Never A Failure...

So yesterday, after much deliberation I had some new ink added to my collection.
I opted to scar into my skin a replica of Rihanna's tattoo "Never a Failure, Always a Lesson"

A saying rather close to my heart at this present time. After my recent struggle with a depressive episode, I wanted something that I would be able to take strength from whenever I was to see it.

The ink is on my ribs. I place where only I shall be able to view it, making it all the more personal.

We all have a tendency to feel that we fail at one stage in our lives but as the saying goes, we must learn from these failures and always see a positive rise from the mistakes that we make. For how else are we meant to grow as individuals...

In order to build up a muscle we must first break it a little at a time, and rebuild, making it stronger each time. The same applies to people.

A good motto to live by, I feel.

Ego

Resentment and bitterness. Where lonely hearts dwell. Packed up in memories. Living a life more like hell. Look inward and see for yourself. Happiness is earned not a right.

Would You Want To Spend The Rest Of Your Life With Yourself?

To make a long story a lot shorter I am not the sort of person I would like to spend the rest of my life with. I have many flaws which are both irritating and down right rude.
