Who am I? What am I doing here? Where am I going?

Who am I, What am I doing here and where am I going? Wow, what such loaded questions, but can you answer all three, two out of three or at least one out of three. Of course, I am not talking about in the literal sense, whereas I answer I am Kristyna, I am writing, and eventually I will get up and go to the kitchen and cook. Throughout life we search for these answers. Though some find the answers to these questions many wander throughout life not knowing who they are, what they are doing here, or where they are going. These three questions are the basis to life, to our life. It is the basis to how we present ourselves to the world. The search for the answers to these questions begins at birth and continues throughout life, rather one find these answers depends on that individual person and their determination to better themselves through past successes and failures and real life experiences.

Genetically we are a mix of our parents. We are composed of our parents DNA which describes our physical make-up, but when you look in the mirror you see more than just your parents, you see a unique individual with his/her own mind, demeanor, and dreams. You are you. Who am I, is not just physical. Who am I refers to what do I describe myself to be. Through life our perception of ourselves change, but the understanding of who you really are can only be obtained through carefully considering your strengths and weakness and going through circumstantial situations giving you experience which is pertinent in decision making. Who am I is not just my physical outlook, but all that encompasses me. 


Our lives are all valuable, and we all have a purpose, however the question what am I doing here longs through people minds every day. Many of us learn our purpose as a child, however many spend their whole life trying to find their purpose in life, aimlessly wandering around making conscious mistakes regardless of consequences in life. More often than not parents encourage dreams on the way to one finding their purpose in life. Pushed by extracurricular activities through the motivation to want more and give more to those around you. Gifted and talented in our own rights. To live for, to die for, What is your purpose? What will be your legacy?


Where are you going? Well, that depends on that are you doing today? Your present effects your future, what you are doing now will effect decisions that are made tomorrow? Are you moving forward, backward or at a standstill. If progression is not present, one should reevaluate one's life and choices and make a change in order to redirect the path one's headed. 


As we continue to grow and change each day as circumstantial situations and life experiences occur, formal explanation of Who am I, What am I doing here, and Where am I going changes, however we must utilize each experience as chances to learn in order to formulate a sound identity which will influence our thoughts on who I am, What I am doing here and Where I am going.

Poem A Day: From Chapel to Hearse

Poem A Day: From Chapel to Hearse; This poem was written circa 2004-2005. I remember reading it to someone in high school and they responded with, "I was deep." Not the first and definitely not the last time I was told that. I enjoy reading my poetry that I wrote years ago. It helps me remind me of emotions I felt during that time. It also reminds me of how far I have came as a writer/poet.  From Chapel to Hearse   I admire your features, Think of me at your own leisure, I'm measuring you, Asking how long is a meter, Hop in my two-seater, Take a ride with me, Don't take this relationship lightly, I think of you highly, I want to be with you nightly, I got a fetish for your body, Looking at you arouses me, I'm anticipating you being my spouse to be, Come lay with me, stay with me, Hold me, take hold of me, Make the most of me, Everything about you is intriguing, Without you, there is no meaning, Your heart is in good keeping, ...

Do You Remember?

 Do you remember your first period? I remember when I had my first period. I was twelve, actually closer to thirteen. It was in September, my birthday is in October. I wasn't feeling well at my grandmother's funeral, and when we got home, I notified my mother that something was different. I knew what to do because she we discussed the inevitable frequently.  I got sick, I mean real sick. I was sick to the point that everything on my body ached especially my lower abdomen and back. I had diarrhea where I ran to the bathroom frequently, headaches, hot and cold flashes, and most of all I vomited to the point where it was just bile coming up. Not to mention a week/two weeks before I started my period, I would experience PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). My mood swings were/are sometimes dangerous.  I remember dreading my period coming up because of how it made me feel; still to this day I usually have the same feeling. My period warranted me the option of staying home from school ...

Poem of the Day: Will Tomorrow Ever Come

Poem A Day: Will Tomorrow Ever Come By: Kristyna Cochran written circa early 2000's.  WILL TOMORROW EVER COME Today I woke up with cold in my eyes, Washed it out, and had pink eye, I thought will tomorrow ever come, Went to the doctor, he gave me eye drops, He said I still had to go to school, My heart stopped, I thought will tomorrow ever come, They started talking about me, I punched everyone that said something bad about me, I thought will tomorrow ever come, I got suspended from school for three days, I got home and thought I could play, Mama picked me up and acted all nice; gave me a kiss, She got all the plates and bowls out the cabinet, And I had to wash every dish, I thought will tomorrow ever come, While I was sneaking out to play basketball, I broke my ankle, I came back in, and momma gave me a whooping I couldn’t handle, I thought will tomorrow ever come, I went to sleep with bruises on my back, I thought will tomorrow ever com...
