It Gets Better
I’ve also posted my contribution to Dan Savage’s “It Gets Better” Project with some back story, so if you’re interested go to my personal blog here. I just wanted to post my video here as well for people in case you stumble upon here before my other website.
As I’ve stated in my video, I got teased a lot in high school. I didn’t think I was going to survive, but somehow I did. I had a small (but awesome) group of friends to lean on and as soon as I turned 18, I remember one of my best friends took me to Venus on a Saturday night. It was the first time I was able to be myself at a club without fear of being gawked at. It was the first time that I felt completely comfortable in my own skin. It was an ultimately healing experience.
It gets better, so please hang in there.

I know you can't see my face, but I figure most people will recognize me as the big cheeks behind the camera. My name is Kristel. This blog, much like my life, is a work in progress. I take pictures at events around town and I'm big on candid photos. Nice to meet you.
