I Am Bragging 🫡
I am bragging:
I have had financial power (and responsibility) over four people for years. I have never demanded time, affection or intimacy from any of them. It was my choice to financially provide. That did not, nor will it ever entitle me to them or their affection.
That is providing. It’s what my mother did for me, and it’s what I will continue to do for the people in my life.
Paying for things does not make you the most important person in your home or your relationship. It just means you pay for shit. If you pay, you do so willingly or not at all.
You’re not a provider if you’re using your money to control or belittle the people you claim to love.
I will continue to provide and love my family. It is a choice I make. I am happy with my choice.

This kind of bragging i do respect, even though personally i prefer to stick to the shadows.
Amen to that, love
I think people deserve to brag a little bit when they achieve something important to them.
I aspire to be able to provide for my loved ones someday, with that same mindset of expecting nothing in return. Glad you’re doing well for yourself 👌🏼
Ok....so you are not sharing where this is coming from. I agree with your point. Just hopefully the context isn't something bad or horrible because it seems like it might be.
I suppose I just see a lot of entitled people, particularly men, who believe that because they pay for things that entitles them to people, bodies or affection. And then they have the audacity to claim they’re providers. It’a repulsive and in total opposition to what actually providing means.
Not sure what sparked this, but hear hear! As a fellow provider, I can relate to this post. I don't have a family per se, but I do have a mom with debilitating health, a younger sister on the spectrum, and a younger brother. We've been through thick and thin, and despite our differences, have had each other's backs.
Family... Friends.... ❤️🙂‍↕️
As a fellow provider to a sick individual , trust me when i say you aren’t bragging…you are speaking your truth and for that i salute you. it’s amazing to have the best job in the world to take care of those we love 💕. Cheers to you Queen 🫅
Shout out to Tea and all the multi-people providers of the world. 🫡
Hell yeah brother, get that bag
Just because someone does X doesn’t mean they get to do Y. I’m glad there are people who are like this, in a position to do good and do it, not because they will get something out of it, but cause it’s the right thing to do.
The truth is that it also feels wonderful to help the people you love. How lucky I am to be able to do that.
That's worth bragging about. We're all proud of you.
I’m happy that you can provide, it feels good. And I’m happy to be here and support you for your craft, the amount of work that goes into your audios and the rate you spoil us with is always greatly appreciated. Please stay awesome Tea and here’s to the future 💪🔥
Thank you, kindly. I appreciate it immensely. I hope I keep making the content you enjoy.
Well said Tea and glad that you have financial stability for you and others.
