❝ And kid, you've got to love yourself. You've got to wake up at four in the morning, brew black coffee and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You've got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you've got to wash all your sheets until they smell of the lemon detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. You've got to stop taking everything so personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. You've got to compliment someone's crooked brows or tell someone what their eyes remind you of. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake up early on Sunday. You've got to stop overthinking why someone stopped caring about you over six months ago. You've got to stop asking everyone about their opinions. Love yourself kiddo, you've got to love yourself. ❞
