About the Book

Collected here are numerous works created spontaneously for intrigued readers by the young and restless Krista Jensen. This compilation includes some useful and non-useful insight, and is available for analysis by any reader upon deciding which it is: useful or non. This project was used as an outlet, in a sense, in that many held back thoughts were released in poem or short story form. While some lines may hold profound meaning, the very next might include nothing of the sort. This collection is nothing more than a look into the mind of a young girl in a pivotal point in her existence. This point is that when life is as open a canvas as it could be, and is ready to be stained and learned on. It is these pieces that define a hearty chunk of who this author is, an outlandish and yet humble student of life’s natural tutors. While it is apparent that this book will appeal to those of the same description, here’s hoping that it reaches out to any and all who pick it up, whoever he or she may be. As cliché as it may come off, this book was created to make readers feel good and possibly come across something that sparks a new way of positive thinking. While some pieces are obvious pick-me-ups, others may take many an hour or day of considering before a conclusion is arrived at.
