How I did it: I know when I am being sincere, but others don't seem to. When I say 'Let's get together' I mean it. Not many people do. When I compliment someone, it's not to suck up, it's because I really mean it. Fakeness abounds in our society and it can be discouraging. I feel better knowing I am not being fake, but do other people see that I mean what I say? I have to let actions follow words and just SHOW it. Read how I did it…
I have my children’s names inked onto my back. They were my first real tats, and I love them. I try to make sure every tat I have has some signifigance to it, no matter how small. (I have 17.)
I found it’s best to stay away from mainstream religion—for me it is best. I’m a private person with a private relationship to God. We’re on an adventure together, and I feel alright about not being able to LABEL or CLASSIFY myself or my beliefs. Stay open minded, do what you know in your heart is the right thing to do, always, and seek a spiritual peacefulness, and you’ll be OK. Find and follow your own path!
