I’ve been battling depression for the past year, and have come to the realization that I put so much pressure on myself and set unrealistic expectations that only get me down. I got this tattoo as a reminder to myself that I am only human and that I have to make mistakes. Disappointing others is inevitable, and happiness is my main priority now.
It is very simple, but it says “GIVEN TO FLY”
it is a song by Pearl Jam and the lyrics stand out to me
“He floated back down ‘cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, fuckers
He still stands
And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly”
rather than turning the pain we have to endure into pain and bitterness we should convert it into love to bring other people happiness.
