wandering matt

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!

Conceding Defeat in the Vandal Wars of 2020-2021

Posted on May 7, 2021May 8, 2021

Before my wife went back to work full-time, I had a much simpler view of how the house operated. Every morning I’d skip out the door to go to the office, have a glorious day of dealing with grown-up problems, and when the evening came, I’d come home to throw out all of the trash…

Fight for the Smiles, Life Is Happening Now

Posted on May 5, 2021May 5, 2021

Things go wrong in our lives and sometimes we wish we could just get away for awhile. Erase the past and get a redo. Take a timeout. Retreat. I know for me, chronic nerve pain has been a noose around my neck that has made me wave the white flag of retreat more than once….
