The kiss of death.
This astonishing sculpture forms part of Barcelona’s Poblenou Cemetery. The Kiss of Death (El Petó de la Mort in Catalan and El beso de la muerte in Spanish) dates back to 1930. A winged skeleton bestows a kiss on the lips of a handsome young man: is it ecstasy on his face or resignation? Little wonder the sculpture elicits strong and varying responses from whoever gazes upon it.
I got this Tattoo after my twin brother died. He committed suicide after three tours in the Middle East with the US Army. I had his name badge tattooed right where I put my hand over my heart for the Pledge of Allegiance. Every pledge is a tribute to his service and sacrifice.
Stop bringing back my past and stop comparing me of who I use to be in the past. I learned from my mistakes. I won’t make the same mistakes again. I changed my ways and I changed myself to become a better person. Maybe you might see this change of me a bad thing but I can’t always stay the same and I won’t stay the same just because you don’t like it. Accept me for me even if I changed. You don’t like it then just walk away.
And then you feel horrible about it later
