"Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life..."
There is so much living left to do,
I am following my feet
It’s about one moment.
Moments that define you
and moments that redefine you.
E: What is it that you want?
K: No one has ever asked me that before.
E: Well, I’m asking. What do you want?
K: I don’t know.
E: Well, which way are your feet pointed?
K: They are pointed forward.
E: So you are trying to move away from what you once were?
K: Yes.
E: So what is stopping you?
K: I don’t know.
E: Yes, you do. What is holding you back? What are you afraid of losing?
K: Myself. I’m afraid of losing myself.
E: Why are you trying to change directions then?
K: Because it needs to happen, I am just afraid.
E: Once you know, you will be able to do it

a presentation for school.
The power of words.
Paul Klee said “I create pour ne pas pleurer.” I create so as not to cry.
Mahatma Ghandi said “Be the change you want to see in the world”
I draw my idea from Pablo Neruda’s poem, The Word. Neruda is a Chilean poet and politician and he wrote this poem wherein the opening line is: “You can say anything you want, yes sir, but it’s the words that sing, they soar and descend ….I bow to them…I love them…”
The power of a word.
Our words, our different language registers allow us to navigate and communicate through the many worlds we are in. As a child I wrote plays and had them performed, I wrote monologues, poetry and stories that allowed me to express myself through my childhood, teen angst years and now as an adult. My career is a teacher, but I am a writer. In the higher education world I may throw around words such as pedagogy, theory, self-efficacy. In my teaching world I use literacy, numerous acronyms, and school success. In my classroom I use colloquialisms, Whudups, I'm in, and Peace out. I also use mutual respect, our “truths”, and empathy. My words hold power in the worlds in which I navigate. As I reflect on my world I am reminded of a phrase, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can shatter the soul”. I think this is true. Words like, NO, Can’t, Never, talent, right, standards, they all have power. The 10 year old girl inside me remembers when a boy told me that I could not sing. To this day I remember those words. I downright refused to sing for many, many years in front of other people. Interestingly enough I find myself in a theatre world where I direct musicals. I was forced to face my fear and sing in front of the students. With shaky hands and a red face I did a mock audition for my students. I sang a song with hesitancy, but their voices cheered me on. After I was done a 10 year old came up to me and said, “See Katy, singing isn’t that hard”. We have all heard no, can’t, never, before. And since we are here I am sure we have heard, can, do, and talent as well.
I’m going to switch gears. Silence also has power. The Day of Silence is a day that our high school participates in. "On the National Day of Silence hundreds of thousands of students nationwide take a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in their schools". My high school participated in this day that encourages us to be silent to remember those who did not have the voice to speak. I have dreams of using tableau images on this day to give students something to think about.
I could give you a list of my credentials, I could stand here and recite a list of my accomplishments, my background in the arts, how I play, or why I am even in this course. But little do you know I am just like you. With dark clouds and sunny days. I am privileged. Connections. Perhaps you are striving to make one with me now. To smile that knowing smile when I mention something you can relate to. To see your eyes open wider as I mention somewhere you have been or see the tears in your eyes if my story was able to connect to you on a deeper level. The power of words. And the power of silence all in one.
What I will tell you is: I am an arts advocate and I am a social justice advocate. I believe in the power of art to change, transform, make you think, affect you, entertain you, be cathartic, make it a little less boring, be used as an outlet, be used as a platform, learn and teach empathy, explore, challenge, reinvent, allow for play, to be beautiful, to explain, to understand and the list could go on and on.
I believe in the power of words and the power of silence.

new beginnings
today i had closure. it has been a whirlwind of a week and i feel that i have grown as a person. i talked to and saw my ex-boyfriend this week. i think that is the first time i have referred to him as my ex-boyfriend. we had a coffee today together and got caught up on the last year or so of our lives. seemingly leaving out details of other people we may or may not have seen throughout the year out of respect. it was a good coffee.
i also decided i am done talking about another man that was in my life and hurt me incredibly badly. he lied and denied much of what we had, he back pedaled and emailed and tried to talk to me about all of it, but i am done. it was hard to not respond to his emails. but every day it gets easier. through this i have confided in and gained a wonderful friend. so i look at this as a positive. i have gained perspective and a new outlook.
so today is the last day that i speak of him. today is the last day i let him hurt my heart. and today is the first day that i choose me, above everything, i choose me.
"hear my song
it'll help you believe in tomorrow
hear my song
it'll show you the way you can shine
hear my song
it was made for the time
when you don't know where to go
listen to the song that i sing
you'll be fine"

