Glow up

Channeled song: I’M THAT GIRL by Beyoncé & Conceited by SZA 

The act of a glow up… it just feels different. The vibe you give off to other people is different. You see yourself differently. You glow differently. Your mindset, physicality, and lust for life all get an upgrade simultaneously.

And you know what? Some of your biggest glow-ups come after your hardest setbacks. It could be a breakup, a mental health break, a financial situation, an academic problem, family situation, or any sort of issue that stems from these topics. There’s a beauty to being at rock bottom. Nothing matters there. From there, there’s only one way to go—up. In my personal experience, I always appreciate life so much more when I’m coming back from rock bottom. I have much more love for the things, people, and places that interest me and a lot more indifference for the issues/worries that I once put on a pedestal above everything else.

Glowing up is about finding your confidence again. Deliberately deciding to be better and do better. Being unapologetic and expressing yourself no matter what. Because can’t nobody beat your ass :D

Advice

If you pull this card, it means you’re glowing up! Experiencing some sort of energetic upgrade. Becoming closer to your higher self. This is definitely your sign to shake your ass in the mirror or take some super cute pictures. You’re beautiful, inside and out.
