I got a random tattoo the other day. it's a red triangle, which makes everyone think i'm arty, which i'm not. i used to draw red triangles all the time. it must mean something - maybe i don't know it yet. but i'll figure it out.

Tattoo Mean Thinking

More From Ellie Goulding

You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.

Maybe it’s my own fault. maybe i led you to believe it was easy when it wasn’t. maybe i made you think my highlights started at the free throw line, and not in the gym. maybe i made you think that every shot i took was a game winner. that my game was built on flash, and not fire. maybe it’s my fault that you didn’t see that failure gave me strength; that my pain was my motivation. maybe i led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift, and not something i worked for every single day of my life. maybe i destroyed the game. or maybe you’re just making excuses.

What we've said to the girls is: 'if you guys ever decide that you're going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place.' and we'll go on youtube and show it off as a family tattoo.

My tattoo is of a cannon in vancouver that i got in a fleeting moment of stupidity maybe 14 years ago. a lot of people have really beautiful tattoos, and i get real tattoo envy. but then other people basically just treat them like bumper stickers for their bodies.

If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.

I draw all the time. drawing is my backbone. i don't think a painter has to be able to draw, i just think that if you draw, you better draw well.

I rarely get the "annie hall" references other than from people who are aficionados of movies, people who really care about movies. but in general, people don't even think about it.

I've got an age that i do think of myself.

People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. if you read, you can learn to think for yourself.

I observed once to goethe that when a friend is with us we do not think the same of him as when he is away. he replied, "yes! because the absent friend is yourself, and he exists only in your head; whereas the friend who is present has an individuality of his own, and moves according to laws of his own, which cannot always be in accordance with those which you form for yourself.
