it sounds so strange, but i love being missed.
i love knowing that someone cares enough to call me or message me or write me a letter or anything, really, just to let me know that they miss me. it makes me feel so loved.
sometimes i forget that i have the support of so many wonderful people.
This tattoo says “Yaya” which is Tagalog for nanny or caretaker. I got it as a tribute to my own yaya, who has taken care of me 24/7 since I was born. She’s my hero because she could show so much love and give her whole heart to a child that isn’t even hers, and bottom line: I love her to bits.
I don’t care if people think this is a dorky (or “not badass enough”) tattoo, but it means the same to me as a tribute tattoo to my mom would. I love you, Yaya!

Wow, I love it. My yaya was my hero too. She helped my grandpa take care of me when I was younger when my mom was here, in the US. Who would have known that she’d be one of my aunts now and is a mother of one of my baby cousins and married my uncle, who passed away when I was 4 yrs old. I love her to death. Anyways, I love your tattoo. C:
Now I see that she and I are so a like in so many ways. I feel her pain over things that have gone wrong in her life. She is a beautiful person, a strong and determined woman. I think we could be friends, if it weren’t for the fact that you are in the middle.
I feel like I should stop reading her. But I can’t.
IFY.
