a message from artemis from you


hey girls

listen close

i have something to tell you 

 

you don’t need a man to be worthy 

just in case you didn’t hear me

i’ll say it again

you don’t need a man to be worthy 

 

you are 

kind

beautiful 

unique 

bright 

and so many other things 

 

you may not be perfect 

but who is really?

you’re you

and are the only you in the whole world

 

you are enough

and if someone says you aren’t

well they aren’t ENOUGH for you 

 

so girls 

raise your voice and raise your bows

don’t settle

don’t be afraid to say no 

and don’t afraid to be yourself
