happy birthday! <3 (i love your website sm)

When adults have those tantrums with you over miniscule things, that says more about them than it does you. The fact that they can easily put you down for simply doing your job shows that they're the kind of people that take the good things in their life for granted constantly. But they're mistake is they won't realize what they have until it's gone. And what a traumatic day that will be

@barra. ty! sound as though you're speaking from experience. 👀

@chesca partially lol

ehhhhh, i kind of understand losing your shit when money's involved. it's hard to lose money, especially if you're poor. i suppose you'd know better than i would if that person you mentioned is or not. loans are...fucked up. it's not your fault, though. i'm really sorry they took it out on you.

@benny. ty! that helps :))

Happy birthday!!! I luv ur site ...u are so sweet 🎂

The word "harrowing" isn't even strong enough to describe the state of the world anymore, but I'm glad I also have your same coping mechanism of trying to only focus on being the best person I can be to the people immediately around. The universe really likes to deal shit hands. Thanks again for sharing these vulnerable writings, they're amazing as ever to read and reflect with

true the world’s a hot mess rn.. thanks also for taking the time to read Tab

God will never throw more on you than you can bear. He put that strength and wisdom in you for a reason.

thank you for sharing this

i understand this.

chesca going for the literary awards

i can't imagine many things harder to write about than the death of someone close to me. as in, truly exploring it, and reflecting on a life lost. this is so beautiful chesca, inspirational even. thank you.

i didnt come here today to cry dawg fuck

This reminded me to try and show more emotions!! God, I never felt more understood about loving and hating a family member at the same time.

yaproom is now open! :>

a little baby pigeon...

Love it!

DONT HUG ME IM SCARED???? ahh this is so cool 😭

I'm a computer. I'm a computery guy!

this is so dope

thanks jaam <3

Yo, jsyk I made a new Barracudachan button, if you like that one more

Thanks for the heads-up Barr!! i'll give it a look soon

Dude, if your uncle's are offering to sponsor you to go to law school tell them you want to be a human rights lawyer - I doubt that's what they'd got planned for your future!

Thanks, Rampkins! That’s really kind of you! However, I recently impulsively enrolled in something else this year xD but I might consider studying law someday :))

I think I got called out for calling you PG13 lol

that blog entry was a really beautiful read... not in like a creepy way but in a way i can understand... i hope that one day you get the courage to feel more comfortable with yourself (if thats the right words...) <3

yeah, i really liked this one

think what u wanna think :p ira

rejection does sting, but they'll be okay. save your tuesdays for people who can actually match your freak

one of the realest things ive ever read

felt this

also there's a CAT in the neighborhood! i never noticed the cat.

DAMN you're a good writer, hope you find someone one day who just wants to be honest and embrace imperfections

People put on masks to seem normal and get on. You never know, tuesday guy might be a secret orc-gy fetishist too - no limbs left attached!

shoutout orc vore

holy shit, powerful and raw words. I aspire to write this real

You won't see this level of emotion and writing talent on FB or Insta lol

dating is overrated, playing osu! for 12 hours is where it is at.

I feel the same way about NeoCities, also being dumb enough to use my real name lol. I'm glad you've had positive experiences here!

“I’m a quiet lurker” wow that’s news to me

i feel very similarly! neocities fills a void tumblr used to occupy, being a space to express innermost thoughts and connect with likeminded strangers. but also i teach primary school so i have to be mindful to not put anything on my site i wouldn't want my students to stumble across xD

yo teacher in the house thanks for all your hard work supporting our future maza

i, too, tend to tone down or write less about my personal and deep vulnerabilities thanks to an audience i've attracted over the two years i've been here. sucks but kinda doesn't suck bc no one needs to know half the shit i write LMAO.

@ barndoors xD i do my best

I stand by the statement that the difficulty curve to build a site on Neocities is what leads to such high-quality people on here. I pretty much pour almost all of the social energy I have that would normally be wasted on a giant social media app and never regret it because everyone else is also excited to be here. Being on Neocities is a great and fulfilling time in an otherwise terrifying world right now

I left social media for the same reason. Most people on there are both ignorant AND arrogant. Not a good combo.

It's a weird feeling to read about someone liking their name so much lol. I'm the complete opposite. I've come up with a dozen pennames jsut so I wouldn't have to use my real name because I dislike it so much. I was actually just getting ready to write a blog post on it lol.

Hi- you have a very nice article! I have to heavily disagree, however. While there have been plenty of pretty cool A-Ok people, NeoCities for the most part is a quiet and lonely place overall unless you have a popular website. Also, don't sell yourself short- You have 166 followers and tons of likes and comments on the posts you make here! You already blew up lol

Hello, vagabond! I believe u can be surrounded by sooo many people and still feel lonely. As I mentioned, I spent the first three years immersed in my little website with zero audience. And I know being alone and quiet doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely if u enjoy your own company :> Thank you for the kind words! I understand if u disagree with me as i can be wrong & silly or I might've misunderstood what u mean.
