> i don't want my feelings to die with me. i'd rather spread them around the net and thus let them live for a little while longer: the things I've experienced, the path i've travelled up until now, all the details and pictures and moments of all kinds, happy to miserable, have to also live outside of myself for them to amount to something.

> i also want to practice html :)

Hi! i'm Lú, currently 22 y/o, and i've laid this out for myself and others to pass through. I think all consumption with no spewing out/giving back is bad for me and so want to create something that'll last, something i can look at from time to time and think "its pretty neat this is here, this thing that came to be by my hand". Maybe i want an outlet for expression that doesn't require me to brace for the other's answer, more an echo room than a genuine conversation. maybe i want a hiding place for all the things i don't have anyone i trust enough to hear me say. I mostly want a website that is mine and looks pretty, and a way to feel like im making use of the things i studied for (compsci).

It's also exciting in a weird voyeuristic kinda way knowing complete strangers will peek at my biggest problems and then forget about me forever. Keeping this on the web instead of relegating it to a paper journal or notes app or such is pretty appealing, like venting on twitter or shittalking people on ranked games. Something about anonymity.

However you got here, welcome! This space is yours as much as it is mine and ill tidy up as best i can so its enjoyable to be here. I'll get a guestbook at some point, so definitely leave your mark if you have the time :)
