Where Can You Find Me Now? An Updated List of Links

Hey guys,

A lot has changed over the course of the year. Some decisions were mulled over for months until I abruptly decided to “just go for it.”

I axed Twitter first (I forgot which month, but I think it was around June). I deleted LinkedIn around July.

Then I deleted Substack in September and deactivated my Instagram account on the same day.

There was a suspicious login attempt on my deactivated Instagram yesterday, so I decided that for my protection, I’d permanently delete that as well - I know it’s a necessity for building a following and promoting my books in the future (even more useful than Twitter, as I can tell from bestseller fantasy novelist Rebecca Ross), BUT I want to start from scratch when I feel ready with the right motivations and not have to face people who were just lukewarm fans and didn’t really believe in me.

The accounts I mentioned above are permanently gone.

So where can you find me now?

1) Medium: medium.com/@christinecalandris (I do not plan on posting, but it doesn’t make sense for me to delete it because I have over 1,000 pieces there) and I also do not have the temptation to lurk or doomscroll on there (unlike on Substack or Twitter), so I am fine with keeping it.

2) YouTube: youtube.com/@christinecalandris

3) This website, obviously

I also have music on Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon, and Apple Music (those are legitimate, though I still need to change my artist name). However, those do not serve the same function as Medium, YouTube, and this blog. Plus there’s also my personal Spotify listener account, if you’re interested in following me there.

It feels wonderful to simplify digitally and get away from the social pressure that was suffocating me.

I feel like I’m starting to learn how to breathe again!
