<p>I’m slowly learning that my feelings don’t always make the right decisions or feel the right emotions. Sometimes they feel things out of loneliness, out of a certain need or just living out a fantasy in my head. I’m slowly learning that my gut can sometimes be deceitful.</p>



<p>I’m slowly learning that my heart can be <em>fickle</em>. Longing for a sweet word, enamored by a simple gesture or chasing things for temporary happiness. I’m slowly learning that when it comes to love, my heart still can’t tell when it’s right. My heart still doesn’t know how to fully trust. My heart is still healing and sometimes the fear of being broken again stops my heart from feeling anything at all.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://amzn.to/4pjx5WM"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" height="1280" width="1024" src="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM12.jpg?w=850" alt="" class="wp-image-1163752" style="width:478px;height:auto" sizes="(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px" srcset="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM12.jpg 1080w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM12.jpg?resize=384,480 384w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM12.jpg?resize=640,800 640w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM12.jpg?resize=768,960 768w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM12.jpg?resize=1024,1280 1024w" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Healing is still teaching my heart to trust—<strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4pjx5WM">read the story here.</a></strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>I’m slowly learning that my feelings change. I wake up every day a different person. Sometimes I’m emotionally available and sometimes I’m guarded. Sometimes I wake up with the urge to give and take care of everyone I love and sometimes I wake up with a need to feel loved and taken care of. Sometimes I feel like I’m ready for love and sometimes I feel like I still have a lot of things to figure out about myself first. Sometimes I know what I want for sure and sometimes I have no idea.</p>



<p>Which is why I’m exhausted. I’m exhausted from overthinking and trying to figure out what everything means. I’m tired of reading too much into the signs and trying to understand what the universe is trying to tell me. I’m tired of asking myself too many questions I’ll never have the answers to. But thankfully, I have someone to lean on. I have someone to trust. I have someone who handles everything I can’t. <em>I have God.</em></p>



<p><strong>And I’m slowly learning how to trust him over my feelings. I’m slowly learning how to follow him over my heart. Because my feelings shouldn’t be all over the place and my heart shouldn’t feel heavy or uneasy. My gut shouldn’t be dishonest and I shouldn’t be so confused if something is meant to be. Maybe the problem is I’m still getting <a href="https://thoughtcatalog.com/rania-naim/2017/06/dear-god-please-dont-let-me-get-attached-to-whats-not-mine/">attached</a> to things that are not meant for me and God is still trying to teach me how to let go.</strong></p>

<p>I’m slowly learning how to live beyond my feelings, beyond the life that I know, beyond the lessons I’ve learned. I’m slowly learning that my feelings can be <em>transient</em> because they’re always attached to how I’m feeling at a certain moment, they’re always dependent on my current state of my mind and I’m learning that if I want to have a calm and stable life, I can’t give in to my feelings, I have to surrender to God, his plans and his timing. I have to trust him more than I trust my feelings. I have to trust his destination even if I don’t know how he&#8217;s going to take me there.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Virgo Everyone knows you’re kind of a loner, Virgo. Your entire outlook on life adopts the maxim that you don’t need anyone else. You can do it all on your own. You are enough for you.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="virgo"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/virgo/">Virgo</a></h2>



<p>Everyone knows you’re kind of a loner, Virgo. Your entire outlook on life adopts the maxim that you don’t need anyone else. You can do it all on your own. You are enough for you. You meet all your needs. For the most part, that’s true, in as much as basic needs are concerned. You can feed and clothe yourself. Your grooming and tidying schedules are akin to Swiss clockwork. But companionship can be a need too, Virgo, even though you see it as a luxury. Something superfluous or frivolous. It doesn’t make you weak or less independent to want to share your thoughts and feelings with someone. To want to enjoy someone else’s company. The quiet comfort of being seen and accepted and loved exactly as you are. You seek validation in so many other aspects of your life. It’s time for you to indulge the healthiest version of it. The kind that will actually satisfy you.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="leo"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/leo/">Leo</a></h2>



<p>You are liked by countless people, Leo, but it’s never enough for you—the void is always there, ever-present and acutely tangible. You’re tired of being liked, of being admired, of being someone else’s ladder to upward social mobility. You want to be loved. You want to be adored in those first moments of a new morning when your hair is a mess and your breath can only be described as foul. You want to be approached by someone who knows nothing about you, your lifestyle, who you know, who knows you. You want someone to perceive through some supernatural ability an impression of who you are at your core. To take an interest in finding out how true to reality that impression is, like a rough sketch on canvas that slowly and meticulously gets filled in with paint until a truer image appears. For that to happen, you have to mingle with strangers this month and enter unfamiliar circles.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="gemini"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/gemini/">Gemini</a></h2>



