THANKFUL

When counting my blessing I have to be thankful for a 10 plus year relationship(?) I don't know what else to call it but in reality, a relationship takes both parties being invested, and this was clearly not the case. I was in such denial I could not and would not allow myself to see that I was being used, and abused mentally and
Emotionally abused. Played with then thrown away like so much trash. Then repeat.
FINALLY, I woke up and decided that talk was cheap and the words from that particular person didn't mean squat! Someone that really and truly loves you will NOT
Willingly abuse and hurt you.
I hate the years of my life I wasted and all the time I invested on someone so unworthy. I am thankful for the experience because now I know the difference. I know
What it is to be loved,wanted,needed and cherished by a real man. I thank God for unanswered prayers and for one special man whose love and devotion has healed my heart and made my life wonderful!

COVERING UP THE STUPID AND UGLY

Happy....Happy.....Happy....! So excited and over the moon about my new tatt! Took a long time to design and choose something to cover up a huge mistake !
The new one is honest and real and reflects my new life that is honest and real.
It covers something born out of a naive woman kept constantly off balance and ill at ease, waiting for the shoe to drop. The new tatt covers that STUPID AND UGLY mistake. Covers it totally! It is a reminder that I AM worthy of love and that I have nothing to prove to any f'ing man! A man that is worthy of my heart will not breakand abuse it! I can't stop looking at it! Love it! Love u, P!
