heart issue

it's amazing how two people can do the exact same thing but only one person can be justified in their action because of the state in which their heart is at.

my mom and i some how find ourselves talking about me getting a tattoo a lot. it's kind of tiring, i can't lie. because she's scared i'll regret it. and the more she talks about me regretting it, the more i'm becoming fearful of getting it. but i don't want to let that sway my decision. as we sat and talked about this today we got on the conversation about how everything goes back to the condition in which your heart is in. your motives behind doing that "thing."

like for example. sometimes i don't push myself to go to the gym because i know that the only reason i want to go is because i want to look hot. that's not the right reason. it should be me being concerned for my health that motivates me to go to the gym and eat right. or another example would be drinking alcohol. there's nothing wrong with drinking alcohol, but what is wrong when you use alcohol to medicate your problems or try to look "cool" because you're drinking.

it's just a funny thing how two people can do the exact same thing (get a tattoo, try really hard to eat right and work out, drinking... etc...) but one person has no right to be doing that thing while the other is totally justified.

it's a heart issue sort of thing.
