“🎶. . .Where were you when everything was fallin' apart? All my days were spent by the telephone, that never rang and all I needed was a call, that never came to the corner of First and Amistad. . .🎵” You found me, The Fray

Re-posting this semicolon ( ; ) tattoo sesh 5 years ago with Donvitto of the Living Temple Tattoo shop. The semicolon as described by Webster is a punctuation mark used mainly to coordinate functions between major sentences. A writer chooses to use a semicolon to continue a sentence instead of using a period to end it. And to a few, the humble semicolon is meant to give them hope to keep on living. Cause oftentimes all need is someone who would listen unfeigned.

Life has been callous; hope seemed fleeting; and headspace is as negative as it can get —moments of wanting to cease from existence. Drift away to satisfy the need for freedom from pain — in all forms. Indulge in silence because no matter how loud you scream no one seems to listen; no one seems to care. We bury our scars underneath our existence, those that we thought might fade as time passes, we forget but we still carry them, festering inside just waiting for the trigger.

This little ( ; ) tedious as it is, gives me that minute relief that insignificant as I am maybe just maybe life is still worth living. Optimism sometimes gets overshadowed by pessimism. Yet, HOPE isn’t fully out of reach. It’s okay to feel lost and afraid because your feelings are valid. Life isn’t always filled with rainbows and unicorns. Despite the negativity, the GOOD will always outweigh the bad; no matter how dark it maybe the sun always rises. And life will always be beautiful.

I hope that someone finds comfort in knowing that life was designed by God for us to live in its fullest. Just know that you are not alone. You are worthy of all the good the universe offers. You are enough in every fiber of your being; you are loved by God and those lives you have touched. Your mere existence is a light to someone else. And their lives would not have been the same without you.

Chin up love, you are doing just fine. 💚

Semicolon (;) . . . Mainly used as a punctuation mark to separate two major sentences. . . . But to other people and myself this is a symbol of hope for us who are suffering within. An emotional and mental struggle that not all can understand. To have feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, and allowing darkness to consume you. That feeling of wanting to fade into oblivion and finding solace in the thought of not feeling anything. But, we choose to fight and never stop fighting. Because life is too beautiful to allow ourselves to succumbed to cruel people who makes living lose its purpose. . . . There’s a story behind every face you meet. Nothing everything is what it seems. Be sensitive and think before you speak and act. Be kind. . . . To the one reading this who share the same sentiments I have, remember, You are worthy. You are beautiful. You are enough. You are stronger than you think. And you deserve to live your life. . . . @13reasonswhy @chesterbe @linkinpark @chriscornellofficial @audioslaveofficial @anthonybourdain @robinwilliams @katespadeny @donvitotattoo . . #semicolontattoo #smalltattoos #2ndtattoo #donvitotattoo #philippines🇵🇭 #fuckdepression #mentalhealthawareness #semicolontattooproject✍💉
