Istijlál (Majesty), 17 Rahmat (Mercy) 176 B.E. - Thursday, July 11, 2019
PROMPT: July 11th - Do you have any tattoos or want one in the future? If you had to have a piece of art permanently on your body, what would you want it to say about you? I don't have a tattoo. I know people with tattoos and most of the tattoos are nice looking pieces of art. I've never wanted a tattoo, until this week. Right now, I want to run away from my life, and get a dragon, unicorn, or butterfly tattoo. I want to run away and never look back, which isn't going to happen. The tattoos, if I could afford one would probably happen. And again it might not, I'm a very conservative person and spending money for body art might not be something I would do when I'm not pissed or depressed. At this point, I'm not sure whether I'm pissed, depressed, or a little bit of both. I'll figure that out sometime today or tomorrow. This afternoon I've got a doctor's appointment, with one of my specialist. Since the home test he wants me to take hasn't arrived yet, it means that I'll probably have another appointment with him or his assistant when it comes, I take it, and send it back to the lab. This means I won't be running away until next month. I might wait and decide if I'm running away after I get a pair of new shoes or find the shoes I packed away when I moved and now can't find. Perhaps I'll wait to run away until I have to move again before deciding to run away. Telling myself I'm running away instead of moving sounds like much more fun. |
