Glow up : harsh truth edition ❤️‍🔥

You’re not stuck. You’re just not doing what you said you would.Here’s the thing nobody wants to hear:

It’s not that you’re unlucky.

It’s not that life is unfair.

It’s not that people don’t support you.

It’s just that… you’re not doing the work.

You say you want clear skin, but you sleep in your makeup.You say you want to be fit, but you scroll instead of working out.You say you want to glow up, but you keep choosing comfort over effort.You say you want to change, but your habits stay the same.

So let me ask you this : How bad do you really want it?

Because the truth is motivation isn’t magic.It’s discipline. It’s showing up when it’s boring. It’s choosing long-term confidence over short-term pleasure. It’s holding yourself accountable even when no one’s watching.

If you want the dream life, the dream version of you… You have to become the kind of person who gets it.

Wake up early.

Make your to-do list.

Drink your water.

Fix your posture.

Say no to distractions.

Work in silence.

Take care of your mind and your body.

The girl you admire doesn’t just have a good life. She built it.

So what are you waiting for?

Your life will not change until you do.

So get up. Do one thing today that your higher self would thank you for. And then do it again tomorrow.

You owe it to yourself. ✨

Ah, those kids are a dime a dozen, right? Anything to harvest your non renewable energy supplies that scar families and leave holes in the earth.

If you want an EV that sucks more energy from the grid and causes more environmental harm than oil and combustion engines, fine. Just don’t force the rest of us to get one or keep lying that your way is better or “greener”.

Short n' Simple Collective Reading - Pick a Picture

Pile 1 -

The Chariot

Now is the time to really take action. Focus your efforts on accomplishing the things you've been brushing off doing or procrastinating (whether it's tidying up, working on a goal, exercising, etc). Doing so will lift your spirits and release any stagnant energy that has built up. With the stagnant energy flowing again, you will find that life will move much easier and there will be less obstacles to overcome.

Pile 2 -

9 of Pentacles

When the card came out, I heard "soft girl era". It's time for you to relax and make sure you are avoiding stressing yourself out. This pile seems to be overworking themselves and taking on too much responsibility at the moment. You need to detach from the world and slow down, so that you can pour love and care into yourself. Treat yourself, rather than putting energy into others right now. I'm also hearing "spa day", so you're definitely due for a self-care day.

Pile 3 -

8 of Wands

I'm hearing "falling behind" over and over again. However, this doesn't feel like an objective truth. It seems like you are being too harsh on yourself and are pushing yourself too much because you feel like you're not doing enough or that if you don't keep up with something, things will start to fall apart. Putting so much pressure on yourself and trying to take on too much will lead to burnout and delays, so make sure you pace yourself and take breaks to decompress.

I really think that people need to stop shipping Smith Hockey and Celebrini - not for the usual reasons (they're obviously together for now) but because this is so obviously going to burn itself out.

This is Celebrini's first experience of...this. He's going through a lot of milestones - including falling in love for the first time. And that last experience has the habit of feeling like The One™️ at the time, especially if it's your first same sex relationship. (This, incidentally, is why it's so important to let gay and bi teens date openly. Let them have their developmentally appropriate moments.)

This is normal - as is the fact that the far more experienced Smith Hockey is clearly feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of the dynamic and of Celebrini's devotion. The problem is that Celebrini is having a normal (and normally only mildly embarrassing) experience *completely in the public eye*. It's cool that they don't seem to care what people think, but it can't be fun to go through your first relationship and heartbreak entirely publicly. Or for people to treat it as devastating.

We draft our sons into the art of the blade while leaving the brush to wither.

And wonder why the world knows only how to bleed, and never how to bloom.
