Be Beautiful

Tattoo's; they can be a controversial thing most of the time. Yes, the bible says your body is a temple, but the body is also my own. I'm free to do whatever I want to my body. If I choose to fill it with tattoo's, then I can and I will. If I want to paint myself blue like an avatar, then I can and I will. I'm not saying don't listen to the bible, or that the bible is wrong. I'm just saying that people give a lot of crap to those who have tattoo's saying things like "what will that look like when you're older?" Or "you'll regret that one day."


Do you not think we think these things through? I only have 1 tattoo at the moment, but I'd like to get a few more because I like them, and my tattoo's have meaning behind them. 3 years ago my brothers and I all went and got tattoo's together. I got my birth name and a lotus flower (my Korean name means lotus flower) tattooed on the back of my shoulder and my brothers all got the same tattoo. All 3 of my brothers got the word "adoption" in Korean and the day that I came over to America. It might not seem like much to some people, but to me it meant the world to know all of my brothers love me so much, that they had the day I became apart of their family permanently tattooed on them.

I get that people don't like tattoo's, and I agree that some people probably don't think all the way through when they get their tattoo's, but that doesn't give you the right to degrade them and be rude. If you don't like them, that's fine, but keep it to yourself. Tattoo's can be some of the most beautiful pieces of art and can mean so much more than you will ever know.

“Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”-Ephesians 4:29 This has been a verse that I have remembered since my very first year of YFN back in 2005. Whoever the speaker was wanted us to remember it very well so he would always yell “What time is it?” & everyone would yell back “4:29!” Guess it’s a good thing it wasn’t 4:20 or that would just be terrible. Where I’m at in my life right now and with everything that has happened, I have had this verse on my mind a lot. I don’t always “follow” this rule, but recently I have been reminded of how important words are and how much they can affect a person. I have had to say goodbye to a person in my life that I never thought or hoped I would have had to say goodbye to. Sometimes goodbyes are just a “see you later” and sometimes they are actual goodbyes. I firmly believe that if someone is in your life and is ha...

I want to like you, but it's not that easy.

Today I treated myself to a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks (I got a pretty little red cup with a reindeer on it for all you peeps that threw a hissy fit over some stupid cups last year). The pumpkin spice latte was much needed. Mondays...I hate them. People...not fond of them either. Then you combine Mondays, people, a busted lip (let's not talk about how that happened), and trying to give good customer service...UGH. A lot of people don't know that  I AM NOT A PEOPLE PERSON . People assume that I am, and I am to a certain degree, but most of the time I don't want to be around people, talk to people, look at people (I rarely ever make eye contact...mostly cause it's awkward), etc. My parents usually disagree with me on this, but apparently people just don't get it. I have my small circle of people that I enjoy being around, and it's very small. I would't say that I hate people...I hate being around people. I don't like having to make conversation w...

Who Are You?

Daughter . S ister . Aunt. Adopted. Writer. Learner. Impatient. Easily annoyed. Lover. Friend. Gift giver. Planner. Unorganized. Lazy. Steven Adams enthusiast. Messy. Dedicated. Hard worker. Mistake maker. Bad driver. OKC Thunder fanatic. Loud. Loyal. Photographer. Frustrated. Not great at expressing feelings. Not great at hiding facial expressions. Grumpy. Animal and baby lover. Let's try this again. I had this whole post typed out and it deleted, so I'm currently annoyed, but here's the chance to make this even better. All of that above...that is me, or part of me. The good, the bad, and the ugly. On Sunday the sermon was about labels. What 3 labels would you use to describe yourself? What 3 labels would you use to describe yourself to someone you've never met? I couldn't think of any at the time, I mean...c'mon...there are so many words. What kind of idea of myself do I want to give someone who doesn't know anything about me? When I finally thought of ...
