To preserve my identity and keep it from being influenced by guilt and shame, I only edit this website in the evening, when a pre-derealization hits. This is the only way I can keep it true without fear of being misunderstood and judged by vague authority figures.
Every time I do it, I overcome the fear of appearing unhirable, inappropriate and cringeworthy. Yet, this website is an accurate representation of my true self. I try to keep it this way, and I don't want advertisers to rule my life.
