Dare to be something more

Because I can't wait till tomorrow to take a better photo... Got this bad boy touched up today & I love it even more. So happy to have this on my body for the rest of my life. Yes, it's Simba from the Lion King. Not only is the Lion King one of the best Disney movies, but also the message Rafiki relays to Simba in that movie: "Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it". That not only means don’t change yourself for others. It also means that you can’t change your past. You just have to accept it and move on. (at Adrenaline Vancity Tattoos and Piercings)

'Cause I'm on top of the world, waiting on this for a while now 💙

I've been thinking a lot lately about death and losing loved ones, especially my parents. They're the most important people I'll ever have in my life. I lost my dad (as I've talked about many times) almost 8 years ago now and it's still hard to even talk about it. I still feel in the back of my mind like he's just on some long fishing trip. That's the only way to look at it without it being real, and sad. With my mom, she's still kickin' it and just stayed with me for the weekend. It was a great few days. Nowadays we don't get to spend nearly as much time as we'd like to together because we live so far apart, but when we get together boy do things get crazy (in a good way of course). A conversation we had which was kind of depressing, but needed to be had really, was what I'd do when my moms "time comes". I honestly have dreamt about it many times and always woke up in a panic. For some reason I always think it's true and call one of my sisters or my mom HOPING she'll be on the other end of the line. Which she usually is. But in reality, I have no idea what I'd do without my mom. Yes, my dad and I were pals and I miss him daily. But my mom and i's relationship is different, special even. She knows me so well that with a simple sigh she knows something's up and will question me immediately. And I know HER so well that I'll question HER If I know something's bothering her. It goes both ways. Like she keeps saying lately, we take care of each other, the way it should be. Without her I wouldn't know what to do with myself half the time. I call her daily & just see how she's doing, talk about my day etc. Or if something's bothering me I usually vent to her about it and she helps me through it. So basically without her, I'd be lost. I'm not prepared to be lost any time soon so MOM, DONT GO ANYWHERE ANYTIME SOON KTHX. And dad, keep popping into my dreams ANY time. It's nice to see your face sometimes. He even tells me straight up to smarten up in most dreams he's in so there's that. 😂❤️. Did I mention I love my parents?
