Iconic rapper Missy Elliott decided to spread some positivity on Twitter, and everyone was here for it.

"You may be feeling a lil depressed because everything you been trying to do is taking so long to happen… Don’t give up on your IDEAS or your VISION just KEEP WORKING & when the TIME IS RIGHT everything will ALIGN up for you & you will be HAPPY you didn’t Give up," the "Work It" rapper wrote.
