I might be looking for getting a personal domain/site/hosting thing up for keeping my own work on (images, some audio and who knows what really) for referencing elsewhere. Maybe site stuff later.

First problem is that I don't know how to do this stuff or what to look out for. I've barely touched HTML & CSS.

Second problem is that the internet is rife with middlemen leeching money off stuff by doing nothing and I'd like to avoid those. Anyone have good resources/enough patience to help?

Who knows what she'll encounter when she wakes up tomorrow? Hopefully interesting things to tell her friend(s) about.*

Sleep well, love.

whenever I've abandoned accounts before, I've just left them. Maybe I said goodbye, but usually I didn't.

I just stopped. And I left the account sitting there, always available but never gone.

The only exception to this was my websites, which I lost because I stopped paying for

Both of them I never thought to make backups until it was too late

deleted data/deleted accounts fill me with such.... lamentation

deleting files from my computer is unbearable for me, and the loss of an entire instance is.... painful

depression but in the past

Last year I found an old journal. It had been written in 2014. I don't remember writing it.

But every page was filled with me berating myself for being a failure, day after day of increasingly messy, depressed scrawlings as I hated myself more and more and more. One page had "why am I such a fucking failure" written on it in huge, practically illegible letters.

I still get thoughts like that, but.... that was a horrible time. I'm glad I'm not there anymore.

heard from the other room (fictional death)

The sounds of people screaming and wailing, and police sirens in the distance

And @LottieVixen , giggling

straggling witches alight, in ones and twos, streaming toward the horizon. behind them, the town's lights wink off in sync with the exodus.

eventually there's only starlight, and the guttering blue flicker of the gate's massive torches.

in the distance, a witch calls a missing cat; she soon ascends skyward, a furry head peering from her satchel. she spots you looking on.

"everything well, sister?"
"as well as can be; i suppose. i'll be on my way, just taking one last look."
"i understand. blessed be, friend, and farewell."
"you, too. goodbye."

as you finally prepare to fly, you're still thinking of the expression on her face, and the sound of her voice.
