Don’t forget, folks - there’s a difference between compromise and settling.
the thank u next video really is a perfect example of how to love yourself. ari really went out after one of the worst years of her life and said “i’m going to write a song thanking my exes and make a music video with all of my friends remaking famous chick flicks because i want to and i DESERVE IT” and then she did it. she truly had the time of her life making this vid and you can tell. we love healing
One thing I’m working on is believing that my present self is just as deserving of love and good things as my future self. I always look forward to bettering myself and reaching my goals and being a better version of myself in the future but I am learning too that my present self is just as worthy. I can’t disregard myself right now just because I am not some idealized future version of myself who has her shit more together. I’m still me right now and me right now is the one who’s working so hard to turn me into that future version of myself.
“So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.”

if you remember that life is fluid you’ll never feel stuck. nothing is the end all or your only option. when something ends it’s your time to start something new. it doesn’t matter how often doors close if you’re always moving forward. don’t dwell or try to open those old doors. the more you keep moving, the more you’ll see life is working in your favor.
“When a devil falls in love, it’s the most hauntingly beautiful thing ever. And you should be terrified, for he will go to the depths of hell for her.”

I was soaked and freezing cold by the time we reached this alpine lake, but something about the sound and tranquility kept me completely unbothered.
