In high school, my parents found out about my mental instability. My mom and I became very close after I opened up to her about my struggles with my mental health. She decided she wanted to get the tattoo with me to commemorate how far we had both come. We added a heart to express our love to each other, and the arrow because she always told me that sometimes you need to be pulled back in order to be launched forward. She is my best friend and I’m so lucky to have her support in my journey to a healthier life." —cordeliah4ce1a407c
