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.

My avatar at the moment is Robbie. I am reading his book by Chris Heath and I have laughed and cried throughout it. It shows that despite the money, people like him still have vulnerabilities like self-loathing.

It's a great book. My signature comes from his song 'Get A Little High'.
