Maybe I have been a little guilty of closing myself and being a little too private over certain events and situations over the last few years. Time to start letting go. Of course the secrets are still close to my heart but maybe, just maybe it is okay to let people have a sneak peak.
Since I have gotten my tattoo, people naturally have been asking why the number 7. To be honest, I have been giving half truths to all. It is still true 7 was partly influenced by a nickname given to a group of us, the 7AM Gang. It is also true that 7 is quite a lucky good number. Another minor truth was 7 is a pretty significant number in all cultures (7 deadly sins, 7 world wonders, etc.). All these were partial truths which DID influence the number 7.
But the real, genuine truth which perhaps dominated the influence of the number 7 tattoo is related to something very close to my heart. The number is part of the date (October 7, 2004) my best friend died after a fatal hit-and-run accident, he rides a motorbike. Funny enough, we were "brothers" for 7 years before he passed on.
I am not going to go further about us. It is not necessary. That part will forever remain private. But there you go, the real truth behind the number 7 tattoo.
P.S. Refer to the "The Truth is Out" entry.
