A few *EVENTFUL* days in my life living in New York City (with an honest life update)

A gigantic thank you to everyone who came out to the Offline! Community Mixer 💓 I'll never forget it and how warm and inviting and kind everyone was irl. Adored learning more about you and what brings you to the city and I just love how the internet brought us all together. This video is a few days in my life getting out into the city, and then bringing it back home towards the end for a full on catch up. Living in New York City felt so real this week... I pinched myself multiple times to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Love you endlessly 💓

I had to pinch myself many times this week to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Couldn't have imagined a better group of people to spend the evening with at Offline! 💓 I love how the internet somehow brought us all together. Endlessly grateful that you took a chance to come out and meet Alexis and I, along with everyone else there. Separately, I got a bunch of comments last video about the mom cat to my two kittens and what will happen with her - as far as I know the family is trying to get her spayed and then released. She is pretty feral and loves from a distance from my experience! I hear your concerns and will let you know what happens with her, whenever the family shares that with me. Thanks for watching y'all, hoping you have a great weekend!!

Chelsea I live in Melbourne Australia and I honestly say I would fly to Manhattan to attend one of "your" events!! ❤❤❤ so proud of how far you have come since moving into this new full-time KZbin chapter of your life 🎉

Congratulations on your event! I wouldve gone if I still lived in NYC I PROMISE. The kitties look like theyre 100% comfy w eachother now. Yayyyyyy!!!!! 😻😻🥰Mebbe mama cat can go to a Sanctuary. I know an AMAZING one Upstate…

[@SusannahPerri]

Oh Chelsea, it just breaks my heart to think that people have been hateful to you!! It's always the cowards hiding behind faceless internet accounts who lash out angrily to people like you who create an interesting and fun life and make themselves vulnerable. The other 99.99% love you! I'm probably the oldest of your subscribers and I think your channel was suggested to me last year because I love New York City and visit (from northern California) as often as I can and binge-watch NYC content. But you and your channel struck a chord with me and I look forward to your videos. I cried when you crossed the finish line at the Marathon last year. I wish I'd been in a position when I was your age to live there, but I was raising my two kids. So I live my own free-spirit life now and run off to play there whenever I can! The kitties are adorable (of course), and I think they will continue to bond. The boys often instigate the play fighting, but then they end up snuggling, as you have seen. Thank you for rescuing them! 😃❤

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Ahhh thank you Susannah ❤ I definitely have a thicker skin now so it's all good! I def feel the love! Thanks for watching for so long ❤

[@lizzabbott]

Wow ! You sound like me ! I visit NYC when i can. Always loved it. Yepp ! Was raising MY 2 kids back in the day, too ! My son lives there now ! In fact , has been kinda bi coastal in recent years. But anyhoo … Hi , Susannah

Just love hanging out with you Chelsea. Love to Gordo and Delilah. 🐈 🐈

[@btown8210]

I’m from England I love NY content too. Only visited once but stayed in East village and totally felt like Id lived in the city forever. I’m obsessed with the tiny apartment decor vids too. I love how they create their spaces, being arty I totally relate!

[@emilychambers]

Such a lovely comment, couldn’t agree more with this 👏

[@NoNameNumberTwo]

I liked how the focus of the event was people connecting with each other instead of everyone trying to have a conversation with you. People that like your videos are probably going to have a lot in common. 🙂

This is so cool. I feel like I’m watching someone in their prime of life. Like the growth you had in the past 2 years is crazy. Not even talking channel wise but just as a person. It’s been a great privilege to watch your videos.

[@athabascaheritagesociety9605]

Chelsea, you're our relatable queen! I wish I could have been there, your event is exactly the sort of thing I love - cosy vibes, friendly people, and such comforting honesty ❤ I hope these memories stick with you forever!

[@AnnieBellet]

It might seem counter to sense, but 2 cats is actually easier than one cat in many ways. Love them!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I agree!

[@valerieroarty]

I totally relate to not connecting immediately with the second cat! My third cat - who I fostered originally - I kept because he connected so well with my second cat. I honestly did not want a third and he was already a skittish/ scaredy lil guy who liked the other cats wayyyy more than me. It took him months to cuddle with me, or let me pet him even though I got him at 6 weeks!! I did everything “right” - fed him only when I was around, played with him, etc and he still kept me at an arms length for the longest time. It took months for us to fully bond but now I can’t imagine life without him. Now he is my Velcro baby and follows me around the house wherever I go.

[@Amyfromthemoons]

Always love watching these big eventful vlogs Chelsea! Very proud of you for facing your fears at the event, it looked like a lot of fun 💕 It made me so happy to hear that you feel like your mental health is doing well, that you're proud of yourself and in a better place. Feels like seeing a friend thrive ❤❤❤❤ lots of love!

You’re the best ♥️

[@jsmith5509]

It's good to see you getting out and expanding your horizons! Please don't separate the kittens! They're doing EVERYTHING they are SUPPOSED to do!!! They are learning how to share and set boundaries with each other! The wrestling, occasional hissing is perfectly normal! My four are now 9years old and they still have kitten moments!

[@tls4022]

YAYYYY so happy to see Tisha in your vlog 🥰 you both are stunning!

[@haleighen]

I’m so early! I will say benefit of having cats is when they start hunting bugs for you. My tuxie even catches fruit flies! Also, my boys now basically trade off. When I log into work for the day then they start their morning play session. Then afternoon earlier evening one cat hangs out and cuddles. The other wants a lot of attention but in small spurts. It’s so good. ❤ You’re there!

