<blockquote style="width:50%; color: #565656; font-size:22px;">If you type <span style="color:#F4CA1F;">lemony.space</span> in your browser, you will get to a website.

I have had it for over six years now. At first the domain name was goodlemons.com, but I changed it when I found out [dot]space cost only a fraction of [dot]com.


I used to be obsessed with lemons. My favorite dessert was a tart for which you use one, and only one, whole lemon for the filling. One year I spent Christmas with my friend's family in Portland, Oregon, a place with <span style="color:#8BAF5B">moss-covered trees and tree-lined streets</span>. My friend's mom kept a lemon tree in the living room because it didn't like all the rain out there. It was a scrawny little tree with two branches and countable leaves, but it bore a fruit. My friend decided to make that tart in honor of the  lemon's existence, and we all agreed.

I also bought a novel named ''Lemon'', in which the protagonist <span style="color:#DBA19B;">fell</span> in love with a lemon, about which I told a guy I <span style="color:#DBA19B;">fell</span> for.


I wish I could say he sent me a basket of lemons or, perhaps, brought me a lemonade, but he broke my heart instead.

The old about page of the website quoted Pablo Neruda:
 
<span style="padding-left:60px; font-family:serif;font-style:italic;">which yellow bird fills its nest with lemons</span>?
 
When I learned Spanish years later, I would still repeat:
 
<span style="padding-left:60px; font-family:serif;font-style:italic;">el pájaro amarillo...el nido de limones...</span>
 
I don't feel the same about <span style="color:#A0C4E2;">lemons now</span>, but I keep the namesake. It reminds me of stories that I forget from time to time.</blockquote>
