INNOCENT Pleasures
Why are the things that make us happiest called 'guilty' pleasures? I'm tired of having weight on my shoulders for wanting to live my life the way I was meant to live it. I'm done with the guilt. Now introducing...the real me.

Ever heard of the cult of true womanhood? It explains why we lean into submission (some of us) still in these ‘modern’ times. Know your American Womens history… think twice before you allow someone to make you suppress your strength and power by telling you to ‘act like a lady’.
"It takes great deal of courage to see the world in all its tainted glory, and still learn to love it."

"The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others."

I have that rush I get when I make a major life-changing decision for me. Because doing what’s best for me is new to me, I’ve only gotten this feeling recently. It’s similar to how I felt when I shaved my head. A rewarding risk of which I’m glad to stand up and face the consequences. #finding contentment