[@ChelseaCallahan]

haha I love that!

[@joannebaker4925]

It was so awesome to see three of my favorite NYC utubers, Alexis, Tisha, and Chelsea together ❤️.

[@bree8150]

Also, I have that same tendency to start talking to people and then just splintering into random tangents with no point in sight. lol. One thing I do now to help stay focused, is to think about what point it is I want to make or what’s the goal of what I’m about to say, before I start speaking. It does require taking a quick beat before opening my mouth but it really helps me center. I’m more intentional with my words when I do it, I just have to remember to be mindful in the first place. lol. Anyway, just thought I’d share in case it could be helpful for you or anyone else too!

[@donnapecoraro3126]

That event looked like so much fun! Bask in the glory of it for a while! The kitties are so sweet, and they're together while you go out.

[@Retreauxgirl]

Chelsea, I am terrified of public speaking and I too have to push myself out of my comfort zone so I totally understand your nervousness and then afterwards the joyous release of it all. I loved this video....I could really see your joy and happiness with life in general. I've followed you for a long time and never miss a video. Happy, nervous or sad.....I'm right here along with you. 😊

Eeeee another video! Mainly excited for the cat content but loved the catch up at the end. ❤ If it makes you feel any better, when I met you at the event I was anxious that I was just standing there awkwardly. I was shaking and got all sweaty bc anxiety haha. 🥴 Was so nice to meet you and others! Shoutout to Natalia, Emily, Rowan, and Geraldine. ✨ I forgot the other folks’ names at my table but hi! Thanks for another awesome video. 😊🎉

[@megmulholland4518]

One of the things that struck me the most was hearing that the vast majority of your audience came on their own! Had I been able to come, I would have been solo as well. It would have been one of the single most bravest things I’ve ever done in my life! I love people so much, yet I’m paralyzed with social anxiety. Get this: I have never dined out alone, or gone to a movie alone. Ever. And uhm, (pauses)- I’m not young! *coughs*😅 It just truly inspired me hearing about that. And just as you said, all those tables looked like bunches of long-time, old friends, comfortable and relaxed, enjoying each others company! 🥰 If you ever do this again, ohhh how I hope I can get my druthers up to come out and meet your peeps. And you! Maybe I’ll wear a T-shirt that says “alone and scared” 😜😎 This was a great, chatty, catch-up video Chelsea! Loved seeing the cats play and all the nyc scenes, the whole thing! Brava! 👏

Hi CC! This was a good vlog, but I have to say I literally laughed out loud when you said you didn’t think you’d be able to let Delilah go or separate her from Gordo! I always knew once you got her she was yours forever, it’s just meant to be….you three! Plus you’re an excellent cat-mama. ❤

[@ChelseaCallahan]

I sorta knew that as well 🥹 can't separate them TWICE lol

[@mountainash84]

Hey, I'm Rowan, I'm in the green tank top with glasses and short hair at 1:01-it was so nice chatting with you, Chelsea :) The vibes of the event were so good! I was also floored that almost everyone else had also come alone-that and talking to other people who also watch you and Alexis made me feel more connected to everyone there. I don't know anyone else in real life who follows vloggers on KZbin so it felt so nice and normalizing to meet all these cool people who also watch your channel :)

[@ChelseaCallahan]

Oh hey!! So nice meeting you, Rowan! Thanks again for coming out!! Good vibes indeed 😊✨

[@richg4011]

Love the more frequent content lately! Went through a separation this week and seeing you with your new animoz is great (she took them because it was better for them all. cats and dogs. not a horror breakup at all. just career chases, which sucks a lot too), and now late life overlooking a midtown from my window 20 stories up that is just 20 somethings meandering, who I could care less to talk to (painting untrue narratives in my head to justify my behavior. lol) , but knowing I cant be a shut in is difficult. Keep your head up, be safe, keep that love in your heart, and looking forward to fall content. Why? Cause the fall is AMAZING, and everyone knows it. LOL

Your hair, makeup and dress for pride combo…🔥🔥🔥

[@suefitz2498]

You’re working so hard and positively towards your goals. I predict you will move smoothly into community engagement roles in a broader context. Facing the public speaking fears was fabulous and often introverts make the best public speakers and facilitators, it’s just after the event they need to recover energies alone or with a small group. The two cats are yours now…foster failure was always imminent ❤❤❤

[@Wally535]

Oh boy! Someone else who has trouble framing coherent thoughts under pressure! I love to talk but there are times the words aren’t there. As for your social anxiety…what are you talking about. You were working that room like a pro! Good for you, leaving that comfort zone is not easy and takes courage. Both the four legged hellions will begin following you everywhere before long. My 18 year old and 9 year old fur balls constantly check up on me. Nothing is sacred when you have cats. Sometimes when I’m dressing to go out and they’re both on the bed watching, it seems like they’re critiquing my every choice. One cat mom to another, if you haven’t started teaching Gordo the joys of being combed and brushed, I highly recommend it. I’ve had two Maine Coon mixes, and failed in that area. The result was matting, and the last one I had would get so bad that he would have to be shaved. Both those cats and my Calico, had super personalities. Enjoy your two fluffy babies.

[@AlisonPankhurst-js6gw]

Hi chelsea, great vlog and from one Virgo to another I totally understand that social anxiety feeling. Sometimes you really want to jump out of your comfort zone and push yourself to do and experience new things but there's always that little voice that says, oh maybe tomorrow, next week, whatever but yet when you do it you're glad you did. I'm fine in my own company though, I find it's nice to have your own time to just be you.🤗
