The Tom & Jerry video that I made back in March
of this year has touched a lot more hearts than I was expecting it would. With one half of
the video discussing the topic of suicide, while the other half mentioning that true
love and validation is found from within and not from the approval of other people. I
think that’s a very profound way of putting it, but over 2,000 comments calling Tom the
Cat a simp sums up the message too I guess. Simping is a topic that I’ve always wanted to
drive a little more into, because I have a pretty interesting opinion on it, that I don’t think many
people realize yet. For those of you who have no idea what simping means, it’s basically another
word for “beta”. The best way I can describe it is someone who is overly desperate for a relationship
with a particular person and will do everything in their power to please that person, but forgetting
the importance of respecting themselves first. One of the greatest examples of this is by watching
the actions of Mordecai from Regular show. You know the Mordecai who everyone seems to remember
as a simp now, which is pretty sad considering I can remember a couple of savage moments
from this character off the top of my head. So in this episode in particular, Mordecai
has a crush on this girl named Margaret, but he doesn’t know how to espresso himself and
ask her out on a date. He’s extremely nervous, extremely shy, and has no confidence in himself, and
his friend Rigby takes full advantage of this by cracking jokes at the situation, winning
over the heart of Margaret in the process. Obviously is causes Mordecai to go into full out
jealous mode, and with every scene that goes by with him not having the guts to blurt out the
words he wants to, and Rigby just being himself, but clearly not taking the situation seriously, this
frustrates Mordecai to insane levels. To prove his point, Rigby shows Mordecai just how easy it
is to ask someone out on a date, and Margaret accepts Rigby’s offer, shattering Mordecai’s
heart out in the process. His jealousy meter goes off the chart, and later on in the episode
he does everything possible to sabotage Rigby’s date with Margaret. He also kills Rigby and, no
really, Rigby literally DIES in this episode. Rip. Soon after, Mordecai meets GOD face to face, and
as punishment for his SINS, he is forced to spend eternity in nowhere land. Even though he has
nothing to lose at this point, Mordecai still refuses to admit his jealousy for Rigby’s alpha
game, so God shows him the truth, and informs him that it’s not healthy to bottle up your emotions,
or in other words, honestly is the best policy. GOD gives Mordecai one more
chance to repent for his SINS, so he finally admits his jealousy, and is rewarded
with a trip back in time to be better. By the end of this episode he fails to ask Margret out, yes,
but he learns that it’s really not that serious. So here’s my take on this whole alpha vs simp,
blue pill vs red pill thing alright. There are a lot of relationship advice on this website.
To their credit, it’s probably all good advice at the end of the day, but I just want you to
realize this point, if you haven’t already. If you are a guy chances are you’ve watched videos about
how to treat a woman, what to say on a date, what women like, what to say to get a girl’s number,
etc. and if you are a girl watching this video, the same principle applies. That’s cool,
you know? My question is, who the hell cares? Honestly? I don’t believe in alphas.
I don't believe in simps. I just believe in true self love and self respect. By worrying too much about NOT being a simp, you try too hard
to be alpha, and by trying to be quote-unquote “red pill” you limit your options with
the relationship that is right for you, because not every woman is the same. Not every
guy is the same. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to fake your personality to
achieve a genuine connection with someone, there are over 7 billion people on the planet, so
why are some of us so worried about whether or not one of those 7 billion gives us the sense
validation that we can give ourselves anyway? If you do not love yourself 100%,
and I mean ALL aspects of yourself, both physically, and emotionally, then I would
not recommend worrying about relationships with other people at all, because chances
are it’s just not going to work out. I want to say this too. Listen, if you are in
your teens, or maybe in your twenties or so, and you desperately want a true authentic relationship
with someone, I get it. We all get lonely at one point or another, but really understand me when
I say, it’s not the end of the world if you don’t yet have your dream boyfriend or girlfriend.
Man, if I could go back 4 years in time, when 17 year old me was worrying about when Imma
meet my first girlfriend, I would tell him, dude, don’t worry about it. Just focus on yourself
right now. I know with how Instagram couples, and how all these couple channels are shoved
in your face it can be kinda hard to not worry about your future love life, but there are
plenty of fish in the sea and you’re going to run into somebody special someday, but until
then, now is the perfect time to build yourself, and to grow for yourself. Think about it, you have
nothing to do, nothing to lose. Focus more on your purpose in life, than on relationships with people
who you know deep down aren’t even your type. To put it simply: Stop trying so hard to be alpha, and
start expressing yourself. Thanks for watching.
