My name’s Amber, soon to be Ember Morgan. I’m eighteen. I’m living in slow-motion, but it’s about to take a fast-track.

.

I’m tiny: both metaphorically and physically. I’m just a speck in this tiny thing called life. My voice is higher than a skyscraper, and my face frequently twists into the most unattractive of sorts. I’m an insomniac who enjoys living while everyone else sleeps. It’s quieter and darker, just the way I like it.

.

Truthfully, I can be an intense person. I like discovering screwed up people and find stability to be boring. I become too attached to fictional characters, and not nearly as hooked on real people. Funnily enough, I find romanticism to be sickening and realism to be like a refreshing cup of coffee. I’m not fearless, nor am I perfect, but my flaws make up the person I’ve become, so I’ve learned to accept them.

.

I like taking pictures. I like writing. I like acting. I like discovering beauty in things that aren’t seen as beautiful. And maybe that’s my purpose in life, but maybe not. Someday, I hope to inspire someone, but I’m not inspirational as of yet. I hate society and love messiness; I think societal behavior is beyond repair. I’m a pessimist, but I’m also the biggest dreamer you’ll ever meet, which in turn makes me a realist I suppose. I don’t open up easily; I take time.

.

I’m one of those people who can’t change. I will irrevocably be myself. I like boy bands and shitty movies. I like wearing too much makeup and dressing the way I want. I like dreaming, even when others may believe it to be impossible. I don’t care what everyone says. This life is mine, and I’m going to live it my way.

.

So, this is my life. I’m not quite sure who I am yet, or where I’m going. Life’s path isn’t always simplistic or straight, but I’m traveling on a twisted path and I’ll find my way. Until then, this is me and my story, and the rest is still unwritten. So keep your head up, laugh, discover something you love, be crazy, and enjoy every moment.
