I don't want to call this a goodbye message. "Goodbye" seems too final and permanent. But this is a message that wants to say that I'm taking a break. A LONG break. A break so long that I'm not sure if I'm coming back.
I had been on a hiatus for a couple weeks now to avoid post-election drama. And in that time, I've felt....good. Better than I've felt in years. I'm calmer, I'm happier, I'm more extroverted, and things that would've have normally made me rage quit and sulk barely phase me that much.
I finally see now. This site really is a cesspool. Ever since I've joined, I've felt nothing but anxiety, anger, hopelessness, and general negative feelings. The brief moments of joy I felt whenever I made a new mutual or saw a post I really liked aren't enough to make it worth it anymore. Now I know that that's no way to live.
So I'm staying off Tumblr...mostly. To the ones who've I befriended on here (you know who you are), I don't want to cut ties completely. So an occasional DM is still welcome. But otherwise, I'm deleting the app. And I'm logging off my account.
To all of you who stuck by me and followed my blog for so long, thank you. Thank you for being a part of my Tumblr experience.
