We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall.
Proverbs 16:33
Hello! I suppose as my first blog post, I should introduce myself. MY name is Kayce, and I'm an anxiety-ridden hipster with a lot of stories to tell. My life is full of interesting people who have affected me in some way or another, some good, some bad, some...weird. In the 19 years I have been alive, I have never moved out of my small town in the sticks of Alabama. I have seen people come and go, met some characters, and had experiences that most would deem unpleasant, which is why I want to write about it. I see the good in everyone and every situation, and so at no point in this blog will I EVER put anyone down, say rude things, etc about any person, and anyone I write about will be anonymous. I don't like bullies, big or small. Anyways, back to my life story. I've been here my entire life, and in that time I have discovered who I am {for the most part.} I am a mixture of a hipster/hippie. I'm a Conservative Christian who has very...odd beliefs about certain things, not gonna go into detail. I love my church, my family, and my friends. I have a ginger hipster boyfriend, who is my sun and stars. I could write a whole post just bragging about him, but I'm not {sorry, honey.} I love the colors green, turquoise, yellow, and coral. Aromatherapy, meditation, and yoga are awesome, and I have a mild-borderline-obsession with BBC's "Sherlock" with Benedict Cumberpatch {C'mon, you can't NOT love that man!} I love to draw, write, and make up little stories in my head. Tea makes me happy, and art makes me smile, but books make me swoon. I love the smell of old bookstores and libraries, and I practically LIVE in our Barnes and Nobel. Christmas is my favorite holiday {I love Fall and Winter} and Halloween is a close second. Classic Rock makes me squeal, although I MAYYY have one or two {or a whole album} of One Direction {Hey, DON'Y JUDGE!}I also love classic novels, my favorite being "To Kill a Mockingbird". And I love psychiatric novels like "It's Kind Of a Funny Story." I'm a fascinating person with a sort of funny past and a bright future.
And now about my mental issues {Hey, better now then never.} I have had multiple issues with panic attacks/anxiety since I was twelve, due to a mixture of bullying and my own insecurities {bullying from teens and adults were a huge problem for me growing up, which is why I'm so against it. I don't like bullies, I don't care how old they are.} This February, I finally sought psychiatric help. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, a social phobia, as well as mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Depression. I try not to let it effect me too much, but sometimes I still get the occasional panic attack {medicine can only do so much...} It affects my relationships with friends and family, which kinda sucks, but I no lover let it control my life. I control it much better, and aromatherapy has also really made a difference. I hope one day it will go away, but for the meantime, I won't let it control my life anymore.
Well, that's it for tonight. Hope you guys enjoyed hearing about me! I'll be back next week for more stories!
Much love and hugs to all! Rock on!
