“The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting. For some, it’s a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamplit desk. Use your natural powers – of persistence, concentration, and insight – to do work you love and work that matters. Solve problems. make art, think deeply. So stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don’t let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don’t force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way.”
— Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking
unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

Dolls, advice of the day is to have a delusional relationship with yourself the way a stan does with their fav.
they never miss any moments in their fav’s life and they always defend them readily without any regret. they are involved in the most useless comments just to be able to discuss how great their fav is. who says you can’t do that for yourself?
there is nothing wrong with living your life as if you’re a celebrity. document your favorite looks, overly exaggerate the features you have that others don’t, highlight your talents and skills, brand yourself cohesively and see life as a runway to market yourself.
do this for at least two weeks. it’ll feel fake and cringe, but the more you pour into yourself instead of giving that to all of your friends or loved ones, the faster you can level up.

for my lonely girls: i remember fka twigs said when she was in her early 20s/in uni she had literally no friends and spent most her time alone or with her mom…idk its very comforting to think abt if you feel like you’re unsatisfied in friendships rn (because, as you can see in her album, twigs found her people finally 🥰)
we’re still young and sometimes that’s hard to remember
if you don’t like any spanish music, i can’t fuck wit you.
