The arrow is my artifact. It's such an important symbol in my life and is basically the reoccurring image throughout this entire website. I once read this quote somewhere: "An arrow can be shot only by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great." After reading this, there were so many things that were relatable in my life and that's why I chose to get it inked on my body.
One of my high school teachers noticed that I was very competitive and that I constantly compared myself to other people. Trying to get me out of that habit, she told me her view on life and how she was a strong believer in positive energy. She told me that it's important to help others because keeping information from other people isn't going to help me in any way. If I were to share the information, not only am I giving myself good karma but I'm also educating others for the better. I now live my life like an open book because there should be nothing to hide. You never know if your experiences can help someone else or if that one way of doing a math problem can boost up someone else's grade. Throughout this conversation, I was constantly picturing an arrow because it symbolized the person that I want to become, the positive attitude that I want to have, and the idea of starting everything with good vibes.
