This is exciting and nerve-wracking. I last had a wordpress blog in around 2012 to around 2015 where I in real time documented a mental breakdown. Yes really. I have been a writer since around eight years old… so this comes naturally to me and I write write write… to heal, to get the shit out of my system – to see myself clearly.
This new place, this blog, this wordpress site… feels a little like coming home. Cheesy, I know… but let me tell you something – I’ve been to hell, back, returned to hell, and back… so I have a few stories to tell.
I have also done a few jobs too, since fifteen I have decades in social care, two and then some decades in professional therapy (I took a break when I was unwell) and a couple of decades in the sex industry.
Oh the stories.
For decades I have edited my reality. It is so hard to mention, talk about, dive deep about, all the places I have been, jobs I have done, experiences I have devoured – without sounding like a jack of all trades.
Recently, though, something switched up. It was as if my jobs, breakdowns (yes there were more), relationships, losses, pain, betrayal, success, delayed success, loss of success… you get the idea yes?
It was as if they all… and I do mean all… came knocking at my door to say:
‘Matt…. I am valid… I matter… I have a voice too… and I want you to speak about me’.
So… this is where we find ourselves.
Here, on my shiny new wordpress blog (which will be where you get to dive straight into – everything) and the showcase of stuff I have done and do, plus the central hub where you can navigate to other branches of what I do.
It feels very brave to do this. Not all of my jobs and endeavors seem to fit together.
But they do.
Why?
Because I have done them, and I fit. Right here right now.
Welcome welcome welcome… expect random, expect deep, expect to laugh, expect….
The unexpected.
In Love, Matt xx
