life will not break your heart

This is Autumn's tattoo.

This is a quote from Henry Rollins that I found many years ago. The reason I fell in love with it is that it can swing both ways. You can look at it in a cynical light and say to yourself - yes, life will bleed me dry OR you can look at it in the way that you've lived so great that you have crushed every last drop. It's a favorite of mine so I thought I would share.

Believe me when I tell you
Life will not break your heart
It'll crush it

- Henry Rollins, Blues Jam
