Just like a tattoo.

So I want to get a tattoo.
I been thinking and what the hell am I waiting for right? I should just get it done instead of waiting for like fifty years. And Davi says she wants to go check out how much the tattoo she wants is going to cost. So I'm thinking of going with her and I want to get my tattoo just before the boyfriend's birthday.
I'm still trying to figure out what I want. I was thinking of getting a Phoenix. I know it's just a mythical creature, but it brings hope in a way.

From Wiki:

The phoenix is a mythical sacred firebird that originated in Persian mythology, ancient Phoenician mythology (according to Sanchuniathon), Chinese mythology, Egyptian religion and later Greek mythology.

A phoenix is a mythical bird that is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (Greek for sun-city). It is said that the bird's cry is that of a beautiful song. In very few stories they are able to change into people.

From tumblr :

A symbol of mystical rebirth, resurrection and immortality, the Phoenix was believed to die in its self-made flames periodically then rise again out of its own ashes

The thing that I love the most about a phoenix is mostly the fact that it burns and rises from its ashes. To me this is like, renewing the spirit or the soul. It's really symbolic to me: When everything has crashed and burn and you feel like there's no longer any hope, rise from the debris of the situation and be stronger and just as beautiful as before. You get what I mean?

Then I thought of getting something to do with Hearts, just because love is important to me. Love with friends, family and relationships. And because all I ever really want is to love and to be loved; I have always had so much love to give but I've always been giving them to the wrong people, well, except for now :)

Then I thought of getting a picture of something with a quote like "C'est La Vie" or "Carpe Diem". And I found this really nice flower I wanted to get. But I changed my mind.

The phoenix, that's what I'm getting. :) I think.
