I’m back home and we got all of the line work for my tattoo done! My arm is all wrapped up, so I cannot show you the finished piece yet. However, here is what my tattoo pretty much looks like. This is the stencil. =)

This photo I took is so terrible that I probably shouldn’t even be showing it. It definitely does not do the design any justice. In fact, I had to darken it just so it was more visible, but I am so incredibly excited that I’m posting it anyways! This beautiful piece of art is what I will be getting tattooed on my left arm (shoulder to elbow) starting tomorrow morning! ❤

I scribble and colour sometimes.
That’s me right now. Snap out of it Berry. It’s no fun feeling like this.
This is me every single day of my life with literally every single thing I do. I have always felt like nothing I do is ever good enough.
I trudge it though because I’ve always believed that it’s okay as long as you’re trying your best. Depression and anxiety have taught me that some days doing your best just means getting yourself out of bed. However,
the very next day your best efforts can have you running further than you’ve ever gone before.
So even though I feel like I’m always failing and I feel as though everyone else always does better job at everything, I’m strangely okay with that. It’s okay because I know I am always do the best that I can. No one can really ask for more than that.
I wanted to share my thoughts on this for anyone who might be feeling like this right now in hopes that it might help someone. ❤

No Sims posts for a bit because I am doggie-sitting this pretty lady. =)
Be kind to yourself. Stop telling yourself that whatever you are struggling with “should” be easy. If something is hard for you, it is hard for you. There are probably Reasons, though those may just be how you are wired. Acknowledge these things. When you finish something hard, be proud! Celebrate a little.
And really, just stop saying “should” to yourself about your thoughts and feelings in any context. You feel how you feel. The things in your head are the things in your head. You can’t change either directly through sheer force of will. You can only change what you do. Stop beating yourself up for who and what you are right now–it isn’t productive. Focus on moving forward.
