Inked Memories

"Does it hurt?" they ask. "What does this actually mean?" they probe. "Doesn't your mom scold you?" they wonder. I don’t want to answer any of these questions. After all, it's my body, my life, and engraving these arts on my skin is my own secret language, a personal code I choose not to share. Each tattoo carries a deep story, a hidden chapter of my life that helps me navigate this fast-paced world.

Every time I get a new tattoo, I feel a rush of vitality, as if I'm evolving into a new character in the story of my life. These tattoos are more than just ink on skin; they are the keepsakes of my journey, the only thing I’ll carry with me to the grave. 

For me, each tattoo is a reward for overcoming challenges, a celebration of special occasions, or a way to immortalize a memory I cherish. They represent my morals, values, and beliefs, etched in a way that words alone cannot capture.

I love them more than anything because they are the truest expression of who I am. If you ever feel the urge to get one, do it. Not everyone gets tattoos to look cool. For some of us, they are the milestones of our lives, the emblems of our triumphs, and the testaments to our most treasured moments.

And yes, I can definitely answer one common question: No, my mom doesn't scold me. In fact, she paid for my first tattoo on my birthday, and each time she asks if I'm getting a new one because she knows my love for them. Giving someone something they love is the purest form of love, and she loves seeing them on me and is curious about what I'll get next.


Adios

Between Holding On and Letting Go

You know how they say time flies? Well, that's true, but memories, they don't disappear so easily. The moments you share with someone special don’t just fade away. They linger, becoming a part of you. You don't really move on from those memories; instead, you learn to live with them, accepting the beautiful chaos they bring into your life.  To keep moving forward, you sometimes have to be practical, setting aside those memories, moments, and even the people tied to them. Life continues for everyone, and as it does, it teaches you lessons, shapes your character, and imparts wisdom. It shows you who you really are. And with these lessons in mind, you press on, knowing that dwelling on the past won’t reveal the beautiful story that’s yet to unfold or the unexpected turns that lie ahead. They both knew it wasn’t easy. At least, that’s what she believed. During their last conversation, he said, “Goodbye before I break down and tears start falling.” Little did he know, she was pr...

The Day I Saw Your Eyes Shine Bright

Dear Sissy, Today, I noticed something special in your eyes - a sparkle of joy and happiness that I haven’t seen before, a sparkle that reminds me of little Sakshi when she achieves something she has worked so hard for. Seeing you smile that way filled my heart with pride and happiness. I’ve watched you work so hard, every day, with so much dedication. And today, as you took your first-ever flight, I felt deep sense of joy and pride. You inspire me and Darsh in so many ways and we look up to you, not just because you’re our sister, but because you’re strong, wise, and amazing woman. You’ve grown so much over the years. I’ve never seen you want something without putting in the effort to get it. Being the first in our family to take a flight for a national trip is a big deal to me because I know how much you’ve worked and saved for this moment. Your dreams are big, and your beliefs are strong and they motivate us to dream big too, and not be afraid of going after what we want. You have a...
