Once Upon a Time

This is Ginny's tattoo.

The tattoo is French for "Once Upon A Time".

Initially, I wanted the phrase "that was then" but a friend suggested this phrase and I fell in love with it. It's simple yet deep. It's exactly what I wanted.

It reminds me not to dwell on the past. It happened, once upon a time, but it's not what's going on right now. It keeps my head up and looking towards the future.
