On Innocence...



What is innocence? People have different ideas on what is considered innocent. "Children are innocent", some say. "Animals are innocent", some say. My personal favorite in the relem of difference is "You are only innocent if you are not guilty."

According to that logic, you are only innocent if you haven't done anything bad. In which case, no person could be innocent. One may only be innocent in a situation. I, personally, do not think that is the case. Here are some other ideas on what people consider innocent:
(all from WeHeartIt)




I, personally believe with the last two the most. I believe that innocence is a state of mind that all princesses once had in them, and that all princesses should rediscover. Being innocent is a state of being pure and unbothered. A time where the world could be on fire and you wouldn't notice. There is a time, place, or thing in every princess's life that will make her innocent- even if she doesn't know it. For a lot of us, it's something in nature. For me, it's being in the woods and finding wildflowers with someone close to me. Being in the ocean or lakes or ponds and chasing the little fish that dash around. Every girl deserves to feel innocent and calm and pure- it just takes a bit of time.

Being innocent can also refer to acting a bit naive and playful, like a child. According to my best friend, I am innocent around certain people and at certain times. I completely understand what she means by this. When I am innocent, I soften my voice and smile more. I get a little playful and bouncy- acting like there's nothing wrong with the world. When I feel innocent, I find it so much easier to laugh and go stressless for a while. Some people mistake it for flirting, when it certainly is not.


Princess Challenge #1

Find your sense of innocence. It doesn't matter if it lies in a place, a person, or a thing- just find and embrace your sense of innocence.

Wimsical Wednesday: "Kimagure Princess"



I would like to start a weekly post here on PLaC! It's called "Wimsical Wednesday"- and here's how it works.
Every week I will cover a song (English, Japanese, maybe another language too!) that I would like to share with my readers. I'll give some explanation- but here's the twist-

I won't edit it at all, and it will be done in one take.

Meaning, what you all hear is my voice- no electronic enhancement- and if I make mistakes, I won't edit over them or fix them! So, that much being said, here's this week's song: "Kimagure Princess" by Morning Musume!

Meaning:

I chose to do this song because it is basically my theme song! I love it a lot and I feel like I can relate to it very much- as can many of you, I'm sure! Here are the English lyrics:

"That moody beautiful girl
is a princess from somewhere.
For some reason she's irritated
first thing in the morning.

She's up in a castle
unable to meet her prince.
She can't flirt or anything,
what a life for a princess.

Today she'll console her lonely heart
with sweet ice cream again
Then fool herself with a sweet movie tomorrow morning,
but another lonely Monday morning will come.

Like a butterfly with beautiful flapping wings
She's a sexy princess with an alluring butt
Isn't it nice? A little bit of an erotic smile

It's okay to be selfish, right?
She's a sexy princess with nude colored lips
Isn't it nice, how they look a little wet?
She's a moody princess.

That moody beautiful girl
is a princess with worries.
Late at night
she starts sobbing.

When her Romeo was around,
she had fun every day
with her one-sided love.
Everything was rose-colored.

With her frozen heart,
she's shopping on the net again today.
She's buying fancy clothes
even though she has no plans.
She just gets more upset when she sees the bill.

Like a beautiful shining star
She's a sexy princess with alluring breasts
Isn't it nice? A little bit of an erotic smile

It's okay to be selfish, right?
She's a sexy princess who's fingers
you can become entwined in.
Isn't it nice, how she seems a little aggressive?
She's a moody princess.

Like a butterfly with beautiful flapping wings
She's a sexy princess with an alluring butt
Isn't it nice? A little bit of an erotic smile

Like a beautiful shining star
She's a sexy princess with alluring breasts
Isn't it nice, how her tears are a little erotic?

It's okay to be selfish, right?
She's a sexy princess who's fingers
you can become entwined in.
Isn't it nice, how she seems a little aggressive?
She's a moody princess."

Welcome!

So, hello everyone! This is Princess Addie here. I've moved from my livejournal, http://www.petite-berri.livejournal.com , as I was getting a little tired of having very little customization options. So, here I am now, and I will hopefully be writing much, much more often, with a little perseverance.
