 <h2>basically the "hidden" vent section ive seen the webtracker nobody looks at this page</h2>

+	<p>Did you know that often, "deleting" something<br>
+	on a computer doesn't actually delete it? All it does<br>
+	is remove the entry on the disk telling the computer<br>
+	"hey, there's data here", and that its free to overwrite<br>
+	from a technical standpoint its more efficient, obviously<br>
+	why waste time zeroing out a section when it'll be overwritten<br>
+	with data anyways?<br>
+	i feel like theres some symbolic meaning there, though...<br>
+	like, data (experience) is meaningless without direction..<br>
+	or like how neglecting a part of you will cause it to become<br>
+	more repressed and stuff...like me...<br>
+	theres something there, ok?
