Good morning, happy Monday, if you’re in need of some inspiration to jump start this week please look no further than Halle Berry—who’s out here absolutely thriving and living her best life. By which I mean she’s chilling out naked on a balcony drinking wine. As she put it in the caption: “i do what i wanna do. 💋”
While you process how amazing Halle Berry is, we dug up an old interview where she opened up about her attitude towards social media with Harper’s Bazaar. “[Being on Instagram] has been really liberating,” she said. “For so many years, I felt that before I was really a part of social media, many times media outlets would write articles, and they kept spinning the same story. And they were telling the story about me that they either wanted to tell for their publication or just their limited view of who I was. Now with social media, I can control what people know about me and how I present it. One of the benefits of aging—there are many—but one of them is you just start to not give a fuck anymore. Excuse my French. But you just start to not give a fuck!”
She added, “I’m just going to be me, and there’s power in that. You realize that when you do that, people kind of just love you more for it. They want to see that you’re as real as they are. They want to see that you love a good cocktail and that you love a good laugh, and you can put on a sexy dress and feel yourself, and you can take part in silly Internet challenges, and you can read cool books. You’re trying to help yourself and grow. I think it just connects me more to everybody, and that’s been beautiful.”
Cool. Now, FIND ME A BALCONY AND SOME CABERNET, I’M READY.
