: About Me

     I am a living, breathing, walking creature of contradictions and conflicting ideals. I believe i am the most logical and rational person that I know, but I am also the biggest dreamer and idealist, ALMOST unrealistically so. I am a child of love, and believe deep love and loyal friendship-relationships that humans share- is undeniably the best thing about life, but am also capable of extreme feelings of hate: I am passionate, an extremist, in what i feel and what i believe, middle ground spelling out to me nothing but B-O-R-I-N-G. I have goals that change from day to day, ideas that vary from hour to hour, an imagination that I think will last me a lifetime. I can be a narcissist, but am not a stranger to self-deprecation. I am internally an optimist, but in the right climate an unwavering pessimist. I am committed, but can quickly change my mind. I am young, but think of my age only as a detached extension of who I am; I grow and learn at my own pace. I have my own way of seeing things, and my interpretations are most often quite different than that of others. I love the concept of simplicity, but am also drawn to the unconventional. I love anything abstract.

I am someone who takes to inspiration very easily and quite often; I find it in everything and everyone around me. I love photography and photographs, the silence they capture: the moments in time they freeze within their frames. I love words, the different shapes and forms they can take to express different feelings, ideas, and thoughts: I've written poetry, short stories, articles, songs, journal entries, and random thoughts on random subjects, all of which, if no other purpose do they serve, clear my mind and attempt to reach out to anyone who reads them. I am a big music fan and an avid listener, never listening to a group of different artists and musicians at once, but instead enter the world created by the music of each artist one at a time, for however long their music will keep me inspired. Right now I am enjoying the wonderfully creative and uniquely odd world of Panic at the Disco's music. I love to read, though have been writing more than reading lately. But still there are a handful of books that have inspired my love of words and they include The Catcher in The Rye, Song of The Magdalene, and The Dylanist. Most of all, I am inspired by human beings. I am not interested in what we all share, in what makes us the same, but in our differences; the things, when added up, make up who we each are. I am intrigued with the concept of personality: ideas and beliefs we each hold that make us ourselves and no one else. I am endlessly inspired by anyone else with strong views, ideas, and theories of the world; whenever they are willing to share, I am always more than willing to listen.

Health & Fitness > Vision Tips for getting used to wearing contact lenses

8 of 8

I have been wearing contact lenses for over four years, and everyday I am grateful for the convenience that they provide. It is amazing to me that two little spherical lenses made of plastic can correct vision. There are three types of lenses: soft, hard, and gas-permeable. Soft contact lenses are typically the most comfortable of the three, and are most often prescribed to those with astigmatism. They are thinner and more flexible than the other two types of lenses, though this makes them more prone to tearing. Hard contact lenses also have a tendency to “pop out.” Gas-permeab...
