Sometimes I think that in this social media, anything for comments era, we forget that we do not have to say everything we think aloud. We’re allowed to keep a rich , inner dialogue with ourselves. I think everyone can use a little bit of that right now. It is okay to keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. The reality is that as soon as we open our mouths or write down our thoughts, we expose ourselves. We reveal, we shed, we lay bare. And as we are all individuals, we will all perceive things differently. And you said one thing. And you meant it how you meant it. But that doesn’t mean it comes across that way.

Enter in the case, of comedian DC Young Fly, known primarily from his work on Wild N Out revealing in a podcast that when he sees women who have BBL’s , he thinks of his deceased partner Jackie Oh. The two share children together. Jackie Oh passed away in September 2023 after complications she experienced from plastic surgery.

To be fair, I actually understand him. I think that if any of us lost someone to complications related to a surgery, we might be jolted into remembrance if we encounter that surgery on someone else. To be fair anything about anybody could potentially jog us down memory lane. Special, strange instruments that our brains are.
