You Don’t Hate Meg, You Hate What You Couldn’t Have

Once again, another celebrity relationship ends in infidelity, and once again the conversation shifts to respectability politics.

Yes, her music is provocative.Yes, her dance moves are bold.She’s also an entertainer.

And that’s all most of us really know.

Yet somehow, in the middle of her heartbreak, the response becomes name-calling and the idea that because of the image she presents, she deserves mistreatment.

But this time feels different, because the truth is, this isn’t about respectability. It never was.

The same people calling her out of her name are often the first to like, the first to comment, and the same ones who privately admire what they publicly condemn. Projection.

You don’t hate her.You hate that you could never have someone like her.

You've tried, and fell short.

And instead of dealing with that rejection, you find comfort in seeing someone else hurt. But here’s the truth: pain doesn’t last forever..

She’s not the source of your pain.You are. NO WOMAN IS.

From what we can see, she wanted something simple—a family. With no parents, siblings, or grandparents, she’s navigating womanhood and success largely on her own. For a moment, it seemed like she had the chance to belong;to be someone’s daughter again.

We can’t control people. He made his choice.

But the conversation should never center on her worth. Because worth isn’t determined by public opinion or a man’s decision.

Worth is given by God; not by the ever-changing standards of people.
