"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future"
- Proverbs 31:25
I consider myself a strong person. I've been through a lot in life, but I tend to avoid talking about my issues as I hate being weak in front of others, which is why I don't cry often either - especially in public and of sad events. I'm not saying it's a good thing as I tend to burden myself with emotions I don't want to feel and eventually burst, but "strong" is definitely a word I often hear other people use when describing me.
Dignity is a big word that means a lot to me, as I want to consider myself as a person with dignity. I know my worth and value and refuse to be treated with any less than what it is. I have a lot of pride (maybe even too much), and I respect myself enough to walk away from any situation that no longer grows or serves me in any way.
In that way I feel that this quote of mine, originated from the Bible, describes me perfectly. I wanted to make a modified version of the extract, as I'm not exactly a biblical person. By changing "with" to "in" I feel like the meaning behind the words is a lot stronger - I am dressed in strength and dignity, not just with it.

I took my time with doing this post, since the tattoo has been really sore due to the sensitive spot in which it is in - first there was a lot of bleeding, then it bruised and now it's finally slowly starting to heal and lose all the scab that it had formed. It's still a little unbalanced in coloring, but it should be good soon.
