It’s been 5 years since my last ink session and I forgot how painful it was…it felt like a mini lawn mower was running up and down and all around my back, 3.5 hours later, it is permanent and here to stay for a life-time! These past ink sessions represented a new career path in my life — this year, 2020 is a little different…this session is to reminder to continue to grow in life no matter the challenges and feeling displacement, “just make time and do it”

As each year passes by, I want to reflect back and remember the meaningful and successful things I have accomplished — even if it’s just sticking to my quarantine fitness and experiencing Ramadan for the first time.

I’m feeling extremely grateful to still have a job, a roof over my head, and all these amazing side projects thrown at me. It’s igniting my flame and setting my soul on fire.

…and then, 5 days till I meet D for the first time. :) When I realize I have nothing to lose, just take a leap of faith. Keep my hopes low and have no expectation is the best expectation. #yolo!
