The original story of the little mermaid is that she must kill the prince in order to be human, and in the end, she loves him too much and kills herself instead.

I don’t need this. Those comments you keep slipping into the conversation? They’re harsh and unforgiving and targeted to hurt me and I lose more and more respect for you every time you say something. I understand you don’t agree with my decisions and the people that I surround myself with, but you have to realize that I can’t always make my decisions with your happiness in mind. I need to start doing what makes me happy. I have to make my own mistakes, I have to form my own opinions, and I have to be the one in control of who I’m close with. And I need you to let me do this without your past inhibiting me. I know that family comes first, but what am I supposed to do when it’s my own family cutting me down?

My name is Rachel Lewis. This is my first tattoo, I got it on my left lower thigh of a Infinity sign with a special twist, of it being a tentacle. I’m so happy with it. I got it done May 23, 2012. By Dom, at Resurrection Ink in Savannah, GA.
