My strength I choose to practice on was honesty, and honestly I failed. I knew the biggest challenge for me was going to be to tell my mom I got my first tattoo behind her back and without telling her first. I thought it was going to be easy for as I told my brother whom I tell everything to that I was going to tell our mother. He didn't think it was a good idea, since he thought it would end with my mother and I in a screaming match. I never had the best relationship with my mom due to honesty and always going behind her back or lying to her to get my way. As of recently my mom and I have grown a deeper bond where I voluntarily shared my location with her so she knows where I am at all times. Also, I have started telling her everything I do but, the tattoo I could not tell her about for some odd reason. It's not like my tattoo is a stupid impulsive one, I would think she would love it since it's about her but I have this feeling that she would just get upset with me since I did it behind her back without letting her know. As I invited my family out to dinner this weekend I started to ease into the conversation by asking a question, “mom what would you do if I got a tattoo with your initials and the infinity sign?” I did not know what her response would be but then I thought telling her was not such a good idea when she said, “I will beat your ass.” I started laughing immediately and I could not take her serious but a part of me told me not to tell her. Honesty is easy for me because I hate, “sugar coding” stuff for people when I know it is best to just tell them the truth. I do plan on telling my mom but maybe I will just tell her through FaceTime instead of dealing with a possible screaming match in person.
