My name is John. I'm 19 and majoring in fine arts (for the time being). I'm really into drawing and painting, but mostly photography (and sewing at the moment :D) even though I don't own a camera (yet). I am not "emo", "straightedge", or any other kind of social group you can think of. At one point I did strive to place myself in one of those groups, however I feel like people who do these things are immature, and I've grown up a bit since then. I've now learned who my real friends are and I'm starting to learn what really matters in life. I try not to ever be too negative although I do become worried really easily.

The internet is a big part of my life and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. A lot of people try to bring me down and hurt me, and I'm starting to get over things like that. For some reason (what seems like) a lot of people think I'm a bad person, and I don't understand why. They seem to have a false impression of me based on I have no idea what. I think, though, that when everyone I've actually met in real life thinks I'm a good person, and the majority of people who know me online think the same thing, that it counts more than a faceless nobody who bases their opinion on possibly nothing. The negative comments and criticism used to hurt my feelings, but like I said I'm getting over it. I'm actually glad it happens because I can see and feel it making me a stronger person.

People think I'm "famous" but I don't feel that way at all. I do have a lot of youtube subscribers, but not nearly as many as the people who really are internet-famous. If internet or real life fame does come eventually, that'd be nice. If it doesn't, that's fine too. I'm enjoying the place I'm at right now and I guess things can only get better.

I really like artsy, intelligent, fun people. I don't like loudness in general, so I'm not a fan of loud music or loud personalities. I think you can be just as interesting and fun to be around without breaking eardrums or being over dramatic. I try to stay away from people with intense personal issues because I've been there before, and it's just not worth it. It's not worth sacrificing your own sanity to try and save somebody else's. There are people out there who like doing that, so I'll leave that job to them. I try to surround myself with positive things and positive people and it definitely keeps me happy.
