Spotlight on Kristina Rienzi

True to my bio, I believe in all things paranormal, including aliens. I also question everything and preach about embracing the unknown. A lover of learning, I’m motivated by understanding all sides of topics I’m interested in, like the existence of extraterrestrials. Writing my government conspiracy thriller (with a dash of science fiction), Among Us taught me that not only do I not know the truth, maybe I never will. Better, maybe I’m not supposed to know the truth because not knowing makes the exploration of the truth even more exciting.

Let’s explore.

Question Everything

When I say question everything, I don’t mean you have to go out and research every little thing just to live your life. Paranoia is not the goal. Rather, to be open to the idea that anything is possible. It’s what keeps us curious and excited about life.

Especially, if you’re not satisfied with an explanation you receive, be it on an extraterrestrial or personal level, don’t hesitate to question everything. So many times, we settle for what we’re told, especially when it comes to so-called experts in the media and online, because at first blush, it seems to make sense. However, if something isn’t sitting well with you, trust your gut above all. Most things in life are gray areas that need to be explored further, if only to open our minds.

In my novel, Among Us, the main character, Marci Simon, does just that---she questions everything with a secret government agency, and her curiosity takes her down a rabbit hole of deadly secrets she never could have imagined were true. It also happened to be the ride of her life, and worth all the risk.

Unleash your inner Marci. Go explore. Be curious. Question everything. You might be pleasantly surprised at what you learn, and the fun you had along the way.

Embrace the Unknown

Still, do we really want to know the truth?

This question came up for me repeatedly while writing Among Us. It’s exciting for me to think about the existence of aliens and some super-secret government agency hiding the truth while writing a story that’s in my control. Analyzing old government documents, researching accounts of disappearances, and underground bunkers where aliens may already be among us. 

Because it’s fiction, I have the liberty to twist what I learn, and interpret information however I choose. Anything goes. And it’s WAY less terrifying because it’s not real.

Or is it? Do I really want to know?

I don’t know if I’m ready for all that.

Maybe it’s better to think what we want to think. Dream of all the options and possibilities and play them out in our minds (and in my case, in my books). Be creative with our imaginations. Let the truth be the unknown that motivates us to explore like children do and embrace the unknown, like my mantra states. 

For you, whatever brings about the most peace and the most joy is your answer.

Enjoy the Ride

No matter how you approach life, or the existence of aliens as Marci did in Among Us, be sure to enjoy the ride.

Marci did in Among Us. No matter the danger, she went on the adventure, enjoying every triumph and obstacle along the way. Living her life to the fullest.

Cliché as it may seem, life is super short in the grand scheme of things. Every experience is something to be treasured. Every moment cherished. Every curiosity explored.

If you choose to approach each day with curiosity and an open mind, unexpected adventures, learning, and growth may come your way. So why not get out of your comfort zone and go for it?

Question everything. Embrace the Unknown. Enjoy the ride of life.

I’m grateful to all the readers on this journey of exploration with me. If you haven’t read my books, I hope my words intrigued you to check them out.

Be safe. Be healthy. Be well.
