Good morning to badass bitches only. Go forth & fuck it up out there this week.

Them: I’m not sure if I’m a badass bitch because...
Me:

My badass bitch friends & I have a little mantra we say: Highest & best.

It means do the things you need to be your highest & best self; find the tools & supports (friends, therapy) you need to get rid of what is not aiding that mission (body shame, shitty partner, bad habits).

Importantly: your highest & best self isn’t gonna look like anyone else’s highest & best self. Only you know what feels most joyfully authentic & good for you. What that is may change over time & that’s allowed too. Badass bitchery is a journey, a lifestyle, not a location.

Badass bitches know what @OctaviaEButler taught us: “All that you touch you change, all that you change changes you.” Badass bitches adapt.
