It’s 6 am, I can’t sleep...but it does give me time to think. And I realized something...since tumblr is great for anonymity, i don’t mind sharing. Me and my two brothers have tattoos. I’lol start from the oldest, my oldest brother has a tattoo of the alchemy symbol from FMA (the one that looks like a mix between a cross and a question mark, with a crown on it)and he has a particular vibe about him that he on occasion shares that in his heart, his feelings of brotherly love and their bonds, are very much like Edward Elric. In other words, the power of bonds and the people who create it. The middle brother, has a tattoo of a geisha, while simply beautiful at surface view, also reflect his need to improve oneself. He’s not alone or anything but I feel he perfectly represents a man who feels the best way to do something is done when it’s done by ones own hand. In other words, the power of oneself. (Perhaps not the perfect analogy, but if you met him in person, the message stands true 😅)And then there’s me, I have a tattoo of the Anbu Black ops symbol from Naruto, you don’t have to believe me, but I got it for 2 perfect reasons, 1. To bring a beautiful end to my childhood. (I got it when I was 18 or so) and 2. Because to me, it also means strength, whether alone or in numbers. Because the Anbu are close, alone they’re still incredibly strong, but together, almost unstoppable. At first I thought the trinity between me and my brothers (alone, shared bonds, and a fusion of both) was only just a weird coincidence, but maybe it isn’t. I’ve always believed everything happens for a reason and I have a million stories that are testament to that fact. Maybe this is one of them. Definitely gives me a reason to keep moving forward and to give my brothers a reason to do the same. Just wanted to share all that. I don’t know what you will take from this, but either way, still something to think about.
