Some of us go our whole lives asking, "What if?" Well, since my family's house fire, I've been braver and letting myself be seen as I am, for who I am. I'm so done with hiding behind a shell or a wall. It hasn't done me any good and, just maybe, this will open doors for so many other people. That's all I want. I want to be respected and I want others to see that it is ok to be different. I always knew I was different, but not as much as I've come to realize.
People at work know me as the nerdy, goofy, math tutor. Few people have come to see all that god has blessed me with. I honestly wouldn't have found any of it if I wasn't such a lonely child. I had no friends and lived a very sheltered life. I'm just now fully coming out of my shell and the world better watch out because I'm not slowing down.
A lot of people even know me as an artist or the crazy gym rat who goes intense every gym workout she does. Some even know I write and have been published. There are also a select few that know I love photography as well. Not many, though, know what my favorite thing to do truly is. This blog may have the world see me in a whole new light, but, it's time.....it is time for me to just lay it all on the line.
I know the judgement will be harsh and the opinions high, but, this is my life and you can either support me or take a hike. I don't need the negativity anymore. I want to be known as Kristen, the girl who survived live and triumphed.

...and yes this is me. Please do not even think that I would post someone else's link. Believe it or not, I am scared of what people will say, but I'm also excited to put myself out there. Welcome to the world, Kristen.
