15 years ago, I tattooed a symbol on my left arm to remind myself to live with an open heart; to not allow the experiences of life toughen me, but instead make me gentle with myself and others. This is a big challenge, since I grew up feeling that it was painful to depend on others, to love and let them love me.
Today, I am one of the toughest people I know, which always made me proud, like I’d succeeded as a human being. But now I wonder if maybe I didn’t succeed at all, I just survived. Perhaps the essence of me is still a seed that wants to become a flower, and what it needs is love, light and tenderness.
