what& #39;s been helping me heal and feel better in this mental space/point of my life (22yo)/quarentine have been to find other people who i resonate with and have gone thru the things i& #39;m going through. i& #39;ve especially been enjoying so much work from teenage girls & women alike.

maybe it& #39;s just because i& #39;m a cap-leo but I just thrive on finding people& #39;s art to relate with and love because it makes me feel less alone and empowered in my very ostracizing brain...... anyways I& #39;m going to share

Things That Make Me Feel Better thread:

Megan Thee Stallion (Hot Girl Coach)
she became me and my sisters& #39; fave instantly as quarantine began and got us dancing every time she played. watch her interviews bc I die laughing & completely charmed by her. her lyrics brighten my day.
stream her music

Rina Sawayama
when SAWAYAMA came out i wasn& #39;t prepared. i am always looking out for portfolios that I wish were my own and she has taken the cake. i resonate with her music so much. never felt so seen in my life & packaged so masterfully thru and thru. 1/2

Rina& #39;s lyrics and the production of her songs are 10/10. I can relate to her lyrics without looking it up because I just Get It.
she& #39;s an older sister to me. i feel very much celebrated, normal and less alone because of her. fave.

Rookie Mag
i found out this magazine my junior year of hs and it brings back all the feels. a magazine dedicated to teenagers founded by tavi gevinson at age 15 in 2011. an online community abt art, pop culture, fashion, social issues & feminism. wow. 1/3 https://www.rookiemag.com/ ">https://www.rookiemag.com/">...

although Rookie is no longer active, it& #39;s still such a great resource for so many things. i sometimes forget how insightful we were as teens and how much it still applies beyond those few years. 2/3

I read these today and it filled some void in me in one way or another. 3/3
