You don't love someone because they are beautiful, they are beautiful because you love them.

He looks like a friendly guy I think. His eyes are very nice, I'm an eyes kind of guy myself.

He seems to be latino, or vaguely arabic to me, but it's difficult to tell from a pencil drawing of course... His shirt is open which says he's willing to reveal himself in some ways, but he wears a T-shirt underneath. Bummer! Smile

Overall cute and attractive, I'd say.

Let's see...not much to add to what Lenny said...he's a pretty observant guy, ya know.

Great eyes...I also am an eyes man. I have always thought that Latinos were very handsome.

Nice smile too!Razz

he looks like he has secrets behind his eyes, but not necessarily bad ones.

From this picture... I see someone with a gentle strength...
Someone who seems to have just begun, or soon will reveal himself.



You said when you'd die that you'd walk with me every day
And I'd start to cry and say please don't talk that way
With the blink of an eye the Lord came and asked you to meet
You went to a better place but He stole you away from me

The eyes tell me the most. This person has an intensity of understanding and emotion that would truely shock and amaze others if they knew of it. But he is good a camoflage, hiding out in plain sight. Still, anything that captures this person's interest gets all of it, even if it's secretly done.

Cautious in manner yet bold in action. This person is defined by his own boundaries and sense of right and wrong. His definition of honor may not match that of the crowd, but he holds to his own honor. He doesn't promise unless he can deliver or truly intends to make every effort.

There is a burden of some kind in his eyes as well. A sense that there are secrets too powerful to reveal, to personal to share, and too complicated to just say easily.

This is a person who has intuitions he is just begining to trust.

This person has a loving soul, always ready to help a friend or make a new one. Ready with a smile and a joke as well as to help console a troubled person in his circle. Loyal, caring, compassionate, and sometimes even too giving. Willing to forgive but unable to forget. Understands the value of a second chance.

But thats just a quick guess, mind you. I'd also have to guess that he's into movies like some people are into paintings, fine wine or music.

Tell me how close that all is.

Yesturday i was a little bore and all of the sudden something hit me and i decided to draw myself. I wanted to do a self potrait. The picture reflects how i see myself... it is the guy almost nobody knows.... it is the person i am. I wanted to know what you guys thought about just by looking at it, not really knowing who it was.

The post that shock me the most was D'Artagnon. He literaly describe exactly the way i am. I was left speechless because i could not believe someone could get this from a picture, specially a drawing.

"This person has an intensity of understanding and emotion that would truely shock and amaze others if they knew of it. But he is good a camoflage, hiding out in plain sight. Still, anything that captures this person's interest gets all of it, even if it's secretly done"

This is so true, when it comes from emotion i am exactly that way, unfortunally most people have no idea i'm that way. Is also true that i can hide it well, most think i would not be the type of person with does emotion , maybe they think i'm too simple. This is my favorite, yes when i see someone i really like, i feel i can give them everything. I do it secretly, they don't know why i help them so much, they have no idea why i'm always there when they need me, they can not imagin that no matter what, i'm always going to be in a good mood with them. The sad part they don't know, i wish they did.

"Cautious in manner yet bold in action. This person is defined by his own boundaries and sense of right and wrong. His definition of honor may not match that of the crowd, but he holds to his own honor. He doesn't promise unless he can deliver or truly intends to make every effort"

Lets see, my mother even thinks i'm always too careful, she says i would first let the others cross the bridge then i would proceed. In a sense that is true, i'm very cautious about the things i do, however when i say i'm going to do something i do it. Another statement that is true, my boundries are very well set, i know what is right from wrong, maybe that is why people have yet to offer me drugs or things like that, they know my limits. Yes my defenition of honor is a little different than most and yes i believe in keeping my honor , i think it is very important. This is something you can count on me, when i promise something is because i'm going to do it, trust me i will do my best not to let you down. WOw i'm amaze how accurate this is.

