Life is too short for us not to know each other.

Contemplating getting my childhood imaginary friends tattooed above my current “Keep Moving Forward” tattoo (have more empty space available than I planned) and they all march forward on my rib cage. They were Raha, the lion, Inaya the black panther, and Jahi the wolf. I was inspired to give them names in Swahili, I believe from The Jungle Book.
Raha means entertainment, Inaya means guidance, and Jahi means dignity, or at least, that’s what I thought. Now that I’m older, I should probably look that up, because I have no memory of how I figured that out, haha!
Which design do you prefer, top or bottom?
I like myself a lot and I’m very independent so I don’t find it very difficult at all.
I find romance in my life through art and poetry and daydreaming, romance doesn’t require someone else necessarily, just a feeling of excitement and mystery and love. I love a lot, I love life and I’m pretty sure life loves me back. I’m good.
THANK YOU!
I’m always dying to dye it red again, but all my friends are extremely against it because they like my natural black. I like it too, but I get bored! Haha! Playing with my look is so fun for me, but the hair damage is something I should consider. My hair still hasn’t fully recovered from the first time (in one year I went from Koolaid Red, to Fire Red, to Auburn, to Brown, to Blonde, to Brown again and then finally back to black).
Annie through the years!
DREW: Ellen has such a beautiful body, and I personally battled with my own body image for years. I used to tell myself, You can’t wear anything sleeveless or strapless. And all of a sudden I was like, What if I just didn’t send such negative messages to my brain and said, wear it and enjoy it? And now I’m more comfortable in clothes than ever.
ELLEN: That openness. It’s so sexy.
DREW: She was in her freaking bra with an open jacket and hot-pink shorts, skating around the rink with red lips and—
ELLEN: I was having a really good time.
DREW: And she was sexy as a mother—a feral creature. It was great. And it’s so screwed up for girls to think, Oh, because I don’t have that cookie-cutter model body, it must mean I don’t have the right body shape. And I love model bodies, but I just want women to embrace several body shapes. That’s the thing I love about derby. It’s really welcoming.

Prices went up for my prospective England travels
So I supposed I’ll have to save for a year in advance if I want to go there.
Disappointing :/
Guess I’m going to post-pone til next year. California will be tricky too, I’d like to go to VidCon this year, money allowing. I need to get myself a second job as soon as possible.
Crossing my fingers for a regularly scheduled baby-sitting job, like an afternoon nanny, that way while the kids are doing hw, showering, etc, I may have some time to write.
Oh, right! Need to mention that, I am currently working on two books, both fiction, and then a third to come afterwards which will be a non-fiction piece about my experience with body image and how I came to find body peace.
This gif…
Is so stupid I can’t believe someone actually decided to do this. Nudity isn’t something that’s meant to be sexualized all the time. Being offended by your own anatomy is so heinous it blows my mind. And actually, I think the people who take nudes or whatever, they aren’t sluts, they aren’t whatever disgusting slur you want to throw at them, they’re comfortable with themselves. That’s all the fucking are. And to do that, they obviously have to respect themselves and know that they’re a beautiful person no matter what, so this gif just needs to be removed from everything.
I suggest you watch this video if you haven’t already!
Reblogged for the millionth time. I just love her and love this and all the truth in it.
Okay, so I wasn’t able to recover all my 2011 videos (and none from 2010) but here are some highlights from last year!
My original youtube channel was hacked and deleted so I had to start anew.
Remember to subscribe to my NEW channel! http://youtube.com/theannieelainey
Vlogging will consist of the usual, positive body image and pretty much anything I can think of and maybe some music here and there.
