In my place of longing, loneliness and love, I have discovered that this, a revolutionary theory of happiness as I dubbed it, is absolutely necessary...you must work in order to reside in your happiness, joy, bliss and fulfillment by any means necessary. (and my any means, I am including therapy, time in nature, time away from people, time submerged in your art, doing yoga eating healthy foods, watching comedies and seeking your truest highest nature)

Guide to loving your body:1. Get naked and take a good long look at your body. Trace your stretch marks, feel your hip bones poking out, place your hand over your tummy and take a fistful of yourself in. Appreciate your scars and pimples, your uneven,large,or nonexistent breasts. Take pride in your un/shaven, un/cut, fantastically odd private bits. Hold up a mirror to yourself and study your body. Love it.
2. Be Ugly, reclaim words that are used to put you down and shut you up and scream right back at these fascist beauty standard reinforcing scumbags. Give them the finger and tell them to kiss your fat/skinny/somewhere in between ass ‘cause you ain’t got time to waste with their body hating bullshit. and remember, you don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Validate yourself by accepting yourself.
3. Wear clothes that don’t fit, that are too big or too small and show all your “problem areas” that cosmo insists you hide and walk down the street like the fucking fabulous queen you are. Sashay the hate away.
4. Do what YOU want with YOUR body. Shave or don’t, wear makeup or don’t, whatever choice you make is yours to make, and anyone who shames you for your decision can keep it moving. This also means respecting the choices of others, even if they differ from your own.
5. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people. Rid of the toxic bullshit in your life if possible, and immerse yourself in a community that embraces body positivity and diversity.

Humans punish themselves endlessly for not being what they believe they should be. They become very self-abusive, and they use other people to abuse themselves as well.

Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn’t allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right.

Bobby Womack is Back!!!!!!!!!!! →
Link to interveiw with Bobby Womack, American Soul Legend! He’s coming back with an album on June 12th courtesy of The Gorrillaz. I’m elated about this but also a bit annoyed that he had to go all the way across the pond to get some respect and work again.
