4/3/2026 I have always wanted to make my own website. Since I was about 3 years old, computers have absolutely fascinated me. I grew up on the family shared purple iMac G3. I thought it was probably the coolest thing ever... To be real, I still think so despite all the advancements the world has made. I LOVE older tech. That's why my site looks like this :P Idk what I am gonna do next, but I am stoked to see how this improves with time. I was born and raised in Shoreline, WA until about age 9. After that, I moved in with my Mother. I ran away shortly after turning 18 due to the home life with her being absolutely terrible. A lot of things caused me to not live with my Father anymore, but I won't get into that. Just know he was a good man with bad habits. He passed tragically in December of 2023, and with that followed the loss of my maternal Grandfather whom I was very close with. It destroyed me for about 2 years. This project is one of my many ways of trying to enjoy life again without them. I know they'd want me to succeed and keep going, not waste away wondering what could've been had they not passed. This is for me. I deserve it. - Maddie
