    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

Comfy Couches

Hey everyone! I know I haven’t put up a new blog post here in a few weeks but I’m back now ;).

I decided to take a short sabbatical from posting because I felt like I wasn’t doing a good enough job with this blog and needed to step back to get some perspective on things.

I really do love stories…really really love them lol and I intended for this blog to be an environment where people who love stories can feel cozy and right at home. But I wasn’t achieving that in the way I had hoped and it started to really bother me.

In a lot of ways I felt that the blog was like a house without any really comfy furniture. Sure there might be interesting stories and conversations starting up but it’s hard to hang out for long in a place without any comfy couches, just sayin.

After taking some time off I know what I need to do now though and will be making these adjustments over the next month. Things will be kicking off soon with something simple but super important: an easier to remember url to get here. The Beginning url was right for the start of this blog back in 2008 but I know that these days it’s become a pain for a lot of people who are just trying to come by and see the latest posts.

Anyway, I think you’ll be really happy with all the new stuff coming up and will feel right at home :).

Thanks,
Anita
