let go of regrets

at home after cleaning it

my favorite band ever-of-all-time is 311. 

they have a line in their song "all mixed up" that goes: 

"you've got to trust your instincts and let go of regrets". 

i've always loved that line because i regret 

74% of the things i do, wondering if i did the right thing.

for years i've pictured the line tattooed on me. 

i put EXTRA THOUGHT into it because i'm extremely picky 

about everything handwriting so, after about five different 

placement possibilities and 15+ font ideas, i was finally ready.

i went in, looked over the drawing and said "let's do this!". 

upon getting home and washing it off afterwards, i noticed it 

wasn't as perfect as i had thought it was. 

the font is the same, but the top line of the tattoo 

is more condensed than the bottom line (AKA the pretty line). 

i don't hate the top line, but they should be the same!!! 

i'm obviously still bitter about it and i am self conscious showing it to people.

this is my 11th tattoo, one would think i'd know better to

examine every aspect of the drawing. well, now you do. 

but like that tat says, i gotta just let it go!

long story short: i'm not happy with it.

close-up you can really see the difference. hmf
