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

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...

2024's first post, helluu

People often say "self-awareness" is important for "self-love". Sounds weighty, But wait, What does that even mean????? Let me put it this way: You let your beliefs come up without judging yourself, you look at them and figure out which ones are holding you back. Once you've done that, you work on changing them. Throughout this process, you stay kind to yourself and stay open to change. And obviously "change is constant", so now you don't let that one belief stop you from trying new things and growing.  In this process, you become chill and flexible and let that self-love shine through.
