imagine hurting someone who’s only goal was to make you happy

I started writing again.

I wish I never picked up this pen again. It only happens when my heart is broken. Each time worst than the last, and each time fearing the pieces will be too small to fit back together.

I write of love, of sadness, of what-ifs that keep my mind awake. Of desire, of sacrifices, of the endless things I've poured into them.

I started writing again. I wish to find someone who will let me put this pen down forever.

MICROSOFT has released the source code to MS-DOS 4.00 under the MIT license ...

https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/opensource/2024/04/25/open-sourcing-ms-dos-4-0/

"Ten years ago, Microsoft released the source for MS-DOS 1.25 and 2.0 to the Computer History Museum, and then later republished them for reference purposes. This code holds an important place in history and is a fascinating read of an operating system that was written entirely in 8086 assembly code nearly 45 years ago. 

Today, in partnership with IBM and in the spirit of open innovation, we’re releasing the source code to MS-DOS 4.00 under the MIT license. There’s a somewhat complex and fascinating history behind the 4.0 versions of DOS, as Microsoft partnered with IBM for portions of the code but also created a branch of DOS called Multitasking DOS that did not see a wide release."

When holding a cup of water, after 10 seconds, you're okay. After 10 minutes, it starts to hurt. After 10 hours, it's burning and painful to keep going.

I've held my cup for 12 of my 22 years. And I've finally dropped the cup. The cup is my soul that has now shattered. The water, my memories and joy that filled it, now floods the floor.

I suffered pain and I continue to suffer pain. But no more will I hold the cup. I have been strong for too long. I will take refuge in healing.

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website

do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!

what is neocities?

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."

why should I make my own website?

web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

what would I even put on a website?

the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !! here are some cool example sites to inspire you: recently updated neocities sites | it can be fun to just look through these and browse people's content! space bar | local interstellar dive bar creature feature | halloween & monsters big gulp supreme peanutbuttaz | personal site dragodiluna linwood | personal site patho grove | personal site

Multifaceted

The more I sit with myself and give myself a chance to look into my mind, the more I'm met with conflicts of interests. Like, on one hand I love nature and the outdoors and hiking and cottagecore and just wanna be surrounded by flowers. On the other hand, futuristic cyberpunk and bleeding edge tech are literally what I study and put my energy into almost every day. Then I'll have a random recurring urge to buy a VHS player and a CRT tv and watch some of the VHS of Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society.

Some days I want to channel all of these interests, other days I'm hyperfocused on one. This is new, because I've never had the chance to actually sit down with myself and figure out what I like.