<p>You’ve been flopping back and forth between two versions of yourself that are equally disingenuous, Gemini. You are playing at competing stereotypes instead of staying true to yourself and breaking the mold. You’re having trouble articulating who you really are, because you don’t have a blueprint for the life you actually want. Parts of your heart yearn for traditional roles and milestones, while others strive for nonconformity. Every time you lean into one half of your desires, you do so in a way that rejects the other, not realizing you can approach things in a way that lets you have the best of both worlds. Once you end this inner battle, you can present a version of yourself to the world that is complete and accurate. People only see what you allow them to see, and until you can show someone the whole picture, they’ll never have the opportunity to sign up for the real thing.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aries"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/aries/">Aries</a></h2>



<p>You have this tendency to resist love, Aries, to push away the very thing you want most. You make too many assumptions that the people you want could never want you back, even though you never have a clear reason why. It’s just this innate sense of insufficiency. You think your past failures in relationships define your capacity to love. You ignore all the lessons you’ve learned, all the ways your experience has allowed you to grow as an individual and as a partner. You never walk into the next relationship the same way you did your last. You have new tools and a wider perspective to aid you in your efforts. All you need to change is the way you see yourself. You need to believe, more than anyone else, that you are deserving of the love you long for. You need to recognize all the worth you bring to the table, how capable you are of giving to a significant other. Only then will you learn to receive in return.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&#8216;Tangled&#8217; is set to be the next upcoming live action adaptation that Disney plans to tackle, and the cast is already looking great—we&#8217;ve got Teagan Croft as Rapunzel and Milo Manheim as Flynn Ryder. And the cherry on top? We now have the casting for Mother Gothel, and it&#8217;s better than we could imagine: Kathryn Hahn.</p>



<p>Kathryn Hahn has definitely solidified herself as <em>that witch</em> after taking on the iconic role of Agatha Harkness in &#8216;Wandavision&#8217; and &#8216;Agatha All Along.&#8217; As soon as &#8216;Tangled&#8217; was announced that it was in the works, fans eagerly jumped on Hahn as a fan favorite to play Rapunzel&#8217;s adopted mother.</p>



<p>And starting today, it looks like our dreams are about to come true.</p>



<p>Hahn took the reins in the announcement of her casting in the movie, choosing to do it in style: during an outfit-of-the-day video that she posted to Instagram, wearing a Mother Gothel shirt.</p>

<p>&#8220;Hey, uh, OOTD, I just found out what that stands for,&#8221; she says in the video, stepping back to show off the shirt. &#8220;So here’s my outfit of the day.&#8221;</p>



<p>While the video doesn&#8217;t mentioned &#8216;Tangled&#8217; or the casting announcement in any other way, the message was still loud and clear: She&#8217;d gotten the part.</p>



<p>To make it more apparent, Hahn also changed her Instagram handle to &#8220;motherhahn,&#8221; pairing it with the bio: &#8220;Mother knows best.&#8221;</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Here are the five zodiacs who love and respect themselves unconditionally, and how astrology explains their high self-esteem. 

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Self-love is a learned behavior that can take a lifetime for some people to understand, if they ever grasp it at all. But for others, self-love comes naturally… after all, you spend your entire life with yourself, so you might as well learn to love it! Certain zodiacs find self-acceptance easier than others, based on their astrological traits. Here are the five zodiacs who love and respect themselves unconditionally, and how astrology explains their high self-esteem.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aries">Aries</h2>



<p>As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries is the “youngest” or most spiritually immature zodiac sign. This means that they are fresh souls, seeing the world with the excitement and curiosity of a young child. Due to their lack of spiritual experience (and the repeated failures and hardships that come with it), Aries people are fearless, and they get back up again every time they’re knocked down. This fire sign is known for their confidence and bravery, and they believe they can do anything they set their minds to. Aries people have an unshakeable faith in themselves, and they always put themselves first.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="taurus">Taurus</h2>