Songs for a New World - Opening
" a new world calls across the ocean
a new world calls across the sky
a new world whispers in the shadows
time to fly, time to fly
it's about one moment
the moment before it all becomes clear
and in that one moment
you start to believe there is nothing to fear
it's about one second
and just when you're on the verge of success
the sky starts to change and the wind starts to blow
and you're suddenly a stranger
there's no explaining where you stand
and you don't know
but you sometimes have to go
'round an unexpected bend
and the road will end
in a new world"
a new world calls across the sky

together we cry.
why is it that bad things always happen to good people?
maybe you could find solace in knowing your body knows what is best for you.
maybe not.
maybe you could live with the saying, "everything happens for a reason"
maybe not.
maybe you could remember that time will heal.
maybe not.
maybe this will make you stronger.
maybe not.
maybe we just have to accept that horrible things happen, for no reason and we can hope that the emptiness will subside.
maybe we just need to have hope.
maybe not.

World's Weight
balance. life is all about balance.
it is also about love and happiness and sacrifce.
the worlds weight is making my shoulders hurt. but if i stop trying to help, then i feel like i am giving up. i feel like i will be choosing what is important and what isnt. and it is all important, to someone, somewhere.
intuitive. easy to read people.
my virtue is my vice.

"Fix You" - Coldplay
When you try your best, but you dont succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try then you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

But if you never try then you'll never know

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

looking for love in all the wrong places.
instantly connected. ability to read, easily. need to replicate, duplicate, recreate.
searching. waiting.
but feeling serene.
enjoying life and what it has to give me.

"lovin life and feeling groovy."
one can only measure success if you have known failure, no one can know hate without love, it's impossible to know happiness if there was no sadness.
i know all of these things.
moving on. you were both a success and a failure. i hated you and loved you. you also showed me happiness through incredible sadness. you were my double sided coin, and i figured out the trick. you helped to shape me, but i am created in my own image only. i await one year. i await it with my eyes closed and my arms open. you did not defeat me. i still love with my whole heart, because anything less would not be who i am.

november 2009.
one time you old me of a card that you received that had a huge impact on you. perhaps you like to receive cards then. i have been replaying over and over in my head the last few months. i guess i think once it is really said we will have to deal with it and inevitably our relationship will change. i like you. like a school girl with a crush, i like you. there are many things i chose to do because you were there. you would be surprised at what i chose to do so that i could hang out with you. knowingly and unknowingly. for a while i assessed whether i thought that i truly liked you, or it was easy, convenient, there. my feelings did not falter.
regardless of what you think of this i want to thank you for opening my eyes to the possibility of someone who would treat me excellently, love me whole heartedly and that i deserve that.
i wouldn't say this if i didn't mean it, and i wouldn't risk it all if i didn't feel i had to. it is what it is, and it will be what it will be.

pieces.
when i love, i love with my whole heart. i don't know any other way. and when my heart breaks, it takes time for it to mend itself. i readily give away pieces of myself, openly and whole-heartedly, and when they are not returned, i shatter.
picking up the pieces.

"find a way to smile and never let it get away"
they said things would get better. they are.
they said that the first year would be hard. it is.
they said i deserve better. i do.
they said that i should have gotten out of it a long time ago. i know.
they said you only hear what you want to. it's true.
they said to get back on the horse. i did.
they said i should do what makes me happy. literally, ha.
they said it will just take time. how much?
they said do not run away. i won't.
they said to just jump. i'm thinking about it.
they said i should find my way to smile. i am.
forever. i am.

opportunity. closure. optimism.
"i'ts been a long december, but i have reason to believe, that maybe this year will be better than the last. i can't remember all those times i tried to tell myself, to hold on to these moments as they pass" - counting crows
so one door closes and a window pops open. but the window is a bit more dangerous. a little high off the ground, and i am afraid of heights. but it looks so nice outside the window. you can get a pretty good view of whats going on from this angle, even if i havent hopped through it yet. i think ill try my best to climb through it. perhaps it is just what i need.
"slowly getting closure, i guess its really over. i'm finally getting better and now im picking up the pieces, spending all of these years, putting my heart back together. cause the day i never thought id get through, i got over you." -chris daughtry

you are just not worth my thoughts and time...yet still you linger.
i cannot erase you. i dont want to forget you. you will ensure that i never,

i thought you were my best friend, i thought i was lucky to be in love with my best friend
....
and here i am. paving a new way. doing nice things for good people,
just because people need to know how great they are. to me.
people need to be reminded of who cares.
i am surrounded by good people...so why do i feel so...

