mindy, a MAN came between my bestie and i and now we're not speaking. she won't talk to me and she deleted all of our chats :/ the 'man' in question is her boyfriend who (in my opinion + in the opinion of others) is really mean to her sometimes (ex. yelling that he hates her, that he wouldn't care if they broke up, etc.). she didn't like the things i said about him (though she never brought that up until now) and thought i apologized and tried to make amends, she hasn't talked to me since and it's especially awkward since we work together. what should i do?

hey lovelie,
first of all, i’m so sorry you’re in this situation. it’s one of those messy, gut-twisting friendship crossroads that nobody ever teaches you how to handle. it’s layered: your bestie, her boyfriend, your workplace, and your own heart in the middle of it. i can feel how much you care, and i want to give you advice that’s actually helpful, not just “time heals all wounds.”
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ what’s really going on here the man isn’t the real issue (even though, let’s be honest, he sounds like a walking red flag parade). the core problem is your bestie feels like you judged her choices. people in relationships, especially ones that aren’t the healthiest, tend to double down on defending their partner when they feel criticized. she probably knows deep down that what he’s saying and doing isn’t okay. but hearing it from you might’ve felt like “attack” instead of “concern.”
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ what you did right (and wrong) you already apologized and tried to make amends. that’s huge. that’s emotional maturity. what you maybe underestimated was how long it can take someone to soften after they feel betrayed, even if you didn’t intend it that way. she deleted your chats (which is dramatic, yes, but also a sign she’s trying to distance herself emotionally). that’s her setting a boundary, even if it’s hurtful and extreme.
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ what to actually do now
pull back without fully disappearing. give her space. no long essays, no repeated apologies. she’s not in the place to hear you. but don’t vanish either, she still needs proof that you’re steady. a neutral, short check-in once every few weeks (“hope you’re doing okay. i miss you, no pressure to reply”) keeps the door open without pushing her.
make work interactions safe. since you work together, keep it professional, light, and drama-free. no tension, no pointed energy. you showing up with grace will say more than any apology could.
release the outcome. i know it hurts, but sometimes friendships enter a “pause.” this doesn’t have to be forever. if you force it, she’ll retreat further. if you accept it and stay consistent, there’s a chance she’ll circle back when she sees the truth about him (and she will, eventually).
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ a shift in mindset this is the hardest part: stop trying to save her from him. it’s not your job. people can’t be rescued, only supported. what you can do is:
be the friend who isn’t bitter or judgmental, just steady.
focus on your own life, your glow, your energy, your friendships that bring you peace.
remind yourself: if she’s choosing him over you, it’s never about your worth. it’s her current state of mind.
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ what to say if she ever reaches out don’t rehash the fight. don’t say “i told you so.” just: “i love you, and i always want you in my life, no matter what.” keep it warm and forward-focused. sometimes the most healing thing is to not dissect every wound, but to let the friendship rebuild through small, safe moments.
⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ final truth you’re allowed to feel hurt. you’re allowed to feel abandoned. but you’re also allowed to move forward. if she comes back, amazing. you’ll both be stronger for it. if she doesn’t, it means she chose her path, and you have to keep walking yours. people who love deeply (like you clearly do) often get burned the hardest. but i promise that same deep love will bring you better, truer friendships that can’t be shaken by a man’s temper tantrums.
be patient, stay soft, and protect your own glow.
xoxo, mindy 🤍

hey my favourite hoe!!!
i got some really bad news..
