"That which does not kills us, only serves to make us stronger."
I don't think I've had a more difficult year than 2014. I bet not many of you knew it, though, did you? I don't make a habit of broadcasting my life struggles all over the place, because largely no one cares and also the ones who do care talk to me in places other than the Internet.
But I've come out the other side much stronger than I used to be, and I have tools to put into place next time the shit hits the fan. And it will, because that's how life works.
That's about all I have to say about that.
So here, have some meaningful art that will one day end up on my upper left arm. I won't go too specific, but I can at least tell you what means what to me.
1. Black Rhino (tough hide represents imperviousness to outside forces, thick skin)
2. Monarch Butterfly (symbol of both hope and transcendence)
3. Turquoise robe/skirt (emotional healing and spiritual recharge during stress)
4. Diamond horn/s (durable and everlasting, beauty through trauma)
5. Inscription: “Fortitudine Vincimus” (“By Endurance, We Conquer”)
6. Buddhist lotus position (meditation and mindfulness in all things)
Well, I'm glad things seem to be going better for you. The pic will make a fantastic tattoo (I think that's what you're doing at least...). Good luck in the rest of 2015!
