I understand a lot of people take "selfies". Most of those people who take "selfies" are teenage girls. I look in the mirror and feel pretty about myself. But when I go to take a picture I look like this guy below.


Why do I look different in the mirror than I do in pictures? Well I found a video on how mirrors work. We prefer what we see. Sometimes when we feel ugly  we are not really ugly. Our eyes lie to us. My perspective on myself doesn't matter.
You should really watch the video below. You'll find out a lot of stuff you never knew about yourself.











~Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder~
this quote is true. Although talking about ourselves is invalid.

I have realized all my peers even some of my teachers believe humans have blue blood. My whole life I have been told that the deoxygenated blood was blue. Then when our blood has oxygen it is red. To prove how my blood is blue. They told me to look at my veins. Our veins are blue. Well this is a myth. Our blood is NOT blue.
Our blood will always be red. Blood is red because it is full of red blood cells. Deoxygenated blood is a dark red color. While oxygenated blood is bright red.

Here are some links to get a better understanding. You'll find out a lot of the things you have been told growing up isn't always true.
