File of the week

This week’s feature file comes in the form of a short story I wrote in 2011. It’s a personal account of the world from the vantage of a 17 year old. I can’t recall much of my thought process, at least not accurately, to be able to confidently share what was going through my mind as I wrote it then. Any attempt to go back 16 years, almost an entire lifetime at the time this was written, and accurately depict my process would be a combination of reasonable, educational, and time-warped guesswork that ultimately may or may not be true. What I can isolate and know to be true, is that this came from my heart.

the goldman archive

This site began as a place to host my various writings from college and beyond. I wanted to ensure my work exists as long as I want it to exist, not as long as as someone else allows it to on their own site. To be sure, a good deal of these still exist in their original place—thanks Distraction and Romain of myDistriKt!—but now all of my work is here in one place (save from some stuff I wrote about brioche and crepes for bakerly). For many, the basement is a place to throw old crap and forget about it. For me, the basement was a place to hang out with friends in a cool space. Many great childhood memories took place in the basement of my parents house. Our basement was also a place to throw crap and forget about it, but we also had a lot of fun down there. I’ve placed my written archive in the “basement” of this site. I welcome you to venture down and take a look around at the memories.
