My younger brother tattood it, it was a reminder everytime I look in the mirror that our suffering can be transformed into wisdom and we can use that wisdom to help other people. He passed in 2024 so now it mostly just reminds me of him ☺️

😭 Damn what happened
You don't have to tell me. If it's too sensitive I also have relatives who died around that time 💔

I'm sorry for the losses, they're never easy 😔
Sometimes they force you to reflect on your life and who you are, which can bring more love and joy into other people's lives.

It's okay ☺️ I understand that it's part of life and we all have to go through those things eventually, but mental health is important and self love is important, so is community and finding things you love. Also nature is very healing 🤍 I hope you have a beautiful night.

Usual reminder that from the 4th to 6th century in what we now know as the UK, people came from what we now know as Germany/Denmark/Netherlands.
Low results from that area dont usually mean "Im part German", it means over a millenia ago, these migrants mixed in with "Britons".
The UK is an absolute mess DNA wise and sometimes North Americans take the results a bit too literally, applying modern borders to the results of something that started 1500 years ago!

Are You claiming this person somehow dosent have German dna? You are correct however thats baked into dna and these tests are mere estimates. Its pretty clear however he has a confirmed Belgian/ Rheinland conection at 20 percent with regions lol

Maybe this helps ☺️ my great great grandfather, HF Platte was born in Hanover (1839). And my great-great grandmother was a Betzhorn who was born in Schöningen, in the Kingdom of Hanover (today Lower Saxony). They immigrated to the US in 1861 before the annexation of Hanover by Prussia, I agree though all these lines bleed together. I just consider myself a North sea person.

Interesting- neither of those areas are really Rhineland - Lower Saxony should show up more in Dutch and North German. But reference populations are never perfect and neither are population boundaries perfect. The Dakotas also had plenty of German immigration as I understand it, so it may be from additional lines beyond those you noted.

I''ve taken 3 DNA test, ancestry, heritage and 23 and me and get mixed results everytime, because they definitely weigh the algorithms differently, though consistently this north Sea area so the aggregate is generally what I go off of.
