I need you to love my alter ego that is displayed by the things my physical self posts on to the inter web of lies.

A mini project done on Lakota Identity with some fellow students at Oglala Lakota College.

Project conceived by Elaine Yellow Horse (second photo). Photographs/editing by me (doyoumisterjones). Additional help by Anna Takes Shield (last photo.)

Because I’ve seen other people expressing confusion about this, I figured I should attach my answer to this ask:

Wonderful information on Lakota hair and protocol. Thank you for sharing.

Had no idea about the hair. Good to know.

Toxic relationships

Toxic relationships disguise themselves as healthy ones. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when dealing with someone you may believe could be “toxic”:

1. Do they build you up or tear you down?

2.How do you feel about yourself after you’ve talked to this person?

3. Are they constantly giving “constructive criticism”?

4. How are their relationships with others? Do they treat others with…

Be the Light of the World

Quick thoughts.

If you are going to be a light in the world, go where light is needed. If you hang around other lights, that’s great but do they need you as much as the darker parts of the world?

How to be a light:

Smile at strangers. You never know whether or not they need a kind face to make their day.

When someone is rude, kill them with kindness.

Remind others how important they are to you.

The nostalgia craze

There is power in memories. I’m seeing more and more people my age (20 somethings) go nuts over anything related to their childhood. There’s a reason the 90’s style is coming back. i.e. chokers, velvet, spaghetti straps over a T-shirt, overalls.

Today I went to an F.Y.E. store looking for the Reptar (from the 90’s Rugrats show) candy bars that turn your tongue green.

Naturally, I was disappointed…

Before and Afters: Ashley

Ashley and I have known each other since middle school and I still consider her a great friend. We both had the same sort of style and went through depression and anxiety. She is now 22 years old, graduated from university, engaged to her boyfriend since middle school, and is applying to vet school! Here’s what she wanted to share:

“The phase that I went through as a teenager was somewhat of a…

The Freedom of Leaving Home

The Freedom of Leaving Home

YES. You’re just around the corner from making your own rules and making your own mistakes and it is SO EXCITING!

Whether you are going to college or you found a job that can fully support you. You’re almost there!

Here are the exciting things to look forward to:

Having you own space.

Decorate as little or as much as you want! Walk around naked whenever and wherever!

Eat whatever you want

The Cotreversial Higher Power

I do NOT intend to convert anyone into any religion. But here’s my personal story, if you feel like reading a long one.

The belief in a higher power has done many things for the human race. It has caused war. Fear. Confusion.

But it has also given peace, love, and the desire to do good unto others.

No one has proof of God(s). No one knows. They just have faith. And no one can tell you your…

The dating world

In high school, I fell in love easily. Or rather, I developed crushes way too easily.

You know the feeling. When you see someone in your class and decide they’re attractive. Then you observe their mannerisms. If you like how they act, everythingabout them entices you more. Then you hope they notice you. If they acknowledge your presence, your heart skips a beat and you laugh a little harder than…

Hosting an "express yourself" challenge on my website! Link in bio. This was me at 14. Who knows what I was trying to convey. But it made me happy! Express yourself no matter what people may think. #expressyourself #challenge #submit #aliaforteens #dork #14 #weird #isthisart #braces #teen

The Weird Challenge

Here’s my challenge to YOU! Express yourself in a photo, song, or dance. Send it to me at [email protected] and you may be featured in a post to show you off! The more expressive, the better!

When I was 13, I got this idea. I really wanted to paint scenery on the doors in my room. So I asked my parents and to my surprise, they said yes!

I asked for acrylic paints and went to work.

Not much…

My Achy Breaky Heart!

Long story short: do not abandon true friends. Be there during their life changes and they may return the favor. Your heart will never forgive you for letting them down. In middle school, I became …
