Hi, I’m Cristy Cali—founder of Cristy Cali Jewelry. I design pieces with meaning, and I write to share the deeper layers of why they exist. If something here resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

For most of my life, I lived under the weight of something I couldn’t name. I spent over 20 years battling chronic depression. For much of that time, I didn’t want to be here—often hurting myself, sometimes in ways I didn’t yet understand. And I didn’t know how to ask for help.
At 25, everything began to change. I started facing the parts of myself I’d spent years avoiding. Slowly, through solitude, writing, and creating, I began to feel something I hadn’t in a long time: love. Not from others, but from within.
You Are Beloved is a space where I write about what it means to live a meaningful life after surviving yourself. I share personal essays about healing, grief, creative purpose, emotional honesty, and choosing to stay—even when it’s hard.
I don’t write because I believe I hold answers.
I write in hopes that my story might echo something in yours—and remind you that you’re not alone.
The reason this publication is called You Are Beloved is simple: it’s true.
Had I known, during my darkest years, that someone out there loved me just for existing—for simply being—I may have found my way back to myself sooner.
So I write because I love you.
Not in the way the world tries to define love, but in the quiet, unconditional way that only a soul can offer. I don’t need a massive Instagram following or viral videos to reach you. The simple fact that you found this space means we were meant to find each other.
You are more than a reader—you are part of the reason these words exist.
You’re not a follower or subscriber. You’re a connection.
You are someone I already care about.
You are a presence.
And it is my soul that writes to you.
