Okay, I got sidetracked with the Taylor Swift note, should we "begin again"-again?
HELLO BLOG! Remember me? Kelly? No, me either. That's because life has seriously been crazy town and blogging has been a total bust for so many reasons but I'm back! And I'm so ready to write. I have put my old posts to drafts, revamped my pages, and am now ready to take on the internet and then maybe take a nap? I have high priorities, I know.
Regardless, I thought I would just reintroduce myself, I'm sharing this post on Instagram, so I'll probably have a few people stop by from there (Hi mom!) and I'll also be reposting some old material, as well as some new stuff in the coming weeks!
Awww! It feels so good to be back on Kelly Meets World, I've missed this sweet little space of mine, if you're old: welcome back and if you're new: took you long enough! I mean, welcome. Gosh, I'm not good at this sort of thing, erm, let's begin again-again-again shall we?
Hey, hello, hi! My name is Kelly and that is a very large, very serious, picture of my face.
This is my blog and I'm not entirely sure how to introduce myself, since this is the internet and all, but I'll give it my best go:
As I've said before, my name is Kelly, I'm a recent high school graduate (which I'm told isn't much of an accomplishment but don't you dare tell me I did 12 years of school and accomplished something small!) and a recent independent resident of the big bad world. I'm sassy, awkward and probably inappropriate, I laugh a lot, have my book in a nose often, joke around more than I should and communicate best with my writing.
I feel like most blogs I read have a tag line or a mantra, and I'm not sure what mine is. I don't know much, but I do know this: I love Jesus. I love the way He can refine me, shape me and break me and that it can be done in a beautiful, messy, glorifying way. I know that who I am today is a much different person than the Kelly from a few years ago, even a few months ago, and I know that it is only by the grace of God and the goodness that He has blessed me with that I am who I am.
I'm far from perfect, I'm obnoxious, tell lame jokes, and am fully a product of the homeschooled environment I spent the last few years in. But there is something so completely enthralling about this journey that I'm on that I couldn't stay quiet. So! Here I am, in this neat and tidy little corner of the internet, pouring my heart out to a bright screen and a bunch of people who google strange things and somehow come across this blog. Some think that that's weird, I think that it is too. But also cool.
I guess enough rambling and more about me! Yay! I love talking about me (jokes)!
I have no idea what to do with my life, but I do have a passion for youth and investing in them and pointing them to Jesus. I grew up in a small town and am now living in a "big city". I'm adventuring out in my own little world, learning to live life and doing it with some incredible people, including my very handsome, very talented and ever so patient personal slave boyfriend, Colin. By day I'm a pre school teacher, by night I'm a journaling fiend who occasionally whips out my mac and spills my guts to the interwebs. I love the church, eating unhealthy amounts of pizza, Netflix, sports, spring time, traveling, talking about the gospel, avoiding chores, teaching little kids, learning new things, long boarding, hiking, large bodies of water, not washing my hair, Pinterest, and a lot of other people, places and things.
I'm not sure how to end this little tidbit, I've never been good with goodbyes, mostly I sneak out but I can't really do that here. The internet is weird. Anyways: Thank you for stopping by, for whatever reason, wherever you are. I would love to hear from you, you can connect with me here, or the social media buttons that are to the left and right below my face or you know find me in a hammock in Portugal reading Anne of Green Gables because that's what I do with my life. (Just kidding, I'm pretending to be an adult and so I have bills to pay.)
Kick off your internet shoes and stay awhile, why don't you?
