Almost six years ago, shortly after I moved to New York City, @theferocity and I went to @3kingstattoo in Brooklyn and got matching Basquiat crowns.

But the real thing this tattoo is about, for me, is it& #39;s about light. It& #39;s about growth. Because @theferocity is leaving tomorrow, & his light has fed me the entirety of our friendship. It& #39;s a light that has changed me. And I& #39;m going to miss him after tomorrow when he moves away.
But I know he& #39;s never going to stop shining.
Never stop being light.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌿" title="Kräuter" aria-label="Emoji: Kräuter">
