This all started with an image that was taken of me my Sophmore year of highschool. I forgot about it for a while until I needed a picture of me on rather short notice for an assignment. It was the only image I could find, and for some reason it was really funny to me. Something about the poor quality, the image being slightly stretched, the mediocore outfit, it gives off what I can only decribe as "mormon energy".
After that I used the image for anything that required an image of me. Eventually, when I made an Instagram account to stay connected with my friends, I once again used the image. I can't exactly remember why, but in 2023 I announced that it was "talk like a pirate day" (yes that's a real holiday), and from there every once and a while I would announce whatever obscure holiday it was that day.
I've been doing this for years at this point, and this stupid joke has wrapped around from being ironic to now being sincere. I understand that this comes off as silly, and I mean no disrespect by making this my website, but this "hobby" truely does mean something to me.

...But thats not the whole story, I have to admit that I don't really have many accomplishments in life. I spent much of my life being directionless, trying to slip by unnoticed because it felt like the "safest option". I had extreme trouble commiting to anything, and I still haven't nailed down quite why I am this way, but I am trying to fix it. It's only recently that I've been trying to get more out of life, so unfortunately, I don't have much to show for myself. But over the years, this one stupid joke has been one of the few things that I have managed to truely commit myself to, and it motivates me to do more. If I can dedicate myself to this small bit, I can dedicate myself to larger projects. This keeps me motivated, and is what really made me decide to stop trying to be invisible.
