I figured I would explain the meaning behind my tattoo

When I was little my mom and I lived with my grandparents for a little while and in that time I became very close to my grandpa and we would always be outside together and one day we where outside and I seen this rock and I went over and climbed on it and all of sudden the “rock” started moving and I look down and start screaming and my grandpa is laughing and saying that’s not a rock that’s a turtle (tortoise to be exact) I got off quickly and ran over to my grandpa and after that he and I started looking for different ones in the backyard.

But, Rebecca the tattoo is a sea turtle, yes yes it is because my grandpa believed that if you just keep going it will get better and sea turtle will just keep swimming ( Nemo joke)

I am also obsessed with flowers 💐

Tattoos often carry deep personal meanings and are a reflection of one's experiences and relationships. A sea turtle tattoo, like mine, symbolizes endurance and navigating life's challenges, echoing the belief that if you keep moving forward, things will improve. Many people choose animal tattoos for their connection to nature and the unique traits they represent. Sea turtles, known for their long life and migratory habits, embody perseverance and tranquility. In addition to their symbolic value, floral tattoos add a layer of beauty and personalization. Flowers can represent love, growth, and new beginnings, making them a popular choice when combined with other elements. The combination of a sea turtle with floral designs not only makes for a visually stunning tattoo but also encapsulates a rich tapestry of meaning, showcasing one's journey through life, nature, and cherished memories.

A woman with long wavy hair lies on a white pillow with her eyes closed, wearing a leopard print top and a cream cardigan. Text asks, 'What would you do if your bf said ... he doesn't love you?'

A smiling woman with long wavy hair takes a selfie in a sunlit room with potted plants. Text describes her ex-boyfriend realizing he didn't love her after hearing an athlete's story.

Two women are in a car; one makes peace signs while the other looks away. Text discusses the ex-boyfriend's reason for not loving her, stating he didn't love himself first.

Would you stay or leave?😅

I really wish I would have left now looking back! Clearly he had some things to figured out 😂 realizing that you need to love yourself first before you love other people is good! But 2 years into a relationship is kinda a big deal and led to me feeling really hurt because there was also mistrust
