Today, I finally got my semicolon tattoo. I have waited years for this moment. Originally, I planned on using a tattoo to cover up my self-harm scar. But as I grew to accept its presence, I also changed my idea. I stumbled across the semicolon project a few years ago, and I have been waiting to get mine ever since. So now, I stand here today, proudly showing off my tattoo; nestled close to my scar. I hope many more tattoos will come in the future, but this one will always remain special to me, not just because of the meaning behind it.
For those of you who don’t know, the semicolon is a place in the sentience where the author could have stopped, but they chose to go on. The tattoo represents a moment in your life when you could have stopped, but you chose to go on. And I chose life, and I continue to chose life every day. Maybe one day I will not, and I will succumb to depression, but for today, I choose life.
