Creating a vision board is an exciting first step toward manifesting the life you want. But let’s get real—slapping a bunch of aesthetic pictures on your screen isn’t enough to make your dream life appear out of thin air. A vision board isn’t magic; it’s a system. It’s how you organize your desires, clarify your goals, and give yourself a daily reminder of the future you’re working toward. So, how do you make your digital vision board come true? Let’s break it down.

Understand the purpose of a vision board

Your vision board isn’t just “cute inspo”; it’s a filter for your thoughts. Think of it as a GPS for your goals. Every image, quote, or word on it represents something you want to feel, achieve, or embody. Take time to really think about what those things mean to you. Do you want more peace? Financial freedom? Confidence? Success? What does that look like specifically for you?

Use it as a daily reminder

Make your vision board visible everywhere. Your phone background, your laptop screensaver, even as a pinned note in your Notion or Pinterest account. Every time you glance at it, ask yourself:

“Am I making choices that align with this vision?”

“How can I take one small step today toward this goal?”

Break it down into achievable micro-actions

A vision board helps you see the big picture, but success comes from small, consistent actions. Look at your board and reverse-engineer each goal.

Want financial freedom? Start tracking your expenses or saving $10 a week.

Dreaming of a life filled with more romance and whimsy? Plan a solo museum day or start journaling by candlelight.

Visualizing health and fitness? Swap one sugary snack for a fruit every day.

When it’s broken down like this, it doesn’t seem so daunting, but it makes a significant difference. Each micro-action is a brick in the foundation of the life you dream of.

Create a plan of execution

A vision board without action is just a pretty picture. Pair your board with a system for execution. I love tools like:

Notion or Google Calendar: For setting deadlines and organizing goals.

Habit trackers: To build daily habits that reflect your vision.

Monthly check-ins: Sit down with your vision board and assess where you’re thriving and where you need to refocus.

Cultivate a mindset to match

The person who achieves your vision is already inside of you—but it takes intention to bring them to the surface. This means:

Being kind to yourself.

Building discipline, even when motivation fades.

Letting go of limiting beliefs that tell you it’s “too hard” or “too late.”

Your vision board is a reflection of your best self. Start showing up as them today.

Celebrate Small Wins

Every time you achieve even a small goal from your board, celebrate! Gratitude and celebration keep you motivated and signal to your brain that this new life is worth fighting for.

Your vision board isn’t just about manifesting—it’s about moving with intention. Dream big, work small, and remember that every time you glance at your phone or open your laptop, you’re being reminded of the life you’re creating.

Dear Nobody’s Daughter, to Live Through This, you scrape off your Celebrity Skin; you know full well that you’re Pretty On The Inside...

HOW TO GET INTO HOLE?

• Siläs guide: I.

Aimed at @saintfrancis-ofassisi and whomever wants to get into Hole...

HOLE is an American nineties’s kinderwhore band with a turbulent line-up and pure chaotic gold for music yet overshadowed by the controversial image of the lead singer and frontwoman of the band, Courtney Love. A staple in the grunge scene, the critically acclaimed sophomore record Live Through This of 1994 marked a peak in Hole’s career although the band was gaining audience for their 1991 debut: Pretty On The Inside. Celebrity Skin, the 1998 album, proved Hole’s peak which was rightly concluded by 2010’s Nobody’s Daughter thus finishing the legacy of Hole.

...In my very humble opinion, Courtney Love is a cunt. And, I love her music.

DO TRY Hole if you are into: Jack Off Jill, Bratmobile, Nirvana, Babes In Toyland, L7, Veruca Salt, Mommy Long Legs, Bikini Kill, Lunachicks, et cetera. Or, if you’d like to try something dolly and chaotic with an edge of feminism and aggression. I promise, listening to Hole makes you feel like a doll.

DO NOT TRY Hole if you’re a filthy misogynist who can’t stand the fact that the wife of a popular artist does in fact make good music on her own.

Yes, Courtney Love is a cunt, but she makes good music. Seperate the artist from the art.

If you’re still present here, welcome! Now, moving onto the actual guide...

FIRSTLY, I think to decode this, we’d have to learn about the albums individually. Of course, I’m going to leave my recommendation for listening, but to best suit yourself, you can find your own way around with the descriptions I give for each of these albums...

“ PRETTY ON THE INSIDE ”

Slut-kiss girl... PRETTY ON THE INSIDE of 1991 is about beauty, which is the life as a sex-worker about Courtney Love’s time as a sex-worker. It includes Courtney Love on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Erlandson on lead guitar, Jill Emery on bass, Caroline Rue on drums, produced by Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Don Fleming of Gumball.

tracklist. TEENAGE WHORE, BABYDOLL, GARBADGE MAN, SASSY, GOOD SISTER—BAD SISTER, MRS. JONES, BERRY, LOADED, STARBELLY, PRETTY ON THE INSIDE, CLOUDS.

