March 14, 2025 - Ramblings of a Rut
Over the past two years, I’ve been deeply involved in the indie web/old web/personal web community, and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve revisited and improved my skills in HTML and CSS, and more recently, I’ve started dabbling in JavaScript despite not being particularly fond of writing it. Despite this progress, I’ve hit a rut over the past few months. I’ve struggled to finish my website and get it to a state I’m happy with. I think this stagnation might be due to depression, though it’s also possible that life has just been overwhelming lately.
For those who don’t know, I’m a Deaf Studies student with aspirations of becoming an interpreter for the Deaf. Outside of academics, I’m an avid VRChat player (yes, I know, gross). My partner and I are also in the process of building a community for artists in the VR space, which has been taking up a significant amount of my time alongside school. This might be why I’ve been sidelining my website and other creative projects.
I’m not sure what to do about my site or the other ideas I have brewing. I’ve been considering limiting my activity in the Nekoweb community for reasons I don’t want to delve into here (perhaps I’ll explore this in a future post). Maybe I should just take a break altogether? I’m not entirely sure.
At this point, I feel like I’m just rambling.
Anyways, here's a random picture in my phone:
