am i a "child of the west"?

hey guys!

yes, I do identify as a "child of the west." When I think of a "child of the west", I imagine a person who feels connected to the west coast, a place where life is easy-going and everyone is able to be their own person.

• I am a "child of the west" because I truly enjoy living my life on the west coast of the United States. My life in California is very chill, and I really like being able to feel connected to everyone in some way. 
• I am a "child of the west" because I have lived in the city of Santa Barbara on the coast of California my entire life. It is the place that I call "home" and this city holds all of my memories.

this is me

hey guys! 

On the front of my identity mask there are five guitar picks on the forehead. The pick on the far left is the first guitar pick that I ever bought. It ignited my love for music. The music note that is on the tip of the nose displays that my strong passion music is the first trait that people discover about me. In the middle of the face is a pair of black sunglasses. This shows that I feel more confident behind a pair of sunglasses. On the bottom of the mask, the words 'Santa Barbara' are spelled out, letter by letter. This shows that Santa Barbara has been my home for my entire life, it is the place that I grew up and it holds all of my precious memories.

There is not a lot on the back of my identity mask because there truly isn't a lot that most people don't know about me. However, there is a symbol to represent my zodiac sign: Scorpio. Most people wouldn't know that I genuinely enjoy learning about the characteristics that makes up a Scorpio, the characteristics that make up me. There is also two parts of a wristband, in both hot pink and bright blue, that say awkward. Most people do know that I am in a rock band named awkward, however most people don't know that I am an awkward person, but, naturally, I embrace it. There are three dots of different sizes, and this represents that I am passionate about everything I do, but I dedicate and devote myself differently for each specific element. There are two small hearts, red and yellow, on the left side of the back of my mask. This displays that I love and care about my friends and family.