<p>Taurus is an earth sign, and earth signs are known for being steady, stable, and reliable. Taurus people also value these qualities in others, so it boosts their self-esteem to model this behavior. While the other earth signs (Virgo and Capricorn) struggle with self-love, Taurus has a secret weapon to ward off insecurity – Venus, its guiding planet. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, and money, so Tauruses are blessed in all these areas. They are naturally loving (including to themselves), attractive, and good with finances. And, as a fixed sign, Taurus people are notoriously stubborn and believe they are always right, which is further evidence of their strong self-esteem.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="leo">Leo</h2>



<p>Leos are absolutely dripping with confidence and charisma. As the zodiac represented by the fierce lion, this sign is the leader of the pack and the star of the show. While other zodiacs may shrink into the shadows and avoid the spotlight, Leos love having all eyes on them. Many are drawn to careers where they can perform in front of a crowd, whether they are musicians, actors, teachers, or in sales. They are natural leaders who believe in their ability to guide others with strength and compassion. Leo just might be the number one zodiac when it comes to loving themselves, and other signs can take a lesson in self-esteem from this shining star.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sagittarius">Sagittarius</h2>



<p>Yes, all three fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are on the list of zodiacs who love themselves the most. Which makes sense, because fire signs are known for their passion, bravery, confidence, and playfulness. Not only is Sagittarius a fire sign, but it is also the zodiac ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, growth, and expansion. This means that Sagittarians are naturally lucky – they believe in themselves because they know that things always work out in their favor, eventually. They are also always growing and expanding, so they’re confident that they have yet to meet the best version of themselves.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aquarius">Aquarius</h2>



<p>Aquarians are proud to be their authentic selves, no matter what. Guided by Uranus, the planet of innovation and individuality, this zodiac is unapologetic about its eccentricities. Aquarians march to the beat of their own drum, and they’re never afraid to stand out from the crowd. They realize at a young age that they are different, but understand that their differences are what make them so beautiful and amazing. Although Saturn’s influence, as their secondary guiding planet, occasionally makes them insecure, they are mostly strong in their convictions and unwavering in their beliefs. Aquarians are humanitarians who care about society, but they couldn’t care less what anyone else thinks of their idiosyncrasies. They are visionaries who see the world in a unique way, and they are great at zooming out to view the big picture.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[There are three zodiac signs that tend to find themselves knee-deep in love quicker than they can spell “L-O-V-E.”]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Hello, my loves. Have you ever felt like your heart just can’t help but dive headfirst into love? Like it’s a magnet for all things romance, and you find yourself falling quicker than you can say your zodiac sign? Well, guess what? You’re not alone. There are three zodiac signs that tend to find themselves knee-deep in love quicker than they can spell “L-O-V-E.”</p>



<p>Picture this: you’re an emotional sponge, soaking up all the affection, warmth, and love vibes in the air. That’s just how these three signs operate when it comes to matters of the heart. They wear their emotions on their sleeves and have hearts the size of the moon. And when they fall, oh boy, do they fall hard.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="cancer"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/cancer/">Cancer</a></h2>



<p>Let’s start with Cancer. Ah, sweet, sensitive, and oh-so-emotional Cancer. This water sign is ruled by the moon, and emotions are their bread and butter. They love the idea of love itself and tend to let their hearts lead the way. They’re nurturing souls, always looking to shower their partner with affection and care. The moment they feel a connection, they’re all in, planning future dates and picking out couple names before the second date.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pisces"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/pisces/">Pisces</a></h2>



<p>Next up, we’ve got Pisces. Dreamy, imaginative, and romantic to the core, Pisces are like walking love poems. They’re ruled by Neptune, the planet of fantasy and illusion, which makes them incredibly idealistic when it comes to love. They see the best in everyone and believe in fairy tale romances. Their hearts are open books, and they dive into relationships with a sense of deep emotional connection, often falling head over heels before they even realize it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="libra"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/libra/">Libra</a></h2>



<p>Last but certainly not least, we have Libra. Charming, sociable, and oh-so-romantic Libra. They’re ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, which means they practically breathe in romance. Libras are natural-born diplomats and are happiest when they’re in a loving, harmonious relationship. They can’t resist the idea of being in love and tend to fall fast, swept away by the idea of a perfect partnership.</p>



