New Tattoo + Updates on my so called life

I had my third tattoo done last night. It feels kinda like the first, tho, because it's the first "visible" one (the other two are much larger, but hidden). For those of you having trouble figuring out what it is, it's The Serenity Prayer.









"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, Courage to change the things i can, and Wisdom to know the difference."

This prayer has existed for ages but I only recently came across it, and I thought it was the most profound prayer I've ever read. It basically tackles the most difficult lesson I have had to learn: That some things, no matter how hard we try, are beyond our control; we have to know when to let go or when to fight.

I put it somewhere I can always see so I'll always be reminded that, when I hurt and things don't go the way I hoped they would, I know that ultimately, it's gonna be ok.
