My Words
Every word can tell a story, what matters is who speaks it

The first picture for my 365 Day Photo Challenge.
Its the ending of my tattoo and it means a lot to me. The whole phrase is Hopefully you dream and if you do may they be wonderful and I love it for my own reasons, but the end itself is important separately.
Instead of a period as I initially planned I told the artist to end it with an acorn. This is the norse symbol for life and growth (as I have found) and so it means two things for me. It means this tattoo and those words are going to be with me for life and eternity, in meaning and physically. It also symbolizes to me my connection with Alex, because one of the things we initially started talking about and bonded over was the norse religion.
I’ve since learned that acorns were used to figure out if a couple would stay together, to keep significant others faithful, and were carried to keep away old age as well as other things.
