The battle with the heart isn't easily won.

My name is Chelsae. 23. Oklahoma. I'm a lesbian and I'm also a Christian: riddle me that. I'm a college student at OU studying microbiology, but I like art. I love hands and feet. I love music and lyrics. I have two of the cutest nephews in the world. I have a tenor ukulele named Ellen Egbert and a huge movie collection. I have met Ingrid Michaelson (X2) and Carah Faye Charnow of Shiny Toy Guns (X6). I have tattoos of their signatures on my feet because they're my favorite (they both have seen them and they approve), so judge me.

I got into a little bit of trouble while in Portland! 🙊 I couldn’t leave that magical place behind and not bring something back with me... a little permanent keepsake of the amazing experience I had in Oregon. 🌲🏔🍁 @leodarlintattoo at @hiddenrosetattoo created this beautiful, little piece as a walk-in and is a really friendly, easygoing guy. I’m super grateful for his work :) (at Hidden Rose Tattoo)

sometimes you need to figure out the different types of anemia and sometimes you need to paint your nails to look like cartoon dinosaur eggs. I don’t make the rules. 📚💅🏼 (at The Woodlands on Greenbay)

a ripped hospital ad torn from a magazine that I couldn't bear to part with has finally found its way into a frame and is now hanging above my study space. it serves as a constant reminder of one of the (many!) reasons why I love the profession I have chosen. #motivation #poeticpodiatry 👣👯 (at North Chicago, Illinois)
