welcome to my site! she's still young and under construction (including, goodness, this page), but she frequently brings a smile to my face, and i hope she can bring one to yours :)
i'm matisse.
by way of introduction:
what my college dorm door sign said about me, my senior year
i try to be deliberate, but sometimes i fail at that
sometimes i use words like “topography” and “dear” and “gelatinous” and “sin”
hmu if there’s a question you have that you just want to say out loud a couple times and maybe think about
what the twelve-year-old i tutor makes fun of me for
saying "indeed" and "oh!" too much
having a genuine soft spot for factorization
sometimes people seem abstract until i see them
but, as i remind myself periodically, i am concrete, i am real.
i care about some things
and love others.
i'm starting to make my way in the world.
this is my site :)
it's — honestly such a relief, now, to have a personal site. big big thanks to hyperlink academy's internet homesteading course for helping me get up and running (!). my sense of what this website is is still evolving, but i suppose it is, fundamentally, a home. a place i invite others to; and a place i sink back into, exhaling.
