A PIECE BY MATISSE

Welcome! I am truly thrilled to have you here.

I started this blog in 2010, as a University project, only a couple of weeks after we lost my little brother to suicide. Naturally, over time, it has become much more to me.

A way for me to communicate to the sky. An online diary. A super unsubtle way to tell my ex-boyfriends what I wanted them to hear, but couldn’t fit into text messages, due to character count and likelihood of social banishment.

So it become a memory box for my most laughable days. A trove of ridiculous tidbits. And my questions. Oh so many questions! Questions about this world we inhabit. Made both of dirt and water, and what we create with our wild stories and catching ideas.

Nowadays, as I settle into my old(er) age, I try as hard as I might to pair some of those questions with a handful of possible answers. Together, they form this blog. My little anthology of essays about society, humanity, and all the wonders of us.

I hope you find some stories that speak to you.
