    There is so much beauty in knowing that even when it feels like the end... like keeps going. My best advice to you (& myself): DON'T STOP!! Just because a chapter closes, even if you really loved that chapter, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't embrace the new chapter that is about to open. be grateful for all the past pages that have filled your story and carry the lessons you have learned with you into each new chapter you begin to write.  The end doesn't mean "goodbye"... it means "i'm ready"  Follow me on Instagram @keepitcolorfulpodcast for more and remember to keep finding reasons to smile!! xoxo -Kenzie

    I know this isn't what I typically post however I think today I just needed to be as raw, real and honest as possible. Not everyday is gonna be sunny. Sometimes you are gonna have to go through an entire hurricane of emotions before you will see the sunlight once more. It's so important to recognize that we are all facing our own demons and fighting through them in different ways. Posting this is not easy for me… but the idea that one person who hears this will get even the slightest feeling of comfort knowing they aren't alone. That makes it worth trying. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/keepitcolorful/message

    Based a card game I recently played, it implies that the knowledge of which we get to learn about people can be broken down into 3 stages. Stage one being the "surface" stage or the fluff about a person as I call it. Stage two is the stuff that is kind of deep and helps you learn more about who that person truly is and than the final stage which is the part of yourself your not always comfortable showing the world. In this episode we talk about this and how different people in our lives fall into these categories.
