rolling around in bed singing along to the supremes forever

and honestly, never let any man tell you that you’re too conceited or that he thinks you’re too full of yourself. dr. angelou said some real shit about how modesty is a learned adaptation that people use to cheat themselves out of acknowledging their own greatness. we learn to make ourselves smaller for the world, to accommodate others, to make men feel better and bigger in comparison to us and i’m not here for it. i’m all about remaining humble, but modesty is for the birds. if you smart, be smart, if you pretty, you fucking pretty. if you funny, then own it. whatever is inside you that is good and true and better, embrace that shit. never let people forget that the universe took its damn time cooking you up and the fact that you exist and have made it this far means you’re a miracle by virtue of being alive.
