ADZU Freedom Wall 2.0

#adzufreewall4049 WE HAVE NORMALIZED CHEATING WITHOUT US REALIZING IT Social media has been flooded with posts exposing cheating partners. Numerous screenshots of private conversations are shared publicly as proof, triggering both waves of support and backlash. Those who support often respond from a place of empathy, arguing that exposure validates the victim’s pain and serves as a warning to others. Critics, however, contend that public shaming is not the appropriate response, citing violations of privacy and the risk of libel. In many jurisdictions, publicly shaming cheaters is prohibited, prioritizing the protection of their welfare. This raises a deeper and more uncomfortable question: what are the real consequences of cheating? Cheating is widely regarded as immoral. Society largely agrees that infidelity inflicts significant emotional and psychological harm on the betrayed partner. Yet, despite this collective moral judgment, there are few tangible consequences for the offender. When victims choose to expose their cheaters, they risk legal repercussions. When they remain silent, their restraint is often interpreted as tolerance. Either way, accountability seems elusive. This imbalance is deeply unfair to the victims. They watch as offenders are quietly forgiven, their actions minimized in the name of moving forward. Society urges healing and growth while often neglecting the trauma left behind. Cheaters are afforded redemption, the belief that they may someday become better people, while victims are left carrying wounds that may never fully heal. As a society, we appear to tolerate cheating more than we genuinely condemn it. Public outrage is loud, but selective. Condemnation often disappears when the cheater is a friend, a family member, or someone familiar. They see how easily accountability can be avoided, how apologies and time can eradicate scrutiny. Meanwhile, victims are expected to endure, recover, and remain silent. The current trend of exposing cheaters online has undeniably sparked important conversations about loyalty, consent, and emotional harm. But beyond the spectacle, a more pressing issue remains unresolved: how do we meaningfully hold cheaters accountable without further victimizing those they hurt? Until society confronts this question, cheating will continue to be condemned in words but excused in practice.

#adzufreewall4048 I don’t get the hype of higher levels sa college (sophies, juniors, & seniors) that gives off vibes sa mga freshies. We are just doing our thing and then when they pass by like why are you giving us death stares?? We just want to feel welcome but you’re making us feel “less” welcome… New Year na oh, can you also change ur personality as well?😅 -freshie na tinatarayan lagi ni ms sophie

#adzufreewall4047 To my frisbee player 01/1 from MAO I've had a crush on you since last year, but back then, you had a girlfriend and I always saw how sweet you two were. Laging andun siya sa mga games mo, at panay ang punas ng pawis mo, kaya’t hindi ko maiwasang mainggit. I remember seeing you around campus with flowers every month, and I’d always think, “Ang swerte ng girlfriend mo.” But then I heard that you guys broke up because she cheated on you. What’s worse is she turned it around and made it seem like you were the one who cheated. Crazy, right? Haha. But anyway, I hope you're doing okay and celebrating the new year well. Wishing you all the best, and Happy New Year! 😊 -Secret, but green

#adzufreewall4046 kasalanan ba mainlove ulit sa ex?

#adzufreewall4045 Will ADZU really not change their exam schedule? I thought they were all about mental health and student well-being, but after the break we only get one day to study before exams. I’m really hoping for a New Year miracle 😭 — a stressed SHS student

#adzufreewall4044 replying to the entry of #adzufreewall4032 this is so true. in addition, peoples true colors will pop out once magkaroon ng misunderstanding. i known someone— that person’s attitude wasn’t good back then, aminado siya, but that person faced karma, paid her debt of karma, took accountability, and changed. while some (lets say, friends before) still dig into that persons past mistakes. like, cmon.. it’s 2026. in general, why do people keep digging on someones past mistakes? kse it just shows on how you can’t move on. let’s say you’ve been hurt by someone, and the only way to cope is to hate on that person your entire life. how will you heal, how will you move on? think of it. yes the scar is still there, but staying in the same darkness won’t show any light to freedom—reflect on it. hurt people, hurt people. heal people, heal people.

#adzufreewall4043 Hindi ko alam kung mali ba ako for getting mad, but this really hurt. Oo, it’s been a year since we broke up. Pero tama ba na secretly kang nakikipag-flirt sa friend ko and iniisip mong okay lang dahil matagal na tayong hiwalay? At ikaw naman—ang kapal naman para tawagin mo akong "best friend" mo, pero patago kang nakikipag-date sa ex ko? Friend ba talaga yon? Grabe ang tiwala ko sayo. Sayo ko pa shinare dati yung mga hinanakit ko at alam mo kahit tapos na kami nun, may part pa rin sakin na gustong ayusin yung nangyari—kahit alam kong ako na lang yung nagta-try. Masaya pa ko sa part na habang nag h-heal ako eh may kaibigan akong palaging nasa tabi ko, willing makinig at proud pa ako nun na may masandalan ako habang pilit kong kalimutan yung taong minsan kong minahal. Tapos malalaman ko na three months pa lang pala kaming break naguusap na kayo. Lumalabas na kayo ng madalas. Tinatago niyo lahat, parang wala lang yung pinagsamahan natin. Mas pinili mong i-date yung ex ko kaysa isipin na may masasaktan.

#adzufreewall4042 #adzufreewall4037 Hi po First time ko mag freedom wall medyo ksp haha Wla lng Medyo emo so nagawa ako poem haha “Dear, Ghost” Dear, Ghost Won’t you go away? Will you haunt me everyday? My heart feels heavy, With you beside me. Your presence, Lingers throughout my entire body, Bothering and bothering. You’re dead. We’re over. So may I ask, Why me, That you choose to linger by? What does it take, To finally let you rest? Will it take, The end of my life? When my body decays, My soul somewhere else. Seems like that is what I must do. To get rid of you. I open the door, A tremor went through me. My ghost, Standing there in flesh, Alive and breathing. Its eyes are the same as mine Dead and haunted. I look past you, I saw me. Right behind you, Haunting your very being too. Our eyes met briefly, A quick exchange. In that short moment, Our ghosts disappeared. My heartbeat quickened. Life came back to me. Seemed the same for you. A yearning tugs my heart, But I pulled myself away, Walking past you. And now, my ghost returns I faced my ghost, Not in fury, but in plea. Dear, Ghost Make a promise with me. Haunt me till I die. Be my companion, Throughout my entire life. Keep taking me back, To when I most felt alive. And when the day comes, That I die, And your soul is put to rest, I’ll join you too, Wherever we may be. So together, We’re finally at peace. Dead, but alive. For all of eternity.

#adzufreewall4041 Hello, I'd like to ask fellow Ateneans, especially women, kung saang gym meron understanding na female trainers? Where they do their job and don't make mean comments. Yes sensitive siguro talaga ako, but I'm paying to be trained and not to be stepped on.
