Who Am I?

Some say you can read a person cover to cover through their eyes. No matter what shade they may be, they always give off a different story. The color of your eyes is like the colors that lie upon a canvas. They aren't always the most vibrant, but you don't need the most gorgeous green eyes to hide the saddest of stories. As for my eyes, well they are rather bipolar. Yes my eyes are Bipolar; you may be asking yourself how that is even plausible. Well my eye color plays off of my emotion, and no that doesn’t mean they go from brown to blue to green. They always stick to shades of brown. When I am distraught they tend to turn a dark brown, and when I am happy they inflict a pretty shade of reddish- hazel. However, when I am enraged they are nearly black. You can read me like a picture book due to the fact my eyes are so emotional. Are you still listening…whoever you are?

So, here’s some background information for whoever may be reading. I was born in Fresno, Ca. on December 30^th, 1993. I am currently enrolled as a junior at Los Banos High School. I’ve lived in Cow Town Cali since the middle of July and I can honestly say that after high school I’m getting my ass out of here. Before the stench of cows and stale valley air I lived in Carmel-By-The-Sea. In tiny-dog-and-old-peoples-ville my friends and my surroundings helped shape up the strong person I am today. The people I have back home, my best of friends, have been with me through thick and thin and I love them more than anything else. Without them I wouldn’t be me.

Here are some random facts just so you get a feel for what I am about, that is if you are still reading this. My favorite colors are purple, lime green, yellow, and teal. However, purple is my all time favorite. My favorite animal is a panda and my favorite candy is gummy sharks. I really enjoy Chinese food and Italian food. Root beer and Dr. Pepper are my favorite drinks. However, I really like Arizona iced tea too. Music is the one of the things that keeps me going. Some lyrical terminology can never fail to make me smile. I really enjoy all types of music but mostly listen to indie, alternative, screamo, and punk. Some of my favorite bands are: Asking Alexandria, A Day to Remember, Confide, and Nirvana. I currently have my lip pierced and my ears gauged. I pierced my lip myself and I had my ears pierced since I was really little then I went straight from piercing size to 6’s. That’s not that Big if you are wondering. Some of my favorite movies are: The Labyrinth, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Hangover, Superbad, Sex Drive, Zombieland, The Book Of Eli, Kick Ass, and Finding Nemo.

I am currently single; happy with my relationship status? Not even. It seems the one person I want the most will never come to see my existence. I’m honestly tired of getting hurt and used. It’s the worst feeling in the world. I’ve had my share of problems…who hasn’t? I’ve been through way too much, but the past is that past and it has only made me a stronger person. Don’t live in the past or the present; savor every second and every breath. You don’t know if today will be your last day. I am not religious; sorry I’m not what you’ve always hoped for dad. I will never meet anyone expectations. I’m going to do what I want with my life. No one will ever change that. I’ll never give up.

I am an artist; nothing more nothing less. My artistic abilities lie in certain categories. I consider myself an amateur photographer, sketch artist, and a writer. Photography has been a passion ever since middle school. When I got my first camera phone I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I had this crazy idea that I would be able to be amazing like some of the photographers that showcase their photographs in galleries. Yeah, 2.0 mega pixels does not always produce the best images. Up to about a year ago I had been asking for a digital camera for my birthday. Then last year for my sixteenth birthday, there it was…a shinny new pink (I hate pink just to clarify that) Samsung SL620 12.2 mega pixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom. Not the best camera in the world, but a good way to start out. After all, the camera is just as talented as the person using it. Over the past year I have produced some pretty good images and I strive to get a better camera and keep working to make my photographs even better.

In a nut shell that is who I am. I wouldn’t change it for anything, because in reality there is no one like me, and I am like no one. I may have some of the same physical features as others, but never completely the same. My personality in all can not be matched. I am completely bonkers and damn proud of it. You will never find some one exactly like you. You are unique in every way; don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Much love,
CanvasEyes.
