This was another blog idea I had found and decided to discuss. The blog idea was to write about your favorite quote of all time. I like so many that are out there that it is hard to pinpoint exactly which one would be it. I thought I would talk about the ones on my body, seeing as how they are their permanently and I get tired of people asking me what all my tattoos mean... The first one says that "No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky" and that is by Bob Dylan. To me, it comes at a home when I was not at my best, personal wise, and served as a reminder of our limitations. Freedom is a fleeting illusion that escapes us all and we see the birds, wishing we could fly away like them, but they can't get much higher than the sky above either and that's where it all goes to shit. I guess, we can now travel to the moon or something but that's another discussion for another time. I also have two under-boob tattoos where one says "Freedom" and on the other side it says "Eleutheromania." That second word basically means freedom, but the actual definition is "a great desire for or obsession with freedom." That ties to this quote because we all want freedom but can true freedom actually be achieved? I mean, like, really? The other "quote" I have is actually just from these lyrics by Kid Cudi, from a song called "Sky Might Fall." I have the words "The sky might be falling, but remember you can fly" tattooed on my left side. I was a bit more hopeful with this quote. I took it to mean as even if things seem to suck in life, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and there is always a way around things to make them better. I still don't believe there will ever be true freedom in the world, but you can always make due with what you got and experience the pure bliss you've always wanted out of life, until you die, and maybe there will be some freedom there. Sometimes, I get down on myself but I listen to that song and I try to think more positively about my situation and I realize that trouble don't last always. I might feel like shit now but tomorrow, or sometime in the future, I might not even remember that feeling or experience as intensely anymore. Silver linings, people, silver linings.
