Welcome to ShouldntBeAKyrie.Com!
I’m a millennial who is in midlife and I don’t know what I’m doing with this website or my life. I hope to figure both of those things out one step at a time. For example, creating memes about liturgy on the internet for other musicians makes me happy. That’s the name of a Gospel song I grew up singing. Maybe I should turn it into a Kyrie! I was an honors kid and got diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 30.
If you have an idea about what should be a Kyrie or what other ideas you can come up with, hit me up! My contact info is on the “contact” page.
The section below is made of actual quotes I've seen from people. Most of them are folks I do not know. If their name is listed, it's because they publicly posted about it or gave me permission to use their name. They are all stock photos. I wasn't sure where the line between being silly and having them not look anything like the person and being aware of racial biases (both my own and society's writ large), so I tried to tread lightly.
