I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

I sadly use Instagram to chat with friends. Don’t use Reddit anymore. Self hosting is something I want to get into but I don’t have time to be a DIY system admin with 0 training right now.
