The best gift!

“You’ll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things.”

— Jamie Tworkowski

girl are you okay? you’ve been consuming so much media lately that you haven’t allowed yourself to feel one single human emotion for months

[daily-reminders-that-ur-enough]

Take time for yourself. It is not selfish to set boundaries. You deserve boundaries. You are worthy of so many things in this world, and one of them is being treated with respect and having people listen to your needs.

You will experience different types of love but the healthiest love will come when you have a healthy relationship with yourself.

In 2019 I did 1 year of no makeup or heat styling my hair. Just skincare and deep conditioning, that was so valuable and fun. It was me, the ordinary, and glossier against the world