IF YOU WANT... angry, chaotic, messy and sloppily mixed music that is very heady and makes you feel like a doll, listen to this album first.

Blending elements of punk rock, the album features distorted and alternating guitar compositions, screaming vocals from Love, and “sloppy punk ethics”, a style which the band would later distance themselves from, opting for a less abrasive sound on subsequent releases. Love’s lyrics on the album are often presented in an abstract narrative form, and describe disparate scenes of graphic violence, death, and female sexuality. The record was dedicated to Rob Ritter of the Los Angeles punk rock acts the Bags and The Gun Club. [< source, wikipedia.

If you want a more refined yet more depressed version of this album, migrate to Live Through This after; if you want a more refined and self-assured, slightly sarcastic but honest record after this listen, go to Celebrity Skin.

FUN FACT: the song BABYDOLL is allegedly inspired by Madonna.

“ LIVE THROUGH THIS ”

Miss Worlds... LIVE THROUGH THIS of 1994 is about the changes that come with marriage and motherhood, themes mainly being motherhood, body image, depression, child abuse and elitism. It includes Courtney Love on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Erlandson on lead guitar, Kristen Pfaff on bass, Patty Schemel on drums, produced by Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade.

tracklist. VIOLET, MISS WORLD, PLUMP, ASKING FOR IT, JENNIFER’S BODY, DOLL PARTS, CREDIT IN A STRAIGHT WORLD, SOFTER, SOFTEST, SHE WALKS ON ME, I THINK THAT I WOULD DIE, GUTLESS, ROCK STAR.

IF YOU WANT... a tragic and softly edgy listen with a harsh sensibility and pure womanly depression scrawled all over, listen to this album first.

Live Through This marked a departure from the band’s noise rock roots toward a more alternative rock format. Love had sought a more mellow sound for Live Through This. The resulting music was starkly less aggressive than the band's former work, blending more structured melodies and smoother arrangements with heavy guitar riffs. Consequently, this featured a mixture of songwriting techniques, including use of power chords as well as arpeggios, and occasional use of keyboards. [< source, wikipedia.

If you want a tougher, rawer, more journal-entry music than this, migrate to Pretty On The Inside; if you want a more refined and self-assured, slightly sarcastic but honest record after this listen, go to Celebrity Skin.

FUN FACT: Courtney Love’s late husband Kurt Cobain does backing vocals on ASKING FOR IT.

“ CELEBRITY SKIN ”

Petals... CELEBRITY SKIN of 1998 is about the lost people, the more opulent Los Angeles and Californian culture, about the promises and agonies of Southern California; it was aimed to divulge greatly from the grunge sound of before. It includes Courtney Love on vocals and rhythm guitar, Eric Erlandson on lead guitar, Melissa Auf der Maur on bass, Patty Schemel on drums, produced by Michael Beinhorn.

tracklist. CELEBRITY SKIN, AWFUL, HIT SO HARD, MALIBU, REASONS TO BE BEAUTIFUL, DYING, USE ONCE & DESTROY, NORTHERN STAR, BOYS ON THE RADIO, HEAVEN TONIGHT, PLAYING YOUR SONGS, PETALS.

IF YOU WANT... a rock-fueled pop sound with many lyrics that are references and have layered meanings, a comforting almost listen, listen to this album first.

The band sought to use Los Angeles and the state of California as a unifying theme and began writing what they conceived as a “California album” in 1997. Unlike Hole's previous releases, the final songs on Celebrity Skin featured instrumental contributions from several musicians outside the band, primarily Billy Corgan, who co-wrote the musical arrangements on five songs. Auf der Maur's former bandmate Jordon Zadorozny, as well as Go-Go's guitarist Charlotte Caffey, also contributed to the composition of one track. Frontwoman Courtney Love, who wrote all of the lyrics, named the album and its title track after a poem she had written that was influenced by T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Motifs of water and drowning are also prominent throughout the album, as well as recurring themes of angels, Heaven and stars. [< source, wikipedia.

If you want a tougher, rawer, more journal-entry music than this, migrate to Pretty On The Inside; if you want a grungier yet more depressed version of this album, migrate to Live Through This after.

FUN FACT: Love clarified that she had derived the album name from a short-lived band in Los Angeles named Celebrity Skin, as well as a bootleg pornographic magazine featuring nude candid photos of celebrities.

