It took me a week to decide about this, as most of you all know, I am really afraid of needles thus getting inked is out of my bucket list.  But as the saying goes; it takes pain to go through and survive the deepest pain as well.  Out of the ordinary I have been crowded with emotional tribulations that has been hurting me so much.  This pain deep inside my heart is not about love, life or anything, but this is even deeper, this is the kind of pain that is lying beneath the roots of being me.

After browsing through a lot of tattoo sites, trying to think of the best designs.  While contemplating on having a little butterfly or a heart shaped love in my wrist.  Or maybe the word “TRUST”, it took me a week to decide and during the last two days before I got inked, I made a final decision.  I wanted to put TRUST, because I believe I have super deep trust issues and until now I am still having problems with this.  It is still hard for me to TRUST because I still have this pain inside my heart, this bitterness and rage that is waiting to explode at the right time.

Yet the day before I decided to get inked, I saw a design that really took my attention, I forgot about TRUST, so I had to search for handwritten designs and just think of a perfect line, phrase or word to put.  But then something happened, a random phrase came into my mind and there it happened.  Putting the phrase ” Life is Sweet “ describes me very well, this phrase has something to do with  my life, my positivity in things and how I am grateful for this wonderful life.

Indeed LIFE IS SWEET, I would like to thank my cousin for writing down these phrase and getting the perfect stroke for the letter S that looks like an infinite sign.  I am happy I was able to survive this session and yes nothing, nothing can take this SWEET LIFE from me.
