i absolutely understand. having just passed a part in my life i can't go back to, i found an opportunity to grasp by connecting meaning to a picture i have had for a long time.
the tattoo is of a young woman holding a teddybear in both of her arms. this woman is only wearing thigh highs and panties, yet is covered by the bear. she props a puzzled look upon her face as if thrown into an awkward situation with no way out. she uses this teddybear for shelter/protection, but it can't save her. so she looks to grow up, as i did, having to leave my teddy bears behind.
