Hello, We're Live Again.

So, I let this site lapse for like over a year, maybe two. I didn’t really feel like I had much to say. I didn’t think I had much to contribute. I would still panic thinking about another Clare Callahan deciding to buy the domain while I passively scrolled on TikTok or some other corner of the internet. Yesterday the government announced that there are aliens living in oceans on Earth. Wild! It’s a loud world out there. A lot of us are yapping and using our fingers to fire off missives that land nowhere. Maybe. But. My heart and my creativity have been stirring and I’m going to bring myself back into the arena. Because I want to write what I’m seeing and how I’m feeling and what I’m loving and hating and reflect on what used to bring me joy that now feels like sorrow and decide if I’m okay with letting that… just… be.

I’m Clare. I’m 33. I can’t believe that’s true. The same age my Mom was when she had me. The year Jesus was killed. Enough time to end a life with significance and enough time for a whole new life to begin. I have lived in Atlanta pretty much my whole life. My family is here, my past is here, and it’s looking my future is here too. I’m okay with that as long as I have access to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. I work for the #1 Airline in the US where I update webpages far more advanced and with 1,000,000 times more page views than this one will get for the time being. I love that job and the people I work with.

What else? I bought a new little loft this Summer in the best neighborhood and I adore it. I also started dating a wonderful man and got a dog within about two months of closing on the house. It was quite a Summer. I’ll go into that more later, I guess.

What’s coming next? I’m going to Tokyo over Thanksgiving with a friend and expect it to be an incredible experience. I’m working on some house projects. Also patiently observing if there will be a recount in swing state election results. We’ll see! I’m excited to be back here. I think this was a good idea.
