Your Worth

[relatablejoe]

the city you built

he named a city of loneliness after you, but you walked its streets like a traveler, planting gardens where feelings were buried. you learned the heart is no grave, it is soil, and everything laid down there grows back, softer, wiser, yours.

you had everything, they said, yet affection came without ceremony, so you became your own ceremony. beauty stopped needing permission, your words turned to honest magic, and when you left the rest to God, you finally came home to yourself.

Shattered Trust: How My Best Friend Became My Biggest Betrayer

Hey everyone, it's me still haunted by those school days that turned from golden to heartbreaking memories. If you've ever had a "best friend" trash your skin, your heart, and your whole vibe to climb her own ladder, this is for you.I'm finally ready to unpack the backstab from my so-called best friend that changed everything.

We were inseparable from Class 6 onward, two giggling girls running through the school corridors . She was my partner-in-crime for skipping boring classes, my shoulder to cry during my sad times, the one who'd share her tiffin when mine I don't like mine. Recess was our favourite swapping secrets while sitting in the playground, talking about our favourite actor, and promising to be best friends forever. I trusted her with it all: my insecurities about having a dark skin tone . She knew my soul.

Until, when we were in class 9. One afternoon when I returned from the break I heard her talking trash about my dark skin tone like "how dark skin she has" and trashing my character. I was dumbfounded to even confront her at that time and had to control my tears . At the end of the day I confronted her asking why she talked about me but all I got was her saying "I pretended to be your friend to use you but now I don't need you anymore". That day I understood why people talk about how friendship heartbreak is more painful than love heartbreak.Three years of trust and loyalty gone. I distanced from all the common friends we had and I was lonely, no friends till I completed class 12 to protect myself.

At school I may have been lonely but my home was my safe heaven. I had 2 important reasons to overcome the heartbreak. One being my family's constant support and reminding me I am beautiful the way I am and the other is BTS(kpop group) songs of self love .

Years later, post-boards, the sting lingers.But school heartbreak taught me: true friends fight with you, not against. I'm still healing ,new friends in college, learning to trust again and open my heart.

Share in comments if you have faced any similar heartbreak.

Things that quietly change your life (if you let them)

Having a growth mindset

Stepping outside your comfort zone (even if it’s scary)

Meditating — even if your brain is loud

Learning to bounce back (resilience isn’t always loud)

Asking for feedback… and actually hearing it

Setting goals that make sense (not just look good)

Choosing to see the light — even on dark days

Caring for your mind, your body, your sleep

Learning to speak kindly — to others and yourself

Sitting with your thoughts (hello, self-reflection)

Reading books that stretch your mind

Setting clear goals, not just busy ones

Fighting procrastination (gently, not with shame)

Being grateful — even for the little stuff

Choosing growth over comfort

Designing a morning routine that feels like you

Staying curious, always learning

Building emotional intelligence (feel it, don’t fake it)

Making art, even if no one sees it

Learning time isn’t the enemy — it’s the mirror

Putting yourself on the list (not last)

Journaling just to breathe on paper

Giving your time to something bigger (volunteer)

Celebrating your wins — big and tiny

Adding a few more that matter:

Letting go of people who don’t clap for you

Forgiving yourself for old versions of you

Unlearning what broke you

Being patient with your progress

Believing you're allowed to be happy

You won’t master all of these overnight. But try one. Then another. And one day you’ll look back and realize You became someone you’re proud of.

How to live like a VS angel🪽💗

Hey angels!! I have made a survey to decide what i should post and living like a vs angel was the top wanted one! But if you voted for any other thing, don’t worry because I will try to post every one of them in order.

Before we start, please don’t forget to ask me any questions you have or give me any ideas using the button named “psst angel” on my profile xoxo <3

Let’s get started!! ↓↓↓

♡ Confidence is the key

As I always say, confidence is the most important thing if you want to have a positive life. Since this post is based on VS models, it has even more of a special place here. Because you can’t see a successful model feeling so insecure. They walk on the stage like they own the place!

Yeah, maybe it’s easy to say and probably you’re asking “But Julia how am I supposed to do it??”

Let’s start with the basics!

- Do not listen to sad songs, instead make a playlist with the songs that make you feel confident.

- If you’re interested, don’t forget to read my other article. I mentioned a lot of tips to feel better! Click here to read it!

♡ Take care of your body

VS angels known for their work outs and their healthy bodies! Create a good diet (if you’re comfortable with it of course. I am definitely not forcing. You are perfect as the way you’re!) but never starve yourself. Your body needs food. I put some meal inspos down below!

Start doing pilates, yoga or work out! You can find a lot of VS angel work outs on Pinterest and choose the one that is best for your body. But be careful, don’t force your body. We aren’t trying to make you perfect, we aim to make you feel like a VS angel and make sure you’re healthy like them.

Do your skincare! I highly recommend hydrolic acid if you have acnes on your face or shoulders. You can also apply some ice on your face if you don’t have a sensitive skin (if your skin is sensitive, it will cause redness). Lastly, never sleep with your makeup!

Get enough sleep. I know, in summer it’s so hard to sleep sometimes. If you’re having a hard time, don’t drink any drinks which contain caffeine after 8 or 9 pm. You can drink milk, eat yogurt since they will make you sleepy.

Here are some healthy meal inspos from VS angels that I found from Pinterest:

♡ Always smell good

Have a signature scent for yourself! Take showers after you sweat. But not everyday! It’d ruin your skin barrier and make your hair greasy.

I LOVE Victoria’s Secret body mists and perfumes but they’re not very permanent unfortunately :( So don’t forget to get some information before you buy any perfume or body mist. Because I reapply my VS body mist every single hour since it’s not very permanent😭😭

You can combine your perfume with body lotion and peeling! It’ll make your scent even more permanent! For example, I use VS Velvet Petals body lotion and then the body mist of it! It’s definitely making difference!

I usually use floral scents for summer/spring and vanilla cupcake scents for winter/fall!

♡ Reduce your screen time

Instead of scrolling down on your phone for hours, spend some time with yourself. Draw, paint your nails, do makeup, try on outfits, go to shopping, play an instrument, learn a new language or meditate (which models do so often).

I have watched a lot of interviews of VS models and they always said that spending time with yourself is the most special thing. I think they’re right! The more you spend time with yourself = the more you’re happy and stress free.

We don’t want you to spend your whole day on your phone and then regret it, right?

♡ Don’t be harsh with yourself

And our last rule!

Don’t forget that you’re so beautiful as the way you’re. Don’t try to change yourself to be loved or feel like you’re one of those people. If they laugh at you because you’re different, then laugh at them because they’re the same!

I haven’t made this post to make anyone feel inadequate. On the contrary, this post is about feeling good about yourself.

You don’t have to be an actual VS angel since you are already an angel in my eyes. Love you girlies! Mwah! Take care!!!
