plans for the website + personal milestone! ✺◟(•ω•)◞✺
july 22nd, 2024
hi everyone! welcome to the first blog post, today i did a lot of work and finished a basic layout for the website! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝ it took a lot of work but i'm finally done, for now the plans for the website are polishing things some more and making more pages like shrines to things i like, an about page, stuff like that, i still want to make some big changes on the layout but it already looks pretty cute so i can focus on other things. neocities is unlike everything i've ever used on the internet (no website had me learning to code like this one XD), the learning curve has been STEEP but making a website has been an incredibly rewarding experience, i've been pretty burned out of social media as a whole but now i finally found a new outlet for my thoughts and creativity and on a more personal note (as most of this blog will be from now on), i hope it's also a place where i can make friends and socialize, i'm a very lonely person and other places on the internet are absurdly toxic, i've been trying to overcome the social anxiety that hit me like a truck after a while of being ok and hanging out with people on therapy, it has been tough, sometimes i feel like years of progress have been undone but i just need to accept that this type of thing isn't a linear process, there's always it's ups and downs, and i'm trying my best to get through this, it's really not easy, so wish me luck! (〃＾▽＾〃) today also marks a pretty important personal milestone of mine, it's been a whole month since i stopped smoking! a lot of the time i want a cigarette more than anything else but somehow i got here and i'm not going back now, smoking never brought anything good to me, i started mostly as a way to cope with bad things happening in my life but it didn't work, it just made me feel worse by submitting myself to such an unhealthy coping mechanism. the journey has just begun and i don't plan on giving up, it'll feel impossible sometimes but it's the only way towards a better future, so i have to keep at it!