"i wonder if i ever cross your mind"
what a night. what a week. perhaps it is just what i need.
sometimes you just gotta let things go.
"I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. When people walk away from you, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anyone that left. And it doesn't mean they are a bad person, it just means their part in your story is over".

a year later. i am wiser.
January 22, 2009.
dear d,
i know you are one of those people who appreciate letters....well emails...hahaha. I know you are generally the go to person, i assume. sensitive. can understand what is going on to some extent. okay, here goes...i need someone to listen, but i am not very good with speaking...i am better with writing, formulating, correcting, editing. don't even know if i will send this. i think it would be shocking if i did, it's so not me.
i wish you could read me always...like i know you can mostly. it's like i have a hint of sadness or anger and you see it and react. i presume this leads to much of our conflict. you are too in tune, if there is such a thing.
you asked me today if i was okay....well here goes...
i am not okay. i think i live in a fairy tale. am i crazy? i plan things out. all the time. preemptive attacks that occur on a daily basis. it's like there is a fucking military in my head.
i want to get married. i want to be happy. to be happy. am i blinded by all around me. how do i not see, that i am not...it is not...what do i fear? the answer seems simple: i don't want to be alone. the ultimate fear: being alone, and in doing so, will i ultimately be better? mistakes. we all make them. sometimes an eraser will come along and all that is left is a noticable smudge, but in life there is not erasers (i read that once). no erasers. so what if i am wrong.
i am so angry and sad. i think that is why i look so angry and sad. how do i escape? rhetorical questions.
what if i continue on this path? will i reach ultimate happiness?
how do you know? they say you just know.
what if i dont?
my whole life i have been playing catch up. being forever ahead, by any means necessary. when do i get caught up? when does it stop?
i am so tired. so tired. so tired and confused.
love,
-k

if you're wondering if i want you to...
still in love.
i usually get what i want.
im starting to think that this time it will not be the case.
Sometimes I give away so many pieces of myself that I am afraid I will not get enough pieces back to make myself whole again. In my times of need I find myself reaching out to people from my past. That comfortability and compassion from someone who I feel knows the true person I am is usually what I need the most. A fresh start.
vacay time.

Sometimes I give away so many pieces of myself that I am afraid I will not get enough pieces back to make myself whole again. In my times of need I find myself reaching out to people from my past. That comfortability and compassion from someone who I feel knows the true person I am is usually what I need the most. A fresh start.
vacay time.

another year older. another year wiser.
i am better.
i have no doubt that this years low-key birthday will be better than last year.
another year stronger. another year happier.
i am passionate.
i am blessed and humbled by those around me everyday.
another year living. another year aging.
i am braver.
i am excited for the days to come, and live each day for the day.

always the rule.
picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future.
maybe the happy ending is this:
through all the unreturned phone calls and broken hearts
through all the blunders and misread signals
through all the pain and embarrassment
you never, ever gave up hope.

pleurer
don't tell me i can't, because i will just prove you wrong. don't tell me i won't because my will is too strong. don't tell me my limits, my margins, or what's holding me back. don't tell me not to dream big, not to stand tall, or what i lack. forever will i be growing, forever will it be, but whatever i am doing, i am doing it for me.

but i just can't make you love me
it's impossible.
and unfair.
and makes me a bit sad.
i am head over heels for a guy
and it is making me crazy.

I got to keep on moving.
"We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all." - Eleanor Roosevelt
I will be a good person even if you do not treat me well.
I will be a happy person even if you make me sad.
I will be a trusting person even if you break a promise.
I will be an intelligent person even if you put me down.
I will be a great friend even if you do not always reciprocate.
I will be a giving person even if you do not give back.
I will never stop loving.
"Ain't nothing gonna break my stride,
Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no,
I got to keep on moving" - Wilder Matthew
