I’m a gray expanse with dark gray text and gifs of screen recordings. I’m quotes and free writing exercises designed and styled in an attempt to illustrate their meaning. I’m a row of emojis: ice cream cone, a grinning face, a desktop monitor. I’m best viewed in a Chrome browser. I’m Windows 10 at home and work; Android Lollipop on the bus and walking around my neighborhood. If you hover over me, I will remind you there is more to explore.

Growing up I was known as saj202ism or KaRaMeLKaT or a dozen plus other names. I was a 48 x 48 px icon with a cute, animated cactus hoping for a hug. I was a buddy profile filled with song lyrics and webding characters and best friends’ initials and countdowns. I was Century Gothic, bright pink or bright orange, occasionally bold. I was an away message with subtext. I only existed sometimes. There were times when I chose to be invisible. There were times when I didn’t exist at all.

physical
adj. of or relating to the body as opposed to the mind.

I’m pink on the inside. Not bright pink, but it feels that way sometimes.
