hi friend <3 my name's kate, i use she/her pronouns, and my middle name is selene. selene means moon, or so i've been told by my astrophysicist parents that gave it to me (love them btw) anyway, i grew up in the west, in the middle of the mountains, and then i also grew up in the suburbs of chicago. for a really long time i felt like i didn't have somewhere i could call home, but now, i don't really think home has to be a place, and maybe if it is, it doesn't always need to be one place. but no matter where i was, i've always been a curious person. i have always loved the sciences, and have cultivated a deep admiration for our earth, ask anyone, i like trees more than people. and i also have a deep love for art, in every sense. i was a dancer for nine years, and then i immersed myself into music, realizing how special it can be for us as humans. how it can be a therapy. and i chose to run with that, and dove into becoming a songwriter and artist in every way. i did my very first open mic in nashville, tn back when i was twelve years old, and from there i fell in love with how music can connect people. i will never tire of seeing people find themselves in songs, as i have found myself too, and watching light spring from the faces of everyone listening. it's been a lot of mental breakdowns, a whole lot of trips to guitar center (more than i'd like to admit), and the gradual increase of my coffee addiction, but here i am- talking to you. and i know, i dont know you, but i think it's pretty amazing that we're both alive here on this planet at the same time. so, stay a while, or go plan your next big dream, but i believe that we're gonna get through whatever we battle. i've gotten through all my battles so far. love you lots you beautiful stranger