my girlfriend just broke up with me and im finding it really hard to cope with. do you have any tips?? I could really use any right now mwah mwah kiss kiss, xoxo emily
Tumblr media
hey emily 💔
first of all, i’m wrapping you up in the biggest blanket hug ever. breakups feel like someone has yanked the floor out from under you, and you’re just… floating in the freefall. there’s no sugarcoating it, it sucks, and you’re allowed to say it sucks without trying to immediately “find the lesson” or “be grateful for the memories.” right now, your job isn’t to be inspirational. your job is to just survive the day.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ surviving the first wave ・:ೃ.⋆ your brain is probably doing that thing where it keeps replaying moments... the good ones, the bad ones, all tangled together, and each one feels like a punch. this is normal. your brain’s trying to make sense of something it doesn’t want to accept yet. so, you need to stop feeding it extra material. that means muting her on socials, tucking away pictures, hiding her sweatshirt at the back of the closet. not because you’re erasing her, but because you’re protecting you. it’s like stopping the bleeding before you can even think about healing.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ feeling without drowning ・:ೃ.⋆ the hardest part is letting yourself feel without letting it swallow you whole. when you start spiraling, set a timer for 10 minutes. let yourself cry, scream into a pillow, write an unhinged note in your phone about how much she hurt you, whatever. when the timer goes off, you do something physical to pull yourself out, wash your face with cold water, step outside, stretch until your muscles ache a little. grief is a wave. you don’t stop it from coming, but you can keep yourself from being dragged under every time.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ stop romanticizing the version of her in your head ・:ೃ.⋆ i know you keep thinking about how she laughed that one time, or the way she looked at you when you were half-asleep. but here’s the thing... that girl doesn’t exist anymore. maybe she never did, at least not fully. you were in love with a whole version of her that’s now gone, and the person standing here in the breakup aftermath isn’t the one you built a life in your mind with. it’s brutal, but the quicker you stop reaching for her shadow, the sooner you can start holding your own hand instead.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ make “nexts” instead of “nevers” ・:ೃ.⋆ people always say “you’ll love again,” which is true but annoyingly vague. so don’t focus on the forever, focus on the next. the next new café you’ll go to without thinking of her. the next song you’ll find that makes you feel something that isn’t grief. the next inside joke you’ll make with someone new. little nexts stack into a life that feels yours again.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ create tiny rituals just for you ・:ೃ.⋆ when your relationship ends, all the small shared routines vanish, the good morning texts, the tv show you watched together, even the way you grocery shopped. that absence is loud. so you need to fill it with your noise. start a silly playlist you add to every morning. light a candle at night when you’re getting ready for bed. make sunday mornings your “slow breakfast and no phone” day. the point isn’t distraction, it’s proof that life still has sweetness even when your heart is bruised.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ don’t rush the rebuild ・:ೃ.⋆ you’re going to have days you feel okay, and then suddenly one tiny thing will knock the wind out of you. this doesn’t mean you’re “regressing” or “failing” at moving on. healing isn’t a straight staircase, it’s a messy map with loops, pauses, and random bursts forward. be gentle with the girl who wakes up crying. she’s also the girl who will one day laugh so hard she forgets she was ever this sad.
so for now, eat something, even if it’s just toast. text a friend “i’m sad” and let them send you memes. wear something soft. breathe through it. you are not stuck here forever, i promise.
xoxo, mindy 🤍

Back From My Unannounced Hiatus!
hey lovelies
i know i kind of… disappeared. no warning, no little “brb” note, just poof. life has been very life lately and i needed to quietly step back for a bit. i didn’t mean to leave anyone hanging, especially if you’ve been waiting for posts or an answer in my inbox (i see you, i promise).
but i’m back now, not diving in all at once, just slowly easing back into things here. i’ll be posting again, catching up on messages, and putting some love back into this space. thank you for being patient with me, and honestly, for still being here even when i went radio silent. it means more than i can explain.
new things are coming, but for now, let’s just enjoy being back together.
xoxo, mindy 🤍

✧・゜: she studies. she plans. she glows. :・゜✧
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hey lovelies,
i need to tell you something that changed my life: you don’t glow by accident. you glow because you chose to live with intention. and behind that intention? there’s always structure. softness needs structure. dreams need systems. the glow doesn’t last if there’s no fuel. and that’s why she studies. she plans. and then, she glows.
i used to think planning made me rigid. that studying was something i did to survive school. but now? it’s sacred. planning is self-devotion. studying is energy refinement. it’s how i stay rooted in who i’m becoming.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ study like a girl who knows what she wants ・:
studying isn’t just for students. we’re always studying, ourselves, our habits, the world, patterns, people. studying is the art of paying attention. and when you start doing it on purpose? you become dangerously clear.
here’s how i study now:
1. i study myself. daily. i treat my thoughts like data. i track what energizes me. what drains me. what time of day i spiral. what triggers my self-doubt. what environments make me feel beautiful. this is a full-time subject. i don’t wait until a breakdown to learn my patterns.
