"I can't control my destiny, I trust my soul. My only goal is just... to be."
This weekend I celebrated my life, my continued journey for healing, my friendship with two AMAZING people, and my crazy but incredible love for the city I live in by getting another tattoo.
It's not finished, because it lacks a quote, "la vie boheme."
[ohm: it's a sort of universal spirituality. it's a symbol of belief and balance. in many eastern religions it is a preface to a prayer, or meditiation. a way to calm the mind and senses so that the main focus is the connection with the spiritual. the symbol represents several different things. the lower curve represents the waking state, the the sleep state is the upper left curve, forming what looks like the number three. in between the two, branching out to the right, is the dream state. the dot at the top represents conciousness, and the curve below it says that you can not reach total conciousness (the dot) by holding onto limits.]
I am not giving up. My heart and my sould are forever indebted to the words and music of Jonathan Larson, and right now is not my time. I've been through hell, but my dreams haven't come true and my journey hasn't ended, so yesterday I took a moment to make a mile marker on my life map; to acknowledge that this is where I am, and I'll never be here again, but it a lot for me to get here, and I'm proud of how far I've come.
No day but today.
love this!
