Hi I’m Christine!

When I’m getting to know someone, I love to ask them what their personal meaning of life is. I’ve found that mine is described in two words: presence and benevolence.

I believe that who we are is shaped by the things we love–ideas, stories, people, places, and moments that leave a mark on us. In many ways, I feel like a living archive of those influences.

I am simply a museum of everything I’ve ever loved, in pursuit of said presence and benevolence.

Throughout my life I’ve squandered for ways to collect and share pieces of that museum–photos, vlogs, journaling, you name it!–and now I turn to this digital archive.

Sometimes it’s thoughts on media, culture, and storytelling. Sometimes it’s reflections on creativity, curiosity, and the small things that make life meaningful. Other times, it’s simply an attempt to have fun and understand the world a little more clearly.

If you’ve found your way here, welcome! I hope you enjoy poking around my brain.
