Bio
“We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn't mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It's a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them.” - Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
Healing can come from a variety of different places.
It can come from God himself. It can come from medicine. It can come from time.
But perhaps the most underrated place healing comes to us is from story.
Our stories.
We all have a story, and I whole-heartedly believe our stories have the power to change everything.
I don’t mean the kind of story you share on your Instagram.
I mean the raw, ugly, vulnerable story you may tell only to yourself when you lay your head on your pillow at night.
The real you may be the very real thing this world needs to heal.
My hope for this publication is that it makes others feel seen because I am allowing others to fully see me. I believe the more we leave space for vulnerability, the less space there is for hate to enter.
I want to share the real me so you are encouraged to share the real you, too.
I can’t promise consistency, at least for now. It has never been my strength; see: From Meme to Seen ... an Essay.
But I am slowly learning to take the right next step.
So, with a whole lot of real, a strong bit of humor, and definitely some run-on sentences and em-dashes, I am here.
A Karen.
Trying to do non-Karen things, at least in the eyes of culture and the internet.
The world needs better Karen’s.
Real Karen’s.
Unlike MySpace, this is real space. For real people.
