I was an ink virgin for thirty years. I have a single unsatisfactory tattoo. It's a reminder to myself. Per Ardua. Through Adversity.

I have gone through and been through many difficulties in life and I wanted something to remind me that I've survived this far with the obstacles I've faced. It was supposed to originally just be script writing but failed home tattoos and cover ups have prevented me from having something that is significantly meaningful to me, be readable.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?It would say you are a survivor. It would say you are still here. And I can make it one day at a time. As a nuerodivergent individual, I am disabled, but I am capable.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off some debt, buy a new or used car, and goto school for classes on mental health and peer partnership. I want to use my lived experience to help other like minded individuals.
