Dear diary,

It's finally been two years since Uyu Muyu ‼️‼️‼️

All of this still feels so unreal to me. The days are getting brighter, school's ending, AND it's been two years since I started this whole thing. Two years and I already got this far (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠！

Dam.

My Instagram account started as a trashy attempt at going viral, as I would set my phone camera up at crazy angles and decorate my brother's old desk with random shit so it would look aesthetic for tiktok (which I deleted lol). I thought locking in, being aesthetic, and flooding my captions with buzzwords would get me my first million, but no. The one video that blew up on my page and changed my whole life was shot in a stinky dark room, no fancy camera angles, and it was my first ever spacehey website. And now, my entire account (and one of my biggest and most consistent hobbies) is indie website making, thanks to your support ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡

But as things got rough (well, rougher than they already were), the indie web became more than just a hobby and a community, but also one of the only things that kept my self worth. Growing up, I had always had strict parents, and through the fighting and screaming and late nights bickering with them, I just got used to it, dreaming of the day I turned 18. But when I did turn 18, I was still trapped under my parents' authority. Parental controls kept locking up my phone when I needed it the most, I'd still have to get my parents to drive me around places even though I have a license (ok well this one's because I totalled my car but wtv), and they take away my phone AND my switch at 9pm. Crazy.

When my family said, "you're being so lazy every time you get the opportunity to work hard," "you can't go to your dream art school as much as we want you to," and "you're not truly free from us until you leave for college," Uyu Muyu looked back at me and said, "you don't have to fight their every word, we got your back," "you're not lazy, you spend hours making all these cool websites and impress everyone with them," and "you're already living your dream life. You just don't know it yet."

When I needed freedom the most, Uyu Muyu held out their hand.

Hands, really, because all of you are the reason why I have another path in life to look forward to.

OK BEFORE THIS GETS TOO LONG, I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN IF YOU FOLLOWED ME A WHILE AGO AND FORGOT WHO I AM. LOVE YOU, BYE, SEE YOU AFTER GRADUATION 🎓.

Yours truly,
Uyu Muyu.
