hello. my name is jean and this is my new website. i'm going through a transitional phase in life right now, fuelled by a couple of key realisations about patterns in my life and relationships. (and my pre-frontal cortex finally developing) number one of which, is that i have had a crippling social media addiction for nearly a decade and it's damaged my brain and my perception of the world. it's also majorly majorly MAJORLY affected my creative ability. it's not all bad... the internet has been my best friend since i was nine years old. but her current phase of algorithmically generated echo chambers and SEO optimisation and growth and dopamine loops.... it's been very bad for me. i've lost my identity. but hey... i'm an adult now. i'm responsible for keeping myself in check and recognising when i'm not being my best self.
my goal for this website is to create a space on the internet for me to anonymously post my more vulnerable writing, experiment with digital multimedia work, and gain more autonomy and control over my online presence. it's going to start out pretty navel-gazey and self-obsessed, i fear. but that's because i'm posting less self-focussed stuff elsewhere on the internet under my govt name. i'm excited to get started and learn more html and css.
