The healing process of tattoos SUCK. Imagine the worst sunburn you've ever had... times a hundred.
It's always burning, peeling, and itching. And it is sooo hard not to pick at it. haha. But the one thing Larry (he is the owner of Retribution, and was my boss.) taught me was how to take care of tattoos.
I consider this my first "Real" tattoo. It's the only one that I have that has some kind of personal meaning to me.It reminds me of stability. And it reminds me to not become my own anchor, and hold myself down - or to let anyone else hold me down.
The one on my shoulder reminds me of my mom, because she picked it out. that was my first tattoo.The one behind my ear reminds me of my friends, because we were all together at Karissa's when I got it done. that was my second tattoo. But that's why I love those two tatoos, they remind me of people that I love. And no matter where I go, or who I become, I'll always have a part of them with me.
Today is Shae's birthday. I've been thinking about her all day since I woke up. And one thing that her death has taught me was to not take my friends or family for granted. And how important it is to tell the ones who matter to you that you love them, because you never know when you might lose them, or when they might lose you.
I think about her a lot, and I still feel her around sometimes. At least, I like to think it's her instead of me just being crazy. I don't know what comes next after this life, but I am finally ready to start living mine. Letting go of people who've hurt me and don't appreciate me, working hard, and trying to be a good friend, daughter, and sister. I'm done wasting my time with the past! And I am looking forward to what the future will bring... no regrets. :)
