Demi Lovato’s Tattoos ‘Stay Strong’

I was just browsing a gossip site when I came across pictures of Demi Lovato’s new wrist tattoos again and it hit me. Everyone has seen the pics of the scars on Demi’s wrist from her cutting and I believe these tattoos are there for her to remind herself to stay strong in a time of weakness. To prevent her from self harm. I believe these tattoos aren’t just for the appearance, but help serve as a reminder of all that Demi has to be thankful for. I admire her so much, especially during this difficult time she is having.

Forgive and Forgo

I think I'm going to officially move to Tumblr. It depends.

My favorite part about life is when I am struggling with something that seems so difficult and I read something so simple that makes the difficult thing easy to get over.

Case in point: forgiveness/ being unhappy with something from the past

I have been struggling with moving on from something that happened. Then a couple of hours ago, a schoolmate posted this status on Facebook: “forgiveness is the release of all hope for a better past.”

And I go, HELLO. TRUE. There is nothing I can change about the past. But dwelling will only make my present an unhappy one.

So here’s to letting go. Keshia Cole said it best y’all.

I read something

I read something. While highly upset for no, but yet so, good reason, I read something. Something so meaningful, something so thoughtful. Something written by someone in love. Someone full of love. The love for a friend. It read:

i can look around a room and find rest if i know you are there with me. because you understand.

And that just made my heart melt. It made me cry. To feel the warmth, the hear the laughter, to see the smile of a friend, by its true definition, is all that is right with the world. So here i celebrate the love of a friend.

Skin

So recently I was talking about Prom dresses and saying how much I love dresses with low backs. Actually, I said "I love having my back out." To which this girl responded, "What else do you love having out?"

Let's ignore her rep for having things "out," and focus on the bigger issue:skin. So many people today are so afraid of showing skin. Short shorts, skirts, and dresses are looked down upon. Why? If someone is calling me a skank for showing my beautiful brown skin, move on with your life. If a teenage boy is getting because of the skin 6 inches above my knee or the smoothness of my back, you've got a problem. Seriously.

At the ages 14-18, I think we've all seen every body part necessary and if my clothes aren't showing off my NIPPLE, VAGINA, or BUTT, I think I'll do fine.


No, I'm not going to be walking around with barely there clothing. But this summer, I am not going to fear wearing cute little skirts, showing off my legs and stop wearing Bermuda shorts!

All hail the beauty of our skin. All hail the beauty of our bodies!
