Well. It’s been a while, hasn’t it? To be honest, I haven’t been active here for a very, very long time. There was a queue of posts, but that ran out a month ago. I’m not even certain if there’s anyone still actively following me, but this message is for you.
I came back to say that I’m probably not going to return to tumblr.
I am very tired of this place. I’m tired of the toxic community. I’m tired of the negativity. This place isn’t good for my mental health, and that’s not even going into the technical problems with how the website runs. I regret introducing some friends to this website because I think it’s actually negatively influenced their behaviour.
I have some good memories of this place. I met some cool people here. A lot of the text posts here are actually still funny! But none of that is enough to make me want to stay here when I feel increasingly disillusioned, and honestly disgusted by the behaviours I have witnessed on this website.
Even if I wasn’t so tired of the people, this place is such a huge time sink that it’s not practical for me to spend my time here. It wasn’t practical when I was a student struggling to complete animations, and it’s not practical now that I have a job taking up my time and energy.
To the friends that know me IRL, you can contact me through LINE or FB messenger, like normal. For anyone else who wishes to still follow me can do so on the following:
Facebook: The Art of Belle Mage
Instagram (Personal): bellemage
Instagram (Art): artofbellemage
Maybe one day I’ll come back, but it’s unlikely. I’ll still keep this blog here because I’m not ready to completely let go. There are too many memories for me to delete them so easily.
I’m sorry to part ways like this. Maybe one day our paths will cross again.
