If this website was tracking you (it isn’t*), it would purport to tell me where you came from, or more specifically, the last website you were on before you were here. But trackers only tell the story of the last mile of travel: a bit like saying that a handmade quilt you ordered online came from FedEx.
This website wants to tell a different story, a deeper story. How did you find yourself here? If you clicked on a Facebook link, what prompted you to click? If it was shared by a friend, how did you meet that friend? If you were searching Google, what were hoping to find? Why did you decide to check your email at the moment that you did? What did an algorithm see in you when it chose to place this in your newsfeed? When did you come to follow the account whose post caught your eye? Who were you trying to flirt with when you first downloaded that messaging app? If you could trace back the chain of circumstances and relationships that brought you here, to the paragraph you are reading right now, what story — short and simple, or long and winding — would you choose to tell?
* This isn't strictly true. The site was built with Glitch, and points to a custom domain using Fastly. Each of those has trackers, and it's likely that whatever you clicked to get here does too. But I don't personally know anything about who is visiting the site other than what comes through the below form.
