My name is Kristy and I would like to share a part of my
creative journey, my passions, and interests with everyone. I suppose I can describe myself as the type
of person with many layers, with each layer revealing a part of me. However, complex I may seem, I do appreciate
the beauty of simplicity.
I have this great love for fashion because through fashion
I’m able to express my individuality with various styles. I have a huge weakness for creativity in many
forms, such as: art, craft, poetry, photography, with the list going on.
Ever since I was a child, I have been drawn to being able to
do the possibilities of creating things using my creativity. At the age of 5, I taught myself to hand
stitch and sew my dolls’ clothes. It was
then that I knew creativity makes me happy.
I’m at my happiest when I’m able to work with my hands and being able to
use my creativity to expand my possibilities limitlessly.
During my young adult years, I decided that I really wanted
my career path to be in fashion and since I also had an interest in business, I
decided to pursue being a fashion buyer.
I earned a degree in fashion merchandising and was lucky enough to land
a job at a well-known, nationwide second-hand store. I am grateful for the opportunities of the 4 years that I worked
there. I was able to gain a great amount of knowledge of how the front and back end of the store
operation, while being able to express my creativity freely.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end
(fortunately only temporarily in this case), and I hit a major roadblock in
life which devastated my strong-willed nature, my self-confidence, and allowed
self-doubt to take over me. During this
time in my life, I decided to shut off all my creativity and my tendency as an
abstract thinker. I went back to school
in the medical field and graduated with honors, and got a job at a compounding
pharmacy. I was content at this point in
my life because I shouldn’t have anything to complain about. My job is 9-to-5 with weekends and holidays
off, pleasant coworkers, and a very understanding boss.
However, there were still parts of me that felt empty. I tried to ignore it at first but slowly it
started to bother me, and I became restless again. I felt incomplete in life. Not to long after, I understood that you must
make what you believe. I allowed myself
to fall from grace by allowing self-doubt to invade, and lost my will. I finally realized that creativity will
always be a part of my life no matter what.
This is who I am. I may be
imperfect but by learning about myself I’m able to grow stronger from it. I have no regrets even if I went through it
all again. What doesn’t kill you makes
you stronger!
Thus, Mod Behaviour was born. I created Mod Behaviour to share with
everyone my creativity and ideas. I hope
you’ll be inspired too by my abstract ideas.
