There exists a colorful bevy of emotions within the human self. However, one very special and unmistakable mood is that of “bad b*tch”. We all know it, and if you haven’t given in yet, she will make herself known very soon.Â
This mood consists of feelings such as: I want to wear chunky boots and not brush my hair; I want to look at nobody while walking down the street, and if I do I will make very intimidating eye contact; I want to leave eyeliner on overnight and then go out like that on purpose; most importantly, I want to pop in some headphones and find a playlist that perfectly suits and fuels my bad b*tch mood. Look no further, beautifully angry ladies.
