What if the most visible part of you held your most vulnerable story?
In this episode, I read an essay about the tattoo on the back of my hand—what it means, why it matters, and how it ties together love, loss, estrangement, and healing.
It’s the story of a firebird, a ring, a block print my daughter made in middle school, and a man named Nick who turned a conversation into art.
This one goes deep. It's not just about ink. It's about memory, identity, and the way we carry the people we love—sometimes openly, sometimes with shame.
If you've ever wondered what it means to live with your truth visible, this is for you.
