these tattoos that you don’t understand, think of them like this. you do a bunch of stuff that should have killed you, and you come to a sort of realization about it all and make some pretty drastic changes. and then, without warning, you are *this* close to dying again.

“memento mori”
“memento vivere”

remember these things. you must die, you must live. do your best every time you can, don’t lie in the cesspool of doubt you would love to sink in.
