Author: Matt Larson

With my first book, 4000s by 40, released this fall, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing, and am excited to continue the journey of storytelling with future projects—so much so that the day after I published 4000s by 40, I began my next work. Much of my inspiration comes from nature. My early love for the ocean, found on the South Shore of Massachusetts, has transitioned into a deep passion for the mountains here in New Hampshire, and I wanted to share that with my first book. If you’d like to connect or have any inquiries, you can reach out to me at [email protected]. I’m also on Instagram and Facebook at wanderingmatt8. Happy reading!

Posted on October 19, 2021April 2, 2025

I never thought myself guilty of vanity until I had my health taken away from me. Before all this drama with nerve damage, what people thought of me was not a major concern because I didn’t worry about other people’s standards, just my own. As long as I was living up to my standards, I…

Positivity Can Get Old For Everyone Else

Posted on June 24, 2021March 31, 2025

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick. Tock. Tick… Tock. The hours and days and years have dragged on. For 1356 days I’ve been living with electrifying pain in my esophagus and spine, making it impossible to eat without pain. Impossible to sleep laying down. Impossible to exercise — even walk — without spasms running up my back. And…
