Clare Bowen Instagram – Ok.. I was just after a mad cheering-eachother-on session with a dear friend whom I’m WICKEDLY proud of, over all the crazy stuff we’ve done since meeting as two autistic 11 year olds at school in Australia. We’ve hung onto eachother for dear life ever since.. (even after one of us got booted out of said school.. oops..) followed the heck out of our dreams, worked our arses off, and have always had each other’s backs. 🌈💕✨
Then a bunch of mates FaceTimed me from Nashville, yelling in suspiciously Bostonian accents, waving fun-sized bottles of tequila around to get me back there, because I’m missing everything, especially @brandonrobertyoung , who they’ve been taking care of while I’m away. And it got me thinking on how grateful I am to have the BEST people in my life. Including the gorgeous people I came over here to cheer on in the first place. 💛 ✨
In the same breath, I remembered that not everyone’s lucky enough to have a trusted crew who care.. I didn’t always. Sometimes it takes a minute to know your worth. Sometimes it terrifies people when you figure it out. Your people are the ones who want the best for you, who’re with you for the wonderful, for the devastating, the mundane, and to smash you with memes at 3am – for no reason other than love. 🩷✨
So – I dunno who out there needs to hear it, but just in case no one told you today: You’re awesome. You are beautiful. You are magic. You are wonderful, unique, and loved. Your feelings matter. You are enough. You got this, you badass. Keep going. If you haven’t found your people yet – try to remember that they’re out there in the world right now, waiting to become yours. 💙✨
Tag someone who might need to hear it if you want. I’m calling it Existential Cheerleading, and it’s a team sport. 🤸🏼✨
Love y’all. So bloody much. ♥️✨ | Posted on 04/Oct/2025 08:32:59
