Learning to love myself…..

I wanted a tattoo a long time ago, was going to get a Lotus flower to symbolise coming through troubles “A lotus is a flower that grows in the mud, the thicker and deeper the mud, the more beautiful the lotus grows”.... However…

I just got this tattoo….. LIVE LOVE BE

LIVE – Because I have to Live, to honour my brothers life and his struggle to fight to live… i cant throw away something that is so precious that he would have given anything to have…

LOVE – Because I have been rejected and hurt and emotionally battered by many including myself… and I have to keep loving, and risk loving and being loved….

BE – Because I want to focus on the NOW as that’s all there really is, and just BE, in whatever state that might BE, just BE…

So here’s my tattoo…
