My name is Krysti and I have a lot of thoughts.
That’s all you need to know, really.
But… what else?
I almost always have a book in my purse and I am 1000% committed to the idea of owning a raccoon as a pet one day. I’m a 5 on the Enneagram and an ISTJ, if you’re into that kind of thing. (I’m very into it.)
I used to write all the time, and now I write when I can. I used to write for big names and big platforms and now I write for myself, just on here and just for fun. I used to write a LOT about singleness and dating, but now I’m married! So, that’s weird. I am a born-and-bred California girl who recently relocated to the East Coast. That is also weird.
Puns make me ridiculously happy (along with ice cream, donuts, and used book stores) and I am far too obsessed with my cat. I’ve been known to get overly excited over tupperware. I ask a lot of questions, always. But who said there’s anything wrong with questions?

Hey,
You article about relationships is interesting. I don’t agree 100% but I think is word reading and spreading.
Pd: your Picture with the black girl reminds me to the famous people trying to look supportive with African young people but actually do nothing. I have contradictory feelings about it. Just an opinion.
Cheers
THanks for this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/we-are-the-generation-who-doesnt-want-reltionships_us_572131a5e4b03b93e7e435d8
The other day I told my parents that I actually don’t want to be in a relationship. I can’t emotionally afford it. 🙂

Fantastically insightful piece http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/we-are-the-generation-who-doesnt-want-reltionships_us_572131a5e4b03b93e7e435d8 thank you. Keep reflecting and expressing stuff…
Thanks Krysti for your inspiring words in your article about singleness (“8 things you should never say to your single friends”). You captured the struggles perfectly. Thank you for being our voice!

Hey Krysti…
I just wanted to leave you a short message (hopefully one you will find encouraging), to let you know how I’ve really enjoyed your RELEVANT articles on singleness over the last while. Your ability to communicate the balance between the power of relationship yet the beauty of singleness has been super refreshing. I think in Church circles we can lose the focus a bit.
I guess a lot of this comes from the joy of an intimate relationship with Jesus. Jumping on your site here I understood a bit of why you were able to portray joy in your articles – because its clear you consciously decide to live joyously.
I’m sure you get many words of encouragement Krysti, but thank you and keep writing – there’s at least one Scottish dude who loves what you your putting down.

I second that! Another reader happy to hear a balanced, sound opinion on singleness as a blessing and not a curse. Blessings from Singapore.
