Continue reading →: A Monster of My Own MakingI’m sitting in a nice little coffee shop today, hoping that the change of scenery would catapult me out of this rut I’ve been in. Nice big windows, good coffee, and a couple of hours alone should do me some good, I think to myself. After eating my brunch, as…

Continue reading →: A Reality So RelentlessRecently on Threads I saw the question “What is an adult problem you weren’t prepared for?” The first thing that came to my mind was it never stops. It’s one thing after another after another after another, always. The mundane things don’t stop, like bills and laundry and packed lunches.…

Continue reading →: InevitableI was just a random girl taking a photo of a random guy. He was co-hosting the event with a friend of mine, and I asked them to pose together for a quick shot. They posed, they smiled, and we all went our own way. I vaguely remember thinking he…

Continue reading →: A Girl Through TimeI felt the leaves crunch under my feet as we walked up the path. It was a cool day, with a light breeze that complemented the warm sunlight. I kept my hands in my dress pockets, and my eyes on the trees that grew all along the path. Trees are…

Continue reading →: Opportunity or Trap?I’ve never been comfortable with the idea that God “tests” us. It didn’t seem to fit with the God that I personally believe in, the one who is of infinite mercy and unconditional love. Isn’t testing the kind of thing that happens in abusive relationships? Isn’t it a maneuver employed…

Continue reading →: The Air Feels Different HereThere’s something about 2025, I don’t quite know what it is. When I think about it, it feels a little bit like a balloon bursting, like an overflow of something that just cannot be contained. The last few years have felt like seeds where being planted, soil being overturned; this…

Continue reading →: MiraculousI blinked my eyes slowly, waiting for them to adjust to the darkness. The comforting blue-gray that filled the world just before the break of dawn is my favorite time of day; that short window when everything is soft and quiet, nary a worry or a soul stirring. Beside me,…

Continue reading →: The Despair of DesireHow dare he. How dare he deny me. I stood there as it replayed in my mind like a cruel memory: the look in his eyes, the recoil of his body, the feeling of his weight as he struggled; how I almost fell backwards as I clutched at his cloak…

Continue reading →: The Girl Who’s Going to Be OkayThere’s this trope or trend on TikTok where the protagonist, a young woman on the cusp of independence and transformation, stops and turns towards the camera while looking off into the distance, sighs, and smiles.

Hello,
I’m Kris
Wife to an amazing man and mother to two crazy kids I would burn the whole world down for. I love to write, and so I write. I also love to draw, but I’m not very good at it. I do real estate and own a business. It’s a lot. And it’s a mess, sorry I didn’t have time to fix up. Come in, but watch your step! There’s probably some spilled snacks on the floor. And some Legos. But that’s okay, the couch is cozy and the coffee is hot. Let’s make chika!
