#I just really wanted to share that story

[erik-christine]

I watched a true crime video about an incredible woman named jennifer. it was a horrific story about how she was kidnapped, assaulted, and left for dead at the age of 8 with a slit throat on top of a fire ant hill. by all rights she should’ve died, but miraculously she survived - major arteries were missed and the ant bites shocked her sporadically, keeping her heart beating. she fought to earn her life back and the man who attacked her walked free. 20 years later, her testimony, given at the age of 8, allowed police to finally arrest him. she wrote out her statement of what she would say to him, the man who left her for dead. but he hung himself in his cell, taking that moment of justice away from her. later though, after he was buried, jennifer and her husband visited his grave and she read him her statement.

her words were powerful, “I am not a victim. I am victorious.” and she asked her husband if she thought the man heard her. her answer was the bite of a fire ant

Fun Story!

I lied. It wasn’t fun.

I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time last night. I “woke up” to the sensation of someone/something crawling onto my bed next to me. It was a smallish shadowy figure and when I woke, it scurried out and into the hall. Thank the Nine Realms I had my Loki plushie to protect me for the rest of the night ;)

bands, marble and oil paints!

bands:talk about a song/band/lyric that has affected your life in some way.

i’ll actually tell the story of how i got into bts, bc their music has made a really huge impact on my life. this might get a bit long so apologies?

so i was a few months into my junior year and i was sort of struggling with what i wanted to do with my life but like… unconsciously? basically i had convinced myself that the dream i had when i was 12 was still my dream bc i was scared of changing it (since everything i’d done up to that point was directing me toward that future? if that makes sense). so i was starting to really really like art and i knew that i’d found something i was passionate about, but everyone kept telling me that it was a nice hobby, but not something u can build a future on. i was really scared bc i had no idea what i wanted to do. and.. this sounds so lame but… basically i was listening to no more dream a lot at the time but i never really looked up the lyrics for some reason? and one night for whatever reason i decided to watch a lyric video and i just started crying bc i finally realized that i could do what i wanted to do with my life. and anyone who’s had that kind of experience probably knows how huge a realization that is. it was one of the most powerful experiences i’ve ever had.

so basically, bts is the reason i found the courage to follow my dreams.

marble: what is the most important thing to you in your life right now?

tbph my sister is always the most important thing to me… i feel like i talk about her a lot lmao but she’s really the only person in the world who i would trust with anything… + she just started high school and as her senior big sister i want to make sure she does well and doesn’t worry 2 much!!

oil paints: what would you title the autobiography of your life so far?

invisible by choice ???
