Hi! I’m MK.

With my family, I’ve run Armadillo Amore in Tucson, Arizona since 2016. It has grown into something much more personal than I ever expected.

This blog is an extension of that same spirit. A place where the armor comes off.

I have always felt a little like an armadillo. Shy, sensitive, prone to curling inward when the world gets loud. But armadillos are also resilient. They dig deep. They survive. And over time, I have learned that the shell is not something to be ashamed of. It’s just part of how I move through the world.

I am neurodivergent, which means my mind does not travel in straight lines. It tunnels. It spirals. It gets obsessively interested in things and then connects them in ways that surprise even me. This blog is an honest record of that process. A space for sovereign inquiry.

The topics change because I change. You might find me writing about artificial intelligence one week and astrology the next. About music, or trauma, or the overlap between the two. About whatever has burrowed its way into my attention and refused to leave.

What stays constant is the intention: to lead with curiosity. To be both the armored one and the tender one. To think out loud, without performing certainty I do not have.

If any of that resonates with you, I am glad you found your way here.
