15 tattoos I'd consider getting

So I'm not saying that I am going to get a tattoo anytime soon, but the thought does cross my mind every now and then. So here are some of the thoughts that have crossed my mind.

  1. Smokey says resist (with Smokey the Bear). This image just brought me hope during this administration and not a ton does that.
  2. An alligator. You had to know this would be on the list. 
  3. When you're going through Hell, keep going. I find this inspiring.
  4. The Chicago flag. I'm a Chicago girl, through and through.
  5. Holly (the plant). It is my name so I feel like it would be very appropriate.
  6. An alpaca. These fluffy creatures of snuggled their way into my heart.
  7. In the future, my kids' and grandkids' names. Mostly I think it would be fun to embarrass them.
  8. I have been, and always shall be, your friend. Star Trek feels.
  9. 34. Everyone must know the number that haunts me.
  10. Lilac. I just think it looks so pretty and almost always makes me smile.
  11. SSDGM. This podcast has meant a lot to me.
  12. Claddagh ring. I wear mine everyday because it makes me smile so having a tattoo of it could be nice.
  13. Nevertheless, she persisted. Makes me feel strong and rebellious in the best way.
  14. An opal. I just think they're beautiful.
  15. Girl scout logo. The scouts influenced so much of who I am today.

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
