"Let me feel one more time what it feels like to feel alive
And break these callouses off of me one more time"Let's see, a general outline of me? Hmm. Well, my name is Kristie. I'm 20 years old. I'm tall, am forcing myself to grow out my dark brown hair, have had glasses for about as long as I can remember, and have eyes that like to change colors between blue and green. I've played piano since I was seven, and violin since I was nine. I'm in the process of immigrating to Canada, but I grew up in the United States. Next fall I'm planning on starting college training in order to become a Vet Tech. I have three cats: a five-year-old calico named Cookie, an eleven-week-old Egyptian Mau mix kitten named Anakin Skywalker (we call him Ani), and a ten-week-old American Shorthair mix named Jazu. I'm pansexual with a general tilt towards lesbianism. My fiancee and I have been together for nearly four years now--thus the reason I'm moving to Canada. My papers haven't gone through yet, so I am currently without a work permit and health insurance. My baby works and supports all of us in this tiny one room apartment, and I sit at home by myself being a generally purposeless "housewife." It doesn't suit me.
This is where the notice to my friends on Gaia comes in; I apologize for my prolonged absence, but I'm finding it difficult to be social. I believe that I may be developing minor clinical depression, and without health insurance, the only "meds" I have at my disposal are forced daily walks in the sunshine, music, and human contact (whenever I can muster up the motivation to engage in it). I still care about all of you, but it may be awhile still until I can get myself and my emotions working properly again. Right now my biggest focus is on trying to to keep myself away from self-destructive behavior, as I have a tendency to engage in self-mutilation and otherwise mentally unhealthy practices when I feel purposeless for extended periods of time. I'm doing mostly okay with that; my last big slip-up was in May, but it's something I have to be careful about. Anyway, I am sorry that I've basically vanished off of the side of the Earth, but I need to bring myself back to life before I can promise to resurrect my friendships.
Take care,
~Miniji, October 19th.
