My life has been changing lately. I feel it within myself and see it in how I look. I've finally embraced my appearance and have been so much happier in these past few weeks. I've stopped convincing myself that I look "all right" and not "ugly." I can feel it from my core. This subject matter is one of the things you can't convince yourself of until you truly believe it.
My style has taken a turn since I've come to full acceptance of what I was born with. I wear my make-up differently and dress less sloppily. I am taking care of myself. Once I accepted and embraced myself, I've realized that I must take care of myself because 1) I only live once (duh!) and 2) I will never, ever, ever, everrrrr be or look this young again. Time passes by too quickly for me to take care of myself "later." By that time, I'd have lost this youthfulness. I can't let my youth slip between my fingers when I only get to be this young once. We all need to take care of ourselves so others don't need to.
By means of taking care of myself, I am not turning into a narcissistic and vain 20 year-old. Rather, I am playing up what I've got to the best I can make it.
I ♡ my physical form.
Do you?
Working it out,
Love

☀Spring 2010☀
This Spring has ought to be my most amazing Spring ever. I'm blossoming with the season and it couldn't be any better! I love coincidences like this (Spring season= blossom season, growth, birth; me= feeling the same way)... and seeing and feeling everything fit and work together.
I am sooooo happy right now. I don't want this to be temporary!
Through all of this, feeling the change scares me. I'm not used to it, but it'll lead to better, so I've got to get on it.
Workin' it out,
Happy

Inked
My Lotus flowers are almost two weeks old, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome.
I love tattoos, especially when it has meaning and significance. I really don't understand some of what I've seen, but their bodies aren't mine, so it's not my concern.
I breezed through an article I found on yahoo about people's reactions and thoughts towards this art form. I never felt so passionately aggravated by reading those people's comments!! especially when there are those who say that getting tattoos is a "trend" and we should be prepared to bleat with the rest of the crowd. "To be a LEADER and NOT a follower." How EXACTLY does that apply here? Tattooing dates 5,000 years back, so what is it that you want to say? That you're an idiot? It's the 21st century, of course the purpose and reasoning of getting tattoos have evolved, but it's not a TREND that came into place through thin air.
It's understandable that you don't like tattoos but don't be close-minded. Everyone who has gotten a tattoo or multiple tattoos do not get them for the mere SAKE OF BEING "IN THE TREND." That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard. If someone got it done for this purpose, so be it. He/she'll deal with whatever problem arises. In the end, it's his/her personal problem and no one else's, so to those condemning the general crowd of inked people, STOP BEING SO SHALLOW. Some tattoos consist of importance and meaning, and simply do not serve a single purpose of being "pretty" body decor. I became more and more irritated when commenters were describing women with tattoos as "whores, sluts, and white trash." Really? Really? Stop generalizing. I do admit that I've seen some tacky tattoos, but stop with the ridicule! It's not your body to worry about, so refrain from being an asshole.
Do look beyond the surface.
