In my opinion, Toyo baby is a 'good girl'. I highlight the good girl tag because it takes a morally upright lady to uncomfortable and audacious in speaking up about a misstated fact. I know how you can be stoned to death with cusses if you voice the truth, and be troubled by your conscience when you lie. Mind you, this is not a generation that ultimately promotes virginity or purity, yet Toyo will be maligned because she dared to speak up the truth.
I support her, not because she once misstated the fact, but because she is still one of the very few who is affected by lies (white or outright), knows the meaning of shame and honor (very scarce) and is audacious enough to speak up to clear her conscience.
Toyo, if you are reading this, I will say, "Well done. While at this purging season, hold your head up high, remember you are accountable to yourself and I am proud of your audacity. One more thing, if laid on your heart, you can start up a foundation, speak about this, let this scar be a badge of experience to propel you to greater heights."
For anyone who is bitter and using Panadol for Toyo's headache, remember the culture of silence and skeletons, that very one that makes us pile carcasses of abuses, lies and a host of psychological imbalances, let that not always be the order of the day, right? Be transparent, remove the log in your eyes first, and let (s)he who is without sin cast the first stone. Peace.
