Resolution One: Complete.

So before January was even in full swing I had completed one of my resolutions for 2014! One which I thought would take a while, but after going round my friends one afternoon we decided it was just perfect timing. I think it was one of the most spontaneous things I've ever done in my entire life! (pure crazy for me)

My First Tattoo.

I got my first tattoo! It was totally crazy. At the time I was so up for getting it done because I had actually contemplated this for a good 3 years and I was always certain that I would eventually get it. Me and my best friend got them together, and I went first. 

Now everyone always asks the same thing: "Did it hurt?!". Well I can proudly say YES it hurt like a bitch. The guy doing it did turn to me and say "That's going to nip a bit love" but I was just like yeah okay lets do this. I went first and literally just stared at my best friend while squishing her hand and trying to make conversation, I couldn't look! It would have made the pain so much worse! I did take pleasure from watching her get hers done! (There was a lot of swearing, hehe)

The bravest thing I had to do that day was not actually the tattoo, but going home and telling my parents about it. They just thought I was going to visit a friend for the afternoon, they did not expect their daughter to come home with a bandage round her wrist and nappy cream in her bag. I just went straight into it. Told them exactly what I had done. After a few grumbles and annoyed expressions they soon came round. In all fairness I am 19 and living away from home months at a time, I am a mature adult (its what I tell them but they don't need to know otherwise!). 

Now the other thing my parents were confused about was why I got a peace sign. I hate to be one of those people but I actually did just really like peace signs when I was younger. Part of me will always want to be a hippy and a wild child but sometimes (unfortunately) we do have to be realistic. After thinking about it more, since getting my tattoo, it came to me that the real reason why I like this sign is because I do want peace, but in my own life. I want to be happy and content and for me this tattoo will always be a constant reminder of that, keeping me on track. My best friend also got the same symbol, it is something we can look at to remind ourselves of each other and how important that person is in our lives. Without her I know I would never have gotten through a lot of things in my life. She's my rock and gives me peace.

One resolution done! Only a few more to go, but those are long term, so I hope you continue with me on my journey.
