use your head(don't be stupid like me)

In life, our every choice, will somehow affect out lives. Some in tiny ways, some ih hugemongous ways.
Example. In my youth, when I was young and foolish(22), I got a tattoo. Seemed like a great idea at the time. Honeslty, it didn't really hurt when I got it, I took care of it until it healed, and pretty much just forgot that it was there.
Until recently, I started to feel some pain, around the general area. And then I began to feel some itching, and then a whole lot more of the pain.
So, I called the lovely people at a local tat shop. And do you want to know what they told me?? I am allergic to my tattoo! What the frig. NObody warned me about this, nobody told me that I would be allergic to myself. So, here I am now, older and all the more wiser(so it's only been a year), and I am permantly allergic to myself.
One choice, I made in my youth, whose consequences I will carry with me for the rest of my life in the form of a Montreal Canadians symbol on my lower back.
I can't take back a lot of the decisions I have made in my life. They are done, the choice has been made,and the consequences will be suffered. But everyday, I am still making choices, and you want to bet that I am thinking them thru a whole lot more. Because I for one am sick of the regretting things, and I want to be able to look back on my life and be satisfied with the choices that I have made.
So, to sum it all up, don't ever get a tattoo. And use ure head for more than a mullet stand.
And if you don't know Jesus, and you don't believe in God, think this thru, cause where some decisions you make will haunt you for life, the reprocusions of rejecting God is much more eternal. Use your head.

    Hey Lisa, I can't imagine being allergic to myself, and I'm sorry to hear that you have to go through all of that. But the lesson learned here is a permanent one. It's kind of scary when you think that almost all of the decisions we make are permanent, we can't go back on some things. What has been done in the past remains in the past and can come back and drive us nuts. I'm just thankful that God forgives us when we do stupid things and that he gives us clean slates and second chances to get right with him.
