So, This Is Strange. I Had Forgotten This Account Ever Existed And It’s Tempting To Deactivate It For

Wanted to post a WIP of a possible tattoo I’d like to get. Still experiencing difficulty in finalizing a design for the feather and arrow. Not to mention deciding upon color or not. But I’m happy with it’s current route.

Lemon Syrup

Lemons- happiness, vitality, friendship, rejuvenation, clarity, cleansing, healing, protection, solar energy.

Sugar- sweetness in life, happiness, attraction.

You'll need enough lemons to make 1/2 cup of squeezed lemon juice. For me, that was 3 lemons.

Before juicing them, separate the zest (the bright yellow part of the peel, not the white pith underneath, which will make your syrup bitter).

Then juice the lemons, and add to a pot with 3/4 to 1 cup of white sugar.

Let it boil, and once it does, reduce the boil to a simmer for 10 minutes. If you think the syrup is not thick enough, add more sugar.

Add the zest and turn off the heat entirely. Once it has cooled, strain it to remove all the zest and any pulp. Don't leave the zest in the syrup, even if it looks aesthetically appealing, because it'll turn bitter.

Keep it covered and chilled and it can keep up to a year. You can add it to teas, cocktails, use it for lemonade, drizzle it on pastries, etc.

escapril: focus on the texture

Lie to me Speak beautiful falsities so I may feel desired Help me experience that foreign sensation

Sing for me Serenade this husk and allow it a moment of love For glimpses are more than enough now

Write about me Describe my eyes yet ignore my face And focus on the texture of my brittle ego

Distract me Confer the tool to curb my horrid thoughts Bring me a sliver of glorious silence

Make me laugh Please Just once more
