Staggerford expresses the split-second moment between daytime and the night, when all at once the events of that day push toward a feeling. In this moment it's important to weigh not only the intentions of the heart, but the reality of actions. At times, Staggerford represents the mind busy at work, and problem solving an unknowable world while the weary body yearns for rest. At other moments it's a calming knowledge that tomorrow the sun will rise, and there is another chance to try.

Be it pride, sympathy, or simply the lack of not knowing what else to do, Staggerford has taken it upon themselves as their duty to present their thoughts to the world. They hope they can merely help, though they certainly don't claim to have all the answers. Sometimes it's just good to know you're not alone.
