When I was in middle school, I had a Wattpad of 2K+ readers, which was perhaps the closest thing to fame I ever experienced. It was strange, though, to think that strangers on the internet were reading about sappy love stories or death from the perspective of a 12 year old. I volunteered to make minimal book cover designs (what I thought to be soooo modern and forward) on community forums for new writers and published new chapters every week.

When I deleted my account in high school because I felt so cringe, I thought it was a good thing to remove traces of myself that felt raw and undeveloped on the web. Now I deeply regret removing this history of self. I am eager to build intentional spaces to archive pieces of me digitally, hence your arrival, here. I think this practice also includes sharing my writing, which I am trying to be better at. This of course, includes my un(der)developed and un(der)articulated thoughts.

I currently share my writing on my substack, Schema Acquisition. If you do end up reading it, I would love to hear your thoughts. I see numbers on the dashboard that tell me, oh, people are reading! Oh, people are visiting! But no person rarely shares that they are actually reading so I am always left wondering on my own...!
