Enticed
by prospects
of beauty, fortune, fame
Online
existence more
charming than real life
Initially
we partake
for grins and giggles
But
that kind
of high is fleeting
Eventually
envy sprouts
next to anger and anxiety
Addiction
grips us
more-ever craving more
Consumed
by pains
of online outrage
Seeking
new elixirs
to quench our thirst

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.
