the group. That can be said to any other fanbases as well. To me, alot of ppl just join the bandwagon even though they don't know anything about Arsenal. Mostly, all of this hate is online. It is somewhat a form of cyber bullying (i know it's not that deep but some ppl are terrible) because they just hide behind their keyboard and just ragebaiting people. That is also the online society now where most people are just saying nonsense to ragebait people and that is so annoying. It shows what type of person they are tbh. Like there is something that these people need to work in inwardly as a human being to be acting that way. Because as an Arsenal fan, I'm just watching my team play every game and have no interest at all in hatewatching other teams even if they are a rival team. Why would I waste my precious time on a team that I do not support. Hating another team more than loving your own team shows what values you follow in life. The generalisation of a whole fanbase and putting everyone in a box is incorrect and people should grow up.
ARSENAL PL CHAMPIONS 25/26
Arsenal had went over the line finally after 22 years and especially after getting the second position for the previous 3 years in a row. They won it after Man City dropped points on their Bournemouth away game. The joyscrolling that I had after they won it on my twitter timeline was amazing that I didn't even sleep until 8/9am. It was emotional. My gallery is full of their pictures all week.
On to the Champions League final, it was disappointing because we were so close to winning it as it went on to the penalties. But I'm still proud of the boys because I've never expected them to win the champions league this season at all. They did a good job in neutralising the PSG attacks. The defense line was putting their lives on the line for the game. What a masterclass. I was hoping they get the job done before it gets to the penalties because I got a feeling someone gonna fucked it up because this was literally the champions league finals. Add the fact that our usual good penalty takers were already subbed out; Odegaard, Saka, Trossard and Havertz. So it was already worrying. When Eze stepped up, I had a feeling he gonna miss it and he proved me right. Raya saving his ass by blocking the next penalty was unexpected to me. He is basically the player of the season for me. Then, Gabriel stepped up and I knew he gonna miss it too. We've never seen him take a penalty before btw. I was confused why they let him take the 5th taker. I'm more confident of Saliba than him tbh. So we lost on penalties 4-3. It was hurtful to lose out on it in this way. But at the end of the day, I know they are a team that can come back from it because every year they are a step higher than before so I'm looking forward to upgrades of our attackers in the summer and go for it next season.
INFLUENCER
I came across a video of an influencer giving advice on how to be yourself on the internet without being judged or cancel. She started of by saying that since she was young, there were people that dislike her. She continued by saying being different from the norm is why people dislike it. People are jealous and dislike it when it is something out of the norm. Although there is truth to that, here's my two cents, I think there is a line between being yourself and being insensitive person online. I don't think people will dislike an influencer that has a good influence to people. You can still be yourself; funny/annoying/cringey or anything else but the problem is whether if you're a shitty human being who is rude, arrogant, stuck up and insensitive. Also, I think everyone is performative in one way or another which is another topic in itself.
FAITH
I've been feeling so low in faith for a while. For the past few days, I finally got up to make the effort to pray.
