About me

Who I Am Now

Not a defence of the past. Just a little about the person behind these words.

This site was created by Paul Carr for my daughter.

I wanted you to be able to know something about me

If you ever arrive here knowing almost nothing about me, I did not want the only version of me available to you to be made from other people’s memories.

I have made mistakes. Leaving when you were very young is one of the biggest things I have had to live with.

I cannot change the years that passed. I can only be honest about them, and about the fact that I have thought about you far more than you could ever have known.

This page can grow slowly over time. I would rather tell you small true things than try to squeeze a whole life into one page.

Before you were born

A place for the memories I still carry from before you arrived.

When you were little

A place for the memories I still have from the beginning of your life.

The years afterwards

A place to write honestly about the years apart without turning them into a burden for you.

Who I became

A place to tell you about the person I am now, rather than only the person I was then.
