i’m doing this just to get a few things off of my chest.

i want to see the effort going towards things that matter. tpwk. https://issuesintheworld.carrd.co 

normalize saying “your body, your choice” and actually meaning it.

normalize not using “crazy” “mentally ill” etc, if you’re not being respectful.

normalize not sending hate to strangers on the internet.

yes, i support larry, but that has nothing to do with why i got the tattoo. both harry and louis have saved my life, not the ship, the people. whether individual or together, i owe them my life. i got the tattoo where i did so they’re “always on my side”

i got the picture i did bc it takes me back to seeing those old videos of the boys for the first time. to when i didn’t have a care in the world, when i realized how big of an impact these boys would have on me.

sure bring up those screenshots of tweets from a few days ago. i’ll admit that they might’ve been wrong in your eyes, but you weren’t on my twitter that day to see what everyone else was tweeting too. so i will not apologize.

i’ve also gotten a lot of “should’ve used the money for therapy”/“this is mental illness”

i go to therapy. i am on multiple meds to keep me alive every day. this tattoo made me the happiest i’ve been in a long time. you don’t know my life and don’t know what i’ve been through.

TW//sexual assault

i’ve never said this publicly, but i need you to understand that you truly have no idea the impact of your comments.

i was sexually assaulted three years ago. Lindsay, my virginity was taken without my consent. and your comment was the most triggering.

TW//sexual assault

Carly, i will wish i had never had sex for the rest of my life, but that choice was taken from me.

Irene, imagine immediately sexualizing someone on the internet bc of a tattoo.

these are just two of the hundreds i got like this.

you don’t know how triggering it can be for someone to see comments like that. harry and louis have been the only thing in my life that hasn’t changed in the past ten years. they are my comfort people.

that’s another reason why i chose the picture i did, bc the way louis is holding harry’s arm. in a “i’ve got you” manner.

and i chose to use the AIMH tweet bc they will truly always be in my heart.

sure the tweet is used as “proof” for larries, but it’s a different meaning for me. in no way was this tattoo ever supposed to be about their relationship that you all claim makes them so uncomfortable. it’s about two people that i love very much and i owe my life to.

and for everyone saying it’s embarrassing for the tattoo artist: he actually loved it. i explained it to him, i had him write out “always in my heart”. it was a very special experience.

i don’t need validation from the internet on what i put on my body, but it was really difficult to ignore all of these comments. i expected a few hateful people, but didn’t realize most people are hateful.

i posted my tattoo to show off to my followers, the ones who understand, not to please anyone else.

again, it’s my body. i love my tattoo and i don’t care if you do or don’t. just think about what you say to strangers on the internet next time.

and to all of the people who left lovely comments, thank you. i appreciate you all more than you could ever know.
