Anyone else has big features? I always feel that my eyes, lips and nose are too tall and large for my face! 😭🧍♀️
For some people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

when hayao miyazaki said that true love was two people inspiring each other to live…recognizing just how hard living is, putting one foot in front of the other every day, how easy it is to lose our passion for it…… that’s the real shit
sometimes I see pictures from when I was younger and it makes me wonder why I spent so much time hating myself. sweet little baby me. I was still growing. I was still learning. I was still getting used to my own skin. I didn’t deserve that
Consistency is the name of the game. The more frequently you show up for yourself and the things that you want, the quicker they flow into your life.

If you're a young girl, don't let level-up content convince you that you should stay away from so-called 'dusty' or 'low-vibrational' activities like partying, talking to boys your own age and heck, even downloading Tiktok. You're allowed to be young and you’re allowed to have fun, and trying things that other people your age are doing is part of figuring out who you are and what you like. Don't let level up blogs convince you that you should just study, read, self-isolate, repeat because you will probably look back later in life and wish that you had allowed yourself to be young.

I remember one of the most hurtful things someone said to me was "you have too big of a personality for me." It broke my heart. Fast forward to a few years later, I got offered an amazing opportunity because of my "vibrant" personality. Don't change for anyone. The right people will eventually come into your life with love for every part of you.
I love my energy. I love being sweet, kind, light, gleamy, hair tucked behind my ear, pure, blushy, and soft spoken. But on the flip side I love being sexy, flirty, charismatic, magnetic, wild natural curls going every which way, outspoken, deep eye contact, and alluring
“My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.”
— Laurell K. Hamilton
“Once you realize there is life after mistakes, you gain a self-confidence that never goes away.”

quotes that help me survive:
“You are not lost. You are here. Stop abandoning yourself. Stop repeating this myth about love and success that will land in your lap or evade you forever. Build a humble, flawed life from the rubble, and cherish that. There is nothing more glorious on the face of the earth than someone who refuses to give up, who refuses to give in to their most self-hating, discouraged, disillusioned self, and instead learns, slowly and painfully, how to relish the feeling of building a hut in middle of the suffocating dust.” — Heather Havrilesky, Ask Polly

“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.” — Mary Oliver

Instructions On Not Giving Up, Ada Limon:

“You have to believe, in your heart, that even if you don’t work hard and exercise and think positive thoughts and make new friends and march triumphantly into the future, you are still enough. You will always have bad days. Being broken doesn’t make you a loser. You can crumble, and you will still be enough. Make that your religion moving forward. You are here to feel this moment. You are not here to become someone better. You are not here to impress or compete. You are not here to prove yourself. You are here to savor this life. Let down your guard. You are already enough. Believe it.” — Heather Havrilesky
“The first feminist gesture is to say: “Ok. They’re looking at me. But I’m looking at them.” The act of deciding to look, of deciding that the world is not defined by how people see me, but by how I see them.” -Agnès Varda
lyrics from the song Grow by The Oh Hellos:
“The world’s otherness is antidote to confusion, that standing within this otherness—the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books—can re-dignify the worst-stung heart.” — Mary Oliver
“I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you,and that you will work with these stories from your life--not someone else's life--water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. That is the work. The only work.” — Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Maintain your Mindset
Do not stop saying your affirmations. Don’t stop praying. Don’t stop praising. Don’t stop being hype and happy. Don’t stop saying I am grateful and happy for my life. Don’t stop baby. You got it now but babe maintain it. I notice that people get cut out your life because your mindset is fragile. It is not fortified and you may slip into the bad habits once again after you think everything is all good. Keep smiling. Keep taking care of yourself. Don’t stop going to therapy. Don’t stop doing your healthy coping mechanisms (painting, meditating, doing your makeup). Maintain your mindset baby.
