Ink Is Only Skin Deep is becoming my place to collect my thoughts and really just have somewhere to be able to put my feelings, memories, goals, dreams, fears and any other random thought that happens to cross my twisted little mind LOL.
My post title says All-American Nightmare and as the lyrics to the song say "I'm red white and blue tattooed and just don't care..."and that couldn't be a better quote for me. I like to think of myself as a "rocker chick" who has a "girly girl" side with a little bit of "princess" mixed in there. I may not be the typical All-American girl but I am true to who I am right down to my bones. Many times I have tried to mold myself to fit someones perception of me or what they think I should be like and I finally came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what I do or say that I can only be myself and if you don't like it then sorry. There's no room in my life for people who are going to judge me or look down upon me, if you can't take me at my worst you sure don't deserve me at my best.
Those who have known me since elementary school, or even high school for that matter, would most likely say that I am quite different than I was back then. I always got good grades and never really got in trouble, I suppose one could say I was a bit of a teacher's pet. Looking back now I can see that and I have no regrets about how I was back then, but if I went back and did it all again I would do things differently. I would have loosened up and had more fun, worried less and just took chances in life a little more. There are things I never told people and now don't have the chance to, opportunities I missed and friends I've lost... but I can honestly say I've learned from my mistakes and am very thankful for the people who have stuck by me throughout the good times and the bad.
As I close out this, my very first blog post ever, I can say that while I don't know how long this whole blogging thing will last, I will say that it is bound to be quite the adventure....
