What a legend.
J.K. Rowling has proved herself to be one sound lady.
When a fan sent her a tweet asking for a request, that she wanted to get ‘expecto patronum’ tattooed in J.K.’s handwriting, she kindly obliged.
Along with the request for the handwriting, she attached an image to the tweet with a heartfelt and honest explanation for wanting the tattoo. In the post she wrote:
“This won’t take long, I promise… I’ve been through (and am still going through) so many things in my life, from sexual assault to bullying to attempted suicide 8 times. I’m not proud of these things, but it’s who I am. I’m also trying my hardest to stop self-harming. It hurts my body, but it hurts my soul more. I know you won’t judge, that’s why I’m telling you this. Another reason why I’m telling you this is because, through all the downs in my life, you helped me get through every single thing one way or another! You gave me a second, a third chance, you gave me so many chances in life and not taking them seriously wouldn’t be fair to you. I will never be able to thank you enough, Jo. I wanna get “expecto patronum” tattooed on the wrist I usually cut the most, or somewhere else idk yet exactly, because I know that’s gonna make me stop even if it takes a while. Please, Jo. I know I can slowly start to recover, but I need your help to do so. You’ve always been there and I know you’ll always be. – Kate”
