I gave birth to my daughter at only 20 years old; I became a stranger in a body I had already hated. A body that was supposed to feel like my home and it didn’t. One thing that has always made any and every part of my body feel more homely is the decorations AKA my tattoos. I got both sides of my hips/stomach done because they were both things I was now unfamiliar with at this point, rather larger. I got a flower on either end, and this was because flowers grow just as my hips and baby had
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Tons of different stories behind each tattoo, really it would tell me that while my body is and always has been enough that it’s thankful to be part of the journey and the road being paved to full self love. I feel like each tattoo I’ve ever gotten has been a brick down on that road and I really love the way it makes me feel.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would be able to survive at this point. I’m a single mom to my daughter and I’m working 3 jobs just to make it, I would be able to pay off some debt and treat her to something nice. I would love to get her into another sport as funding only covers one. I would love to give my parents some or treat them to a trip, as they are major helps in my life and I feel like they never get time to themselves. And maybe just maybe, I’d be able to quit one job for a bit.
