I’ve wanted to get a tattoo for a very long time, but was always afraid I’d end up with something that I would grow tired of quickly.
When I was 19 or 20 I decided that for my 25th birthday I’d get a tattoo, figuring that in that five year period I’d find something that would mean something to me. I’ll be 25 next September, in that time I’ve come up with a few ideas that have stuck, but nothing that I’m really passionate about.
A few days ago an idea came at me out of the blue; well.. not totally out of the blue, it is a phrase that I’ve been familiar with for a long time, taken from one of my favorite novels.
It is something that will help remind me not to let my life stagnate; that I must do the things that scare me, push past the fear of change that I let hold me back to become something better.
Because without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens.
