This is a really cool picture I found of some people you might or might not recognise! It was taken when I was younger but I am still in it - so see if you can spot me without reading the 'who's who' information below - probably a good idea! BTW this picture was taken when I was thirteen (2006) so that's why we look really young!
On the top left there's my (2006) best friend Travis he was slightly older than me so he's fifteen in this picture, we hung out together all the time and when I was thirteen I was beginning to mature and just discovering girls so I was influenced by the cool crowd and became a total groupie! Travis was a cool older guy who looked out for me but he made me do some pretty horrible things and being a gullible thirteen year old, I did them! I was really rebellious in those days and hated my parents.
To the right of Travis is my current best friend Andy (his skin looks lighter because of the lighting in the room we're posing in) he was the same age as me and disapproved of Travis completely, he was never interested in coolness or popularity when we were thirteen so we drifted apart but then some tough things happened and we tearfully reunited.
Under Travis is actually me! I look really young and gullible like I'd give into peer pressure which aged thirteen I would. I'm not proud of a lot of the stuff I did when I was thirteen but I can't take it back so I guess I just have to live with it - I have no regrets though because it helped me become the guy I am today!
The guy to my right is Travis' rebellious, groupie friend Miguel who used to record my YouTube videos and film them for me and he had his own channel too which was similar to mine, he helped me with my channel so I owe most of my online success to him!
The girl to the lower left of me is a thirteen year old Mercede, she looks really young and we were such good friends when we were thirteen, back then I never would've realised we'd be an item four or so years later.
To Mercede's right is Mark, who used to bully me in middle school but then once we got into high school, we called a truce and became friends, he helped with my YouTube channel and actually introduced me to my first girlfriend Elaine who I dated when I was ten.
To Mark's right is my favourite cousin Maribell who was seventeen when the picture was taken, she actually dated Mark when she was younger!
At the bottom is one of my best friends Alberto who's portuguese, we were inseprable in school but he moved back to his hometown of Portugal two years ago but I visit him every month and we text and call and video chat - he's older than me and was fourteen when the photo was taken.
This is one of my all time favourite pictures and I kind of enjoyed sharing the story behind it with you - hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
