About Me

Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™

When a kid is pushed down so far, they can barely see the sun or feel the wind on their face; life just isn't about living anymore, its about surviving.

I'm 18 years old and a survivor of abuse. I never wanted to write that in any profile I had but I'm coming to terms with it and becoming a bit more comfortable with it. I want to do something about it, try and stop it from happening in the future and help kids. Hence the group Standing Up I made here and on facebook.

Sounds bounce off the walls
Images confuse me
Shadows play on the floor
Outside the sun is rising
Giving a golden tint to everything it reaches
Once the shades open
The shadows are amplified
The noise stops
Morning hangs in this balance
Serenity is found in a single moment
When all is right and makes sense

If you can ever get your hands on my iPod you will know. If you must know, ask me. I'd love to talk about music with you.

Movies:

Lame ones not allowed.Movies are alright, but they're also fake unless they are documentaries and even those are biased.Anything by my bro Ali...even though I have not seen one of his creations I'm sure they're pretty awesome.

Good tv...do they even make that any more?Same with movies...

Heroes:

Too many to mention, too many I have yet to meet.

Holiday

Warmth

My room is warm, the kind of warmth that when it hits you it makes you sleepy and relaxed. I open the door and its cold and harsh, words fly from my parents mouths matching the atmosphere. Retreat bac...
