Live; Do Good™

Introductions! That great thing where we go amnesic. Let's see... I go online by many names, depending on what I'm focusing on, skcld/cloud for this site and the donghua community, klwver as an artist and redacted on discord, where I also post wallpapers. I'm self-taught in all my interests - doing and learning a bit of everything; but above anything else I focus on self-discovery and balance.

Main hobby is drawing, some of my sketches are on the Gallery tab; this I've done since I can hold a pencil. Aside from that, I'm also interested in all sorts of other arts and crafts, some ologies to the mix, philosophy, geology, astrology... To be fair, I'm always adding something to the list, any subjects that catch my attention and ease my mind in any way.

As for this site, it's something I've always wanted to create. A page of my own, with the complete freedom that comes along with it. Having delved further into the indie web "scene" (interesting how it became a movement), I couldn't be happier with how comforting it feels. Under Aurora's Starlight was then born, an ode to the ethereal beauty and calm of the northern night sky, yet with the greenery aesthetic I adore.

Luckily, I've never been the social media type, but the very few interactions I've had were more than enough - no need to elaborate further. Internet is an elaborate concoction of all you can think of, and in the midst of it all we find wonderful little gems; if there's anything we can do as internauts is to create our own safe havens for like-minded folk; a place for people who care about expression, authenticity and privacy. Small corners where warmth still lingers, and web still maintains its original purpose.

This has always existed, and it's wonderful to see it thrive, as new people who haven't had the chance to experience it, start embracing it without looking back ♡

All to say... this whole site is my attempt at trying something different, fun, comfy, rough around the edges yet something that reflects, even if just a bit, a little piece of me.

You are a comforting light in the darkness.
