Love Yourself the Way Drake Loves the Toronto Raptors Mascot

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been having a pretty hard week; a pretty hard month, if we’re being honest, and let’s be real, this entire year has been uniquely challenging in ways I never anticipated. In conversations with my friends, I feel like it’s pretty clear that we’re all doing really well professionally and personally, but every year the stakes get a little higher, the lows a little lower, and I think we all struggle with finding the time to treat ourselves properly, self-care being the first thing to go as soon as something else comes knocking on our life’s door.

Now that it’s November, I urge you all to do the things we need to do to stay positive, productive, and peaceful, even when it’s so dark and cold: I urge you to really, truly think about what makes you as happy as hugging the Toronto Raptors mascot makes Drake happy. I implore you to find that big plushy anthropomorphized symbol of teamwork and sportsmanship and hold on tight. You deserve it, Hairpinners.
