This is a beautiful time of year in my city, there are all sorts of public events and seasonal decor everywhere. At the same time, as we pretty much all know, this can be a difficult and depressing time of year.
A while back, I joked with a fellow advocate of mental-health awareness that if I were to get a tattoo it would be a dopamine molecule. I have a lot of trouble with motivation, so maybe it would even help me stay motivated ha ha.
Well, I suddenly realized that for now I could just draw it in permanent marker!
And so I bring you …
“Trial tattoos” in Sharpie!
Mental-health awareness.
Left hand: dopamine molecule; serotonin molecule (neurotransmitters governing motivation and pleasure)
Right hand: semicolon (suicide awareness – inspired by Project Semicolon which someone i met on the street just told me about the other day)
Unplanned serendipitous bonus: ‘Tis the Santa season and my hand says HO HO HO
