Andy Kerstetter

I'm still unfolding as a person. Every couple years or so I think I have myself figured out...then I surprise myself again. I'm slowly but surely expanding my horizons, and the sun of truth is beginning to peek over the rim of my dark little world and shed some light into it. Preconceived notions of life and living in it, in me not of my choice but more of sensory adaptation from my adolescence, are constantly fleeing my soul to be replace by the harsh, bitter, beautiful reality of it all. It's definitely an exciting journey.

I find pleasure in the little things that most people take for granted, like the complexity of a single snowflake, or the way water flows over stones, or the way a baby will latch onto your finger as if it's holding on for dear life. I like going through life slowly, taking time to observe and appreciate everything I pass. I feel sorry when I see people who are hell-bent on controlling their own futures and therefore leave the present behind. No one knows the future, it is obscured in uncertainty. Why chase after it? It will always elude them. Yesterday is gone. Today is all we've got left, and it's all we will ever have.

If you want to know more about me, feel free to ask.

About my story that's on this site...

I've finally posted all of part 1 of Winds of Change up here...still some tweaking to do, but for the most part I can finally concentrate on part 2, when things really start to heat up.

I've featured Chapter 2 because it seems everyone only reads chapter 1 and never moves on. That's not just with my story...that happens a lot. So maybe featuring chapter 2 will help people to continue the story. Believe me, it's worth it. (Well, I guess I can't really talk)
