Welcome to my Website

I am an absolute beginner when it comes to coding please bare with my ugly website

Hello welcome to my first ever proper website. I am extremely new to coding so please bear with me as I learn the ropes. I really like that the site provides tutorials on how to do HTML coding otherwise I would be lost similarly to how I was in the early 2000s when I seen the older kids with websites and they refused to ever show me how they did it.

About Me

I'm a 25 year old East Coast Canadian who has a passion for reading, writing, art, music and horror among other things. One of those things being the old internet which is why I'm here. As a kid I always wanted my out site I use to watch older kids make geocities sites and myspace pages I thought that that was how the internet was always going to be and boy was I wrong. While the early years of Facebook, Instgram and Tumblr drew me in the novelty has really worn off and the sites have exhausted me. Especially as an arti

Why am I here?

My entire life I have written from diaries and journals to poems and prose. I have written something almost everyday for most of my life. I've always wanted to post and share these things to the world however I wasn't sure I wanted to do that publicly. Social media accounts feel like a townsquare to me everyone in your community is there ready to hear anything you have to say and while that fascinated me as a kid as an adult the novelty has worn off and I'm finding myself step further and further away from modern social media sites or at least publicly. I have a Twitter or now X for the sole purpose to see live reactions to a few shows I watch and discuss them with a community and I do this anonymously but it still doesn't feel private to me and I can't really describe why. It's also designed like other social media sites to push posts and ads at you as fast as possible in a format that is as addicting as possible. It's really beginning to drain me. I've cut down drastically on social media. The only place I really ever post anymore is sharing a silly photo or video on my Instagram and maybe a full post a few times a year. I'm limiting mobile scrolling and I plan to limit more and I am beginning to seriously consider deleting tiktok and every day I get more and more serious about it. Oddly the thing that keeps me there are a very specific genre of edits. This paragraph has gone on for much too long but I think it gets how much I write (or rather ramble) across.

So Why Neocities

I am much to young to really truly have a good memory of geocities but I always loved it I had this belief as a kid that I would also have my own site one that websites like the ones on geocities were the extent of online posting. Boy was I ever wrong. But now with Neo Cities and an adult brain that can comprehend code I'm giving myself the website I have always wanted. I love the old internet I love how individualistic it was how creative and free it was and how there was little to no financial incentives. People were posting for the love of posting for the love of sharing and the love of their passions and interests. I'm hoping to continue to expand this website to reflect all my favorite things and passions and hopefull I will soon have a much better looking site for you guys.
