My name is Kirsten Armstrong. I like to imagine what life was like a hundred years ago and I believe everyone has a purpose. I've loved and lost, gained and fought, dreamt and feared. To me the majority of people undermine the world's opportunities and what life has in store for them. Life is such a delicate idea, so fresh, yet millions of years old.
I grew up in a struggling family. We fought for unity. We fought for love. But we also fought for money, health, and respect. I grew up in a family fighting to be understood. This fight infected, not only my family relationships, but every relationship. I fought love. I fought commitment. I fought intimacy. I fought it all, until one day a piece of me broke. Since then, I've decided to decode different aspects of life. Usually relationships, but also thought, and everything, and nothing. I want to grasp the complexity, the lust, the emotions. In order to do so, I need to continue my investigation into life. And the only way to pursue this is to live. This blog depicts my fight for an understanding - a truly clear, philosophical understanding - of my life.
I may not hold the answers now. And I may never. But if I continue my fight, will you continue to experience? Because life isn't all about the raw knowledge, it's about making memories, challenging your fears, and believing in your abilities. I'm not a writer. I'm not a philosopher. I'm an artist. And so are you.
xoxo
Kirsten Armstrong