<p>Now, my darlings, before you dive into love, remember that being passionate about love isn’t a bad thing. It’s beautiful to love deeply and wholeheartedly. But it’s essential to balance that fiery passion with a sprinkle of caution. Take your time, let the love simmer, and enjoy the journey of falling in love without losing yourself in the process.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="is-style-introduction">Finding peace starts with surrendering our worries to the universe and trusting that God’s guidance will meet us in the middle of our uncertainty. Best-selling author of <em><em><a href="https://amzn.to/4pjx5WM"><strong>Finding God Every Day</strong></a></em></em>, Rebecca Simon, reminds us to trust God’s timing, embrace patience, and lean on His presence through every season of life.</p>



<p><em>We spend so much time asking God for the things we want, but how often do we ask him to align our hearts with his? You find peace when you finally stop trying to &#8220;manifest&#8221; a life that God is trying to protect you from.</em></p>



<p><em>If you’ve been feeling a tug-of-war in your soul over a relationship, a job, or a dream that just won’t open up — try praying this today.</em></p>

<p><strong>&#8220;If I&#8217;m not meant to have it, Lord,please remove the desire from my heart to want it, and help me find peace in its absence.&#8221;</strong></p>



<p>Because I don&#8217;t want to keep longing for things that can&#8217;t lead me where God is taking me. I&#8217;m learning that closed doors only hurt when my heart is still trying to open them. What I want now is a spirit so settled in God&#8217;s goodness that I no longer feel pulled toward what isn&#8217;t meant for me.</p>

<p>If something is not aligned with his plans, I want my attachment to it to soften. I want my desire for it to fade in a way that feels gentle and honest. And if I&#8217;ve been holding onto anything out of habit, or hope, I want to be able to release it without resentment. I&#8217;m choosing to trust that the peace God gives in the absence of something is just as valuable as the joy he gives in the presence of it.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Here are a few zodiacs who live for the drama:]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Some zodiacs&nbsp;<a href="https://collective.world/4-conflict-avoidant-zodiac-signs/">go out of their way to avoid drama</a>. They don’t want to get mixed up in other people’s problems. Other signs are a bit more curious. They want to know what is going on at all times. Here are a few zodiacs who live for the drama:</p>



<p class="is-style-introduction has-step-4-font-size"><strong><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/gemini/">Gemini</a></strong></p>



<p>Geminis are social butterflies. They can keep a conversation going with anyone, whether they are complete strangers or have known each other for a lifetime. Geminis will make you feel like you can tell them anything – which is exactly what they want. They want to know who is dating who and who has a problem with who. They want to know the dirty little details that are being kept a secret from everyone else in the room. They are&nbsp;<a href="https://collective.world/zodiacs-ranked-from-very-introverted-to-very-extroverted/">extroverted</a>&nbsp;and fun – but they are also one of the nosiest signs in the zodiac, so if you start opening up to them, they will sit and talk to you forever. They will squeeze as much information out of you as possible because their curiosity gets the best of them.</p>



<p class="is-style-introduction has-step-4-font-size"><strong><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/leo/">Leo</a></strong></p>



<p>Leos are one of the&nbsp;<a href="https://collective.world/3-zodiacs-who-will-bring-the-drama-on-christmas-day-december-25/">most dramatic</a>&nbsp;signs in the zodiac. Even though they can come across as self-centered at times, they love hearing even the smallest snippet of drama. When secrets are whispered into their ears, it makes them feel powerful. However, they won’t want to sit quietly in the background while drama is going down in front of them. They want to jump into the mess themselves. They want to be a part of the fun. Leos don’t mind when other people have their name in their mouth. After all, any attention is good attention in their mind. They want all eyes on them. They want to be the center of attention, so they aren’t afraid to start a little drama. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="is-style-introduction has-step-4-font-size"><strong><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/pisces/">Pisces</a></strong></p>



<p>Pisces get emotionally invested in drama, even when it’s happening to celebrities or friends of friends. They are nosy, so they always want to know what is going on in everyone’s lives. They don’t want to miss out on a single detail. Although they might&nbsp;<em>claim&nbsp;</em>that they hate drama because they hate seeing other people upset, they end up involved in a lot of drama anyway. Or, they at least end up&nbsp;<em>hearing&nbsp;</em>about a lot of drama. They might not be involved in any fights themselves, but they’re the one who will comfort their friends at midnight while listening to all of the details about what went down. They’re&nbsp;<a href="https://collective.world/5-zodiacs-who-are-everyones-big-sister/">the shoulder everyone will lean on</a>&nbsp;when it’s time to shed some tears.</p>



<p class="is-style-introduction has-step-4-font-size"><strong><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/cancer/">Cancer</a></strong></p>



