Inside and Out

My mask shows myself on the inside and out. Flowers indicate joy, youth, and happiness. The red beads sprinkled around my mask symbolizes my boldness and curiosity. White and black beads surround almost all of my eye seeming like i want to be covered up and hidden which represent my insecurity but also my shyness. I have a couple of golden studs which also represent my boldness but also my pzazz, funnies and adventurousness. I didn't completely cover up my showing that I do have some confusion that no one else can answer and problems no one else can fix except me. On the inside of my mask I have some seashells with different shades brown and white from Italy which represent my happiness and calmness, like the ocean breeze. The beads decorated throughout my mask show I can be sensitive but at the same time have a perk of spontaneous and funniness which shines beyond my layers of skin. Some black beads put at the bottom of my mask represent a border of insecurity and defensiveness. The last thing I put on my mask is a pendent which represent my shadow of unknown knowledge I have yet to seek through my life time.

"child of the West"

Hey guys,
Today in my blog post I'm going to be talking about if I identify as a "child of the West". I don't identify as a "child of a West" because to mean it means like a cowboy, the west, ranches and farms. "child of the West" to me also means country music, western folks, and people with western Texas accents. I identify as a eastern child because for mean eastern child means the beach, sun, warmth and ocean, which is what I identify as.
