tattoos

Beyond the initial addictive thrill of getting a new tattoo, I have come to see tattoos like passport stamps — things that you collect along the way to remind yourself of where you’ve been and who you’ve met.

At just 20 years old, the breakout German singer-songwriter already has millions of listens to her name, but her inviting modesty surpasses any of her streaming success.

The truth is, living is a choice. It’s a choice I’ve made every day since my struggle with depression began.

I developed a particular affinity toward tattoos my senior year of high school, which I attribute to teen angst and an urgent itch to rebel.

In the months following my tattoo appointments, I tend to fall asleep tracing the edges of the image. 

The fact that I’ve had sex with many people besides my one and only “daddy” shouldn’t be the litmus test for parenthood.
