ARIA’S POVAs I scroll through the TikTok feed and come across a video of the incident. In this video, the narrator is describing what has been captured while he was at the restaurant that day; Tania’s wild-eyed fury as she charges at me with a knife, screaming incoherent accusations. Tony steps in front of me, shielding me from the attack, and the security quickly subdues Tania.The video is shaky, clearly filmed by the TikToker, but the chaos is evident.

It’s as if nothing has changed, as if I’m forever trapped in a cycle of not being enough.I sit on the edge of my bed, scrolling through the comments, feeling the weight of their judgement bearing down on me. The problem with social media is that once someone lights the fire, it spreads like a wildfire, and it's nearly impossible to put out the flames or may take some time.In my case, it may take longer.“Tony deserves someone better.”“She’s just using him for his fame.”One comment reads, while another claims. The words bl
