"NEDA" symbol and "Recovery Happens" text pair perfectly in grass green and freedom sky blue to create my new recovery tattoo!!!

The meaning of this tattoo is to remind me that RECOVERY DOES HAPPEN and is POSSIBLE. It's a reminder to fight. The NEDA symbol is an acknowledgement to all those living with eating disorders. I have also used this symbol to honor those who are deceased due to eating disorders. This symbol reminds me of a HEALTHY, FUNCTIONAL, BODY IN MOTION which is what I aspire to one day have. It has a beautiful abstract curvy shape that represents good health and movement... fluidity of life and recovery. Any ballet dancer will see a curvy body in coupe position! See it?! How cute!

I put this on the back of my neck to make a bold statement to those who come across it and it's message. I hope this tattoo will share strength with others as well as with myself : ) I chose green for the symbol because that is the color of the ED awareness ribbon and sky blue for the text because recovery is like a big open sky of freedom! I need to credit my Mother for bringing the words "Recovery Happens" into my head while we were doing a public piece of street art with a tree of life and the words "Recovery Happens" in the middle of the tree... from there this phrase was engrained in my head and held deeply in my heart.