“ NOBODY’S DAUGHTER ”

Dirty Girls... NOBODY’S DAUGHTER of 2010 is about the time of rehabilitation that Courtney Love went through after a long cocaine addiction and legal troubles following that, written in rehabilitation; about feeling lost, confused. It was supposed to be a solo album of Love’s, but was made to be Hole’s last album after their 2002 dissolution. It includes Courtney Love on vocals and rhythm guitar, Micko Larkin on lead guitar, Shawn Dailey on bass, Stu Fisher on drums, produced by Michael Beinhorn, Micko Larkin, and Linda Perry.

tracklist. NOBODY’S DAUGHTER, SKINNY LITTLE BITCH, HONEY, PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, SAMANTHA, SOMEONE ELSE’S BED, FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, LETTER TO GOD, LOSER DUST, HOW DIRTY GIRLS GET CLEAN, NEVER GO HUNGRY.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM VERY FIRSTLY, but, IF YOU WANT... a polished and the most mainstream-sounding of the four albums, sad, confused, lost record written during rehabilitation, this is your key.

Before the album’s release, former Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson publicly disputed Love’s use of the Hole name, claiming it violated a previous agreement between the two, which Love contested. On its release, Nobody’s Daughter received generally mixed reviews from music critics, with some praising its instrumentation and lyrics, while others criticized it for its folk rock elements as well as production issues and Love’s vocals. Despite this, Love said in 2010 that she considered it the best record she had made. [< source, wikipedia.

If you want a tougher, rawer, more journal-entry music than this, migrate to Pretty On The Inside; if you want a grungier yet more depressed version of this album, migrate to Live Through This after; if you want a similar but more scattered listen, to Celebrity Skin.

FUN FACT: The painting on the cover is of Marie Antoinette and the tracklist page has the edited background of a painting of Anne Boleyn.

MY RECOMMENDED PATHWAYS...

Lastly...

HOLE is a kinderwhore band, which is minutely distinct from riot grrrl. And, Courtney Love has a lot of beef with, to be honest, mostly everyone. So, yeah... For example, Babes In Toyland, a band often mentioned in the same vein as Hole, has their frontwoman, Kat Bjelland, in hatred with Love. I do not recommend looking up to these people as people, but please do try their music.

Die, cry, adore Hole.

FUN FACT: My favourite Hole album is Pretty On The Inside!

Dear Nobody’s Daughter, to Live Through This, you scrape off your Celebrity Skin; you know full well that you’re Pretty On The Inside...

DID YOU GET INTO HOLE?

I been seeing lots of amazing au from different fandoms, and after watching Kumichou Musume to Sewagakari (The Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting) this just gave me a good idea of a modern day au ! I wish for a world where everyone is alive as their own person, but mob life cause they looks cool, but also a bit of slice of life into it . Now with baby yuji, nobara and megumi for the cuteness!! I also wanna add ´reader / y/n ´ as a person into the au for you guys to feel more immerse with the au but I have yet to think of how to add them into it.

I think I am doing this right but it is just an idea!!!

Haha Hey fun fact I work in childcare and a coworker once snobbily talked to me about how game guides are cheating and I was polite but I nearly bit her face off because this was right after a small child who loves playing on my unit's Nes came to me so excited to show me his minecraft game guide and who would actually hate on a child loving to play a game that seems mean and for me actually the only way I feel super comfortable playing some games is by looking up or preferably getting a book game guide because I've always struggled with getting freaked out by things and jumpscares and I get startled easily and I couldn't play video games for the longest time as a kid until my sister sat down and patiently explained to me how to do it without getting scared and no I am not a bad player I almost never die with or without the guide and my friends get them as collectibles and love the chance to %100 the game especially if they're a fan writer or artist knowing and finding all the content is great and for those with extreme anxiety it literally can be an accessibility aid to overcome fears and completists can have a blast with it and by the way video games are literally meant for fun hence why they are called a game so if a guide is how someone chooses to play it because that's the best way for them to have fun then that is exactly what they should be doing whatever is best for them some people like fighting a lot or plot or exploring but however it is game guides are meant to further the experience and acting snobby about it by calling something others enjoy cheating does not speak well for your character and so if you think game guides are dumb and cheating enjoy your last sub-par words because I will E A T Y O U

:)

and hey if you use game guides and have felt terrible when others call them cheating? I love you. Have fun playing your game :)

So far these scriptbooks have been really interesting and I have some longer ramblings I'm building up right now, but I need to appreciate Harry in Mother's Ruin for a second:

Love that this is the only bit of description we get.

Canonically a Paul.

It's interesting that they softened this to "oh bloody hell". Why'd they deprive him of saying fuck :((

Okay on a more serious note, WHAT WAS HE GOING TO ASK??? He already asked if she forgave him. Maybe he was going to ask about the money, but idk he seemed a lot less eager about it then Ed did. I'm not sure if he would have asked without him there.

I kind of wish they kept that direction, but maybe that's just me.

Never change, Harry. <333

Bonus sad Ed bit:

It's just one sentence but "She'd always let me know I'd slightly let her down" :((
