Feedback About My Avatar?

[PreciousChild]

I hope this is not a dumb question. I'm usually not one to obsess over avatars AT ALL. But I'm invested in finding an avatar that reflects something genuine about me here. I chose the name and avatar because 1. After years of self-sabotage and self-hate, I'm interested in healing, especially because 2. I want to be able to be a good mom to my son. The picture captures what I think I missed as a child and what I want for my son and me. But is it obnoxious to have a picture of a tender moment between a mom and a child when in fact many of us had the complete opposite of that, including myself? Is it like, 'Haha, see what you missed!'?

I don't think so, PreciousChild. I think it's a beautiful photo.

It's a very nice avatar.

I think it's a moving pic, & I looove depictions of care & that people relate to them.

Being very visual/graphics oriented & details oriented isn't silly. Caring for avatars isn't either. It's a talent poking its head out out in small doses.

I think it's more like: "See what we can have even though.." It's a wonderful picture!

Thanks!!! : ) My other pic was a child who had tears falling down her face! haha. This is more what I aspire to.

Being very visual/...

Yes, Cashew, it's an art. I took weeks to discover and settle on this one.

Congratulations on the art find, comfort & good hunting, @PreciousChild.

A great song to listen to that's along these lines is Sinead O'Connor's "This is to Mother You." There's a YouTube version that shows pictures of mothers and children with it. Beautiful.

Thank you seedling. That's awesome!

It means something significant to you... that is most important. To be able to share such a personal moment is awesome I think, more than genuine.
