"And you find some way to survive And you find out you don't have to be happy at all, To be happy you're alive." -Next To Normal; Light A friend once said these words to me during one of the hardest times in my life and it literally made all the difference. I've never actually thanked them for that, but it's most definitely why I'm here today. Shoutout to @robynangela at SLC Ink for doing this piece for me yesterday! I absolutely love it! ❤ #nexttonormal #slcink #newink

Gonna be super real for a bit: Five years ago, I was assaulted and have since spent time figuring out what to call myself. There is no word for the in between of victim and survivor, but I believe there to be forgiveness that comes somewhere along the way that brings peace with either term. I'm good at forgiving others, but not myself. This is me, remembering to forgive myself for the things that happen beyond my control. It may be a small piece of the bigger picture but I'm not complete without it. Monday, Kate spoke a truth so deep I needed to take time to really process and allow myself to feel. She watched me bawl and I feel honestly so blessed to have such a talented person who speaks the truth, even when it hurts in my life. I'm glad to say that today we started to forgive ourselves and will soon be better people because of it. Here's to reclaiming what's always been ours. Here's to a new best day. I love you, Kate, even when you make me cry. ❤ #slcink #thisishealing

The start of a sleeve on an amazing woman ❤️. This isn't my usual process to tattoo one portion without having most of the sleeve committed to skin already but oh well. Thank for looking 🙏🏼🙏🏼 #rosetattoo #rose #jaredpreslar #luckybambootattoo #girlswithtattoos #utahtattoo #slcink #fusiontattooink #cheyennepen #cheyennetattooequipment (at Lucky Bamboo Tattoo)
