“Life is a journey, not a destination.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is the quote I try to live my life by. I, personally, am constantly waiting for the next big thing to happen. For instance, when I was twelve, all I wanted was to be thirteen so I could wear make-up. When I was fifteen, all I wanted to was to be sixteen so I could date. Once I hit freshman year of high school, I could not wait for junior prom. Then, I would not wait for graduation. College. The end of my first semester...
As I was waiting for these things to happen, I forgot to realize that life is happening RIGHT NOW. Do not wish away your life. Live in the moment for the moment is beautiful and fleeting- in its hardships and in its successes.
I have wanted this tattoo since seventh grade. I spontaneously decided yesterday that I was going to go for it. I have my pre-tattooed body in the upper right hand corner of the picture above. Just call it...Transformation Tuesday, I suppose.
The tattoo is actually a mirror image tattoo. This means that when you look at me, all you will see is gibberish. When I look into the mirror, however, it will be a constant reminder to live in the moment.
I also want to point out that I wanted to wait until I got abs to get this tattoo. But, that kind of defeats the purpose of the message, doesn't it?
Life is not a destination. Don't treat it like one.
Stay Lovely,
Me
