My name is Carrie (not Kelly). Welcome to my personal website!

I grew up in the 1970s & ’80s and lived on my own throughout the ’90s. And in that time I experienced a rich & happy life before the Internet became mainstream.

Those formative years were mostly played out in the suburbs (with a short stint in the city) where I was continually surrounded by people and had plenty to keep me occupied.

I personally enjoyed living that life.

But then something happened in the early part of Y2K. I ventured into cyberspace for the first time. And my life changed drastically.

And it continued to change drastically with each passing decade.

Many wonderful things happened as well as some not-so-wonderful things.

And at this point in the mid-2020s, I’m dialing things back to the dinosaur age before Y2K — when all anyone had was an email address — and maybe a domain name to advertise an organization or business to a broader market.

And I’m seeking to live the bulk of my life offline. The problem is I don’t have very many meaningful-to-me-and-my-hope-for-the-future relationships these days. Most people I know are heading down a path I’m trying to get off.

But I believe there are people out there (accessible through the worldwide web) who are headed in the same direction that I’m going. That is, back to a more natural human existence. And I want to meet them.

And not just meet them but connect with them — and perhaps even stay connected in a more natural, human fashion.

Intentionally Staying Behind the Times & Holding Fast to My Humanity

So, I’m utilizing this domain, CarrieNotKelly.com, (as well as a few others that I’ve carved out over the years) to hopefully connect with those who want to experience a more natural human existence, too.

Here I write about how I’m going Old School, sharing some of what I’m doing to live a more natural human existence.

And on occasion I share about my personal journey through life and cover matters I’m investigating (or have investigated in the past).

I’ve identified a bit of media I’m consuming (or have consumed in the past) as well as some of the content that I’ve personally created elsewhere to also present a broader view of me.

To be clear, I’m not looking for people who agree with me on everything or who necessarily have the same interests as me.

I’m looking for decent human beings, who value truth, life & liberty, and their fellow man and care about living a more natural human existence.

If that’s you, then Welcome! I’m glad you’re here. And I would love to know who you are and get a chance to interact with you. So, please, introduce yourself to me. Tell me a bit about who you are and where you’re from.

I’d love to hear from you. 🙂

Sincerely,
Carrie (not Kelly)
