Bringing My Heart Back To Life

For my 17th birthday I bought myself a tattoo. Rebellious, I was scared with my head still together I decided to go with a small 1x1 heart on my right ankle. After my 16th birthday things changed for me in a devastating and confusing way. Putting my heart on my ankle was my best release to take a personal stand not to be vulnerable again or let anyone close to my heart. That tattoo and a fifth of cheap whisky washed away the years heart break and pain.
Now, close to fifteen years later I have a small faded heart. Things have started to change for me over the years and I am ready to see my heart vibrant and I would like to put tokens that represent people in my life that I have let close to my heart again through the years. I guess you could say it’s will look like a charm anklet. Each charm will represent someone close to my heart. The vibrant charms are those still living and the faded are honoring those that have crossed over.
Besides bring my heart back to life, it is also getting jazzed up. In the middle I am having it lightened and a map symbol for waterfall shining out like a diamond. The top right of the heart will have a Purple hat tipping and two pieces of wheat tangled to enhance the bottom. The hat is for my Grandmother Mickey and her style that has instilled in me. I honored my Kroenlein Grandparents for their family farm with the tied pieces of wheat. To the right, a Ocean blue and Topaz Scorpio vibrant to present Cidnee. She is my first born, under the sign of Scorpio in the stone of Topaz, November.
