A daily reminder- now permanent.

This picture was taken immediately after I saw my new tattoo for the first time. As one who cautiously follows the rules, I anxiously awaited unraveling the protective bandage until three hours after the fact. My bathroom mirror serves as a place of critique every day; however, this time it reflected my older sister’s hand writing, promoting a message of “loving yourself first” and of conquering self-harm. I constantly search for love and approval from others, when I do not feel content with myself as a person. Without reaching this step, my identity will not continue to mature over time. Overall, this selfie serves as another reminder and places more of a positive light on the dreaded bathroom mirror.
