my name is nile! im a 20ish year old college student living in the northeastern US. even though ive spent my entire life chronically online, ive only ever lurked. so i've started this site to try and break that habit, at least a little.
while web development is an interest of mine and i love programming, my main goal with this site is improving my own self expression. i'm pretty emotionally muted, and never really write about myself and have trouble talking about the things i like. so this site is for me to write about things im too embarassed to talk about. at the same time, im writing this all under my real name, so there's a bit of fun risk! (if you somehow find this site and know me in real life, please don't let me know. i don't need to know that.)
here are some THINGS that i LIKE:
