Both tattoos have meaning. the one on my wrist (Left) is a puzzle piece. My six year old brother suffers from mild to severe autism, and is often made fun of. I got this to show my support for him, and the community of autism. Autism really has opened my eyes to a whole new community of kind, well-natured people. I love the community, and that drives my thriving volunteer work. I encourage at your local schools, to volunteer, or sign up to help the special ed students with tutoring, or make them feel good by reading to them, or helping them do fun little projects.

The tattoo on my middle finger of my left hand (Right) is a four point triangle. This represents the power of life. There's always a point to living, and no matter how much you may want to give up, your time is not up, you still have life yet to be lived. I went through a path in my life that was really difficult. People around me were changing, friends became distant memories, and my mind fell silent to the wonders I thought I had for good. I was wrong. I was alone, or thought I was. I thought I had nobody to talk to, nobody to go to, and began to hurt myself, and inflicting pain on myself. This was a large mistake. It left scars, and blemishes in my skin, and painful scars in my heart. I knew I hurt people around me, and in a way, i felt good, as selfish as that sounds. I found that people cared about me, and even if they didn't show it, they really did want to ensure my safety! I was suicidal, and hurting. It is an impactful thing to simply ask someone how they're feeling, and what's on their mind.

Please, please, please, If you're having suicidal thoughts or self harming actions, contact a suicide hotline and talk to someone. It will make you feel better, I promise. If you need somebody to talk to, just let me know, I'm here! I care. If you think that nobody loves you, nobody cares, please remember, I care. I love you. I want you here, and I want you safe. Please dont hurt yourself.
