About the Webmaster

Literally me

Hello! and nice to meet you.

My neocities profile: neocities.org/site/mygrain

I'm a third-year university student and I like to play and draw. It's kinda difficult to fill an entire About Me page when you're trying not to doxx yourself... You'll find more info about what I'm usually up to by just exploring my site, but overall I'm a sensitive person lol. I've spent a good deal of my life feeling depressed and in my own head, but I'm finding my way out. I've been pushing myself to live more sensually and get out of my apartment — crazy stuff, I know — and I've started feeling better very recently, which is why I'm back to updating my Neocities site.

I enjoy nature viscerally, and I've concluded after years of consideration that I'm more affected by my environment than others are. I feel kind of sick if I don't visit the mountains or a forest or the ocean often enough. It's sort of ridiculous, honestly. A hundred years ago, I would have been one of those sent to the sea for hysteria. In contemporary reality, where I can't leave my college town for another year, I put a lot of care into how my apartment looks. Seeing others' homes with bare walls makes me dry heave.

Recently, I've been indulging in my hobbies a bit more, like learning to play the guitar (the only songs I have memorized are "It's You I Like" by Mr. Rogers and "Birds Don't Sing" by TV Girl — psychoanalyze me I dare you). I've been reading more books and even joined a book club. I've enjoyed drawing and writing stories since I was very young, and I've been trying to combine and consolidate two separate "worlds" I have so they're easier to think about overall, haha.

Food has become a much more conscious presence in my life over the past several months and I hardly go out to eat. I have a teeny tiny kitchen (literally no counter space; I lay a big wooden cutting board over the sink), but I do what I can. It sounds silly, but I've been having a lot of fun trying new foods lately: I had hummus for the first time about a month ago and now I'm addicted. I ate an orange for the first time last week. Up next is avocado; I saw this tofu and avocado dish on one of those really calming Korean lifestyle YouTube videos and I'm planning to recreate it.

I'm very open to speaking with you! Especially since you've made it this far, haha. You can reach me at tank.tyke@gmail.com. We can be online pen pals :-) Take care.
