I'm not sure if I mentioned this once before, so pardon me if I'm repeating myself. I have a tattoo on my upper arm of the Hindu symbol of 'Om'. I thought it was cool and deep when I got it in 1998, and perfectly fitting with my whole life with my then partner who was a Hindu from Sri Lanka, and a journey I was taking into Eastern religions. I didn't regret it at all, until I left him in October 2006. Now, I have this relic on my arm and it feels odd especially since I met my great love Humberto in June of this year. Maybe one day, if I have extra money, I'll have it lasered off. I'm not really feeling the mysticism of the 'Om' anymore. I've lost interest in it all, to be honest. Hard feelings perhaps, of how things turned out with my ex. I want to move on. If it was Mickey Mouse or a flower-wrapped tamborine, I'd be perfectly fine with it. But because it's written in my ex's language (Tamil) it is a constant reminder.
