TATTOO

Everyone always asks me what the tattoo on my wrist stands for so here it is:

Isaiah 41:10-1310

"Do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

11 "All who rage against youwill surely be ashamed and disgraced;

those who oppose youwill be as nothing and perish.

12 Though you search for your enemies,you will not find them.

Those who wage war against youwill be as nothing at all.

13 For I am the LORD, your God,

who takes hold of your right handand says to you,

Do not fear;I will help you.

This is my favorite passage from the Bible. It gives me strength during hard times and I find comfort in the words, remembering that I am never alone.

Above that is also the quote "This too shall pass"

It's from an old story about King Solomon, A Middle-Eastern king who was continuously torn between happiness and despair."When I feel satisfied I'm afraid that it won't last. And when I don't, I am afraid my sorrow will go on forever. **I feel like this all the time, so this story was very personal to me**The king summoned a wise and enlightened man and asked him to bring balance and serenity in his life at any price. The wise man offered him a simple ring with the inscription "This, too, shall pass,". The wise man told the king to wear the ring and whatever happens, good or bad, to touch the ring and read the inscription. This way, he would always be at peace.

This is a quote that hold a lot of meaning for me about life in general. It is a reminder that everything in life, good or bad, passes. It reminds me to appreciate the good things while they last, and helps me to endure the bad times knowing they will not last forever
