WELCOME, ME

Fancy that, I seem to have made it after all. This took slightly longer than I expected it to. Building this skeleton of a website, I mean. The date I have this archived under isn't entirely accurate, but it's close enough. Initially I thought I would have this build ready to go before that following week. Ha. Haha. HAHAHAHAHA. No. Life, amirite?

Now, if you have been drawn here by the silent song, I would like to h u m b l y welcome you to this digital hovel of mine. What a fun hobby to hone; I never would have thought I would be able to learn HTML and CSS as quickly as I have. Granted, I am but a novice at this stage. Annnnnd I still have to tackle Javascript for a few things that I would like to get done prior to uploading Heart_Stains to Neocities (or anywhere else). Pretty sure that'll make this the fourth attempt at Javascript and its pain-in-the-ass syntax.

With all that being said... what exactly is this? What am I doing here?

Once upon a time, I used to journal like many others did and do. And, like many others did or have done, I stopped. For what reason, I cannot say for certain. But I miss it, truly. And what better way to reincorporate that little therapeutic pastime than to integrate it into another pastime!

I have plans for a digital diary, a bit of a blog, some (probably jank) interactive bits and bobs here and there. The sky's the limit really. And, for those few who know me from somewhere else, this will allow me to give you a little bit more insight as to what is going on in my personal life. Well, I suppose that applies to everyone who ever stumbles across this.

Does any of this really matter? OF COURSE NOT! We've a long way to go until the departure. And I have so much for you and myself and nobody to listen to, read, watch, hear, feel, ingest before that last chapter comes to a close. So why not stay a while? I'll fix you something to eat. In the meantime, come in, take your shoes off, have a seat, and enjoy whatever comes next. Or don't.

What is "start" or "end" on a circle? I feel like I've only just begun something which always was. Have you always been? Will you keep being? For us? Allow me to spill my heart.

Welcome, Me. Welcome to Heart_Stains. You always were. Weren't you?
