There is absolutely no need for an explanation this long for a single word tattoo. This is tumblr NOT miami/la/london/shitty ink.

This is my first tattoo! (: I got it done by Austin from Heart of Gold Tattoo in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have wanted this tattoo for over a year now, which was around the time that I realized I needed to start turning my life around. For a majority of my teenage life, I’ve been very angry and constantly becoming depressed on and off. I blamed everyone for my own problems and held the most disgusting grudges that made me hate myself even more than I already did. Which, might I add, is a lot.Towards the end of my junior year, things started changing in my head when I realized I didn’t want to be angry anymore. I didn’t want to keep having my heart broken. I didn’t want to keep on living with the completely negative state of mind that I had been living in since I was 13. So I slowly started changing…slowly. I dated a guy for a majority of my senior year and completely shattered his heart. That was the last time I hurt myself before I realized I needed to completely change my life, because I knew if I didn’t… actually, I didn’t know what would happen to be quite honest. But regardless, I was sick and tired of being so sick and tired of who I was and how I lived my life. So, I changed my attitude completely and how I looked at everything. I stopped hating everyone. I stopped blaming everyone and myself. I stopped being so negative. I stopped getting so angry all the time, especially at my family. And most importantly, I let myself be happy. This is the happiest I’ve been all of my teenage life, and I could never thank myself enough for allowing myself to be this way and treating everyone so much better. I got the constant reminder of why I need to stay this way tattooed onto my body so that I can never ever let myself fall into the deep hole I was stuck in for so long. It gives me a reason to stop and think about the fact that I’m being stupid and need to accept the consequences of my actions, because everything is essentially Inevitable.
