Catching Up

It's been awhile, hasn't it? Nearly two years I believe. As the years have gone by I have adapted to my life in Camas, learning to enjoy the experience and love my new life. Embracing the fact that I'm a junior in high school and soon to be 18 years old, I've come to find out that time truly does fly by. To be completely honest, restarting my blog was not my idea and hadn't even crossed my mind until last week when school began again. My writing teacher, the amazing Mr. Anderson, told us that this year we are going to keep a blog, write poems, non fiction and fiction stories, and also a complete novel. Yes, a NOVEL. As I sat there in my seat surrounded by my peers, who's names I had never bothered to learn in my two years of attending the same school and classes with, I thought, "hey, I already have a blog, why not just add to it?" So here I am, on day one of many to come, writing out my thoughts, careless as to who might read them. Most likely no one, except perhaps my teacher. I know that it is more likely I will stay invisible in this little world and you know what? I'm okay with that. I'm okay with not being the center of attention, with just blending in. I am not writing for you, not for my peers or even for my teacher, but for myself. It's funny because I'm typically such a private person, hating when people(or more specifically my parents) know details of my life, but as I lay here on my carpeted bedroom floor, I don't have a care in the world who reads this. This is me, the real me, the raw me. Just Kenna. Welcome to my life, I hope you enjoy the ride.
