This tattoo came from an idea to create an image to bring together science and nature. The outline is the Mandelbrot Set, discovered by Benoit Mandelbrot in the late 70s, and often considered to be one of the first fractal images ever produced. Inside the Set is the Tree of Life as interpreted by the tattoo artist, David Hale of LoveHawk Studios in Athens, Ga. David really brought this idea to life and created an amazing image that captures what I envisioned more clearly than I thought possible. Hope you all enjoy it too!

Adventure in the great wide somewhere.

Public relations.

Each time that phrase slips from my mouth I feel a twinge of regret. The cold, stiff paper I fold between my ink fingers affirms my aversion to it. It would be false to say I’m majoring in something that I dislike; I adore reputation management. What I’m repelled by, however, is the idea everyone else has of it. Not to mention the suited-up and corporate image of me listeners concoct when I confess it.

            Public Relations is not my passion. It will not be my career. It is merely a tool that I will use to paint my life dreams, whatever they may be. I fully acknowledge and accept the dangerous and ironic nature of my thought process. Happiness does not follow a protocol as society fools us into believing so. A little bird (Oprah) once told me that 80% of people hate their jobs. Society values money, thus, it pushes us to find a source of income rather than a source of contentment. But what good is money if each day you’re dreading the next? 

       I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell. I’d like to wake up in a bed of fresh lilacs one morning and in a bale of hay the next. Curiosity is my lifeblood. Giving is my addiction. The earth beneath my feet inches toward a new culture, a new experience. It feels the tug of my heart. The world wraps its arms around me and hums a sweet lullaby. I desire to be unknown. To speak in genuine prose, flaunting my release from society’s obligatory word vomit. Most importantly, I wish to cartwheel with the lambs of Ireland and muddy myself up just enough to see the twinkle in my eyes. A corporate suit is a sure sign I’ve let my dreams wither. Forever dirt, I’ll tell myself. Forever a wanderlust heart on earth.

“I once had a thousand desires,
But in my one desire to know you
all else melted away.” — Rumi  (via anditslove)

Anorexic people are stereotyped as self-obsessed brats, who only care about looks. Obese people are stereotyped as lazy, selfish and stupid people. People with depression are stereotyped as selfish people who aren’t really sad, just faking it. People with schizophrenia are stereotyped as dramatic people who want attention. People with bipolar disorder are stereotyped who just can’t make a choice. People with anxiety are stereotyped as pathetic cowards who are to scared to better themselves. And, people with ignorance are widely accepted and considered “normal”.
