4 and 15

4. What do you think about the most?

Usually lesson planning, recently it’s been the upcoming long weekend.

15. How do you vent your anger?

I don’t really get angry very often, so the method varies. Often its a slow controlled release, like a pressure cooker.

Thanks for the ask!

89, 99, 79, 14

14. If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?

I’m likely going somewhere. 

79. What is the single best decision that you have made in your life so far?

At this stage, what strikes me as that key event, is the decision I made to eavesdrop over a small gaggle (3, or maybe 4) girls who I sat near in the lounge of St. Joseph’s College, University of Alberta. They ended up being a funny group, and they heard me audibly laugh at them and invited me over. 

Consequently that’s how I met my pseudo-sister, and brain-mate. The friendships that have spun off of knowing extraneousaccessories and champagne-stars have been with some of the best people I have had the honour of knowing. I am so thankful for their presence in my life, and they are some of the best reasons I’ve had in the past for not giving in to the shadows.

89. What would be a question you’d be afraid to tell the truth on?

At one stage, the answer to this question would have been anything to do with my sexuality. I think at this juncture, it might be related to mental health? I’m not sure.

99. If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say?

Stop political apathy

Yellow

Yellow: 7 facts about my childhood

1. I’m the oldest of seven children. My oldest brother was born when I was 3; my youngest, when I was 16.

2. There is only one bedroom in my mum’s house that wasn’t mine at some point during the years I grew up there.

3. My parents both worked so I spent a lot of time at my paternal grandparents’ house when I was little. They played a very big part in shaping me as a person.

4. I was often called ‘Snow White’ by people when I was little because I had black hair and pale skin. My mum even got me my own Snow White dress.

5. This is a really hipster thing to say (sorry!) but I was indeed introduced to Harry Potter, by a friend of my dad’s, before it ever blew up over here. I must have been about 7 or 8 - I finished the Philosopher’s Stone in three days, and from then on it played a big part in my childhood. The first film came out just shy of my 11th birthday, so my dad took a friend and I to see it as my birthday treat. I remember buying chocolate frogs at the cinema and thinking it was the best day ever.

6. I played with Barbies long past the time my friends stopped playing with them - I had a favourite who I called Kristen and I would invent soap opera-esque storylines for her and her family of dolls. I had a large box of Barbies I used to take with me anywhere I was staying.

7. I was always known for being clever and coming top in my school subjects (particularly English), and I was chairperson of the school council in my last year of primary school.

Thank you dear!Colour my ask box :)

Dear *anyone*

Hey there. Thanks for picking up this letter, stranger. I want you to know how lovely the world can be. Take a moment. Breathe deep. Smell the free air. Feel your chest expand with life. Close your eyes. Feel the wind ruffling your hair, caressing your face. Sort through the files in your mind. Find your favorite. Pull it out, take a look. remember how it made you feel. 

The world can be a scary place sometimes, I know. Other people, your own head, crazy big things that we don’t get trained for and don’t have any control over. Sometimes it feels like there’s so much wrong out there that we can’t even begin to sort out how we could ever make it right. I know.

It will not be this way forever. Take my hand. You don’t have to know where we’re going, I don’t either. We just need to walk. One foot in front of the other. We just need to lift up our heads and see the green grass and wild world on the side of the road. Hear the whisper of beauty all around us. Find light in the small places. Hold on tight, to ourselves, to each other.

Thanks for picking up this letter, stranger. I hope it helps you to know that I am here, and that we can be alright. May harmony find you.

Yours very truly,

~K

Dear wizzlybear, 

Hello, my friend, I hope this letter finds you well. We haven't been seeing as much of each other as I'd like lately, so this is a good opportunity for me to tell you some things. 

Firstly, I am so very glad that we are friends. We've been through some rough stuff together, and I've always marveled at what an amazing person you are. Your passion and dedication, miraculous organizational skills, and constant support amaze me at every turn. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life and to get to know all of the wonderful parts of you. Thank you for understanding about things like introversion, travel, music, harry potter, and TUXIS. You just get it, and I've always appreciated that. 

Secondly, thanks for being such a goof. You are my favorite wizard grizzly bear, and I love that we can sit in a car together and make up songs about the things that would happen on our sailing ship. Our crazy is a special kind of crazy, and it's amazing. 

Thirdly, I've always wanted to tell you how in awe I am of your incredible talents, and how happy I am for you that you're doing a thing you love and seeing the world. Like...I don't know, it just really makes my day to see a craftsperson as fine as yourself plying their trade and loving every minute of it. What you do is very beautiful to me, and I bow to your superior mastery of your craft. 

Fourth and finally, thanks for putting up with all of....this. I'm not always the easiest person to be around, and I'm not always the most organized or considerate person about the place, and you're always so very patient with me and let me muddle along until I get it sorted out. In short, thanks for always being there. I know I haven't always said it out loud, but it's always meant so much to me to have you on my side. I hope this is friends for life. 

Yours affectionately, 

~K
