does anyone else genuinely tear up whenever they get rep or are even acknowledged. like. you recognize that i exist?? and you dont think somethings wrong with me?? you dont wanna fix me?? you acknowledge me as a person??

If you cave after committing to a boycott, you really don't have to announce it to social media. It's not going to absolve you of guilt, and only serves to shift the narrative towards YOUR guilt and how bad YOU feel for buying Starbucks for whatever reason. And it really isn't about YOU at all. It's about why you're boycotting in the first place. Just suck it up, admit to yourself you messed up, and try and do better next time. You can take responsibility for your actions privately, you know.
