I just finished my INTERPERSONAL COLAGE PRESENTATION for my Communications 135 class and I presented it off of here so that's what the last post was and now I want to give it some context with my script. Keep in mind I went off my script a bit and because of that, I had to cut some stuff out so the script is like a rough draft vs what I actually said. I included my rubric at the end if you're interested.

This is my website Totally Ky. Hi, I’m Ky. I blog as a hobby about stuff I care about such as the lgbtqia+ community, mental health, body positivity and other crap like that. So this is The (abridged) poetic autobiography of my life this (so) [thus] far . . . It's a working title for this book *holds up notebook I’m working on, its inspired by this book *holds up book (The Princess saves herself in this one). It’s an autobiography in poem form. I love to read and write. This is my writing notebook it also doubles as a coloring book *flips through some pages.
Coincidentally I blog on Tuesdays so I open with Happy Tuesday everyone.
I was born Dec 22 in 1997. I am 19 years old about to turn 20. I started out a platinum blond baby (if you can kind of tell by my school pictures) I eventually evolved to what you see now. I went through a phase where I dyed my hair black. This picture here is more recent.
I’m an English major here at Mesa. This is my third semester. I graduated from Madison highschool in 2016.

I have lived in San Diego my whole life. More specifically my comfort zone is Clairemont I live ten minutes from here.
My safe spaces though are bookstores and libraries. I love reading. I feel very comforted surrounded by books. (The picture here is my boyfriend taking me on a bookstore date)

In the wise words of experiment 636"This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's little and broken but still good. Yeah, still good." - Stitch (Lilo and Stitch)
(This is my mom and me before I went to prom with my best friend here. I wore a tux and looked better than all the guys in the place) My mom divorced my biological dad when I was two years old. As I mentioned because he was a drug addict and an alcoholic and it eventually killed him. Last year he was under the influence of something and he held his girlfriend hostage with a gun and the police shot him to death. (Don’t do drugs kids. Stay in school.)
His absence, while I was growing up, gave me severe abandonment issues. He didn’t just hurt me the one time he left. He hurts me every time someone in my life leaves. It’s like a chain reaction. He also gave me low self-esteem because I blamed myself for him leaving. He is my greatest pain.
After the divorce, we moved into my grandma and great-grandpa's house and I’ve lived there ever since. I was very close with my great-grandpa growing up he was the most stable father figure in my life. In 2015 he passed away. It was really hard. He didn't leave me all alone though I like to think he sent me Daniel.

We met our senior year of high school. I fell for him very fast but I was terrified of loving another person and having them leave me, my biggest fear. I put up walls to protect myself from him but luckily he broke them down (Obviously). This valentines day we will have been together for two years. (In the picture we’re on a Ferris wheel in LA. Another of my fears is heights that’s why I’m not having the photo opp up there.)
This is my cat Poody making a derp face. This is my cat again and then our family dog Milo and my sister's cat Penny.

My biggest crisis is right here. (School picture where my face is scribbled out) I was diagnosed with PMDD which stands for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It has to do with all those fun female hormones. Some of my symptoms are insomnia, depression, anxiety often in forms of panic attacks and I used to hallucinate.
I was treated with birth control to regulate my hormones and Zoloft for depression and anxiety.
My biggest support systems besides my mom and my bf are my friends. I have a very small circle of close friends bc I need people who are really going to be there when I need them and aren’t going to leave.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no way to smoothly segway into my next talking point so I’m just going to come out and say it. I’m in the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s a big part of my identity.
(the pictures here are me volunteering at pride bc I’m too cheap to buy a ticket and this is a road trip stop where I visited the Castro district in SF.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Now the big question is would I change anything?
And the answer is no, I wouldn’t change anything. All of these things make me who I am. It isn’t easy but at the end of the day, my goal for myself is to love who I am and be happy.
