At 19 I was going through nursing school, went through a rough break up, and I was going through a severe depressive state that I've had all my life. I remember everything felt like it fell apart around me at once and then I slowly was being rebuilt back up in just a few months because of the positive and supportive people in my life. I wanted a kind of reminder that things will get better. Life gets better when you dont give up and really work towards your goals. This is my first piece that began a long road of both a… type of recovery from depression and tattoo exploration. This tattoo has also helped me find who I am as I'm currently studying designs to become a tattoo artist one day. It will always be special and hold a place in my heart.
