respect yourself. and i don’t mean any of that “don’t have sex, don’t do anything that isn’t 100% conducive to your goals, hang yourself with the needles of your own moral compass” bullshit, respect yourself by knowing your needs and wants to the best of your ability and acknowledging that you are…

Random thought, there are most likely people out there in the world experiencing your favorite movie or tv show or book for the first time and loving it and that makes me very happy to think about
tell yourself you’re hot. tell yourself you’re amazing. tell yourself you’re untouchably, radiantly attractive. do it every day, even if it feels like you’re lying to yourself. insist to the mirror that you’re the cutest thing its ever reflected. if you do it enough eventually it wont feel like lying anymore, it’ll be automatic, and you’ll recognize yourself as the incredible babe you really are.
"I will wade out till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers. I will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air, alive, with closed eyes."
it really bothers me when someone tags their personal posts as ‘shut up [insert name here]’
like no friend
don’t shut up
you are loved and i enjoy hearing about you friend
don’t feel like you have to shut up
