“lover, all is forgiven.”
newest tattoo:). God’s been really speaking these words to me over the past few months. i know i’ve hurt a lot of people i cherish, and i’ve struggled with a lot of self-hatred, but i am redeemed in Christ, and that’s got to be the most humbling, beautiful thing i could ever experience.

my most recent tattoo:).
though my heart is prone to wander, He keeps my soul steady when everything spins out of control.
i don’t know who decided birthdays had corresponding stones & zodiacs & such, but apparently we all have special trees as well. this kind of excites me, because i have a huge thing for trees & all the symbolism they hold within their branches.
mine is the maple tree, signifying promise, uniqueness, & practicality. i look forward to new experiences in life, & i have the potential to become an extraordinary person by applying my energies in the right direction.
these all sound generally true, but then it mentions a healthy, balanced personality. not quite there i’m afraid ;).
i recently started a new tattoo piece that spans across my upper back & left arm (photographed above). it’s a cherry tree blossom, symbolic for death & rebirth & new awakenings — kind of perfect, right? then on my right shoulder i’m getting a sparrow representing God’s love for even the most insignificant of creatures. these are the two things that most vividly represent who i am & where i’m at. unfortunately, i’m currently at a loss of money, so the shading & coloring is on hold.
