Kani Frou

That is, more or less, my name. I'm not going to release my real name, obviously. If this blog turns out to be more what I think it's going to be, it's best if I'm not really known. So myself, and everyone I write about, will have different names. And they will be characters in my ramblings.

I am 29. I am divorced (well, separated legally anyway). I have two insane ex's, five roommates, one younger boyfriend, 99 problems and a bitch ain't one (amazingly).

I have no time for my art anymore. My store keeps me too busy for that. But I have a need to do something.

I am currently learning how to live again. I am learning how to be a decent human being again. I am learning how to interact with people after 10 years of marriage that was more damaging to myself than anything. I am learning how to be responsible for myself, but how to ask for help when I need it. I am learning how to appreciate the little things, how to handle the big things. How to stand up for myself again, how to not just take the shit that I shouldn't have to take, but how to be patient when I need to be.

I'm learning that I'm not actually crazy. That when I am crazy, I can recognize it and curb it a little before I make poor Kit crazy.

I'm learning that life isn't as bad as I thought it was. And that sometimes it's worse. But generally it's not so bad.

I am Kani Frou. I have come a long way in two short years. I have a long ways to go yet. But it's not so bad.
