My fav quote tattooed

I got a meaningful tattoo " i promise", "Godspeed" with butterflies. Sometimes letting go of something or someone you truly loved is really hard & that's okay.

Sometimes you need to protect your peace more than theirs, but i promise i will forever be there if you needed me. Because no matter how upset or disappointed people make me feel. I promise to always love with the purest heart and will wish them the best despite the pain of the separation. I hope wherever you go you find what you're looking for. I thank God for allowing me to meet you on the way.

Godspeed, always.

... Read moreMany people ask about the meaning behind my 'Godspeed' tattoo, and it's a story I love to share, as it resonates with so many. The phrase 'Godspeed' itself carries a beautiful weight, often used as a farewell, wishing someone a safe and successful journey, or simply good fortune. It's an old English expression, rooted in wishing divine protection and prosperity upon someone as they embark on something new, whether it's a physical journey or a new chapter in life. For those considering a 'Godspeed' tattoo, like the one I chose, the meaning can be incredibly personal and multifaceted. It's not just about saying goodbye; it’s about acknowledging a transition, a letting go, and simultaneously extending wishes of well-being. It can symbolize moving on from a difficult relationship, a period of grief, or even a past version of oneself, while still holding love and good intentions for what was. Just as the OCR captured, the idea is to truly "come get a meaningful tattoo" that speaks to your soul, and 'Godspeed' certainly does for many. Beyond the literal farewell, a 'Godspeed' tattoo can represent hope for the future, an acceptance of change, and a belief in the journey ahead, whatever it may bring. For some, it might be a memorial to a loved one who has passed on, a way to send them off with love and wishes for their eternal journey. For others, it's a reminder to keep moving forward, to embrace new beginnings with courage and optimism, knowing that even after profound experiences, there's always a path ahead. The choice of accompanying imagery, like the butterflies I chose, can further deepen this meaning, symbolizing transformation, new life, and freedom that comes with letting go. Ultimately, a 'Godspeed' tattoo is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the enduring power of love, even in separation. It’s a quiet promise to oneself to navigate life's changes with grace, to protect one's inner peace, and to always wish the best for others, no matter the circumstances. It's a powerful and constant reminder etched on the skin, embodying a profound philosophy of life.

I can’t get over this quote!
The book itself was a really good read (definitely not for kids though…) but the author for sure has an amazing way with words. It’s a fantasy novel in the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning called “High Voltage” and if I can find the other books, I am totally getting them!

I absolutely love this quote, even though it took me out of the story the first time I read it because I was confused—why did a fox have a point of view in the book? But now, it’s my favorite! This graphic was made by Tea with Tolken. You should definitely give her a follow. #lotrquote #shireco