<p>Cancers are sensitive. They assume that the world is out to get them so they will panic when someone they care about acts sketchy. Even if that person has done nothing wrong, Cancers might blow the situation out of proportion. They don’t&nbsp;<em>mean&nbsp;</em>to start drama, but their insecurities can get the best of them. Their doubts can cause them to start fights that they never intended to start. Cancers care deeply about the people in their lives, which is why they get so&nbsp;<a href="https://collective.world/these-4-zodiacs-are-the-most-persistent-with-their-passions/">passionate</a>. It’s why they can (accidentally) cause so much trouble.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="is-style-introduction">Calvin Klein is taking over the internet right now with its Spring 2026 campaign starring Dakota Johnson. The campaign is empowering, artsy, horny and iconic, and it arrived at exactly the right moment.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Calvin Klein Summer 2026 Campaign" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1171634445?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963" width="850" height="478" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-short">The Short </h2>



<p>The main viral spot is a 72-second film of Johnson casually moving around a sun-drenched midcentury home in Topanga Canyon, California. She reads a movie script on the couch in black underwear. She dances topless around her bedroom in baggy 90s jeans. She opens the fridge, grabs two pomegranates, holds them over her chest for exactly one second, and hip-bumps the door shut with a grin. She plays pool in stilettos. She stretches out poolside with a book. She ends up topless on a grand piano.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Dakota Johnson in Calvin Klein | Spring 2026 Campaign" width="850" height="478" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pHetI7RoWCw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>







<p>The whole thing plays to &#8220;Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress&#8221; by The Hollies, the 1972 classic rock hit, with a playful voicemail from Johnson layered on top. The campaign is directed by Gordon von Steiner and shot entirely in natural light with minimal editing. It&#8217;s styled to feel like you accidentally walked into her house on a Tuesday.</p>



<p>It closes with the line: &#8220;Do you have your Calvins on?&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-homage">The Homage</h2>



<p>That closing line is not accidental. In February, Dakota sat front-row at Calvin Klein&#8217;s Fall 2026 NYFW show directly next to Brooke Shields, widely read as a passing of the torch before this campaign dropped. Shields&#8217; 1980 campaign, where a 15-year-old appeared in CK jeans with the tagline &#8220;Nothing comes between me and my Calvins,&#8221; is the most iconic thing the brand has ever done. The new tagline is a deliberate echo, same cheeky energy, updated for 2026, turned into a question aimed directly at the viewer.</p>



<p>Harper&#8217;s Bazaar ran the headline: &#8220;Nothing comes between Dakota Johnson and her Calvins&#8230;except more Calvin Klein.&#8221;</p>



<p>The visual language carries the same weight. Dakota topless on a grand piano in baggy jeans is a direct descendant of the brand&#8217;s 90s underwear campaigns, celebrity stripped to almost nothing, natural light, intimate domestic setting, completely unbothered. The formula is the same. The energy is updated.</p>



<p>Dakota&#8217;s own quote from the press release ties it together: &#8220;Calvin Klein jeans and underwear have a timeless quality that makes everything feel right the moment you put them on. I love that this campaign celebrates being comfortable, free and sexy on your own terms.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-products">The Products</h2>



<p>At the center of the campaign are two things Calvin Klein has always been built on. The new Ultralight underwear line, engineered for barely-there support and second-skin comfort with spacer cup technology, and a collection of 90s denim silhouettes including the Archive High Rise Slim Jean, the Relaxed Trucker, and the Baggy Jean. Underwear and jeans. The two things the brand made iconic.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-carolyn-bessette-kennedy-moment">The Carolyn Bessette Kennedy Moment</h2>



<p>On March 5, Bloomberg published a piece noting that <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-05/-love-story-elevates-calvin-klein-but-pvh-owned-brand-fails-to-capitalize">Calvin Klein was missing a major opportunity</a>. The FX series Love Story had driven Google searches for &#8220;Calvin Klein 90s&#8221; up 850%. Customers were walking into the SoHo flagship looking for the sleek minimalist aesthetic that made the brand iconic and leaving empty handed.</p>



<p>Four days later this campaign dropped. Calvin Klein didn&#8217;t miss the moment. They just needed four more days.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>During my freshman year of college my Intro to Psych professor quoted a journal she was reading that stated,</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="has-sm-heading-font-size">Our deepest desire and our deepest fear are one in the same. We want to be fully known and fully loved. But see, our fear tells us that in order to be fully loved, we cannot be fully known, and in order to be fully known, we must risk ever being loved. So we walk a delicate line of compromise.</p>
</blockquote>



