It’s crazy how we can push things back in the hopes of perfecting them? And then, that’s exactly where They stay.
En el cajón del olvido.
That’s what happened with this blog.
I wanted a space where I could keep a digital narration of life: the pretty, the ugly, and the funky in-between.
Pero los días pasan,
y otras cosas van tomando prioridad.
So, here we go.
First—quick-fire round on who I am:
- I’m Kristy (I go by Kris, even though no one calls me that and I refuse to admit it).
My dream is for people to call me Kiki, but they never do. - I grew up in the Dominican Republic and moved to Miami in 2018.
- I enlisted in the military in 2019 and I’m currently a Sergeant in the USMCR.
- Somehow, I transferred from a community college to Princeton University and graduated in 2025 in Public and International Affairs.
- Most of my life revolves around fitness. I’m pretty much certified in everything you can get certified in.
Putting on a mic fires me the f up. - I recently went through a big life transition and most of my life will now be lived on the go because of my corporate job.
My goal is to find (and build) community regardless… so here we are. - If you know me, you know khaotic is a pretty accurate word to describe me.
I’m a bit of a mess (but in a good way). I love being bold and going the extra mile.
Alright. Now that you know me, let’s get to the second question.
What is this blog?
I wish I could say this blog is for you, but in reality it isn’t.
This is my outlet.
So don’t expect a perfectly packaged “How to Get Abs in 2026” type of post. You’ll quickly realize this is all written by me… mostly by the number of times I mix up in, on, and at.
English and I are not friends.
Back to the point.
So much content today is curated.
The pictures we post.
The “organic” TikToks we scroll past.
The podcasts we half-listen to.
And I’m craving a space of honesty.
A space where I get to play with the ideas that take up room in my head, without expecting anything back.
Not a like.
Not a comment.
Not a follow.
I just want to write.
I want to write about leadership, training, grit, love, jealousy, fear, boldness, and aspiration.
I want to write about all of it.
This blog is our space to think freely.
An exchange of words and thoughts that only you and I will know about.
The first official entry is coming next Sunday,
and I couldn’t be more excited to do this with you by my side.
On the meantime, it is 10:13 PM, and I should go to sleep.
Until then.
xo,
Kris
