feel the same too re: websites as craft. is honestly part of the appeal as transitioned from keeping physical journals to a web page. the vigilance to stop romanticising the past is also important to maintain - always think its interesting how many children use neocities as an anemoia producer to escape the terror of the modern age.
Can definitely relate. XD There will, eventually, maybe, be mermaids! It's the spirit of it that counts.
Totally resonated with me too. Sometimes it feels like I’m going to be the last one wearing a mask, still trying to give a damn at the end of the world.
Congrats on two years. If you're not part of the audience you're writing for, you're doing something wrong. It's a good sign that you enjoy reading your own writing.
Happy belated site anniversary. I like the parody index page. Hope you'll be around for a long time.
Dedication to the constructive, especially through difficult periods where it seems futile or slow-going, is a sign of maturity. May those seemingly fragmented desires congeal into a laser-like focus that helps you to achieve your dreams.
you don't draw digitally at all, right?
I color some stuff digitally, but I just like pen and paper more. The physicality of it makes it satisfying.
