about me

you can call me Kristen. I'm your resident sentimental crafty girl obsessed with journaling, memory keeping + writing it all down. I am chronically logged on, and for the past 4 years, I've leaned into documenting the mundane and magical of my life in digital and analog ways. welcome!

the facts

I am, among many other things: a 31 year old aries; born, raised and residing in Canada; a proud lesbian with the sweetest long-distance girlfriend in the world; physically disabled and neurodivergent, happily assisted on occassion by my powerchair named Josephine. I'm also a PhD student in my 5th (and possibly final?) year. I'm grappling with both the job search and trying to reconnect with my identity outside of being a perpetual student, so welcome to that journey.
