Sort of depressing.
But on a happy note I got a new tattoo. Since I got the one on my right wrist on 06/06/06 I had to get one today as well. I was planning on a small scarab on my ankle. Well that is not what I got. I have a beautiful scarab on the middle of my back. It flows really well with the ankh. Sort of like it is coming out form the top of it. The colors are wonderful. 7 colors to go along with the day. Even more symbolism.
Now the scarab means many things, and I originally decided on it as a symbol of good luck to go with the 7’s but it also means renewal of life. The Egyptians believed the the scarab represented the self-created God Khepri. So it was looked upon as a symbol of creation, renewal, and resurrection. My first tattoo was an effort for me to feel alive and in control of my out of control world. While I know I can not control everything, I can learn and grow from the past. I have renewed my confidence in myself, and re-created my life in such a way that I am happy and content. I have wonderful friends, great hobbies, and more confidence in myself then I have ever had. I don’t need anyone to make me happy or make my life full. I make myself happy. I socialize, I read, I run, and I my life is so full I that when I think about the past I see how empty parts of it really were. So this new art goes along with the old.
Life, Protection, Luck, and Renewal. 4 tattoos, 4 meanings.
