Callwolf is from a couple of places. Firstly, I was inspired by a Martina Sorbara song by the same name. The lyrics describe a relationship and/or situation that I very much associated with. This journal started out as a secret place for me to vent my unhappiness, and my many confusions.

Then, much like the old folk tale of "Cry Wolf", I often felt that my whinings were silly and trite and that when something actually happened, no one would care. The name of the journal was a warning to my readers as well as to myself.

Finally, I associate with the wolf. This is a recent development... the explanation behind this and its association with the name is a little more complicated. I'll go into it more at another time :)

"justbreathe": from the Michelle Branch song "Breathe" which goes "everything is all right if I just breathe."
