i’m callie
Who am I? Well that’s a loaded question.
I’ve been trying to figure out who I am for quite awhile now and here I am: a bad writer, creative on the outside and imposter on the inside - woman - who decided to start a blog to dump the chaos that lives inside my brain.
I’ve always been fearless when it comes to trying new things creatively and far from an adrenaline junkie. As much as I wish I was cool enough to jump off a plane, I spend most of my time crafting and working, but like in a cool adventurous way.
I’m a photographer and videographer and grasping for air graphic designer. Screens are my jam, packaged with a hunch back and blood shot eyes. Am I great? Honestly I don’t think so(my brain dump I can say what I want), though I get the job done pretty well. Yes, I feel sick to my stomach saying that, but it’s truly how I feel. At the end of the day, I know still that I think in a very creative way.
The only way I get away from screens is… yes, books… but really it’s renovating my home or building furniture. I bought a house(duplex unit from the 70s) about 18 months ago, allllll by myself women can do anything. I plan to write a lot about the renovation process, how to do things, my mistakes, my wins, and how I feel. Renovating a home, let alone owning a home, is not for the faint of heart. I thought I would be almost done by this point, but I’ve barely started. LOL it’s fun too though.
I have a lot of skills and hobbies that you’ll see here, but to set some expectations, I’m not starting this site for you. It’s for me. Social media apps lack a level of vulnerability and closeness these days that I want to go back in time to. To when the internet wasn’t so fucking scary. Like julie in Julie & Julia shamelessly writing about cooking and life… I want to have my corner of the internet that feels hard to get to, but very close to me at my core. If you stumble across this corner, welcome! I hope you find a space to do the same for yourself.
Now, let’s see how long I keep up with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
xoxo, Callie
