Poll: Which wording for tattoo?

rider5344

BFF is a recovering addict. She is also a huge fan of "A Perfect Circle" They have a song called either "I Rose" or "Rose". To celebrate her recovery she was going to get a tattoo of a beautiful rose with nasty thorns and the quote "I rose, I roared, I will, I am" She has recently become more spiritual and wants it to be attuned to that. Which would you use?

I like the fourth one. I think the "I" language in that statement is empowering, especially since your friend has done so much hard work to fight addiction.

Thanks! That English major is finally good for something.

I really like the 4th option. While I know many attribute their strength to a "higher power" I really think she needs to pay homage to her own strength. I don't feel it takes anything away from her spirituality.

Agree. I wasn't sure from the original post if her friend ascribed to any particular faith system, but even she did she needs to honor her strength.
