I shit you not, we had Chinese and I am so fucking full. And my mouth is killing me. And I took strong painkillers and I had been drinking. And now I'm in bed and it's only quarter to eight but like wow. Katie. You lightweight.

   Hey everyone, I'm Katie and I'm currently residing in the wonderful city of Portland, Maine. I'm 21 and love capturing life's beauty through a camera lens. I recently finished three years of college only to realize that it wasn't where i was meant to be at this point in my life, and that in turn is where my real journey began. 

   I've spent years asking myself questions that i never thought i would or could get answers to. Why am i here? Who am i? Am i really only here to live the life society says is right? Why do we even exist? What's the point of.. anything at all? Why is there so much suffering? If there any way to end it? Years of asking and it wasn't until several months ago that i shared an experience with one of my closest friends that changed my life forever. That experience started me on my spiritual journey and since then i haven't stopped. Once your eyes are opened to the possibilities of this universe, there's no way to ever see things the way you once did. The world you knew disappears and world full of infinite hope unravels right before your eyes. All i've ever wanted out of this life is to ease the suffering of others, and this journey has helped me see that before i can help anyone else, i first need to help myself. 

The seven other wonderful souls that are a part of this blog are all from different aspects of my life. Each of them i met at different times, in different places, under different circumstances, and have had different relationships with, but all of them have become key in my journey to know myself. Each of them has taught me so much about myself, simply by being themselves. We are a reflection of the world around us, therefore we see a part of ourselves in everyone we meet and everyone we meet has a lesson to teach us. One text message is what brought these 7 people into each others lives, and since then the energy we've created is undeniable. These 7 people have shown me that the connections we've all found in each other are the same connections that have the potential to change our entire world. We may all look at life in our own way, but when it comes down to it we all want change. 

My journey is my own, as yours is your own, but at the core of everything we're all in this together and that my friends is the idea that's going to change everything. 

We are the change we want to see
