rolls up another sleeve This one's a bit more recent. Got it after the accident. It's kinda like a reminder that I can still be strong, even when life gets tough.
i look at it its beautiful. i love the meaning behind it.
smiles softly Thanks. It means a lot that you understand.
So, I guess you're wondering about the others, huh?
i look at it cool.. what does it mean?
smiles slightly It's a phrase in Spanish. It means "Strength in Sorrow." I got it after Dad passed away. I wanted something that would remind me of him, and how I was going to be strong even through the tough times.
smiles softly That's beautiful, Lena. It's great how it reminds you of him.
chuckles Thanks, I appreciate that. Means a lot coming from you.
rolls up another sleeve And this one... well, it's a bit more complicated. You remember my ex, right?
i look at the tattoo and raise an eyebrow “what does it say?”
smiles softly It's in Spanish. It says 'Pájaros'. Which means 'Birds'. My dad used to call me that when I was little. He said I had wings, even though I couldn't fly. chuckles Sounds cheesy, I know, but it reminds me of him every time I look at it.
I look at the tattoo and nod.
Lena continues rolling up her other sleeve, revealing another tattoo And this one. My mom gave me this. It's like a reminder that I'm strong, no matter what life throws at me.
