Added 2022-12-10 01:30:14 +0000 UTCI wanted to give a few more close ups of my tattoos and share a little bit about their meaning.
I got my first lighthouse figurine when I was about 5 years old. It sat on my nightstand and I loved it. And had about 15 lighthouse figurines that were actual replicas of existing ones by the time I was 9 because whenever I had the money or the opportunity, that’s the first thing I would buy. Didn’t have too much meaning back then but that developed by the time I was 14-16 where I realized I wanted to be a lighthouse. Metaphorically obviously 😜 but that that felt like my calling, in whatever way I could. How? At that point I didn’t know and maybe I still don’t know and that’s the point. But as I’ve grown older I’ve realized that not just I am a lighthouse, everyone is. We all have the potential for endless light, but it is hidden often times in myself and in others by the painful experiences we go through. And yet, by even one of us being able to share light, we unconsciously allow others to do the same. ❤️
So 6 months ago I got my lighthouse tattoo. And the man who gave it to me added to its meaning. He said: remember, the lighthouse is very tall, very bright, very beautiful. But it’s purpose is to shine to help others, not to be praised. The only good reason to become someone with influence, is to influence in love. I will do my best not to forget any of this.
Thank you for reading ❤️
