There are only two marks our life has, the date we are born and the day we die. And why not make every moment worthy to fulfill our greatest dreams in life rather than putting ourselves in despair of not getting up in the dust? It's only a matter o...

"Guys, what do you think about getting a tattoo?"
When I've asked them about that, they all looked at each other as if waiting for an anonymous answer to give to me.
That was nerve-wracking for real. I know I have suggested a few things to them before and they all ride along with it, but this is very crucial for me since I'm asking for a permanent thing that'll be dotted on our skin.
I really wanted to get tattoos. I think it was cool. But I'm also scared of doing it. There's this stereotype that if you have tattoos, you don't have a future or something like you belong to the jail.
So, I didn't continue pursuing it since if my parents find out about it, they will say a lot of things to me. They will just talk me out of it until I no longer want what I want to do in my life. They always have a say in every decision I have, that's when the opportunity came to me that I should move out of the house, I immediately did it.
Even though they have something to say about it, I did what I had to do for myself. I believe, moving out of my parent's house was already out of my comfort zone.
I had to do all the things on my own then. And even though I have to do it all by myself, I feel so free. That I feel like I don't have to worry about anything.
Thinking back about what I did, I was already trying to step it up. It's just that, I don't have the courage to do it. I don't have the will because of the consequences. But I did it anyway.
Now, I wanted to do something permanent that I won't regret anytime in the future.
"Are you kidding me, Heather?! I was thinking about that the whole time. I wasn't just sure if you would agree with it, but here you go! Let's do it! Let's make it happen!"
This time, I know I made the right decision. People might say something to me right after, but I don't care. Their opinion towards my life isn't what I needed. They can say everything they want to say to anything, but not on what I'm doing in my life.
The six of us, together with Manny, went to the nearest tattoo shop. Manny referred us there since he knew the area than us and he even showed us a tattoo of him on his shoulder that was made on the same tattoo shop we're going into.
When we arrived at the tattoo shop, we were greeted by the tattoo artist and handed a tattoo book which would be the reference they will do to put on our skin.
But I have another plan... I just hope they would agree on it. I'm not backing out, but I believe this is something great.
GO TO
YES - If you think she should go for it! Always!
NO - Let them choose their own tattoo for themselves.
