me as a youngster--already with the ill stare
Taking a page out of an handful of personal blogs i (used to) read regularly, i have created this “starting” page for new readers. I found these types of pages refreshing and very useful in understanding better the author—personally, as well as their writing style and voice—due to the list being reflectively curated, an intimate, non-random selection that spoke truthfully.
And, as you’ll find out below, if you read this litany, i love and encourage—yearn for even—truth and transparency. Here goes it:
