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!

Give it Your 1%

Posted on April 21, 2021April 20, 2021

When you really hurt you don’t care much about the fun you’re missing out on. You don’t care about going out for a drink, or making plans, or really anything, because all of your attention is focused on getting through the next moment and trying to curb the pain. All-consuming pain makes everything else feel…

The Point Is Not Longevity

Posted on April 20, 2021April 29, 2021

Went to a covid vaccination site yesterday and have to say, I wasn’t really looking forward to it. I’m not an anti-vaxxer or anything, but living with a unique form of mast cell disease really gives you pause when introducing anything new into your body; you never know how your body’s going to react. But…
