Ra-ta-TAT



This is my first tattoo :) 
It reads, "Her touch lingers like the cold that stings."
It's still healing. Today marks one week since I got it. It is currently peeling off haha.

My tattoo is a line from a poem I wrote when I was around 12-13? I'm not quite too sure about the exact date because at that time I didn't have the mind to date my poems. I'm 19 now by the way. Anyway, this quote and the poem as a whole that it was derived from mean something real and deep to me. Essentially, it's to remind me that I have and will touch lives during my existence. Whether it be good or bad, what others remember me by, my actions, my convictions, my passions, my family, my art..they are all evidence to the fact that I have once existed. Granted, I may not go down in history, but there will be some people out there who can say that I've made an impact in their lives. Realizing this, I am given the courage to keep living no matter how rough it gets in life and it reminds me that I am here for a purpose.

Sigh. I really should go to sleep now. I've been struggling with sleeping at a more reasonable hour so that I don't end up sleeping the mornings away..but then again, I've never been a morning person. Meh. 

And, to whoever reads this..thanks for listening. Have a great day!
