hi, i'm forest. humans are inherently social, thus i felt the need to write a block of text all about me hoping someone will read it despite kind of hiding it. as you may be able to tell by the dull and sparse nature of this website, i am not a creative person. i have ideas, sure - many, in fact - but whether it is due to lacking the abilities to realise them or just the vigor, they remain formless. this bothers me and it is why i made this website. just so i can realise something, even if it is only useless text.

site structure:
home page to offer resources for relaxation
bio page for all my random personal information
journal page for journaling
photography page for an archive of my photography

i would like to mourn the website i had been writing in random sessions over a period of 3 years, which was genuinely creative and nearly complete. try not to run your main operating system with the only copy of your website on a usb hard drive and accidentally unplug it while your computer is switched on.
most of the time spent writing that website and this one was coding bad ideas and removing them. or trying to center text. i may have written the code myself but it is mostly trial and error

my bucket list:
summit a mountain
use a scanning electron microscope
complete an untethered spacewalk via rcs
ride a bicycle in iceland
