Who am I?
Hi! I'm syl! I'm 26 at the moment and I'm trying to understand who I am along the way through what I do, be it by creating, sensing, thinking, feeling or acting.
From my understanding at this moment, I see myself as a person (I am because I'm sentient). I am my body, my mind, my memories, my emotions, and to some extent, the labels and perceptions others have of me. All of this weaved into a delicate everchanging fabric, I'm a tapestry that develops in every breath I take. Hopefully I'll be able to observe the full pictures and it's details with more clarity as I live and learn.

my likes: nature in most of it's forms; artistic and creative outlets; authenticity; contrast; harmony; comfy blankets; the sensation of a slight breeze on a warm day; being bathed in sun's light; the sound of tree's leaves twirling with the wind; the sound of the waves crashing into rock formations; petting a chinchilla or a bunny or even a cockatiel or a snake; care and be cared for; the deep red color of both blood and pommegranate seeds; intricate glassware; delicate swords; lace and metal together; knowing I'm important in someone's life; daydreaming; astrology and tarot as it's intriguing how it was created and understood; the look of leather; the look of rope; messy makeup; something interesting; something intriguing; obsession in the creation of something interesting, especially for devotion (mostly in relation to art); versatility; surprises; a sharp knife; red and burgundy ink pens; equity; love for the other; kindness; curiosity; hope and kindness in the face of cruelty, predice and despair;
my dislikes: hatred; cruelty; fakeness; hierarquies and their enforcement; prejudice; capitalism and overconsumption; feeling so lost and impotent; doomscrolling; seeing how easily hatred proliferates; individualism to the point where you disconnect from the otter; sameness; too much concrete and asfalt; not feeling seen or heard; feeling overlooked or ignored; the texture of a lot of textiles, especially denim and most rugs; fake plants when you can actually have real ones; too much grey or beige with any interest; selfish people;

Why making the site?
On the 3rd of april 2025 I decided it would be fun to do a website. Not only that, I thought it would be an interesting way to understand who i am and how I work in this language that is the HTML (with some CSS too of course).
I don't know how to code but I want to do this from scratch for fun! And seems more immersive that way perhaps. Easier to understand how the language works in a way.
It is a process, but it has been fun! At least for now. Hopefully it continues to be fun, or at least interesting in some way!
As you can see, this page is also a work in progress.
At the moment I'm following this tutorial and this one too. I'm also getting inspired by different sites, hopefully I'll link them here soon,
I'll keep updating this corner of the internet to find a system that makes sense for me, so be on the lookout while I learn to navigate this digital ecossystem.
See you soon!*
