Hi.
Hello.
How are you?
My name is Caitlin but you can call me Kit! I got the nickname Kit Kat as a kid and when I was coming up with a name for this thing, I thought of that. I knew for obvious legal reasons that I couldn’t use the full nickname, so the first thing I tried was Cat By Design but after a quick google search, that idea was flattened. Then I started thinking about other possibilities, and landed here. I did a cursory search just to check, and upon finding no other sites, I knew I’d found the name!
I feel like I should note that my original idea was a play on my middle name but that was very much already used. Keeping on track, now that I had my name, I set this up! If you’re reading this: Look around! I think I did a pretty good job! I hope that you stick around and keep reading!
I made this little area as a place for me to share my life experiences and makeup experiences alike, hence the “by design” part. I live my life the way that I want to and then share it with you. I’ll try to update as often as I can but I’m not promising anything tremendous. I do have a life after all. My aim with this, aside from the already mentioned life story aspect, is to have an outlet to voice my opinions and not be squashed. I have a mind and a keyboard so dammit I’m going to use them.
On to the fun stuff now! I introduced myself briefly above so I’m going to elaborate a little bit. My real first name is Caitlin and for the purpose of keeping my personal info hidden I won’t give you more than that. By the same token, that’s why I’ve chosen to go by Kit. I have been an avid writer and creator for almost 6 years now but I don’t have a whole lot to show for it.
I’ve painted, worked with clay, done makeup, drawn, and written but all I really have is a few pieces that I didn’t hate enough to trash immediately after finishing them. I want to use this as a way to keep myself accountable for what I’m working on and to have a log of sorts to look back on when i need to feel like I’ve accomplished something. I usually get in that I-suck-as-a-human mindset when I’m in a depressive state and I try to pull myself out by working and sometimes overworking myself to keep my mind busy.
I love being an artist because it gives me a way to keep my mind and hands busy on my own terms. I don’t have to follow someone else’s instructions on how to do something. That said, I have to look things up that I don’t know how to do on occasion but that’s different than being told how to do something that I don’t really want to do. Moving forward from that, I love creating in general because it’s my time to do what ever the hell I want. I can sit down and write, like this, or paint, plan looks and costumes, or anything really.
Something I need to go over before i end this post is what I’m actually going to be posting about! For starters it will be about my life and the dumb things I get myself into. I’ll also be posting about looks I’m doing, paintings I’m working on, any projects I’m in the middle of, maybe some random nonsensical stuff. With me you’ll never know what you’re gonna log in and see.
Live your life by your own design! See you guys in the next one!
Kit By Design
