I am a Rock?

I like to think of myself as a Rock,  truth is, I’m probably more like a pebble. I’m persistent… I get kicked around, I roll with it and land somewhere new where I settle in until the next thing happens.  I’ve got both smooth and jagged edges, I’m often deeper than I appear on the surface.

If you ask someone I’m as hard headed as a rock sometimes.. okay most times. And sometimes I’m someone else’s rock.

When it comes to asking for help, I have no problem with that. In my family we did that, helped each other. The problem is sometimes I don’t realize I need help, and sometimes I wait for others to see that I’m struggling and offer to help. Apparently I’m pretty good at looking like A) I know what I’m doing, B) like I’ve got it under control,  C) don’t want help or D) I’ve gotten myself into a situation NO ONE else wants to be a part of. 

I’m disappointed sometimes sure, and I get upset. Whatever happens I weather the storm and have made it through so far and in the end maybe I learn something. Maybe I realize I’m stronger than I think…

Maybe…

Remember I am a rock and hard headed…

Kawanee was born in Alexandria Louisiana but her first real memories are of Russellville Arkansas. She's always loved to read, and has always had an vivid imagination. She grew up in a house where almost everyone read, they didn't need a TV although she could still be found planted on her butt in front of her grandma's TV watching cartoons on Saturday mornings. She made up her first story with her mother when her cat died; it was about where pets go when they die. She continued to create stories from bad dreams she had and her dad would help her change nightmares to stories. They would sit up in a chair until the scary went away. He told her that: "Dreams, good or bad, are just stories your mind makes up. You are the author of your dreams; if you don't like them rewrite them. " She was hooked and has continued to read and write stories drawing from dreams, sights and just pure imagination. She just recently decided she'd like to try and get published and fail than wonder what if. Her story continues but where it goes from here is up to you, the Reader... She hopes you'll join her in finding out where her journey goes from here!
