Dearest SuperForest,
I write today telling you that I have made a commitment to myself. One that will stay with me forever. First, I would like to thank our dearest SuperForester Jon for giving me the idea and motivation to do it, albeit he doesn’t know it until he reads this! (You’ll see what I mean in a second) Second, thank you SuperForest and everyone involved for pushing me to make this choice. I today make a commitment to love. More specifically to..
In my own handwriting
At all times and moments to exude the love inside of me outwards and inwards, and all around into every living and non-living thing. And in order to remind me what reward I get from all of this (this is where Jon comes in) I shall look at this…
Reciprosity
For as long as I give, I shall receive in return. The moment I saw this design I knew I wanted it with me forever, so thanks Jon! The cycle of love forever with me, forever to remind me of its presence. In moments of frustration and anger I will be soothed and calmed. I will be able to return to state of positivity, and more importantly, strength to keep going. In times of happiness and love I will be reminded to share it with the world around me (including SuperForest of course)!
Here is my own imitation of our dearest Jackson when he got his Zero One tattoo:
That is my commitment SuperForest! And I am super SUPER excited about it!!
What’s yours?
Much love to you all,
Mathew
Waooowww(?), Mathew I admire your commitment and I really love your design choice.
Very brave of you, quite a statement!
YAY! I’m planing to do the same.
I have to thanks J. Mraz, because I was through his blog that I get to Superforest. You guys inspire me to became a better person, to be love, to be MORE eco-friendly, TO BE ME! TO ENJOY LIFE IN EVERY WAY!
Thanks a lot! =)
Always grateful. Sofi
Sorry, my english isn’t very good, I’m from Buenos Aires.
Sofia! Your English is great! Thanks for coming to SuperForest!!! Welcome! Be confident in all you do. We are alive to fail and grow by learning how to fail better..I paraphrase (butcher) a great quote, forgive me. I am so glad to hear you are having such positive experience from reading our good friend SuperForester Jason and us!!! What I am trying to say is your English is already rockin! Thanks for the comment Sofia, it made me smile a toothy grin! Much love to you!

mathew! that’s a raddddddd tat!
I love that you did the “Be LoVE” tattoo in your own handwriting! It makes it so much more personal and less generic! Great idea!
Excellent, Mathew, excellent. I’m thinking I might need to some ink soon as well…
And Sofia, welcome to SuperForest. You’re going to love it here.
Madelen – the “LoVE” was taken from my love from the Wadleigh LoVE foundation if you didn’t catch! :D
Drake – do it brother!!! :D
Drake, how no to LOVE superforest?
Mathew, you also made me smile a toothy grin!
Thanks for the welcome!

Woooohoo! When you make a commitment, you definitely do not make only half of it, Mathew!! So well chosen, the design of your tattoos! Right, my comment also applies to Jackson!
I will never say it enough: You guys – and I mean the whole team – inspire me so much (not to tatoo myself – I am way too chicken do do this! – but to simply get always more deeply commited). I am so grateful for this! ♥
Mathew! Congrats. I’m excited for you and this new chapter you’ve embarked on. Love to you!
Mat! I was distracted today when you showed me, I am sorry. I just read your post and love what you have done. it is so meaningful, so you, so inspiring.
Love the ink! Also, I have the same shirt. Blend Apparel ftw. :) And yes thank you Jason Mraz for leading me here too!
So great…. I love the way you have expressed yourself through love
LOVE this. i love that you have decided to wear a blend apparel design for the rest of your life. it’s wilder than anything i could ever imagine. thank you for sharing. for believing and for being LOVE! xo.
Marie-Eve, April, Liv, Elena, Bushwalla, & Jon thanks for the love & support! So excited!! I can already feel the subtle change in my awareness in my day to day actions and being. It is very rad. It really serves as this constant reminder to exhibit and be all I can be through love.
-Jon thanks again brother, it is an awesome privilege to be able to have with me. People tend to ask the meaning behind it more now than when it was just a shirt, which is great! Much love to you brother.
Thanks again everyone, the support I have gotten already on this new step in this wild and unbelievable journey has been so gratifying! You all rock! Sending love to all and to all a good night (Santa didn’t copyright that did he?)
Peace, love, life,
Mathew
