Tattooed Heart on my Sleeve

They say that tattoos are permanent.

Even tattoo removal, if you’ve “outgrown” your allure to it, won’t rid you of every trace of it’s existence.

⚠️ Proceed with caution. ⚠️

You know what else is permanently etched into your body? What else is never fully erased?

Scars.

⚠️Proceed with caution. ⚠️

A picture may say a thousand words, but there is so much more to tell… What is invisible to the naked eye still has a story to unveil.

My physical body is the vessel for my true being; my soul…

My true being is the vessel to my journey; my life’s purpose….

And my PAIN is the vessel to my ‘key to life,’ yet, will I open the right door?

Such a debilitating pain…

It’s existence has “scarred me for life,”

possessing such a powerful hold that at times has

viscously contained me…

Then, only through my acceptance of life’s challenges and the broadening perspective that brings,

viscously trained me…

shaped me into who I am today.

Even if scars are not easily visible, their existence does not cease.

So…I choose to turn my pain and heartache, the seemingly ugly scars I will forever carry, into my beautiful masterpiece…

My pain is my art, and I wish to share it with the world…

Dear Pain,

You’re the tattooed heart on my sleeve,

permanently leaving your mark on me that I proudly wear for all to see.

I choose to turn these ugly scars into something beautiful; my one of a kind masterpiece.

That’s my only sense of a reprieve.

What can you gain from your pain? Don’t let your suffering be all in vain.

Take what life gives you

and use it to give back to life,

but in a beautiful way.

You are a gift to the world.
