Since convention I've learned a lot about myself and that, while I may thing I'm alone, I'm not. This battle within is fought by so many people and my problems aren't as bad as they could be. Since becoming an adult, I've had many trials and tribulations that have shaped me into the person I am today. Events happened and there's nothing to do about them except stand up, brush myself off, and keep walking forward with my head held high. I know my worth. Last September, I joined the family of Origami Owl and honestly, it has been one of the best leaps of faith I've ever taken. I've grown strong with each passing month. This image represents the struggle I have with my depression, anxiety, and PTSD for the last almost 10 years. My new tattoo and my locket tell that same story. I've dreamed big despite my insecurities. #origamiowl #independentdesigner #teamlovesparkle #teamolivelockets #semicolontattoo #dreambig #realfie #owls
