She's strong but she's exhausted - Taking care of Me! Tyranny of Pink

I saw a meme on Facebook yesterday that said these simple words; she’s strong but she’s exhausted (r.h. Sin). I had to stop for a minute and read it again and I thought, that’s me! That’s exactly me. I’ve been trying to figure out what’s going on. I’m tired all the time, I’m drained, I…

The “D” word – Living with depression

The "D" word - Living with depression | Tyranny of Pink

Depression It isn’t something people like to talk about. Admitting that you have depression is a sign of weakness and something we are taught not to talk about in public.

People can be so critical of tattoos. Hell, if I'm People can be so critical of tattoos. Hell, if I'm honest, even I've judged People with tattoos. How can they get "that" or "what were they thinking" because you know, human. But I tell you what, I've never felt more like myself. I love my tattoos. I love my body covered in tattoos. And yes, when I'm old, they'll be wrinkled and sunken and you know what, I don't care because it'll still be me. This collection of random ink on my body may not be your taste and that's absolutely and completely okay. You're allowed your opinion but I don't care. Because I look in the mirror and I love myself. More than when I was younger, had no grey hair, was skinny with legs for days. I never felt like me. This older, grey haired person covered in tattoos and rolls loves herself so go on, judge. Say what you like but I love me and that's enough for me.
