<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. I first built it to learn the specifics about the web, but it has since morphed into a living archive of my life. The domain name was once goodlemons.com. 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:#8BA560">moss</span>-covered trees and <span style="color:#8BAF5B">tree</span>-lined streets. 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 said yay.

I also bought a novel named ''Lemon'', in which the protagonist <span style="color:#DBA19B;">fell</span> in love with a lemon. Around the same time I <span style="color:#DBA19B;">fell</span> for, less imaginatively, a guy. Nevertheless, I told him about the book. 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:
</div>
 
<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>
