Dear Wanderers, 

Welcome to the Planet Amarise, a world I created because…  I was bored. . This website was the by-product of my devoted desperate attempt at feeling better about my procrastination. On a random sleepless night, I spent a whole day staring at my phone reading manga. I realized I was procrastinating making music. I love making music, the problem is the infuriating need for perfection. I write a song, then it goes through the recording process and then everything goes bust. It doesn’t sound right, a section might be too loud or there’s a part that is slightly out of key and considering I don’t know how to use the pitch correction so I just record again and again till my brain fries. 

I could make little heart shaped burnt brain cookies with the amount of burn out I get from a single song. The worst thing is I’ve had an Artist name change meaning now I have to start again, WHICH MEANS IT HAS TO BE PERFECT. Ugh.

I’ve so far written a single song, Leor.

I have to say it is one of the prettiest little songs I’ve written, by the grace of God. I just want it to be executed perfectly so it feels like a warm hug to the listener. All these emotions and wishes mixed together caused the greatest state of procrastination I have ever seen. 

I was essentially a potato without the couch, a bed potato with a phone. So a radiated bed potato with a fried brain. During my depressed session of being part of the furniture I suddenly was asked to make a small website for my brother’s company. 

It was fun, I got paid in boba and chicken; aside from the tasty food I realized it was actually kinda interesting how my brain was still intact even after six straight hours.

THERE PLANET AMARISE WAS BORN. 

From the depths of my body sized universe an idea spouted, ‘What if there was a planet that was filled with all the stuff from my brain that I loved doing?’

The thought slowly became a reality with all the opening of the site, I was so excited I stayed overnight (then crashed like a giant meteor, all nighter not fun would not recommend) planning and creating Planet Amarise. 

This little website is the ultimate escape, it has art, music, poetry and all sorts of cool creative stuff that I like. A wise dinosaur once told me you miss all the shots you don’t take, Planet Amarise wasn’t even a shot it was the take I made so I wouldn’t have to take a shot at my music and now look, I have a whole music menu to keep reminding myself that I’m a bobble brain if I don’t make any music.

Either way I feel better knowing I can just write, I was starting to get sad thinking that my desire for perfection would mean I would never feel good enough to do anything. Look at how God changes things, one night I’m begging to do anything but be a potato and the next I’m up all night fixing a website that was an idea. 

I hope this website becomes a little safe space for anyone who wants to read, and comment and that all the media sites I have become little homes for anyone who feels the way I do. To anyone who is odd enough that their oddity is a gift. I hope my planet becomes yours. 

Lots of Love, Pats on Heads and encouraging thumbs up!

From Mother Marise

P.S I write like I think, this is definitely going to be an informal website 🙂