<p>I was seated somewhere in the middle row, when her words reached my heart and something strong filled my chest and overflowed out of me as I started tearing up quietly in my dorm room later that day, thinking about what she had spoken.</p>



<p class="has-sm-heading-font-size">I have grown up in church for a long time and my mom has been an amazing example of a believer in my life.</p>



<p>We never had much growing up, but we always made it work. My mom didn’t just talk about trusting Jesus, she walked it out. I watched my mom pray for provision, for protection, for us. I would hear her every morning around 5am crying out to Jesus. She would sing songs of worship. She would pray for every member of my family with authenticity, every person she encountered, every time disaster struck any part of the world. My mom is the kindest woman I know, and the most dedicated prayer warrior I have ever seen. She demonstrated a life that seemed so hard for me to relate to growing up, but because it was so honest…it inspired me anyway.</p>

<p>I went to church camps, retreats, vacation bible school, Christian concerts, you name it…I went. Sometimes, while I was away, I would have these spiritual encounters and I knew that I knew that it was Jesus. But going to a few retreats, attending church regularly, witnessing my mother pray and live the way she does, did not make me love Jesus. They just proved to me that it was real. I knew that I was more than just a body. I knew that I was Spirit. I had heard the Gospel in every variation I could think of.</p>



<p class="has-sm-heading-font-size">But that is not why I fell in love with Jesus (though they did teach me how to show him how I love him).</p>



<p><strong>I fell in love with Jesus at rock bottom.</strong></p>



<p>I fell in love with Jesus while I was in the heart of my depression, my anxiety, my pornography addiction, my anger issues and my self-loathing. It was there that I first experienced my own truth for myself. I am not a great person. Some people who meet me are under the impression that I am and that life has always been easy for me. But no kid likes being poor. No kid likes feeling ugly or weird or unwanted. No kid likes being labeled ‘that immigrant’.</p>



<p class="has-sm-heading-font-size">It’s weird what sticks with us.<br>I had a lot of anger in my heart, a lot of embarrassment and shame inside of me.</p>



<p>Then my two friends died in high school a year apart from each other. They were such great people and I could not wrap my head around it. My head hurt, my heart hurt. I didn’t know how to pray pretty. &nbsp;I didn’t know how to dress up for church. I didn’t know how to act like I was okay.</p>

<p>Then one morning, I found a scripture without really trying. It wasn’t trying to read it, but it kind of just drew me in. It was Ezekiel 16:6</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!”,</p>
</blockquote>



<p>This spoke to me. Jesus was not turned off by the gruesome image of me “in my own blood” (well, at the time, I was cutting myself so it was very literal to me). He was not disgusted by me. I started thumbing through more Scriptures and I saw it then. Plain as day, Jesus knew me. He knows me, fully. There is nothing hidden in his light.</p>



<p class="has-sm-heading-font-size">When I saw that he was not running from me,&nbsp;<em>I started running to him</em>.</p>



<p>When I saw that he was not afraid of me, ashamed of me, upset with me, tired of me, or whatever else I feared. When I saw that he was willing to do whatever to bring me back, I took a chance. I sat up in my bed in the middle of the night, a sobbing mess, and I shakily asked Jesus to come into my heart for real. I remember saying, “I don’t know what you could do with me, I’m not much. I haven’t been kind, but I promise I will try. If your love is like it’s written here, I want you.”</p>



<p>My life has been different since the day I started for real loving Jesus. Not because I started being kind, loving, bubbly, and/or selfless. It was because I started to understand that his grace is sufficient. I started to see that Jesus loves me at every point and beyond that, He is able to speak to me and my situation at its worse and literally transform the whole thing. I saw that he could make a dead person like me live again.</p>



<p class="has-sm-heading-font-size">I love Jesus&nbsp;because he loved me first. Because I love him, I have been and am continuing to learn how to love people in my life differently.</p>

<p>I am learning how to honor my authority, learning how to go above and beyond, learning not to derive my value from what I do, I am learning who I am and how to see the value in that, I am learning how to be gracious with people in my life when I encounter their ‘bad’ and to have grace for myself when I (inevitably) fail again. I have learned that none of us are perfect, but that Jesus isn’t just looking for a fair exchange or perfect people. I see now that he wants my filthy rags as they are, and that he wants to give me a life.</p>
