About me (Matthew Bowen)

  • Moved to Hershey Pennsylvania

    I moved to Hershey when I was 7 years old. It was weird getting used to it, but living there might've been the best time of my life.
  • received my first guitar

    My father wanted to get me into music, so he bought a bass guitar for a really cheap price. I didn't learn to play it at the time, but my father had fun learning.
  • Period: to

    The summer of 2014

    In the summer of twenty fourteen, I spent most of my time at my grandparent's house. I was completely oblivious to what was happening, but that is what my father wanted. From late July to early August, I met a woman named Debbie, who would later marry my father.
  • Moving to Wisconsin

    In December of 2015, while I was visiting Debbie with my family, I learned that we would be moving to live with her in the next month. We had to drive there, seeing as we had a dog and a car that couldn't be brought there easily. Although due to the time that we moved here, we got trapped on a highway in the middle of a snowstorm and had to be rescued by the national guard.
  • My sister goes to college

    in 2018, my sister graduated from Turner, and she was accepted to go to UW Whitewater. She's currently finishing her last semester before grad school.
  • Found my core friend group

    In 2019 I found the people that would be my core friend group to this day.
  • Meriter(mental hospital)

    Ever since 2016, when I moved to Wisconsin, I had begun to get chronic depression, and in 2020 it kind of came to a peak. It got to the point where I had to go to a mental hospital for a week. I don't wanna say that I got better, but my outlook on life has definitely changed for the better. Roughly three weeks after I was released, the covid pandemic started.
  • Began talking on discord

    In May of 2020, I was starting to lose a grip of myself, so I went and found a discord server focused on mental health, not knowing that by doing so I had set my life on the path to meet the best people I have ever met.
  • I bought my first guitar with my own money

    I had taken every single penny I had gotten for Christmas and used to pay for my own guitar. It isn't a very good guitar, but it was the first one I bought with my own money. (the guitar is a red rogue rocketeer)
