“The creative adult is the child who survived”
This is a quote by a wonderful author named Ursula K. Le. Guin. I had a very rough childhood, and this tattoo is to remind myself of all I have overcome. I got this done by a totally rad lady named Nadine Morris at Atattooed in Westerville, Ohio. This is my first tattoo!
“I wanted to give a snapshot. I think what a lot of people felt about the tone of the epilogue was, ‘So this is it, so it’s over, so he’s not a hero anymore, he’s a sort of middle-aged man… It felt like a let-down.’ But I have said this before: for me, absolute heroism is rebuilding after that kind of trauma. And I could think of nothing more noble than that he’s acting what Dumbledore preached but didn’t live. So you see, Dumbledore preached, ‘these are the values that see us through, that survive, love and those sort of human bonds,’ and Harry’s actually living it. So he was always the guy to me who had it thrust upon him […] and the fact that he had the chance to have his finger on the nuclear button, as it were, he had the chance to own this most powerful wand, and he said, ‘No, I want that one, I want my own and I want to break the chain.’”
