So I think being a person who has lots of strange experiences I need to have outlets for that to keep me grounded and calm and focus my mind. Sometimes writing is good and sometimes drawing but sometimes something really visceral like a tattoo is what works. I did a cross contamination course and got myself some equipment and then learned off a good friend how to stick n poke. Its great way to mark time and make Commitments and to remember and integrate. I also like the reminder that my body is transient I won’t be here forever in this form and so I can lighten up a bit and try to enjoy each breath!
Also my stretch marks look like waves or ripples of light on the water which I liked as getting to embrace my bodies natural expression feels like a big part of healing.
Hope you enjoy this.
