2019 mood. ✨ Peep the carefully placed handkerchief.
I wish people could just say how they feel like ‘hey, I really don’t like when you do that to me’ or ‘hey, I’m in love with you’ or ‘hi, I really miss you and I think about you all the time’ without sounding desperate. Why can’t everyone be 100% honest and just save people the trouble? photo: @carlota_guerrero x Nike muses: @narstarr @annahstasia
So you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. You chose the wrong major and had to start over again. You cherished a friend who backstabbed you. It sucks, but it’s also going to work out. That’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. You experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay. words: @sunflorally photo/muse: @terra.xoxo
A kind reminder for those of us who struggle with negative thoughts and self-doubt. 🧡 quote: @__bhb__
In 2019 we're REFUSING to shrink ourselves! Ok?! It's YOU who suffers the consequences of the choices you make, it's YOU who's left feeling uncomfortable by shrinking to fit into places and people that you have outgrown. So make choices based on what fulfills YOU. You do not owe anyone anything. Stop wasting time on people who don't realize what a privilege it is to even know you. If I have learned one thing from the incredible women that I've met this year, it's that ALL of them have firm boundaries and that anyone who tries to test those boundaries, has got to go. Immediately. Someone who tries to test your boundaries shouldn't even have the privilege to breathe the same air as you. I wish I applied this earlier on in life, there are people I kept around for way too long who didn't deserve to know me...but we learn from our mistakes. words/art: @florencegiven

It's #GoldenGlobes day and as Issa once said, we're rooting for the everybody black! The women in #BlackPanther are particularly strong and resilient, and their strength is revered (not feared) by the men in their lives. All these female characters are multidimensional. Black Panther put female empowerment on full display on the big screen and reminded us all that the future is very female; the future is black. 🙏🏾🧡
Pro tip: be picky about vibes. Be picky about the energy you surround yourself with. You owe yourself that much. 🧡
