The lotus is a beautiful flower. It starts to grow in murky water and towards to the light of the ponds surface rising so perfect and clean. This represents a symbol of fortune in Buddhism: “rising and blooming above the murk to achieve enlightenment.” I got this tattoo to represent my spiritual awakening. To recognize my divine beauty for life. For the purity of my body, my mind and purifying of the spirit which was in the murkiness for a period of time.. The mud represents a great importance. All humans have a time in their lives where there is a deal of suffering. This suffering is a vital part of the human experience. It makes us stronger and teaches us to resist the temptation of evil thoughts from our mind. Once overcome, we are able to break free and become one with Buddha. With symbolizing struggle, beauty of simplicity, overcoming difficulties, and most importantly my drastic changes in life; The lotus represents and welcomes me.

She is lost. She doesn’t know where to go. She’s inside a maze, that she herself has made. She walk left and right but the maze just keep on changing. She sat on one corner and cry. Her eyes filled with tears, heart filled with fears because she can’t escape to the maze she has made. She opens her eyes, a hand reach out to her, a guy in light says “don’t cry, I’ll never let go”. She smiled and all of a sudden she saw the exit, and the end someone waits, her happy ending.

Before she became a reknowned poet, Maya Angelou did indeed get her singing groove on. But I prefer her here, in full effect.
