Ways To Make Your Soul Feel Happy


Image by LInda Strawberry

Use your mind powers. EFT, positive thinking, the law of attraction. You can literally create your reality with your mind! A happy reality makes for a happy soul.

Start having an awesome sex life. Live out your fantasies; don’t be shy! Tell your partner exactly what you want. Tell yourself exactly what you want. If you happen to be looking for a lover, I recommend finding a partner whose zodiac sign is sexually compatible with yours.

Find a passion. What do you love? What do you want to do every single day for the rest of your life? Find a passion by drawing from your talents, inspirations, and interests. Once you find it, base your life around it!

Challenge & scare yourself. Do something productive with your passion. Start a project. Be spontaneous. Surprise yourself. Set goals. Conduct experiments. Don’t play it safe. Follow your heart. Tune in to your intuition. Take all of your shiny, sparkling, grandiose ideas and make them a reality (with your mind powers, mayhaps!)

Live like Alice in Wonderland. Embrace your child-like qualities. Life is magical. Let awe and wonder overtake you. Don’t be afraid to think differently & question things! Be open to learning & new experiences.

Be kind to your body. Treat your body well and it will help your soul to follow suit! Exercise! There are so many ways to give your body a work-out: thoroughly clean your house, be a forest nymph and run around the woods dressed in fairy wings & garb, have an all-evening self-love session *wink* – just to name a few! Along with exericise, try your best to eat healthy things. It’s ok to treat yourself every now and again, though. Cupcakes are always good for the soul!

Notes to Self; #003

Hey little apple blossoms. How goes it? I am feeling ridiculously ultra-happy this evening and I ended up making this little ditty in Photoshop, which is actually almost too cute, even for me. I showed it to my friend and he said, “It’s so awesome and cute, it could make Hitler cry.” Haha! So I apologise in advance for the unnecessary abundance of cuteness.

Dear You


Hearts by Antigirl.

Dear You,

      Be confident today! Imagine how amazing life will be once you learn to love yourself entirely. There shalln’t be a trace of insecurity within your body and it will feel like summertime inside your soul. Colours will be brighter. Every moment will be made of awe & wonder. Bliss of another kind.

      Never be afraid to be your ridiculous, eccentric self. Radiating gorgeous imperfection; you are most beautiful when you forget who you’re supposed to be and you just exist. Don’t worry about what other people are doing; live your life any way you’d like. Don’t wonder if they think you’re weird; You are! And you’re lovely and misunderstood and brilliant. We all are.

      The same exact orbit; You and I are made of all the atoms in the universe. All interconnected; we shine the same as stars. Be confident today. Love who you are. You were made for this universe.

Peppermint Tea Party; Feb.18.2010




7am-ish. Tuesday. The sun wants to rise soon. The sky is violet from here. Windows & curtains & awning out yonder. Bird chirps and yawning. I love falling asleep to the sound of machine guns.


The Eighth. She was made of gnarls. Broken treebranches. Ugly birds would nest in her hair. Dirt. and dirt. and dirt. She contained miles and miles of these molecules. “I want to grow; I bloom these flowers that I never show to anyone. I want to grow.”


1:10am. Monday.There’s this woman that I’m going to become. I’d tell you, “I can take care of you.” Nymph princess with an old soul. This confident creature, smiling. I kind of love the way things are.


Date unknown. Sometimes I ridiculously and irrationally fear that I will somehow change overnight, as I sleep. That all of the darkest atoms and molecules and whatevers within me will accumulate. Take shape & form and create a presence within me. Overtake me. I’m terrified that I will wake up as a monster.
