Weird flex, but okay. #technology
In 2018, I found out that I have epilepsy. 🤯 I haven't told many people about this because, frankly, it is nobody's business. In the time after my diagnosis, I couldn't drive and was forced to work from home. This state of uncertainty and immobility kind of changed me. It forced me to be more patient, and rethink the ways I approach stress and fear. Instead of stewing in my own self-pity, I've tried to see each day as a gift. So, what is this tattoo? During the months after my initial seizure, I noticed a pair of cardinals living in my back yard. I started working from my porch just to catch a glimpse of them, and I was eventually able to predict their arrival most days based on their typical routine and vocal communications. Hearing the distinct chirp of the female cardinal brought a smile to my face during a time when not much else did. Some of my friends have (lovingly) teased me about my newfound "obsession with birds", but I think that it goes deeper than that. Finding out about my my medical condition has helped me appreciate some of the random little wonders in the world, and for that I'm grateful. The homie @ori.tattoos helped me commemorate this mentality with this lady bird. I'm lucky enough to do videography for a medical institute where I witness extreme medical conditions on a frequent basis. We document patients' stories and I can genuinely attribute my own optimism to some of the perspective that these interactions have provided. I decided to tell my story rather than fearing that I might sound preachy or self-serving for the same reason as the patients I've interviewed. I hope that someone who reads this stops and smiles, just because birds exist. 🙃

Stan Lee created an immeasurable legacy. I tried to quantify some of his impact with this mini-doc about his contributions to comic and film industries. 💛 @therealstanlee

Melting lights off the walls, I think I'm losing my mind yall. ✌
No disrespect to any of you, but this dog is the only thing that matters to me. He has never even seen Star Wars, but he still wears this shirt all of the time. His one eye doesn't work, but the other one is so fucking cute, it doesnt matter. His breath smells like an old bag of crab shells, and I'm okay with that. Holler at me if you want to rub his belly.
🏓🤘
We lost a legend today. Thanks for everything you gave to us, Mr. Lee. #Excelsior
I think sometimes there is a perceived disconnect between military and civilian worlds. @hasheart.us is an amazing organization doing everything in their power to destigmatize this conversation, and create a platform for #Veterans to express themselves creatively. Please go give them a follow and follow the rest of their trip across the US! Pictured: my MD design in collaboration with Naval Veteran, Paula Neira #VeteransDay
