State of the Blog
Hey everyone! Hope all of my moots have been wonderful while I’ve been on a bit of a tumblr sabbatical. I had a bit of a crash out in mid February with going back to school and have only checked in occasionally since.
To be frank, tumblr just doesn’t serve me anymore. Although I’m grateful for all of the lifelong connections I’ve made on this app and this community, there just isn’t a space for this app and its purposes to me in my life right now.
For years, tumblr served as my primary doomscrolling app and a source of leisure but at this point in time, I just don’t have time or room in my life for that right now. I’m finishing up my first semester back at school (finishing up an A in my history class, someone please clap), I’ve found much more stable full time work, I have a songwriting partner moving closer to me soon, and I’ve found much more community and connection irl. Life often feels like a whirlwind, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and I feel so keen to have to live in the moment in the moment offline as opposed to the time I used to spend here. I’ve found community in a number of spaces where I live and I’m trying to cultivate the meaningful connections that come with that while also trying to maintain the ones that existed in my life prior.
That’s not to say I’m ungrateful or dismissive of what this space is and means to me. Some of my most favorite friends and longest standing connections are from here and I’ll always cherish those. I see tumblr and this blog as a bit of a garden though, and I just don’t have the marbles to tend to it and I feel as though a bit of transparency is necessary so nobody is hurt when it feels like I just disappear for a while.
This blog, one I’ve had for 12+ years now, will continue to exist and stay around, but for the most part I won’t be. The app stays deleted on my phone most of the time and I only check in occasionally. I love you all so much and I hope you all carry that same love in your hearts in everything you do, whether it be on here or wherever you carry yourselves.
It’s not “goodbye”, it’s only kind of a “see you later”, but really it’s more of a “just not right now”
Have fun and don’t die besties 🖤