2. i study things that build the life i want. if i want soft mornings, i study slow living. if i want a glowettee brand empire, i study content strategy and brand psychology. no more “i’ll figure it out eventually.” i study with intention. curiosity is a power tool, use it.
3. i study people who already have what i want, but i don’t copy them. i look for structure, not aesthetics. what systems are they using? what rituals do they repeat? what don’t they waste time on? i learn their rhythms, not just their results.
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ plan like a goddess in her strategy era ・:࿔
some non-basic planning truths i live by:
✧ weekly glow rituals > daily to-do lists every sunday i set intentions based on how i want to feel, not just what i need to get done. i ask:
what energy do i want to lead with this week?
what will keep me rooted?
where can i be more gentle?
what’s the one thing that would move the needle?
✧ i schedule pleasure, not just productivity if it’s not in the plan, it gets pushed to the side. so i block time for:
doing my makeup with no rush
journaling with tea + a playlist
going outside to look at the sky
pinterest moodboarding just for fun this isn’t extra. this is fuel.
✧ i create systems for my future self i don’t plan in chaos. i plan for ease. that means:
organizing my folders so i can find things fast
having templates for content so i’m not starting from zero
using rituals (like matcha, same playlist, same candle) to signal “it’s time to work”
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ glowing is the result of living in alignment ・:࿔
the glow isn’t makeup. it’s not good lighting. it’s alignment. it’s what happens when your actions are in sync with your purpose. when your days reflect your values. when you stop running in five directions just to look busy, and instead move in one clear, beautiful direction that’s yours.
you glow when:
your nervous system is regulated
you’re clear on your priorities
you don’t betray your energy just to be seen
your rituals keep you anchored
your goals are connected to your self-respect, not your ego
⋆.ೃ࿔:・ let me be real for a sec ・:࿔
i don’t always feel put-together. i still spiral. i still cry on the floor sometimes. but the difference now is, i don’t stay lost. i have a system that brings me back.
my plans hold me when i start to slip. my study habits sharpen me when i’m confused. my glow reminds me that i’m doing this all with love.
so if you’ve been floating, flailing, forcing, pause. make it gentle again. make it strategic again. study with intention. plan with softness. glow without apology.
xoxo, mindy 🤍

✧ some girls collect books like other people collect apologies ✧ | aria montgomery
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
you know that girl who always looks like she’s coming from a bookstore or a heartbreak? that’s aria montgomery. oversized sweater slipping off one shoulder. spiral notebook clutched like a secret. vintage ring that doesn’t match but still looks intentional. she’s the reason why half of us still romanticize rainy days and weird thrift store finds.
aria isn’t the dark academia girl who quotes aristotle or does latin translations for fun, she’s the one who writes poems in her margins during math class, the one who shows up to school wearing velvet in september, and the one who knows how to turn every trauma into a metaphor.
i wanted to talk about what makes her the ✧ dark dream girl ✧ of rosewood, and how you can borrow that energy for your own dark academia-coded study + lifestyle routine.
(i tried a very poetic approach to this post, if you wanna see more, go follow my substack)
✧ the emotional foundation: aestheticism as survival
aria doesn’t just like pretty things, she needs them. for girls like her, beauty is a shield. it’s the perfume you spray before crying. it’s the eyeliner you perfect after your trust is broken. aria uses art and literature the way some people use therapists: she confesses to her canvas, she bleeds into her journal.
she was never just “quirky.” she was trying to survive in the most beautiful way possible.
you don’t do it to impress anyone. you do it to stay soft in a world that keeps trying to roughen you up.
