Regrets

The older generations look at us and say we'll regret so many things.
We'll regret our tattoos, our piercings, our music, our lifestyle.
But what they don't understand is that these things- our tattoos and piercings, our music, our art- help mind us together as a generation who's breaking the barriers.

We are the generation to enact change. We stand up for what we believe in, we rebel against the unfair stigmas that have been implemented for centuries. We are here to change the world for the better. What the older generations say we will regret are the things we will rejoice.

Our tattoos are a symbol of our individuality
Our piercings are a symbol of our strength
Our music is a symbol of our voice that demands to be heard
Our lifestyle is a symbol of change

When we are 70 years old, we will not regret the infinity tattoo on our collarbone, the industrial bar pierced in our ear. We will not regret the music we listened to or the lifestyle we chose. We will learn from everything we do, say, experience, and take those learning moments to make the world better for generations to come.

You say we'll regret what we did, but that's not the case.
We'll only regret what we were to scared to do, to try, to say.
And who wants to look back on their formative years with regrets?

Not our generation, that's for sure.
