I finally learned how to compress files, and I’m not being dramatic when I say it changed my life. My site was screaming that I’d used almost 30% of my memory, and I spiraled for a full five minutes before figuring out compression existed. Now it’s sitting pretty at 2.6%. Efficiency queen behavior.

Next, I want to work on accessibility, starting with fitting some of my pages onto a standard square screen. It never occurred to me that it needed to be optimized, so I’d like to formally apologize to every web developer I’ve ever taken for granted. Still, I’m excited to figure it out. There’s something addictive about watching things actually work.

Outside of that, I haven’t slept properly in days. Insomnia’s back, and t̶o̶m̶o̶r̶r̶o̶w̶’̶s̶ (woops it's 4:30am) going to hurt. Send thoughts, prayers, and caffeine.

it’s officially been almost two weeks of me obsessing over this website. it started as a random idea and somehow turned into my entire personality. i finally got it to a point where i can add journal entries and updates, which means it’s at least semi-functional while i keep building everything else behind the scenes.

learning to code has been… chaotic. i don’t actually know what i’m doing, but i’ve been figuring it out as i go. chatgpt has basically been my tech team while i sit here acting like the creative director of something much bigger than it is.

every page has its own vibe because i can’t do just one. i get bored too easily. i want each one to feel like a different version of me, the same girl, different mood. maybe it would look cleaner if it were all cohesive, but i’d rather it reflect all sides of me which is why I started this project in the first place. Every other platform for journaling made me feel like I was creatively limited.
