There is plenty to be sad about the world right now.  It can make a person feel really depressed, hell I even had to delete my news app on my phone. However, I do feel like in these sad, depressing times the most beautiful moments shine through. Without the dark, we cannot appreciate the light.  Sappy? yes but true? YES!! I've seen resistance and willpower in people. I've seen two unexpecting faces stand together to fight for rights they know is worth fighting for. I've seen people stand up for those who cannot stand, speak for those who have no voice. It is beautiful thinking of a world where suffering has no place, where laughter is all you hear. But when suffering happens you see more than tears and heartbreak you see strength, unity, and compassion.  Suffering shows us how strong we can be it pushes us to our limitations, there at that point we show our true colors, we can crumble and let it consume us or it can bring us higher showing us we have more power more stren

When I was a little girl my mom would always tell me that my mistakes would catch up to me. And now at 20 something years old I’m finally starting to feel the effects of my mistakes.  But what are mistakes anyways, an action that is later filled with regret?  I have made my fair share of mistakes, so many things I did, things I didn’t do, foul words that were said, words that were never said.  But these mistakes have made me who I am today, all of the "mistakes" I’ve made took me to the place I’m at today.  I wouldn’t want it any other way.  No my life is not perfect far from it in fact, however I am happy, wiser, and ready for whatever this life has to offer.  Because of my mistakes I have loved with all my heart, cried a river and came back to swim in it. Because of my mistakes, I value everything and everyone in my life. Sorry Mom I know that this wasn’t the lesson you were trying to teach me but these "mistakes" are catching up to me and it’s just the beginning

2016 Recap: I have learned many things this year, there has been some amazing memories and exciting milestones and then there has been some not so amazing memories. I have learned that even if you are not ready to "grow up" that doesn't mater cause life doesn't wait for you. And even if life has no patients, you should.  Love sometimes isn't enough, and sometimes its everything.  Things never go as YOU planned but it is going as planned.   God is just a tale, but there is something amazingly beautiful watching out for all of us out there. Everyone is capable of compassion. If you choose to see the good in people, they might surprise you.  Stress....not worth the wrinkles. Getting older is okay, in fact its beautiful. I'm so excited to see what 2017 will bring, I'm ready for the challenges and hopeful for the future. Love Kat.

Growing up sucks. I wish I told this to myself when I was younger. Looking back, I didn’t enjoy my childhood moments to the fullest as I should have.  But then again what child really does, most of us are in a rush to get older just to taste that little bit of freedom.  I was stuck in a world of people telling me who to be and how to act that I was so desperate to break free.  I wanted to figure out how to be myself and what did that even mean?  Who was I?  So imagine my surprise when I found out that you still have people telling you what to do and how to act.  Despite realizing that this world is bitter cold, people suck, and no matter how hard you try somehow things always coming up short, I have enjoyed the journey thus far.  Growing up means you are constantly changing, getting the chance to be a better person than who you were yesterday.  Every rocky road, every day when you feel like giving up, know that even those days are blessing.  Things always seem worse than what they are

When life gives you lemons, quietly freak the fuck out? The older I get the more difficult it becomes to let go of things you cannot change, the urge to control everything is strong.  In my short 24 years of living in this amazing world, I have had ups and downs.  When it comes to my downs I have always found a silver lining. This time that silver lining must be hiding in the Bermuda triangle.   At this age dealing with parents getting a divorce, selling our childhood home, living near the city miles away from the familiar, has hit me harder than expected.  I am so grateful to have an amazing partner that shows me love and gives me the space to freak out when needed and still loves me thru it all.  My sister who is also my best friend helps me feel like I'm not alone, despite our differences, she is the one thing that will never change... she is my home. Yet I still go to bed with my heart beating faster than it should, scared of the unknown, terrified for the future.  I can’t do
