Strength Through Support
Gentle reflection: This post touches on friendship, protection, and strength through support.
There were moments when I needed to be carried.
This tattoo holds a pair of wings.
They honour the support that carried me through my youngest son’s birth and the lockdown years – a period that changed my life and my mental health forever.
At times, everything felt overwhelming.
There were days when I was simply trying to get through.
These wings remind me that I was not carrying it all alone.
For me, they represent protection, strength, and the people who helped hold me up when I struggled to stand on my own.
I no longer see them only as a symbol of survival.
I see them as a reminder of support, friendship, and the strength that can exist between people.
This tattoo helps me remember:
Sometimes being carried is part of surviving.
