Obviously I’m a big huge fan of Brand New
They’re my number 1 and have been since I was 12 years old.

Deja Entendu is my favourite album.
It’s my go to album.
Not many of you know this, but I used to not be very happy with my life, or myself.
Those of you who followed me when I was supkatie might have gotten a taste of how much I really didn’t like myself, but what none of you know is that my hatred grew even more as time passed and I was frequently annoyed/angry/disappointed in myself.
You could ask my boyfriend about it because he knows how I would get, and he knows how I felt about myself back then.

I really fucking hated myself.
When I would get stuck in my head and dwell on all my flaws and all the things that I did wrong, my only escape was listening to that album.
Everything about it calms me down and brings me ease.

This tattoo a reminder that I can get through my hard times- that I WILL get through them. I have in the past. I got through my lowest points because of that album, Brand New in general, and my boyfriend who was always patient and gentle with me, and still is.

I don’t post about how much I love Brand New because I’m never able to string all the right words together to capture how I feel about them.

This tattoo means a great amount to me, and no matter how bad I struggle to fully explain it to people, all that matters is what it does for me.
