Finished up this piece on Tara of an American kestrel, English roses and wild roses. Black healed, color in bird healed, color in botanicals fresh. Thanks so much, lady! 

We met at the tattoo convention in Nantes, France but we both live here! How about that for serendipity. So excited to complete this one.

In the moment of despair I tell myself He’s not a bad guy, he’s not a bad guy, he’s not a bad guy As if he is worth loving for But in the slight moment of sanity, an echoes slipped in, it screams: “But darling, if you keep going back to him, that will make you the bad guy.” In the end it was this: The pain is unnecessary The growth / deadly boost / or anything it is I call to make myself feel better;— I just shouldn’t have let you ruin me like this I just shouldn’t have mistaken something this poisonous as love

You said my skin was like a night-sky that could hold all of the stars, so I stopped stripping away my personality– until you’re willing to accept who you are and understand the parts of you that are unique, you’ll never be happy. It’s a slow burn. It’s a slow death. I won’t die today, but when I do some day– I’ll always remember the way that you treated my words. And how they’ll never tell our stories properly from tattoos to painkillers you made loving the loneliest parts of who I am the best days.

I don’t think existence wants you to be serious. I have not seen a serious tree. I have not seen a serious bird. I have not seen a serious sunrise. I have not seen a serious starry night. It seems they are all laughing in their own ways, dancing in their own ways. We may not understand it, but there is a subtle feeling that the whole existence is a celebration.

  • Bath or shower items (bath bombs etc)
  • Scented candles
  • safety plan printable cards
  • Bubble wand
  • Ear plugs
  • Body lotions
  • Pictures of loved ones and/or pets
  • Herbal tea
  • Stress ball
  • Jigsaw puzzles
  • Relaxation or meditation exercises or audios  
  • Old birthday cards
  • Friendship bracelets or recovery bracelets
  • scented handkerchiefs
  • glitter jars
  • favorite t-shirt
  • encouraging notes/letters
  • essential oils
  • money for ice cream
  • consider keeping a small food comfort box in your refrigerator/freezer
  • Poofy sweater 
  • List of reasons to stay alive 
  • List of things you like about yourself 
  • Rubber bands 
  • Stickers 
  • Bubble wrap 
  • Worry Stone 
  • Rosary or beaded necklace
  • Crayons and a coloring book/printed coloring pages

I know that when you’re around a lot of mentally ill people / in an environment where mental health isn’t cared for, you kind of forget what’s normal mentally. 

-It’s not normal to feel empty every day. 

-It’s not normal to wonder what people would do if you comitted suicide.

-It’s not normal to feel anxiety at social activities. 

-It’s not normal to hate your body. 

-It’s not normal to have a plan to commit suicide.

-It’s not normal to feel immense anger, hatred towards someone or something. 

-It’s not normal to harm yourself, whether by weapons or putting yourself in dangerous. 

-It’s not normal to be exhausted 24/7.

-It’s not normal to starve yourself or want to. 

Sometimes what’s normal to you, isn’t normal to others. Please seek help.
