My eyes

This is me looking out to sea, see? Blue.

I just want to clear something up. A lot of people compliment me on my eyes. I like this very much, trust me. I think my eyes are probably my best physical attribute and it makes me feel good to hear I have nice eyes.

Ok so, the issue at hand is the color of my eyes. I've had a lot of questions such as "Do you wear contacts? How is it your eyes are so blue? What is the true color of your eyes?"

• They are blue.

• No I do not wear contacts.

• I got my blue eyes from my very blue-eyed father and my blue-eyed mother. It's genetic.

You know how the ocean reflects the sky and looks blue? My eyes also act like the ocean in that they are very reflective of surrounding light and color. If I am in a forest, they look green. If I am outside on a sunny day, the blue stands out. If I'm in Starbucks, they look hazel or brown because of the warm, dark "espresso'esk" colors in the cafe.

My eyes have been green, hazel, bright blue, brown even. All sorts of colors. But their true color is light, bright blue. I'm really proud of my eyes.
