Hello
My neocities page is finally online for your viewing pleasure!
I have always been conscious of my relationship to the internet. I appreciate being a part of online communities and Neocities feels like the perfect place for me to set up shop and build something of my own. I think personal websites have the potential to replace social media, as you get more out of it, you own your data, and you don't have to check any corporate boxes. I hope the culture of the internet will change for the better in the next few years.
I am not interested in making this website be the flashiest or best designed one on the internet, but I hope it can serve as a place for you to hang out and enjoy what it was like to use the internet for what it once was: just a silly little place to fuck around. On my end, it serves as a space where I can explore new projects and ideas without the influence of algorithms, ads, and other people.

Things I think about:
- I hate having to drive everywhere and I hate how expensive everything is. I love road trips, though.
- In an ideal world, people wouldn't have to worry about food, money, or housing.
- Believe it or not, I was really into C++ coding at one point in my life. I don't remember much any more and I feel like this whole site has been duct-taped together. Sorry!
- In the future, I would like to learn how to draw again, be more confident in my writing, and perhaps start making zines so I can take some of the work I've put into this website into an offline environment.
- I have two cats, and a bunch of plants. I try to be a well-rounded person, so I try to learn a little bit of everything, and I hope this website reflects that. I love nature, tech, and I'm hip with the culture. I keep my ear on the ground if ya know what I mean.
- I like to cook and I hate to clean.
