Philadelphia Academy Of Fine Arts. Art Matters Art Speaks To Us In Way That Words Can’t That’s How

Only you can love you like you

Only you know what you need to hear

Sure it would be nice if someone else held your hand

If someone held you tight

If you didn’t have to cry from feeling alone

Because you weren’t

But you can be there for you

When you cry

Pick your head up

You can talk yourself up

Tell yourself to get up

You can do it

You can

By yourself

Love yourself like no one else

Love yourself more then a basic person could

Love yourself

Take care of yourself

Love yourself

Take care of yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen when yourself says pick up this book

Pick up this paint brush

Pick up your head

Lift your voice

Focus

Be quiet

Stretch

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

It’s okay

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Youre here

Youre meant to be here

You have a purpose to fulfill

You will be rewarded

It’s okay

Just breathe

Just listen

This moment will pass

You can find peace in this moment

You can be at peace

This moment will pass

You will be at peace

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Listen yourself

Only you can love you like you

Only you know what you need

Breathe

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I will care for you

I will make sure you’re okay

I will make sure nothing happens to you

I love you

Super similar.

It’s interesting to see, how I see me

And how someone else sees me

I don’t think these two point of views have ever been so close

I was not having the best day

So I called my mom on Facebook messenger

Because I knew I wanted to see her

And she talked me up with filters

🖤🤟🏾🖤

There they go again 🖤✌🏾

One day you’ll realize your hero’s are human