✧ your aria-inspired academic lifestyle
studying isn’t boring when it’s a little bit haunted.
dark academia isn’t only about reading old books. it’s about how you live when you believe everything could be meaningful.
♡ your study rituals:
light a candle before you open your books (yes, even during the day. bonus points if it’s sandalwood or “old library” scented)
romanticize writing essays by doing them in cursive first, or outlining in your favorite pen
create a spotify playlist with dark academia music
keep a book in your bag at all times. your goal is to look like you just escaped a literature class from 1885.
♡ your tools:
a notebook that feels like it’s holding secrets (leather-bound, moleskine, or something you DIY with pressed flowers and tape)
highlighters in muted tones: deep burgundy, antique rose, sage
sticky notes with lines from poems you don’t fully understand, but feel anyway
your favorite pen that feels like it glides across paper when you write something dramatic
✧ the aria montgomery wardrobe theory
aria never dressed for trends, she dressed like a plot twist. litterally. you don’t have to copy her exact looks (feather earrings are very 2012 and that’s okay), but you can channel her ✧ vibe ✧ with this updated formula i created:
🖤 wear textures that feel like stories:
velvet, lace, knit, wool, mesh
things that look like they belong in an old attic or a cursed boarding school
🖤 color palette:
oxblood, ink black, ash grey, cream, plum, antique gold
the kind of colors that make you look like you know how to read tarot and annotate your syllabus
🖤 silhouette:
long coats, ankle boots, chunky scarves, asymmetrical hemlines
anything that gives “i’m on my way to find answers in the rain”
🖤 accessories:
rings on every other finger
book earrings, tiny lockets, vintage glasses
always wear something slightly off, a detail that makes people pause
✧ soft-spoken girls with sharp minds
aria’s quietness isn’t passive. it’s calculated. she observes everything. she remembers everything. and she hides her strength in softness.
when you adopt her mindset, your silence becomes strategy. your softness becomes unsettling. be the mystery and the solution. be the girl who reads you like a book, but won’t even dog-ear the page.
✧ making your life a literary masterpiece
aria montgomery’s entire vibe is living like she’s the main character in a half-sad, half-beautiful novel.
🕯 journal like it’s your only witness
don’t just “take notes.” write diary entries. write how your teacher’s voice sounded like static today. how you saw a bird and thought about someone who doesn’t call anymore.
don’t just do to-do lists. write manifestos.
“today i will be quiet but terrifying. i will get an A and feel nothing. i will smile like i know something they don’t.”
🎞 document everything
take pictures of your desk at golden hour
scan your coffee cup stains and call it “visual poetry”
make your notes beautiful. pretend someone will find them 100 years from now.
🖋 write poetry like it’s a weapon
start with a feeling. disguise it with metaphors.
every time someone makes you feel like nothing, write something beautiful to prove them wrong.
✧ mindy’s personal tips on ariafying your life

💌 keep one book that feels like your personality. reread it every year. 📚 annotate your textbooks like they’re love letters. 🖼 print out art that makes you feel too much and tape it near your desk. 🎭 give every outfit a backstory: “this is what i wore to break someone’s heart in an old bookstore.” 🕯 whisper poetry in the mirror when you don’t feel pretty.
✧ parting thoughts
aria montgomery was never just “the artsy girl.” she was an entire ✧ emotional atmosphere ✧. and if you’ve ever felt too sensitive, too strange, too poetic for this world... you’re not alone. you’re pll-coded. you’re aria-coded. and that makes you dangerous in the most beautiful way.
you don’t have to collect apologies. you can collect books. collect outfits. collect love letters to yourself. and most importantly, collect proof that you felt everything and survived anyway.
i hope you all love this poetic approach, an interest of mine is to study poetry and i wanted to give a more poetic writing style for this, i love this pll series so much and i hope you all do too.
