I got tatted.

Fresh ink yesterday. About to shower for the first time, with that wrapper crap still on. Yes, it hurt.
 
I've never wanted one before. Crystallized when my amazing cousin Sarah visited a couple weeks back, and I ended up offline without my phone having a spiritual spa day. She and I have jokingly thought about emotionally getting tear-filled matching tattoos over the years, such as when our grandma passed in 2018.

G = gratitude. Thanks Debbie & Joe, Grammy for the "G", and so many more (of you - like Efe) for being exemplars of living appreciation... generosity, graceful, etc. Truly (you) people have been the biggest influence on my life.

C = curiosity. Thanks Drew and so many more (like you - everyone who reads this) for emphasizing the value of curiosity's actionable posture. Hunger for learning as a mechanism of humility and a forward priority.

Pillars I hope to stand on, until I can't.
No ragrets.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
