My tattoo idea.

I love my tattoos. I love tattoos in general. Big surprise I'm sure that the dreadhead likes ink! Tattoos are having art on your body, and you get to choose what that art is. No one else. Your body is your canvas. Blank and ready. Tattoos mean something different to everyone but for me they hold a spiritual connection. A little piece of time from my life. So today as I ws talking to my dad I thought of a saying:

Accept who you were. Discover who you are. Become who you need to be.

This says a lot. Think about it.

Accept who you were. Who was I? I always want to think of myself as being the nice girl. But I haven't always been that way. I've hurt a lot of people over the years, from my relationship infedelities, to the high school girl that made people cry, to the times I told my mother I hated her. I've been selfish. Its hard to look back and think of the innocent people I've hurt. How do you just accept blantantly hurting people? I also have trouble accepting how much of a vengeful mean person I was. But I know that the only way to move on is to accept who I was. I may have been that person but I am no longer. I take the lessons from my experience as a mean girl and use it to mold my spirit.

Discover who you are. Accepting who you were leads to discovering who you are. I know that the person I was 5 and 10 years ago has absolutely made me who I am today. Who am I? I'm a positive, loving, generous person who loves making the world see the sunshine beyond the rain. With out my past though I couldn't appreciate or even understand what I have and know now. I like who I am now.

Become who you need to be. Once you accept and discover you have nothing left in the way of becoming who you need to be.

So you might be asking wht the hell this has to do with tattoos. Well I want to get the words Accept and Discover as a reminder to continue becoming who I need to be. Life is a metemorphasis, a great change. We are continually changing and growing, becoming.
