Honestly I almost took my own life from self harming in December 2024 after a horrible break up. So I self tattooed a semi colon on my wrist.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?The geisha, botched hello kitty and nihon kanji would speak on behalf of my love of Japan and Japanese culture and language. The Cherokee letters and wolf paws are dear to me because my last name is Cherokee and my clan is wolf. The semi colon and the writing on my knee is from my severe mental health struggles is C-PTSD. There is not enough room on here to give more explanation but it's the short version.
What would you do with the $25,000?Honestly I'd pay off my car. Pay off debt. Use it to pay for education like vet tech, hair dresser, tattoo apprentice, something like that. I've been considering something different as far as what I want to do with my self. I'm on SSI for being disabled before the age of 18 due to severe C-PTSD, it's not much to live on, so I've had part time work here and there and had to quit when I was heavily struggling mentally. But I'm more stable now than I have ever been so I want to try something new.
