About Me

Amy Renee Butkins.
First off, I'd like to state that I am who I am, and I'm proud of what I've become and what I am still becoming. I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, He is the love of my life; He is who I live for. He's always working wonders in my life and in the world around me. He is Loving. He is forgiving. He is accepting. He is truth. He is so much more. For all these things: I am eternally thankful.
I'm a senior at SBHS this year.
Portland is absolutely amazing. As well as Oregon-anyone who says different is insane. I love the people downtown, and watching them is very entertaining. I wish I could know the story behind every face I come across.
I love to write. Although, I don't show my work to very many people. I hate writing for class though, it's not the same as writing for enjoyment.
Photography is a passion of mine. I want my talent to grow. I think it would be amazing to just be a photographer one day and just travel the world and do photography and write. Those two things are my creative outlets.
I really really really enjoy coffee shops, the whole environment is my type of thing. Although, I dislike coffee with a passion. Tea is my.. well.. cup of tea--so to speak.
Different cultures fascinate me.
My friends are amazing. They help make me who I am without even knowing it. They guide me and keep me in check. I truly am lucky to have all them in my life.
I don't drink, do drugs, fool around, or "party". Those just aren't my kind of things and I don't plan on doing them. They aren't me. Period.
Avoiding peer pressure and other temptations that are hard for other people is easy for me to just stay away from. For me, things are pretty black and white, there's not much gray area. I have a firm head on my shoulders and I have enough confidence to just say "no" to certain things.
"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right had will hold me fast." --Psalm 139:9-10
NOTICE: it would not be wise to judge who i am based souly on this page. Try and actually get to know me, for who I truly am, not based on what a simple profile says.
THEN you can decide whether or not you care for me. :]
