My most recent tattoo is of a biblically described angel. My parents were recently in a house fire (which was a total loss) and they are lucky to be alive. In my eyes it’s because they had a guardian angel.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?My ink would tell a story of loss, perseverance and vibrant beauty. To never take a moment for granted. The fact that there is meaning in everything. Loss forces us to endure, to grow, become strong, learn and appreciate life and all it offers, despite its tragedy.
What would you do with the $25,000?As recent economic and real estate chaos has taken a large toll, getting a house has become as hard as ever. I would put it towards getting a house. It’s one of my biggest aspirations.
