Guest guest Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hey Guys, I suppose quite a few of you already know who Forest Whitaker is, he is an American actor who jus so happens to have one drooping eyelid. I know what he has is on a much lesser extent to what some of us may have, but I really really like his attitude in relation to how people see him. I literally am only after finding out about this guy, when someone told me I had eyes like him .. a bit irritating but I've heard worse. QUOTE FROM FOREST WHITAKER... " My eye? It's a genetic thing. My dad had it and now I have it. You know, I just found out that it may be correctable a little bit, because it does impair my vision. When I look up, I lose sight in this eye. I think maybe for other people, it informs the way they see me. But I don't really think about this eye, other than the times people talk about it, or when people take photographs of me sometimes they might say stuff about it. I don't think it makes me look bad or anything. It just is. " Its the last 3 words I like, " it just is " . Thats exactly how it is, it can be a pain, it can change the way people may look at us, it can affect us all in differant ways, but at the end of the day, it is how it is. I know I'm only 16, but I can't stress that enough, I'm only learning recently how to just forget about these things and go about my life the way I want to, and I hope everyone learns the same because its something my dad taught me that I couldnt be more grateful for Thanks Guys, God Bless Maeve, Ireland (16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
