If people take up your time with their own shit but never actually come through for you, cut them out of your life. They don’t love you or care for you, they are using you. It’s wasted energy.

Out of my other 4 tattoos, this is my first art piece.

To put it simply; it represents the embracement of everything in it’s entirety. I believe we must love and embrace things not just for their light, and beauty, but also for their darkness and parts of them that aren’t so easy to love… because without it we wouldn’t truly know how to appreciate the good. Flaws should not decrease anyone’s worth. In fact, I find that they do quite the contrary. If you’re going to love someone, love them entire. Loving them in half will only leave you absent of what it is you truly need.

I chose to keep the wolf because it’s an animal I adore and respect. It’s fierce, protective and terrifying, yet beautiful and loyal, loving & caring all at once. Among other things of course.

Let the healing begin!

When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.

You need to know this. You need to remember this. This is not something to swept under the carpet nor be forgotten.

Never. Too many have died for the way they have loved. That needs stop now.

Make it stop?

I did a report on this in my World History class my sophomore year of high school. It was incredibly unsettling.

I have reblogged this in the past, but it is so ironic that it comes across my dash right now. I a currently working as a docent at my city’s Holocaust Education Center (( I say currently because I’ve also done research and translation for them )) and our current exhibit is one on loan from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ((USHMM)). This is a little known historical fact that Paragraph 175 was not repealed after the war and those convicted under Nazi laws as a danger to society because they were gay were not released because they had be convicted in a court of law. There was no liberation or justice for them as they weren’t considered criminals, or even victims for that matter. They were criminals who remained persecuted and ostracized and kept on the fringes of society for decades after the war had been won. Paragraph175 wasn’t actually repealed until 1994. And it was only in May 2002, that the German parliament completed legislation to pardon all homosexuals convicted under Paragraph175 during the Nazi era. History has forgotten about these men and women — please educate yourselves so this does not happen again. Remember this history. Remember them.