"There is a burden of some kind in his eyes as well. A sense that there are secrets too powerful to reveal, to personal to share, and too complicated to just say easily"

There are things about me i don't easily share, specially my friends, one of them is that i'm gay. It think it is something people have no business in knowing because in the end i'm never going to change or be different with them... i'm always going to be the same person so i don't think they need to know that part of me. It would be something too complicated to explain to them , plus there are some other things i will not dare share with them.

"This is a person who has intuitions he is just begining to trust"
Another true statement, i used to be so different, it wasn't until a few years ago that i started to see my true capability. How do i go about in doing things? Instinct, i get does weird feelings and if it doesn't feel right i will not do it. When i'm around i study them and many times this intuitions and i have never really trust them until now and i follow them from time to time.

"This person has a loving soul, always ready to help a friend or make a new one. Ready with a smile and a joke as well as to help console a troubled person in his circle. Loyal, caring, compassionate, and sometimes even too giving. Willing to forgive but unable to forget. Understands the value of a second chance"

When i a friends comes to ask me for help, i'm always there and do what i can to help them, sometimes not in the way they might want because i want them to learn too. You know what they call me at school ( some teacher ) Mr. Smile. Why? I alwways have smile in my face. Sometimes i could be the worse day in my life but i still try to smile and many times it helps other people too. Just today i saw someone really sad and i just had to make her laugh, she did , she said i was a silly boy. This i don't like sometimes but yeah i'm too gving sometimes, i just can help to give you everything that i have. Forgivness, it is something i can do but yes i will never forget. Does things get stuck in my heart it takes me too much time to forget them. I still remember how people used to treat me when i was younger i cant forget about them. However, if you show williness to change why not a second chance. I believe people have the ability to change.

"I'd also have to guess that he's into movies like some people are into paintings, fine wine or music"
Yes i love the movies, i get so into them sometimes i even cry because i just don't see the action or the people acting, i try to find the message behind it. I fact i might go to the movies tomorrow ( Saturday ) and i still don't know which one i'm going to see.

Where you close at all? I have to say hell yeah, i still can not picture how you came up with all of this. The other guys were right too, they too described parts of me, but you, you said everything.

Do you think i should continue drawing? I just started doing it and i had no idea i could do more or less ok drawing , specially of people. I love to draw people and i try my best to try to capture that uniqueness everyone has. The way i see things are different than most.

I fixed the pic a little, maybe this is a little better and see more about me.

Sorry if that freaked you a little, M. I have this bad habit of letting those weird impression sensors out of my skull from time to time and I've learned the hard way to trust them. Perhaps that was the part of the "learning to trust his own insticts" that kinda shocked me even as I typed it.

As for your drawing, definitely keep at it. What you've drawn just to show us here shows great promise at capturing mood and the subtlties (sp?, I just got home from work and my brain is mush!) of shape and texture. I really think that you have some serious artistic potential and even if you only pursue it for your own enjoyment, I encourage you to do so.

As for secrets, well we all have them. But I did see something in those drawn eyes that doubtless reflects in yours. I'm not gonna blurt anything out, or even suggest that it's something you need to seek counciling on, but if you ever feel the need to talk about it, there are plenty of people here who are both wise and understanding. And while we might not fully understand what you mean, or how you feel, we can appreciate it, and maybe even give you some insights you didn't see from your own perspective.

There was something else I saw in that picture, but I didn't say it before. A certain sadness and loneliness. A lot of us share that in common as well. I hope you don't feel isolated or that there aren't those around you, both here at A Place Of Safety and in your own family, that will listen to you if you need to rant, chat or just get something off your chest.

Anyways, just wanted to let you know that if I weird you out by being so accurate, it's not because I have inside knowledge.... just an inside track to what most people don't easily pick up. Must be a Scorpio thing. There are just days I can't turn it off. Sorry if that scared you, pal. Last thing I wanted to do was startle someone or frighten them with the truth.

Anyways, it's been a long night and I'm bone weary from too much work and not enough sleep. Cya on the other side.
Peace my brothers. Pax nobiscum.
