From Aldous Huxley’s ‘Island’:

“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me. When it comes to dying even. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic. No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Little Nell. And of course, no theology, no metaphysics. Just the fact of dying and the fact of the clear light. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling, on tiptoes and no luggage, not even a sponge bag, completely unencumbered.”


I have a history of taking this too hard, which has led me down the wrong path so many times. This reminds me not to.

My tattoo says “have hope” in Loren Sherman’s version of Circular Gallifreyan, which is a language in Doctor Who. I got it because when I was having a rough time in my life, I found hope in something as small as a TV show: Doctor Who. It is a reminder to me that hope is in the smallest of places, and a little hope is all you need.

I got it done by Justin Smith at Elite Tattoo Gallery in Fort Worth, TX.

My beautifully amazingly Ganesha tattoo. Done by GLENN R. COLLINS @ Broken Lantern Tattoo Studio in Charleston, SC. This is my first tattoo of many more to come and i couldn’t be any happier about how it turned out. i love it so much because it is extremely meaningful to me. Ganesha is the over-comer of obstacles. every single symbol in this tattoo has a meaning to it and that’s why i fell in love with this Goddess in particular. Ganesha has a lot to do with how i look at my life in general and how i presume life to be like. i couldn’t ask for a more beautifully done piece for my first one :D go big or go home~!
