Welcome back everyone!! For those who were unaware, I recently took down my website. Upon reflection, I really shouldn’t have taken it down, but I was going through a really tough time emotionally, and I felt like I needed a break from Internet stuff. And for some reason, that break involved taking down my website for a bit.
Well, now I’m back. In this blog post, I’ll explain what happened, what’s new with the site, and what’s next.
What Happened?
To put it simply, I was extremely upset at a close online friend. I won’t get into the details. I don’t even know where to begin describing it without divulging potentially sensitive information about events and incidents that happened in mostly private settings.
Let’s just say, whatever happened made me extremely upset and depressed to the point where I needed a break from the Internet. This included taking my site down, which I do apologize for not being here. I’ve taken some time away, and now I’m back and ready to continue working on my site.
What's New with the Site?
After I decided to conclude my break from the Internet, I decided to look back at my site and make some changes I’ve been wanting to make for a long time.
For starters, the Home and Music pages have ditched their weird, multi-box layouts. Instead, both of those pages have all of their content condensed into a single box with dividers. The original layouts have been broken for a long time (especially on Firefox, where the boxes looked very uneven), so I’m glad to finally get that fixed.
Next, I decided to remove the Chatbox. No one was really using it, and it feels like a redundant feature to have, especially when the Guestbook is a thing that exists. Thus, the Chatbox is no more.
Finally, I finally finished the Blog Migration to the new Blog site!!! This is something I started...I don’t know how long ago. It was supposed to be done within a week or a month, but I guess that project ran WAY over time. Finally glad to get that done.
Now that the new stuff is covered, let’s talk about…
What's Next?
For the site, I’m going to try to continue to knock out some more Construction Checklist items. I’ve been procrastinating on stuff for so long on here, I think it’s about time I start working on things here more.
As for me personally, I’m still healing from what happened. I was really close to the person I was upset at, so everything that happened hit me pretty hard emotionally. I’ve mostly brushed off major things this person has done to make me upset in the past, but this time hits different.
Most of the other times they’ve made me upset, it was a matter of differences in opinions. This time, it felt like they went out of their way to make me upset. I don’t think I can brush this off like the last times. I’m unsure if our friendship is at a point where it can recover. Would like to be friends with this person again, but after everything...I just don’t know.
I think that’s all I have to say for right now. Thanks for reading, and welcome back to my website.
