WHO HURT HIM

This man had an answer to everything.
My thoughts cannot move an inch without bumping into some piece of you.

FRIDA KAHLO: the definition of a bad motherfucking bitch.
If you’ve never read her journal, do. Her life, by all accounts, was fucking horrible. She was married to fellow artist Diego Rivero, who, as mentioned above, cheated on her so frequently (usually with the models for his paintings) that it’s unbelievable; she survived a near-fatal bus accident in her youth, which not only caused a large piece of jagged metal to pierce her vagina and uterus (which in turn lead to multiple miscarriages later in her life,) but also caused debilitating spinal issues which forced her to constantly wear a restrictive metal back brace; growing complications from the same accident eventually spiraled into gangrene in her foot, which was removed later in her life.
In spite of all of this — or, because of all of this — she continued to create highly-individual, gender-questioning works of art and receive recognition on an international level. She deserves to be remembered for more than one self-portrait and her signature unshaven brow; the courage and, truly, the power with which she confronted the odds against her is beyond heroic.
yo this is legendary.
if you know, you know.
bruhhhhh
Yaaaaas
- Learn to put on your bracelets and zip up your dresses by yourself. There will be times when you will be alone.
- Get on a long plane ride. Look out the window. Understand the immensity of our world. Understand your insignificance. Understand your absolute importance.
- Press the send button. If you don’t say it now, you never will.
- Do not sneer at happiness or roll your eyes at sadness. Be aware that apathy is not healthy.
- You are more than the amount of people who want to have sex with you.
- That pit in your stomach when he doesn’t text you back, it shouldn’t be there. No one should be able to control you like that.
- Shopping is cathartic. Buy the shoes and deal with one-ply toilet paper for a while.
- It will get better, but it will never be perfect. Learn to live through the small moments of happiness. When they disappear, remember they will resurface.
- I promise that cookie will not change anything (except that it will make you smile).
- Please, please, take care of yourself. You are everything to somebody. You are everything to your self. That alone is enough.
I was laying in bed one night and I thought ‘I’ll just quit— to hell with it.’ And another little voice inside me said ‘Don’t quit— save that tiny little ember of spark.’ And never give them that spark because as long as you have that spark, you can start the greatest fire again.
In the end I will be with someone who adores me with a very distinct sureness, I do not travel where I am not wanted wholeheartedly anymore.
