I have a problem with history.

Don't get me wrong. I love the subject. I love the stories and intricacies that tie things together. I love the fact that the world is ultimately a convoluted mess of a web that only begins to make sense when you look back on the past.

That still doesn't change the fact that I have a problem with history.

You see, I have a problem with the word - "history". Specifically, the first syllable that seem to imply that stories from the past are essentially stories of our patriarchs. Hence, I prefer to use the non-gender-biased Malay word for history -sejarah. However, given that not everyone is familiar with the Malay language, I would be giving some an advantage over others so I have thus decided to simply create a new word to describe stories of our past that would be free of racial, gender and whatever else bias.

Thus, Weestories is born. A tale of our times. A tale of us.

Welcome to Weestories.
