So, I got some new ink tonight. It was fun and I really like my new piece. I realize that in this day and age, tattooing is not so edgy or unique, but somehow it makes me happy. I feel like I am expressing myself and hopefully showing the free spirit side of me.
I feel like a hippie on the inside. I am learning that others view me differently than I view myself. Perhaps tattooing is me crying out for people to see me as a free spirit. Dunno.
I want so much to be who I am.... one of my favorite sayings is Be As You Are or BSUR. I was reminded today that I am almost 40 (it was like taking a bullet) and I felt like... WOW! Life is ticking away.
I am enjoying my life. I want to live and do and be. I don't want to miss a moment. I don't want to have regrets and I don't want to worry.
I work really hard to be responsible. To be a good person. To be a good friend and family member. To think before I speak and before I act.. But at the same time I want to live and do and be edgy and perhaps risky at times. It is a delicate balance.
I hope I am doing it all right. I hope God is smiling. I hope I will leave this place one day and feel like it was all good. All very good.
Lynn, While reading this post I was nodding my head in agreement. It's obvious that you work with diligence, and yet you're remarkably warm, whimsical, even. I'm tickled that you're enjoying the new ink, and that nothing to you is insignificant.
