  • When Damion was Born

    When Damion was Born
    When I was two years old, my mom had a son. At this point I was an only child, so I was thrilled to have a brother. His name is Damion and him and I are really close. We have so much in common so we do practically everything together. Sometimes we don't get along perfectly but he will always be really special to me.
  • Meeting my Dad and Sisters

    Meeting my Dad and Sisters
    Before I was born, and before my parents even knew my mom was pregnant, my parents decided to break up. Once I was born, I never knew my dad, but when I was six years old, almost seven, my mom found him and let me meet him. My dad had two other daughters at the time, so this was also my first time meeting my sisters. My parents fell in love again and decided to get married. Now we all live together, and none of it would have happened if my mom had never let me meet him.
  • Meeting Jade

    Meeting Jade

  • When Makaylin was Born

    When Makaylin was Born
    When I was younger, my aunt had three sons and no daughters and my mom had my little brother and I, so I never had a girl to play with. When I was 9 my mom told me that my aunt was having a daughter. When she was born, she named her Makaylin. Although she is a lot younger than I am, her and I are still really close.
  • Getting a Cat

    Getting a Cat
    As a young child I never really liked cats too much. That changed when my dad's cat had a litter of kittens and I held one of them. We named him Mr. Haircut and ever since we decided to keep him, I started to love cats. He's a really sweet cat and he's definitely my little baby.
  • Going to Disneyland

    Going to Disneyland
    Before I moved in with my dad and sisters, mom and I used to go to Disneyland all the time. Once we all started to live together, it became too expensive because now there was a lot more people in our family so we stopped going. We would go on vacation to other places but never Disneyland, but eventually we decided to take a family vacation there and it was amazing. Going with my whole family was really special.
  • The First Tattoo I did

    The First Tattoo I did
    My dad is a tattoo artist so since I was young I have always been around tattoos. I always loved watching my dad do tattoos so when I was 13 I decided to try it myself. I first started by tattooing fake skin and various fruits, like grapefruit and oranges. After a few months of practicing, my dad decided to let me tattoo him. I tattooed my brother, Kyle's, name across my dad's knuckles. Since then, I have also tattooed a cat on my mom and a butterfly on my grandma. I really love tattooing and it
  • When I Started Selling Art

    When I Started Selling Art
    I've always really appreciated art, and loved making it myself. I especially love graphic art, and one day I found a website that allows you to post your graphic art online for people to look at, and if they like it enough they can buy it on different types of merchandise such as posters, shirts, and mugs. Now I post all of my art on there for people to buy. The day I started selling things was important for me because it gives me more confidence in my art and it has taught me to be more indepen
  • Seeing Twenty One Pilots

    Seeing Twenty One Pilots
    One of my favorite bands is Twenty One Pilots. Their music has helped me through a lot of my hard times, so when I heard they were having a concert in Tucson I was ecstatic. Of course, my mom let me go. I took my brother and my friend with me because they both love Twenty One Pilots as well. It was really special because it was my brother's and my friend's first concert they had ever been to.
  • Seeing Gerard Way

    Seeing Gerard Way
    Growing up, music has always been a big part of my life. I've always loved all kinds of music but one musician in particular has made a huge influence on me. His name is Gerard Way and I've always really looked up to him, and several months ago my mom surprised me by buying me concert tickets to go see him. I took my brother and my friend. It was one of the best nights of my life and I will not forget it any time soon.
