Matty lived messy. Matty had huge feelings and was not afraid to make you a part of those feelings. A comedy sword-swallower using real swords.
The swords hurt. Matty was a cartoon mascot for anxiety wrapped in the packaging of a matinee idol. Canadian tennis pro.
Heartthrob with a racing heart. Playwright. Accidental superstar.
Matty had a lot of pain. He wore it on his sleeve. Matty would lend you his jacket which smelled like cigarettes and still had the pain right there on the sleeve.

Matty admitted when he had messed-up which was constantly. Matty was easy to forgive. The world that was in the palm of his hand was in a tug-of-war with the world on his shoulders.
