note to self: i’ll be there for you, always

written june 6, 2021. Photo by Kristine Cinate on Unsplash I have always looked for myself in other people. I think the idea was that they would somehow hold the pieces of me that I felt were missing. That maybe, if I wrapped my identity up in theirs enough, we would somehow make a whole person. It's not healthy to live like this, but I did it anyway — burning through relationships and searching for something I couldn't quite name. It was never enough, not to be myself, but it was never enough to latch my identity to other people, either. I got close, several times — I thought I had reached the pinnacle of self discovery. I thought I had completed myself. But in the end, relying on other people to help build yourself is never a viable way to do things. It's only recently that I've started to become comfortable with the idea of being enough, as I am, on my own. Several years ago, in this same position, I would have searched for another person to attach my identity onto,...

This is Who I AM!

For those of you new to my blog, and those of you just getting to know me, and for those of you who just want to know more about me, I thought I'd share this bio on me, originally posted on KOF. It also contains a sort-of picture of me. :D Here it is~


My name is Kylie. I am a twelve-year-old homeschooled girl who loves Jesus and wants to make loving him the center of my life. I’ve been a Christian for 9 years, and although the road is tough, I wouldn't change it for the world.

I am a very avid fan of the Chronicles of Narnia, and also C.S. Lewis, because of the tremendous allegory in the series. I've been homeschooled all my life and absolutely love it! I love to write, mostly fictional stories, and I especially love it when I write with my friends. I am hoping to be published eventually, perhaps in Christian magazines, and my dream is to get at least one book published.

I love to read, especially Christian fantasy and historical fiction ~ any book with a great plot, really! I love the pioneer, colonial, and renaissance eras, and bonnets, aprons, and medieval dresses & capes all have a place in my world. I consider myself an "old-fashioned" girl since those sorts of things appeal to me. I also enjoy photography, knitting, crocheting, jewelry making, sewing, HTML, learning to experiment with graphics, and also fiddling around on my acoustic Fender guitar that the Lord blessed me with.

My desire for KOF [and my other blogs] is to encourage kids in their walk for God and set them on fire for Jesus!

Thank you for stopping by! I read every single comment and love them all. Seriously, it makes my day. I do my best to comment back!

My only rule is basic respect and honor. Disagreement is accepted, but hate and trolling is not. Otherwise, say what you need to say, and have fun. And don't forget to grab a free complimentary mint on your way out.
