Baby, just make sure YOU like you. PERIODT! Everyone else is a bonus, at best.
You don't need everyone to like you. I understand this can be an overwhelming trauma response to being neglected and otherwise hurt as a kid without the comfort and reassurance of our parents. But please try to remember that your worth is not dependent on how many people can love you. You have something much more important and worth protecting-- your heart and soul and mind and spirit. Not everyone you meet in this world is gonna resonate and vibe with you on those same levels. You've got to get comfortable with the concept of being misunderstood or feeling out of place-- and, rather than fawn to fit in, take that as a sign to find the spaces and people who can better appreciate you for it.

The way that I look at marriage like a business deal....
Like I really don't plan on getting married unless it benefits me in some way beyond emotional connection. If it isn't upgrading me financially or socially, I'm good.
Too many women are sacrificing their whole selves just cleave to some man's hopes and dreams, to be an accessory in his world. I can't do it, dawg.

Perfectionism is a mf!
You do well but can't enjoy it because you are mad because it could SHOULD have been better!
I need to just be grateful I'm able to do hard stuff in the first place.
It doesn't have to be perfect. But it DOES have to get done. So don't let perfectionism stop your progress.

Andre 3000 is an amazing musician, not just a one dimensional artist that most are accustomed too. He is in his own genre, like Prince. Rap is but one dimension of the dopeness that he is able to tap into musically. Honestly, every time he steps into the booth, he redefines the art of hip hop. Love it! 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
We live in a world where Andre 3000 doesn't think he's a great rapper and also The Tortured Poets Department was proudly released as is.
Man.
The plum fucking AUDACITY of it all!! That's the mark of a true master though, that he still thinks he has room to grow while being as good as he is. I wish nothing but happiness for him and his lil flute. Bc we all know he could still rap circles around these new cats 😤 (putting on my Unc voice)

Andre 3000s New Blue Moon has literal healing properties, I swear! Also, listen to it while sitting outside. The music is curated to accompany the sounds of nature. The birds, the trees, the wind.... You aren't getting the fullness of this album listening to it indoors!
