The goal of this site is to create a scrapbook of my life and tie together all the odds and ends of my thoughts, experiences, and passions.

I’ve spent too many hours and days consuming instead of creating out of fear of judgement or failure, so the parts of myself that I truly appreciate have been atrophying, or never began to grow at all.

My hope is that this blog becomes part diary, part letters, part books, part playlists, part stories, part travel journal, part videos/podcast, part essays, and more. It’s too much to fit into one box, it’s just me in a place I can keep it all connected.

The name is Best, Karissa because I hope to bring out the best in myself to remember and get to collect it all the days of my life. When we create something, I think, we are closest to God.
