Hi! I just came across your site today. I really like it. I think I should make a neocities too.

Hey Jeff! Glad you liked my website. I do implore you to make a Neocities page if you love having pure creative-control over your own place on the internet. Feel free to follow me once you make yours! ;-)

I agree with what you said about people opting out of social media just to basically "live" in Neocities / Indieweb / etc. But it's like replacing smoking with drinking. I'm old. I was on the old internet. Had my website in Geocities (with a G!) in junior high (1997!) and pirated games from Usenet forums. I downloaded KoRn mp3 on Napster and spent my nights on IRC. And I tried to replicate that feeling using Neocities and playing old games... but it turns out it was the fact that I was a teenager that made all of that magical. I also ended up working in a radio station back then and took on photography. That's why I decided to write to you, it was very funny to read that on your blog. It was photography what "saved" me because it showed me the way to graphic design and illustration, which eventually became my profession. What I wanted to say is: good luck. Keep going against the grain and creating stuff. Just don't fix on how you felt before and don't try to change how you feel now. If you feel shitty, feel shitty. Read a book, go on a date, sit down alone for a while. Whatever. The day will be over before you know it. You'll be fine. Just keep talking to people IRL. Don't isolate yourself and you'll survive. Anyway, thank you for your writing. It made me think. Have a good life.
