Battles

My housemate has a black lab (I think I told you this a while ago), she has SO much energy. 😂

Oh, I honestly didn't notice, and I don't think it stands out. We can remove it if you're uncomfortable? But I think it's okay. @MissGremlin ❤️

i have to hop off now, take care lovelies!! so nice to Casper before i head off 💙

good night all!! @AuntGlow @MissGremlin @NightFury

Good night @rav3n

@rav3n thankyou for the company.

Night night ❤️

@AuntGlow Casper has energy when he wants to 😂. So when i take him to the shops he's more than happy to walk around in the shops as soon as it comes time to leaving he just stops and freezes and waits for me to pick him up to carry him out to the car 😂. He was doing zoomies around the house earlier which was entertaining, he doesn't have the best stopping skills so kind of slides into things 😂.

I'll leave it there as long as noone notices it cos I don't want to cause any trouble. Those scars are from a very dark time in my life and whilst I don't like them it's also a reminder that I survived despite everything that was thrown at me. I'm hoping one day to get a tattoo over them not to cover them up as such but more to include them in a design. But it's been 3 years since they have been healed and they still aren't safe enough to tattoo over so I'm not sure if I will ever get that chance. (Also please remove this if it's not allowed to be talked about).

Awww, bless!! @MissGremlin

I can see the complexity and meaning behind your scars, and I thank you for sharing that with me. What tattoo would you get, when the time is right? ❤️

@AuntGlow I'm not sure, I just want something that sort of draws the attention away from them but still shows the battle scars so to speak. I have someone i know that designs tattoos and I spoke to her about it and she would love to create something for me as she works with bright colours and that's what I want. I'm really hoping one day i can get it done but for now I try to hide them as much as I can.

@MissGremlin I have tattoos. Seven of them, if I remember rightly. My tattoos tell some of my story. Like...I have a tattoo for a friend that I lost in a car accident. The accident, witnessing what happened, losing my friendship group in the process and the grief broke me, but it's also tattooed on my calf to remember. I have script on my arm that reads..."courage, dear heart" from the Chronicles of Narnia, to always remind me to have courage in the dark times. I have a dream catcher on my back because I've always had trouble sleeping, always had bad dreams. For me, the art that I choose has to have meaning, to tell my story.

My skin has always been an issue for me, so my first tattoo was also me trying to reclaim something that felt very much out of my control.

@AuntGlow

That would be such a beautiful way to honour your experiences, growth, and courage. I can imagine it would be rather empowering too? @MissGremlin ❤️

I love the notion of reclaiming something that was once out of your control. These tattoos sound so meaningful and healing, thank you for sharing them with us. @NightFury 🥰
