Yeah that’s not true. It did begin in prison, but it’s because prisoners aren’t allowed belts, so their pants sag. Prisoners aren’t usually “willing,” it’s more like “raped.”
I’ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.

“Peculiar”
Words are a passion of mine. All words. But for some reason, peculiar stands out to me the most. The definition of the word is the meaning of the word, and I find that to be extremely interesting. Especially since it also describes me so perfectly.
I’m a writer, studying Literature at UCSB CCS, and because of this I thought it was the perfect choice for a tattoo.
It’s a single word that can describe who I am in my entirety, while have a lot more meaning behind it. Life is peculiar. Love is peculiar. There isn’t a single thing in the world that isn’t peculiar in one way or another.
Even the spelling of the word peculiar is peculiar.I chose the font for a similar reason. That being that I’m a writer, but also because I have a fascination with typewriters. I’m a sucker for antiques. I’m a sucker for what used to be. I love modern technology, but I find something so precious about the past.
At the moment, I plan on having only words for tattoos. It may change sometime in the future, but for now that’s what I’m feeling.
I don’t understand. Yes, the definition of the word is the meaning of the word. That’s what definitions are.
