Alright well I guess this is where I say hello and introduce myself.
My name is Kristin and I am a college student who, much like many others who attend universities, are looking to find what they are meant to be in the vast pools of people, potential, and infinite possibilities around them. To be honest, I have no idea what I am doing here. College, adulthood, everything is a maze to me. I am doing a lot of things I don't like and a lot of things I do like, but to be completely honest, I am lost. The future is sometimes looming AND exciting to me and slowly but surely, I am trying to attain a vision I saw for myself many years ago. I am looking to get on a path where I might not feel lost anymore, but guided and I look forward to getting there.
Beside the point... I kinda have anxiety.
So of course, this journey becomes much more... interesting and difficult for a person like me. A worrier, a stressor by nature.
Sometimes, like many others, I stay up late and stress through the day thinking what will become of me. Now don't get me wrong, I am a happy, enthusiastic, empathetic person who is thankful and joyful.
I just let stress get the best of me sometimes, and this is my sanctuary to battle it back.
In an ideal world, I would like to get paid to write the thoughts out that take the edge off my own mind and bring a tranquility to my being. It truly brings me joy and is beautifully therapeutic. If I could make a living reaching out to those like me, that would be an ideal life for myself.
This is where I find peace. In words, thoughts and ideas. I strive to find ways to say them so that I might find light in even my darkest and immanent struggles.
That is why I have turned to blogging, or writing. To perhaps reach someone with a sentence, or portion of a post, or a word that can speak to them and help them through those deep thoughts. This is a place to help me get on my journey, make sense of my feelings, college and life and truly to write out the things that keep me up late. My hope would be something I write about might similarly keep you up worrying or reflecting, and something I write might bring you refuge and help you sleep.
I am here to let you know that finding a release, whether it be blogging, a sport, writing, painting, dancing, anything to help ease your own stresses will enhance your experience as a human being. Find a passion, anything you love, and let it heal you. I promise you, it works.
So here it is. My name is Kristin and I am a college student. I may be at your college, or thousands of miles away from your own dorm room, but my goal is to be a friend, voice of reason, explanation, helper, or bringer of peace to your weary mind because that is my goal and hopefully, we can get through our struggles, rejoices, and nights together.
