the adr's web
hi my name is anna. i'm 21 years old. i'm a college student majoring in environmental science. i dont know much about astrology but if youre intrested i'm a leo sun, aries moon, and sagittarius rising.
I started this website in January of 2025 after watching a YouTube video recommended to me, you should make a personal website and join the indie web ^_^. After watching the video, I went down a rabbit hole of people's personal websites. The next day, I started my website.
I never posted on social media growing up. My parents were very anti-social media, and I think they passed that down to me. They tried to keep me off social media because of stranger danger. So growing up, I never really felt like I missed anything. I opened my first social media platform in middle school, Snapchat. But I mostly used it as a messaging platform and never posted any stories. In high school, I was forced to open a Facebook page because of a School project. And finally, I opened an Instagram account in my senior year of high school (March 2022) after giving in to peer pressure. I’ve never posted on either of those platforms either. Posting on social media just felt too revealing??? (IDKK I just didn't care for people knowing what I was up to). However, I feel free to post on my own website because I’d rather have complete strangers (and a few friends) know what I do/think.
I also loved the way that you have complete freedom to do whatever you want on a personal website. You aren't tied down to the grid of social media platforms. You can post any media in any format you wish. I’m on my 3rd website template. You can't really do that with social media; the only way to change the look of it is by changing what you post. Therefore, changing yourself in a way(the way you are perceived).
