✿ digital garden ✿

last watered: may 2026

may finds, soft internet scraps, artist way spirals, and tiny proofs of life.

welcome to my may digital garden...

this is where i’m keeping the links, photos, essays, colors, screenshots, tiny internet finds, and soft little visual crumbs that made may feel more alive.

i missed when the internet felt like a place you could decorate, wander through, collect things inside of, and quietly become obsessed with for no practical reason.

nothing here needs to be finished because this is a garden, not a thesis. some things are blooming. some things are compost. some things are just here because they made me feel something for five minutes.

voice filter: show the artifact first. hint at the feeling second. one tiny wink if it fits.

tiny visual references that kept following me around in may. aesthetic, emotional evidence, pretty compost.
