Hi there! My name is Xalli (among others). It's nice to meet you. This is my little home on the internet, full of the art that I do, thoughts of mine, ramblings on the things that I love, and much more. I hope this isn't a window into my life, but an invitation to sit next to me.

I try to keep things relatively bare bones here. I know some pages can feel a little empty at times, but I hope you can imagine yourself in my room's comfy chair and relax into its simplicity. I hope you stay a while. Come back any time-- make yourself at home.

There's lots more on my sitemap, but here are a few cool pages to get you started: Pages | Zines | Music Media | Writing [Publications]

If you'd like to return to the landing page, you can find it here. Feel free to leave a note on my guestbook or my Neocities profile!

Currently reading: Black Skin White Masks [Frantz Fanon] & Frankenstein in Baghdad [Ahmed Saadawi]
Last read: Black Movie [Danez Smith] -- read my review here!
Currently listening to: Over the Edge [Wipers]
Currently focused on: trying to read more again

And here's a little status update on how I'm doing, via Status Cafe!

Reminders:

• Take it slow. The world is not better or lovelier when it's faster. Be who you need to be right now-- worry about the rest later.
• You don't have to care about everything. You're not less than for not being interested. Love and work for what you want to, and let what isn't right fall away.
• You have agency-- own it. Do what you say you want to. It's not impossible, just hard.
• You, your body, and your mind are a team. Be empathetic and work together.
• You are not a jester; you are for yourself.
• Rituals change everything-- make some more.
• Don't worry if things don't happen right away; change comes slowly.
• Try to see things like you saw them the first time-- with the same love and awe.
• Enjoy every moment-- let every single feeling sink in. Be in your body and experience the world vividly. It's all worth something.
