I live a life just outside convention, thinking of myself rather like a nice spicy vanilla. I’ve reinvented myself countless times and will no doubt continue to do so until I die. I’ve lived drunk and sober, married and single, straight and gay. I’ve been the professional and the student, the leader and the loyal follower, the lover and latchkey kid.
All too many times, I’ve been smart and stupid, wise and very unwise, kind and sadly cruel. I’ve looked in the mirror to find Coach, Clown, Laura Croft, Jabba the Hut with a little Road Kill in between.
You name it, I’ve probably given myself that title too. It’s exhausting living by labels. Here’s to just being the multi-faceted Kellie, striving to be the best possible person she can be in our wonderfully complex world.
