shine your icy crown

find pride in every version of you

that has ever existed.

i don’t need to have a king in order to be called a queen. i have always been a queen in my own right, & now i’m officially declaring it, so bow down,

choosing softness is not a fault or a weakness. sometimes the most valiant thing you can do is make the choice to focus on the beauty left among all this ruination

find pride in every version of you
that has ever existed.
they saw you through so much.
they are what got you here

fearless is she.
to them, this means that
she is a dangerous thing,
because they have no hope
of ever taming her.
—she would have it no other way

you are the only person you have to be with every day, so why shouldn’t you find ways to appreciate you?
—keep falling in love with yourself

she isn’t trying to impress you.
she’s trying to impress herself.

they fear women leaders
the same way they fear
an impending hurricane.
both are determined—

wear the term “basic bitch”
with a sense of pride.
embrace every part of you
they told you to hate.
—unbothered

teach your daughter
that her value
is never tied to the
number of people
she has or has not
slept with
