Screenshot Saturday
My Timehop today showed me a screenshot that I saved a year ago today:
I saved it while sitting in the tattoo shop waiting for my third appointment on my blue flowers. I posted it to Facebook with commentary about how I was feeling awesome and that I kick ass and the tattoo proves it.
On that third appointment, the artist only did the outline of the rest of the flowers. It was the fourth and final appointment when he colored them in.
It seemed the perfect time to reflect on this saved screenshot from a year ago given that I am continuing my tattoo journey with another appointment on June 19th. It’s only for a touch up of my crocheted flowers. However, I will be bringing screesnhots of more crocheted flowers that I would like the artist to add to my arm to fill up some of the empty space. Totally Josh’s idea. He was looking across the dinner table at me last night and noticed that my arms aren’t symmetrical in the tattoo designs. I have a lot of blank space on the upper part of my right arm and some empty space near my wrist and on the underside of my forearm. My left arm doesn’t have that empty space. Going to get that filled up with his blessing, and surprisingly, with his ideas for where to place the new flowers.
Anyway, since it’s been one year since I started this tattoo obsession, it seems appropriate that I stop and evaluate if the sentiments in that screenshot still resonate with me.
Am I still a fucking awesome person? Yes.
Have I made it through even more shit? Yes. I quit yet another toxic job.
Am I still cute, smart, funny, nice, and intelligent? Yes.
Do I still absolutely kick ass. Yes. Yes, I do.
