This tattoo speaks to me more than anyone can imagine. I've been through hell and back with anxiety that plagued me for 3 years. It was so entirely crippling. I lost days that i will never be able to retrieve. This tattoo is to remind myself everyday that I shall not worry any longer, for I am stronger than I ever thought was possible, both mentally and physically.

And to him:
I did this without you. I went through the most amount of physical pain I have ever endured. I did it. You were not by my side.
I do not need you, nor do I want you in my life ever again. You will never have the opportunity to hurt me again.

You will worry me no longer.
