THE WEBSITE:

^{I wanted a place for myself on the web that I could personalize to my heart's content. My existence on social media apps has always felt stagnant and bland.}

^{I started making sites at 14/15, and a friend I met on AOL taught me to not only code but code well. She also taught me graphic design. I slept on coding and design for a long time in my twenties, wanting to focus on writing projects.}

^{I jumped back in around 2022, after seeing I could make a home on Neocities and not be bombarded by ads. Last year I caved and bought a domain name along with hosting from Neocities}

^{I also wanted a safe space for my writing, and for it to be a place others in the LGBT+ community could go to relax and escape. My door is open for anyone feeling overwhelmed, and you can always talk to me.}

^{I've had many, many sites over the years, and several domains. Personal websites are what make the Internet fun in my opinion, always bringing back good memories.}

^{I hope to get a lot better at design and coding again to both push the limits of my creativity and challenge myself.}
