WHAT THIS TATTOO MEANS TO ME:
So obviously I love Anime and I've been watching it since I was a little tyke UwU And one of my first obsessions was of course: Sailor Moon 💖🌙✨ Like to most lil girls, magical girl's were everything to me. The way they could fight crime with the powers of love & justice, all the while retaining their femininity and their goddess magic that every woman holds. Especially when living in a world where women are constantly told that they are not good enough, not strong enough, not capable enough, not worthy enough. Less than. Where some women even delve more into their masculinity in order to be respected, safe, or seen. There's nothing wrong with this ofc if it's consensual and by design. But as a hyper femme girlypop who loves honoring and living within her divine feminine (and no I wasn't always this way) it's so nice to have a role model who displayed the essence, beauty, & power that women have. While also showing the sacrifice, strife, and torment of what we go through. The vulnerability without shame. The mighty fierceness of feminine rage. The value of the good yet simple things in life such as love & friendship. It was so good to grow up with. She was my role model then, and still is now. Because I am not perfect, though many seem to think so. I have Persistent Depressive Disorder, PTSD, Anxiety, ADHD. And sometimes my emotions consume me, and take days if not weeks of my time. I've experienced horrors that I never share with anyone. I fear true vulnerability and rejection. I am a perfectionist and my own harshest critic. I push people away before they can push me away in some counterproductive form of self preservation. I cry a lot, but always wear a smile. Sailor Moon never does that. She wears her heart on her sleeve and shows us all that her vulnerability IS her strength. That we are allowed to be both soft AND strong at the same time. In a world where there is so much injustice and uncertainty now more than ever. This is a reminder for me to KEEP GOING. To embrace my TRUE self, ALL of the parts of me. To love HER and let her SHINE, come what may. A vow to continue to spread love and light in this world, despite it all 🎀
