I've never had my initials carved into a tree. I guess that is a good thing for the trees, but a little sad somehow for me. I never knew that I was missing that until today, when I saw not one, but two beautiful old "love trees". And I wondered if any of those initials were still linked...
What happened to the sweet old traditions like carving initials and hearts into trees? I guess it started changing when people started carving into furniture and walls, then writing on them with pens. Now we have graffiti, gang symbols and tatoos. What a horrible and sorry statement.
Maybe I'm just bitter, but I am glad that no one has ever tatooed my name anywhere. And I trust it isn't emblazoned on a wall somewhere. But sweetly carved into a love tree? That would have been nice.
