I only recently (as in 2 days ago) discovered Melanie Martinez and her wonderful, slightly haunting voice. Apparently she was a candidate on The Voice two years ago (so you can find tons of breathy, wonderful covers of hers on YouTube), and this is the debut single from her first album. Needless to say, I’m totally in love with her musical style and look, and I’ll be listening to this on repeat for the foreseeable future. Hope you enjoy as much as I did. 
This Music Video Is Creepy And Disturbing (And Ridiculously Addictive)

Trace the scars life has left you. It will remind you that at one point, you fought for something. You believed.
“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
