💍 “What a Faithful Man Looks Like”

(Because good men DO exist — they’re just rare and consistent.)

Let’s shift the energy.

Not every man is a liar, a cheater, or a walking bare minimum.

Faithful men still exist — but they don’t look like what society glamorizes.

A faithful man isn’t perfect.

He’s intentional.

Here’s how to spot one:

1. His consistency doesn’t fade after the first month.

Faithful men don’t “switch up.”

Their attention stays steady because their intentions are steady.

If he wanted you, he still wants you.

Period.

⸻

2. He makes his relationship clear, not confusing.

A faithful man doesn’t give:

• mixed signals

• half-answers

• vague stories

• emotional distance

He gives clarity because loyalty thrives where confusion ends.

⸻

3. He respects you behind your back.

A loyal man protects:

• your image

• your reputation

• your dignity

• your name

Even when you’re not in the room.

Especially then.

⸻

4. He has boundaries with other women.

Not because you asked —

because he chose to.

No flirting.

No emotional cheating.

No secret messages.

No “work wife.”

No “she’s just a friend” but he hides the texts.

Faithful men don’t play in gray areas.

⸻

5. He communicates instead of disappearing.

If something’s wrong, he talks.

If he’s stressed, he tells you.

If he needs space, he says it with respect.

Men who cheat avoid communication.

Men who are faithful prioritize it.

⸻

6. He’s predictable in the best way.

Not boring — dependable.

You know his habits.

You know his routine.

You don’t have to play detective.

You don’t have to compete with random women online.

Loyalty feels calm, not chaotic.

⸻

7. He doesn’t make you question your worth.

A faithful man values you, encourages you, reassures you.

He doesn’t:

• make you insecure

• ignore your needs

• dismiss your feelings

• make you feel replaceable

He CHOOSES you — every day.

⸻

8. His actions mirror his words.

Promises mean nothing without proof.

A loyal man follows through because integrity is his personality, not a performance.

⸻

9. He takes accountability.

When he messes up, he says it.

He corrects it.

He grows from it.

Cheaters lie, deflect, blame.

Faithful men own up and improve.

⸻

10. He makes you feel safe — emotionally, mentally, and romantically.

Not anxious.

Not unsure.

Not confused.

Safe.

The right man won’t make you wonder if he’s faithful —

you’ll feel it.

Because loyalty isn’t loud.

It’s consistent.

It’s quiet.

It’s steady.

It’s intentional.

Bagi saya, hal paling menyiksa dari jatuh hati adalah mengagumi tanpa bisa memiliki. Berharap diam-diam orang tersebut memiliki perasaan yang sama. Melihatnya tersenyum lalu ikut tersenyum, padahal senyumnya saja bukan untuk saya. Mendoakannya lebih sering dari mendoakan diri sendiri.

Situasi yang menyebalkan ! Tapi hati memang keras kepala. Hati memilih jalannya sendiri. Mengabaikan semua kemungkinan terburuk, mengabaikan realita ketidakmungkinan untuk bersama. Mempercantik perasaannya sendiri, membuat diri ini bahagia meski tau pada akhirnya akan jatuh hati lalu kembali belajar mengikhlaskan.

Entah kenapa hati bisa begitu tega ? Mengulang-ulang cerita yang sama. Kagum->Senang->Jatuh Hati->Mengikhlaskan. Tidak bosan, tidak belajar. Seperti candu-kagum dengan orang yang hanya bisa dilihat dari jauh.

Tapi tau tidak? Ternyata hati melakukannya bukan karena tidak belajar dari pengalaman, melainkan ia menjaga jarak aman. Mengagumi dari jauh adalah jarak aman untuk menjaga kita dari patah hati paling besar yang mungkin terjadi. Ia menjaga dengan kerasnya, membiarkan kita hanya menyukain kebaikan yang terlihat saja. Hati jauh lebih tahu, bahwa jika semakin dekat kita akan mengetahui hal-hal baru yang mungkin akan mengecewakan.

