I officially started making this site on March 15, 2025.

(That was days ago!)

When I first started using the internet, every corner felt alive. DeviantArt had a huge culture of layout customization. I used to love tweaking mine with community templates. Forums and pet collector sites? Even those let you deck out your profile and signature however you wanted. It felt like you. Now? Every profile looks the same. Maybe you get a profile picture. Maybe a banner. And that's it. Everything else is corporate white and sterile gray, and it all feels... dead.

I actually stumbled across Neocities thanks to an old friend from high school, Claire (miss you!), who had their site linked in their Discord bio. Check it out, it still rules. Ever since I saw it, I wanted to make a site that felt as cool and personal as hers. But the final spark came from a video by Luvstar about making a website (here's the vid). It gave me the exact push I needed to finally get off my butt and start.

I love typing at my computer and throwing thoughts into the void where maybe, just maybe, 1 or 2 people will read them.

I don't know why it makes me feel good, but it always has. Before this, I kind of used my private Discord server as a blog, just rambling to my closest friends. I don't really get replies, and that's fine. It's for me.

So if you're reading all this… welcome to my mind palace. My little cyber diary. ᓚ₍ ^. .^₎
