I have been shy and riddled with anxiety my whole life, one day I decided I wanted to be the cool girl that you see in the movies! I am a force of unrealized potential. I became that cool girl I saw in the movies, I looked in the mirror one day and absolutely loved who I saw! My most recent tattoo is a biker chick sitting backwards on a motorcycle! Doesn't get much cooler than that!
If your ink could speak, what would it say?When I was 17 I got into a weightlifting accident that changed the course of my life. I didn't know it at the time, but my life as I knew it was over. I had to give up my passion for fashion design, I had to give up powerlifting, and pretty much everything that made me feel whole. My tattoos are a representation of the grueling 12 years of struggling and failing, giving up and getting back up, they represent resilience and determination.
What would you do with the $25,000?I want to go back to school and get my degrees. I want to turn my life into something I can truly be proud of, the life that I deserve and fought so hard for. A life I never thought I could have in this lifetime.
