Intro and Purpose

Hello Everyone! My name is Cat and I'm a 35 year old girl in Maryland.

After reminicing about the old web and looking at archived geocities sites, I wanted to create a space of my own. A rabbit hole of my love nostalgia and the deep pain I feel for it. I remember between the 5 to 7th grades looking through geocities webrings for doll makersites and looking for quizila links. It was such a time and everythng had a charm to it that can't be captured in modern social media. The closest thing to the old web would be Tumblr, but is barely hanging on. I miss the old tumblr days as well.

I don't have a lot of friends and I often feel like I can't connect with anyone. I miss my childhood and adolecense where, while I was stuggleing mental health-wise, I had a huge group of friends and classmates. I wish I could go back to that time when things were more simple, I didn't have to worry all the time, and didn't have to have unnecessary responsibilities. I struggle with this all the the time. All the friends lost by change/drifting apart/ fights. More decessed family members. Watching people move on in their lives (getting marries, buying a home, being independent) and I feel stuck. I love the past but also feel so stuck in it.
