Whew. #4 on my 25 Things list... DONE!
Wow.
So there's me. <25> and I've realized that waiting around for life to start is the quickest way to watch life pass you by! It's one of the main reasons I started my 25 things list- to remind me to take an active part in this thing that is my life, because it is mine to live.
Getting a tattoo (#4 on my list!) is something I've been putting off for quite some time. I knew what I wanted, of course- a literary quote, but it just never seemed like the right time or I didn't have someone to go with.
THEN I wondered why the HECK was I waiting for SOMEONE ELSE to tell me when it was the "right time" to get a tattoo?
After all, it was going on *my* body.

So on the first day of my Birthday Month- I set out to get the tattoo I wanted.
It was exhilarating and strangely anti-climatic, my trip.
Yes, the entire time [up to the moment the needle touched my skin] I was wondering: am I really going to do this?
But I wouldn't change a thing!
I had so much fun! The place I went to was so accommodating and nice! It was relaxed, comfortable, not crowded, and definitely not intimidating. (Though honestly, I'm not one easily intimidated. I think I mentioned somewhere I can be stubborn as hell? hmm... sounds about right...)
The tattoo. Hurt. Like. Hell.
But SO worth it!!
I LOVE it! ❤
This experience gave me a much-needed jolt to the fact that I'm much more capable then some give me credit for.
So now it's a waiting game- for warmer weather to come so I can show it off!!

Can you tell who the quote is by???
<Hint: it's by one of my favorite authors>

It says:
They
who Dream
by Day are
Cognizant
of many things
which escape those
who Dream only
by Night
