Hello there! I'm learning to use HTML to build a site!

My name is Rhea, and this is my site! In elementary and middle school, I used to spend hours on Blogspot and Weebly and everything of the sort, reading as many personal blogs and websites as I could get my hands on. I also dabbled in extremely basic web dev on Tumblr (read: copying and pasting HTML chunks to modify my theme). Recently, I've been reading a lot of articles about the return of the personal website (like this one); with social media becoming increasingly commercialized, we are commercializing ourselves as the product, instead of operating it as a user. In short, I really missed the transparency and vulnerability of personal sites. I also noticed I was spending a ridiculous amount of time on social media without actually taking in anything I was seeing.

I imagined this space as a sort of virtual living room that people could come by and learn about me. Hopefully, just by navigating around, you might be able to get a sense of who I am! This site is also a challenge to myself to learn HTML/CSS. Despite my dad having bugged me for years to learn Python, I'm a complete novice at any sort of programming. This website is a continuous work in progress, so please be patient with me! Stay as long as you like; I hope you enjoy it here :)

*everything on this website has been coded by hand, from scratch, by me!
note: this site is not optimized for mobile. in fact, it looks pretty bad on mobile. so please view me on desktop!
