Tell Us About Your Avatar

Due to anonymity reasons, we can't have our face as our profile pic. I was wondering tonight about all the different pics I have seen on this Forum and the story behind them.

Some of you like me have animals. Maybe they are your pets. Others have inspirational sayings. There are ones with scenes on them and others that feature flowers or abstract designs.

My pic stems from my fascination with jellyfish. I love going to those huge aquarium places and watching the jellyfish. They are so serene and beautiful and make me feel calm. If I lived in a town that had a jellyfish display, I'd be there every week. Sometimes I watch videos of them. I use the good feelings I get from seeing them to lift my mood so each time I am on the Forum I am reminded of the beauty in the world and the peacefulness of their movements.

I hope you enjoy my pic half as much as I do.

I'll tag some people to encourage them to share their story. Please tag others so we can all participate easily.

Hi @soul and all reading;

My username comes from saying/writing "I hope..." many times since my breakdown. Hope's eternal so there's always hope for me.

My avatar's a happy colourful bee which represents my inner child and innocence; something torn from me early in life.

One of the reasons for becoming a member is to act out my silly side somewhere safe to 'remember' the 'me' that was lost all those years ago. And...I haven't been disappointed.

Thankyou...

Hope x

Wonderful positivity @Hope4me. Hope is so vital. Without it, we are swamped by despair.

Bees are amazing creatures. I admire their work ethic and what they produce. I'm sure you're as sweet as honey.

Re: Tell Us About Your Avatar

Agree @Former-Member - sometimes we can be critical of people’s behaviour but we are oblivious as to the reason why they may have acted that way.

I’m continually trying to figure out myself. Hopefully I’m getting closer each day.

@outlandersaw it come up before and thought "who the hell is that" for a moment until it twigged.

I LOVE it. Becasue you are perfect just the way you are. Doesn't matter if there is a piece missing, we all have pieces missing, and that doesn't matter. It makes us unique.
