This is my Sea Turtle, that I am very, very proud of. I’ve always loved sea turtles, and I’ve often associated myself with them. So many in my family have quit on their dreams, given up. I have fought through my parents divorce, My mom abandoning me for drugs/her boyfriend, the death of my best friend in High School, The hateful comments for being bigger sized, and getting into college. How does this relate to sea turtles? Sea Turtles are left on the shore, and upon hatching, must rush quickly to return back to the sea. Predators lurk, turtles go the wrong way, and so many die before they even hit the water. And even then, when they get into the ocean, it is STILL a constant battle for them to live. Due to fishing and pollution, their lives are always at risk. Only a few out of a thousand make it, which Is what I’m going to do. Few in my family have accomplished what they wanted to do…And I’m riding my way back into the waves, into my ocean of dreams. Done by Ricky, at Slingin’ Ink Tattooz in North Carolina. He’s amazing, and I’ll soon be going back to get another.
