I've been thinking for a while about tattoos I want to get, and fitting tributes to people I know who have died [or will in the future] ... I think I've determined that up the outside of my right leg I want to gradually get a trail of stars. I'll probably start down at my ankle. The bigger the star, the closer the person was to me (family, etc) maybe since I don't want them all to be exactly the same size anyway.
I still need to work out some of the details, but I wouldn't be looking to start on that tomorrow anyway. Whenever I start, though, I have at least 3 family members to add stars on my leg for already. Plus, I would most likely include two smaller ones for two kids who were my neighbours when I was little and were shot by their mom when I was 14. They had moved from my neighbourhood a few years before that, but we were close when they lived on my street, and the incident very deeply affected me. They deserve a way to be remembered--a tribute of sorts--especially since their lives were cut so short at 17 and 11 (I believe) years.

Thank Goodness
I surrounded myself with idiots for a while, and it was driving me crazy. I'm so glad that the friends I seek to spend my time with now are people who actually use their brains and can succeed in making me think as well.

Dreams
I hate feeling like my dreams and goals are sidelined.
It's not intentional, I know, but I can't move forward with them until step one is out of the way...and we've been working toward that for over a year now with no progress, so I don't see any of my other dreams getting closer.
For ten months of it I was fine because I had something to happily look forward to upon awakening each day...a job I genuinely enjoyed, surrounded by great coworkers who quickly became friends. For those few months, I would have actually been SAD to leave, because for once things were amazing.
And then that had to come to an end, as all great things do. And now, it's a job I dread. Yes, I have family here, but some of them are extremely critical, which you know I can't stand. Yes, I have friends here, but they come and go...at least I'm making more.
I just need things to speed up. So I can get to my dreams. переводчица. жена. фотографа.
