This date last year meant so much to me. It was officially the ending of a long-term relationship of being connected to someone I no longer needed in my life.

With in the past year, I’ve been able to make the improvements and happiness my physical and mental health needed from I was feeling in 2022. Since last year, I’ve been able to change careers, move to a new place & start the process of a family, (the family part is a work in progress) & add a few more tattoos (as therapy) along the way.

I am happier, healthier than I was a year ago & I have a clear mind of what I want to do with my life & who’s part of it. Here’s to more years of happiness and improving myself even more. 💕

Freshly inked. First and probably only tattoo for 2024. (For now*) This was a pricy piece but I love the design and details. Thanks Sabrina for this piece!

Booked my first & biggest tattoo of 2024.

I’m so excited for this design my artist posted on IG the other day. For a while now, I’ve been wanting a shoulder design of florals and capping off my arm to create a sleeve! Now my right arm will be 75% covered!! I can’t wait to get it done within the next few weeks. 💕

Tattoo Therapy has helped so much within the past year. It has help express my feelings, open/close of chapters of my life, reconnecting with family/friends & so much more. I love my tattoos. Some individuals might not like or appreciate them but I don’t care. They are for me & they bring me happiness & joy. My body & my choice.

1 year ago today, this is exactly how I felt.

I’m glad I was able to get help & pull myself out of this.

Friday is officially my last day working in a toxic environment. Yesterday was the last day I ever deal with (2) individuals who gave me hell or coasted with my existence. This is the final chapter of changing my life around from a year ago. I can’t believe how much has changed for the better within a year.

Relationships, living situation & now my job.

Starting Monday, I start a fresh chapter of my new career. I’m excited to see what else will happen this year. 🖤

On this year-long journey of positive changes. One of the final and most difficult steps was getting a new job.

For the past 3 years, I’ve been unhappy with my employment but I stayed because I was comfortable & it pays the bills. As of day, I put in my notice to leave. I officially got a new job. I’m so happy I was able to land something fresh and new. I couldn’t believe when I received the phone call and email with my offer. I’m still shocked!

It’s been a stressful and emotional roller coast at my current employment. I was ready to straight up quit over a month ago. I couldn’t deal with the chaos and stress this job does to me. Especially over the YEARS of being here. I glad the employment gods answered by prayers and I can start expanding at my new job.

It’s been a long year of change (in a good way) and I can’t wait to see what else comes my way.

✌🏼weeks to go til I can start fresh.

The day after my divorce was finalized. I decide to get another tattoo. This time I request for a Mothra tattoo. As someone who grew up with an older brother loving Kaju monsters, Mothra was always my favorite. When you google the meaning behind Mothra, she stands for ‘peace, end of war, light.’ She also stands for "Motherly, protective, and strong."

This tattoo fits perfectly on how I feel about my previous situation. Tattoo therapy at its finest.

I am at peace. The nightmare is over. Happiness, peace & clarity.

This what I did last summer. I broke my own heart to set myself free and to find peace, happiness & hope again. I couldn't take living in an environment of depress, anger and frustration any longer.
