The view from above.

This picture is nowhere near recent but it symbolizes what I want this blog to be about. Making the most of every experience. It wasn't because I wanted to be rebel or get one because everyone was doing it, it was because I wanted one. I believe I will always love it, even when I'm old and wrinkly. Throughout my life wrinkles will appear, showing my age and for no reason will I be ashamed to have my tattoo go through the aging process with me.



The origin of my Taking Flight message came from this fascination with birds. They are so lucky to have the open sky, endess amounts of clouds to navigate around and a sea of blue to live among. The view from the ground is similar where we can see into infinity, but the simple luxury of flying fascinates me. Like birds, I was watching the Olympics, the ski jumpers have the same chance to put all their might into one motion and let it release among the open air. I thought, I'm sure it isn't as easy as it looks, ski jumping or flying, but it sure is interesting to watch. I'm sure birds or any air creature doesn't appreciate the air like I would but that is like anyone of us, we don't really appreciate something until it is gone. For birds they have access to all ends of the earth, but really who knows what they are thinking or feeling?



My first tattoo meant a lot to me and of course people still never think I am concealing such a thing as a tattoo. For me when I got my tattoo it was an experience. I had everyone close to me that are usually far away, my brother and uncle both in town for my graduation, and my two best friends from my hometown. Every experience effects differently and this is just one among many.
