My Honest Poem
Christine Sainterlien

This poem doesn’t hold as much truth as it did when I first wrote it. Right now, I am working on different things, under a different mindset. Nonetheless, this is my honest poem, kids. Hope you enjoy it.

I’m a Sagittarius.
which means
I love to travel.
But I’ve noticed that traveling has made me feel like I never had a real home to begin with....I've become really good at making any place,
Or person
Feel like a safe space I can lay my head for a while.
I’m really good at remembering faces,
I’m working on being bad at that. People find it weird when you stare and don’t share what’s on your mind.
I get anxious when people know my name before I know theirs...I tend to think my acknowledgment is something I have to earn overtime.
I’ve kept my mind hidden for most of my life. Maybe because I’m the youngest of four and whenever I tried to talk I was considered annoying and a bore.
So, I listened more.
I don’t really like to talk.
but I love to write.
I consider these two things completely different. One is a choice, the other is a means of survival.
My favorite things to do should not be my favorite things to do. It includes distance, self-harm, and smiling at people that don’t smile back.
I’m starting to believe family is a 24/7 job with unlimited benefits.
I have spent too much of my time searching for part-time people that make me feel like I'm paying for their presence.
I have major trust issues...blame Drake.
Music is my favorite way to talk. I think it speaks volumes my own voice can never reach. I would love to take a walk with Amy Winehouse and learn how she talks.

Hi,

my name is Christine.


I think addiction and homelessness are some of the most humane experiences a person can go through.
...and I think love drives us all crazy.
You see, love,
Love has always been a foreign concept in my life. It takes too long to acquire citizenship and I’m over it before it even starts.

- Christine Saint

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
