“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
This tattoo on my forearm is not only a direct quote from my favourite book, Into The Wild by John Krakauer, but it also rings very true to me.
It’s a reminder to myself.
Many times when I’ve been hurting and hating on the world I would isolate myself from people who love and care for me.
I use to go and do things by myself, which most people should never do alone. Things that usually made me happy and I always kind of wondered why I wasn’t happy doing them anymore.
Then after reading the words ‘Happiness only real when shared’ it struck a cord inside me, and it’s been my favourite quote since.
