Introductions

It’s been quite a long time since I’ve shared myself, but lately I’ve been wanting to do that more. I miss transparency and comraderie over realizing I’m not the only one that feels that.

So, here I am.

My name is Makenzie, but people close to me call me Kenz - so you can call me that too. Let’s skip all that messy getting close stuff and just be there in the middle of it with each other.

I’m 21 and a half cause the half matters but I simultaneously feel like I’m far older and still a child, if that’s even possible.

I like to write because I’m terrible at talking out loud. My own voice sometimes freaks me out because it doesn’t sound like it belongs to me. I don’t know how to use it, so I write instead. Yet despite all of that, I really like talking to people one on one over coffee and am a huge oversharer.

I hate cooking but I love to eat, and I’m terrible at making decisions because I don’t like the idea of all of my doors not being open anymore. I thrive off of opportunity, even ones I never intend on taking. Yet, I really like the idea of settling down.

I don’t know how to be alone, but I love doing things by myself. I love Jesus, but sometimes I don’t understand Him and maybe I never will. I love a lot of things I don’t understand, and I don’t love things that are easy to love.

I’ve learned I’m okay being paradoxical. I don’t understand myself, but I love a lot of things I don’t understand. I’m learning to let that include me.

I enjoy good coffee, craft beer, reading poetry on my porch, the feeling of discovering new music you’ve never heard before and suddenly love, leading worship, disposable cameras, traveling to new cities, exotic food, and going dancing.

Nice to meet you.

hold me always.

[thecreativechristianap]

Not that I have already reached the goal or am already fully mature, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.

She understood that the hardest times in life to go through were when you were transitioning from one version of yourself to another.
