Storytelling has always been an integral part of what we do at STEADYβexecuted in our creative and embedded in our pieces. Often, these are stories tied to present and future aspirations. CAL: Tumblr! I grew up with the same people the entire time. After middle school I got rejected from the high school I was suppose to go to.
It was more like I got accepted but then some events happened that caused them to pull it back. Everything was so different from what I grew up with.
Everyone in that public school was eclectic. But from there I was introduced to so many different things. Like, streetwear for example. CAL: And that lead into Tumblr? A lot of bullshit here and there to be honest. CAL: A lot of angst? I started branching out through there, meeting a lot of friends through it. Whereas for us east coast kids, it was just for likes, reblogs and follows. There were no Tumblr-meets orβ¦. Some random bullshit smut sex story I came up with.
That just blew up. And I made thousands of followers overnight. CAL: Seriously?? It was crazy! CAL: And that post is still floating somewhere online? What did I know about sex? CAL: What made you want to write that? What also happened was one of the girls I dated from Tumblr was also a writer and we actually worked on something together. CAL: Sexting? Laughs Live on your dashboard! It was hilarious. I look back at it now, a little 16 year old talking about all sorts of raunchy shit.
And from that platform I started moving elsewhere. But because I already had a following from what I did, they went along with whatever else I did. Setting: it's somewhere around AM and the sun is rising, however, we remain sleepless β We're still drunk off the alcohol and still drunk off each other.
