in your eyes.

so i got my first tattoo today!

and i have the hugest ass explanation for why i got it.

so here we go! :)

so the symbolism behind an eye is that it is a gateway into the soul. and the reason i decided to put it so close to my feet is that i believe that who you are is very closely connected to your walk in life, and the path you choose. also, and here is where it gets a bit gay so bear with me, count olaf, the villain from a series of unfortunate events has a tattoo of an eye on his ankle as well, and he always ends up popping up in different disguises and the authorities wont interfere. this mirrors the idea that bad things will keep on happening and sometimes you have to deal with these problems on your own. also in the book the three siblings all had their own strengths and weaknesses and they had to work together to solve their problems. showing that you can depend on the people you care about, and cooperation, love, friendship, and family are all necessary in order to deal with just about anything in life. and regardless that life can seem like a "series of unfortunate events" it can also be wonderful and happy. the last connection to the book is that in the end everything is never fully explained, thus going along with the idea that you'll never be able to fully understand everything in life and that's okay it's the journey that matters. also the eyelashes are relatively pronounced as a reflection of femininity and how i embrace that idea, and also eyelashes are a way of protecting your eyes, just as they can protect your soul.
