So once upon a time, I created my own blog. The end.
What exactly is the point of a blog? Well, some people use it as a means of sharing their personal stories with the world. Others insist that the reason is purely for pleasure. Yes, there are even some people that use it for business related materials. As for me, it's just because I want some way to express my opinions and stories for my own memory. Maybe you guys will get a kick out of my life too- who knows? Anyway, I'll just get on with it and stop typing on and on about why I'm doing this. :)
For an introduction, you probably have already guessed that my name is Krissy. I live in a little apartment in a medium-sized college town and exist as a small member of a massive world. I like to take pictures and would love to plan events like fancy parties and weddings, but for now, I just plan little kids' birthday parties. In addition to that, I work two other jobs: I'm a piano teacher and the executive secretary of a dance academy. Do I dance? Negative. However, I do sing, and thanks to some awesome people, I've had some amazing opportunities to grow in the performing world with my voice and extensive piano experience.
Despite my love of music, I am a business major with a marketing emphasis. I love to talk, so that happens to be an amazing field for me to go into since you obviously have to pitch ideas to a number of people as a marketing specialist (which includes talking and sharing your opinion). I love the competitive nature of business. It's freeing in its structural nature ( and that makes sense to me although it may not make sense to you). That attitude transfers to just about every other sphere of my life. I'm driven, passionate, thick-skinned, and I am a fierce competitor. I'll warn you now: if you get in my way, it will simply be a moment before I cream you. I don't ever back down an offer for a challenge, so check yourself. I will fight you. ;)
With that said, I do have a slight disclaimer- I'm not quite as scary as I sound- I am actually quite relaxed in a normal setting. I won't sugar coat it- I am a softy beneath my thick hide. More than anything, I enjoy helping people with their problems and identifying with people so that they feel accepted. I don't know everything- in fact, I know very little in the grand scheme of things- but I do feel like I have some things to contribute to this world, one of the greatest gifts being understanding. I get you. If I don't get you, it's OK, because I will accept you. I figure that we are all a little weird in our own way. The ones that consider themselves too cool for you are just the lost souls that don't have a clue who they are themselves. It's a coverup. Don't worry about it- they'll figure it out someday. Just work on finding your own person and building your own self-confidence, because in the end, that's all that's going to matter. Be who you are and stick to your guns. That's me ( You'll hear more about my philosophies on human interaction in the future- it's probably one of the most fascinating things on the planet, so I'll gab about it all the time, no worries).
Well, I don't want to make this sound belabored or overdone- I can't really squeeze my lifetime of thought and experience into a single blog. However, I thought it was probably a good idea, if only for myself, to get a small sense of who I am out in the open. Now that I've done that, I'll conclude this entry with an explanation of my blog title. "Letters From the Attic," is a song I wrote a while back that basically sums up what I'm all about: I'm just a simple girl with a regular life. I don't consider myself a poet or a scholar of many things, but I do have a lot of passion and conviction that I hold in my heart. I think a lot (sometimes overthink), plan a lot, and do a lot, but many of those things are still silent or hidden right now. My writings, or my ideas and thoughts, are done in the quiet moments and aren't always shared, but they never leave me, just like a decade-old letter that has been preserved for memory. Yah, it's a little bit of a tacky comparison, but it seems like it works for me, and that's all that matters.
We'll see where this thing goes!
Until next time
-Krissy
