So after a weird strange series of events, I really crave to be on tumblr. I’m turning 24 next month. I think my mom made me delete my first blog because she found a swear word on my phone but like what I’ve been on this app since 6th grade? Like 2012/2013 or so. Anyways it’s a decade and I’m back because well, it’s been a really awful year for me.
I didn’t finish my student teaching and was supposed to be teaching in North Carolina this fall. Since that didn’t happen things have been on pause since may and have to do the whole semester over again this spring. Worked at a museum, moved in with my boyfriend, am an over educated and over qualified sub in Houston. he’s applying for grad school, my teaching residency makes me stuck in North Carolina and his schools are on the west coast… teaching has unsurfaced how poor my executive functioning skills are and how uh anxious I am. I’m just low in self esteem because well, I’m not making much progress in anything
Anyways I’m spilling my beans because that’s what I did on my blog my senior year of high school about every gush and hormonal turn. Reading it is so fun I wish I had documented college as much as I did. And it’s also the best way for me to express myself. I started to journal again but sometimes I just wish someone could hear this.
Anyways the more immediate reason why Im back because I finally watched heartstopper -which truth be told I am far less gay that I was 10 years ago but I finally caved in and absolutely demolished the series, the tv show, (gosh I caved into the novelas too, I’m so desperate). I’m so nostalgic for tumblr and the feelings of being 15-18 being so hopefully and romantic and all that jazz. Honestly even just the honeymoon phase of any relationship, it’s really sweet to see that on screen.I miss reading for the thrill and the fandom and the obsession. I just want to fangirl. I miss that as a time I missed media, I haven’t enjoyed the internet as much as I did then because well, it was the discourse I was there fire. Also since graduating undergrad there’s just a lot less queer people in my life - what I get for moving to North Carolina I guess I also have less people to talk to.
Anyways I’m sleepy and over expressed myself. Who will see this , who knows .
