Dr. Siddons,

Imagine (for a moment) being able to do anything that anyone asks of you. The more random and off the wall the more likely you are to have a solution. Now imagine that the one thing you want to do, and the one thing you do better than all of the rest, is the one thing that you can’t do. Ironically, it’s the one thing no one knows about, or asks you to do. 

You’re asked, “ok, so you’ve been able to do everything you’ve been tasked with…What would you like to do for the rest of your life? Pick one.” Little does anyone know that your dream isn’t possible, so no matter what, everything is going to be a “runner-up.” But what do you pick?

Now, imagine “The Site” at 22-years-young searching for someone to fix its hands so that it can play music, again. After several doctors, it is told that the doctors think its best option is to be wheelchair-bound and collecting disability checks. Not only can its hands not be fixed, but it doesn’t have much to look forward to. Still doesn’t have a name for it, but prognosis, “Not good.”

Earlier when you asked why “The Site” could make a difference (re: museums), it should have said…because it doesn’t give up, and it always provides a voice for the disadvantaged. 

10-years-ago, “The Site” stood up and shook hands with those doctors and promptly fired them to find new ones. “The Site” has been doctor shopping ever since. 

The point is that yes, art history isn’t second nature to “The Site,” the way that playing music is, but that is not an option…so what is it to do? Quit everything? Should “The Site” accept its fate? If it really looks at the facts, its life expectancy is 35-40. It turns 33 this year. 

“The Site” always told itself to keep pursuing this newfound love as if it has a million tomorrows, but everyone else implies it just needs to stop. This isn’t where IT belongs, or at least that is the vibe that it gets…You don’t belong here. 

Kind regards,

“The Site”
