My Final Tumblr Post
Hello everyone! Long time no see, am I right? Anyway, I am making this post because I have decided to retire from using Tumblr. I know this may seem like a surprise to those who still follow me, but let me explain myself.
When I first joined back in 2013, I thought it was the best website ever – my true loyal internet friends were using it, I made some new friends through here, I could reblog & post whatever I wanted to, & best of all I was free to be myself without any restrictions! It was true freedom to be myself!
But as time went on, life continued going forward & things began to change for the better (in most cases). I want things to continue getting better for myself & for others around me, so I only feel it’s time I continued elsewhere. Plus, there are a number of good reasons why I’m logging off of Tumblr. They are as follows:
Most of the blogs I follow, many of which include friends of mine, have stopped using Tumblr, & thus there’s less variety for me to reblog.
Scrolling through Tumblr causes my computer to slow down significantly, & thus it gets more & more frustrating to search for things to reblog.
I really don’t like some of the things they’ve (meaning @staff ) forced upon us, such as making me use the newer design as opposed to the classic blog design.
Other websites I use give me much more satisfaction for passing the time, such as DeviantArt, YouTube, & Instagram.
So yeah, I think those are some good reasons for me to retire from this site. But there are two more matters of business I need to take care of before logging off. Firstly, I’m going to leave my blog & my other blogs up in case people want to search through my archives & reblog things they like.
Second, & more importantly, I want to make it clear that I still wish to maintain many of the relationships I’ve formed here on this site. To my Tumblr friends, especially @tangle-of-ivy, @tbrig, & @pottercourt, I would still like to be friends with you guys if that’s alright. Let me know if you’d like that as well, & I’d be happy to work something out with you guys!
If you guys want to continue seeing what I’m up to, you can see my stuff & follow me on my Instagram, my DeviantArt, & occasionally my Twitter. I would strongly recommend my Instagram page out of all of them, personally. Until next time, I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of the day, & I wish all of you the best of luck in your dreams & future endeavors. Now, to end things with a very personal quote:
“Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.” – Danny Thomas
