Restricted - The Other KLM

I tinkered with fad diets
Of kefir, quinoa and k ale
Nibbling on nutrients foraged from a fertile earth
Yet these fresh foods were pretentiously plain
And robbed me of the fatty flavors
That boosted my bland life

I hope to forge healthier habits
To build a satisfied life
Without giving up c heeseburgers and fries
Perhaps
I might discover joy
In daily power naps…

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to... I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess. Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter. So, that’s me. More or less.