Lihat betapa hebatnya tubuh dan jiwa ini-menjaga tanpa syarat. Ia sudah tau apa yang harus dilakukan untuk menghindaran kita dari rasa sakit yang lebih besar. Jadi, jangan lupa berterima kasih. Kita sudah hebat sampai di sini, meski cerita kita masih sebatas mengangumi dari jauh.

Hey Tumblr friends! 👋 I’m super excited to say this is my very first post! After finally creating my Tumblr, I’m still figuring out what kind of content I want to share. There are so many cool options, and honestly, I’m a bit torn. Should this space be for personal thoughts, creative work, or just a mix of everything I love? 🤔

What Should I Post? Exploring Ideas

There’s a ton of inspiration around Tumblr, which makes it exciting but also tricky to decide on a direction. Here are some of the options I’m considering:

1. Personal Blog

I could use this space like a journal, sharing daily life experiences, thoughts, or even mini life updates. It would be a more casual, authentic vibe, letting me connect with others who might relate to what I’m going through. Plus, it could be a great way to document life and look back on my personal growth.

2. Creative Writing and Poetry

I’ve always had a passion for words. Whether it’s short stories or poetry, Tumblr seems like the perfect space to share that creative side. I could post snippets of my writing or even work on a longer project in chapters. There are so many amazing writers on Tumblr that I’ve come across, and it would be fun to join in on that creative community.

3. Book Reviews and Recommendations

As an avid reader, I’m always discovering new books and authors, so why not use Tumblr to share my thoughts on what I’m reading? Whether it’s detailed reviews, quick recommendations, or even bookish discussions, it could be a great way to connect with fellow readers. Plus, I could keep track of my reading journey and maybe even inspire others to pick up a new book.

4. Reblogging and Curation

Let’s be real: Tumblr is a goldmine for cool content. I could simply focus on reblogging things I love, like funny memes, aesthetic photos, inspiring quotes, or interesting posts from others. Curation is its own form of expression, and it might be a fun way to explore and share my favourite rite things without overthinking it.

Finding My Style

One thing I’m quickly learning about Tumblr is that it doesn’t have to be just one thing. I can combine different types of content — writing, reblogging, books, and more. My Tumblr can be a mix of everything I enjoy, which feels true to who I am. Right now, I’m open to experimenting and seeing what resonates with me (and with all of you!).

"Where is the line between art and not art"

I've seen a trend of AI taking over everything. It takes over jobs, machines, and thinking. But recently, (but also for a little while), AI has been taking over art. People hate that AI is taking over art and that's very understandable. People also seem to argue about what is art and what isn't. That's not including AI.

The line between art and not art is simply passion. It's the human heart. Anything can be art, so long as it's made by a human. The Oxford Dictionary defines art as being "The expression or application of creative skill and imagination..." Then goes on to list types of art. What makes AI not art, is the fact that AI cannot have an imagination. It cannot express itself. That's what's so beautiful and artistic about the human mind. It has a passion and a need for expression. To be oneself.

Another topic of this question is, is modern art, art? I've seen many instances where people were angry that art was simply a blue square on a painting. But I think otherwise. Sometimes art is not what's immediately seen. Sometimes art is only for the one who made it. But it's still art. You see a blue square? The artist saw something greater. If you asked that artist why they painted what they did, they'd probably tell you something amazing. At least I'd think so.

Is bad art not art? No. Bad art is absolutely art. The artists expressed themselves in a way no one else had. Because that's their expression. That's their mind and that's what makes it unique. Art is art, whether people like it or not. Whether it is perceived as good. (What is good art anyway? Is it what you like? What about what the artist likes?) It is one's imagination. It is one's expression.

Today truly marks a remarkable day for me as it is my first day back at work after a significant break. Additionally, I am overjoyed to share the incredible news that my father will be discharged from the hospital today.

Reflecting on this moment, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and admiration for all the prayers and support we received during this challenging time. We are truly fortunate and blessed that God has answered our prayers by guiding my father towards a swift recovery.

As I step into this new chapter at work, I carry a renewed energy and a profound appreciation for life's blessings. The significance of this day reminds me that with faith and determination, we can conquer any obstacles that come our way.
