Stacie

Okay.. where to begin.

Friendships in my life have been in one word temporary.

But My Stacie. She is permanent.

She is a true friend. One that will stick by me. Who will tell me like it is. Who I will grow old and senial with. She has stood by me through it all.

So .. I did something on a whim.. Some day I may regret it. But today i don't. Stacie has helped me to put meaning back into forever for me. I thought I lost that feeling.. the feeling of knowing without a shadow of a doubt that a friend /a relationship would last for FOREVER.

God is doing a work in me. He is remolding me. Re-shaping me. I am going to make it through this period of time. Not unscathed. But Stronger.

I am taking the challenge, to live life more passionately. To be Natalie, to be real.. to seriously, SERIOUSLY not care what people think. I am who I am. I am beginning now at age 27 and a half to truly LOVE who I am.

So even though.. I didn't plan it, I didn't agonizingly over it the exactness of it.

It is hideable. It will not inhibit any future job oppurtunities. Everyone is more then welcome to freak out. But for me it was just apart of MY healing process.


Forever is back.. it is no longer tainted. The glass is officially half full again!

I know.. I' on the crazier side.. but thats's why you LOVE me!

~Your Innocent Little Natalie

I think that is very cool. you will likely get a lot of questions about it through the years which will lead to some interesting things I'm sure :)
I have a small tattoo on my ankle to cover up a scar that I was particularly embarrassed by and I don't regret it at all. And I was never going to get one because I am a little afraid to commit to something that permanent on my body, but I did it and I love it.
My sister has many tattoos but the same time I got mine she got one the same spot as you that says "dream bigger" and it's one of my favorites on her. it's just such a nice spot for a script tattoo i think.
anyhooo...now i'm rambling. love the tat and glad you have forever friends, I have a few myself and they are priceless.

Haha! Oh I do LOVE you Natalie for YOU! And I'm glad you talk so honestly about everything, that's one of my favorite things about you! And a tattoo! Wow! It's fun and meaningful! I haven't found anything yet I'd like to tattoo on myself, although I'm not opposed to it. I'm glad you're enjoying YOU!!
