Hi yall,
I’ve been lurking for a while, and it’s so fun to see the ones of you who are still active transfer through new fandoms and my dash is just a beutiful mess of current passions of people who once had common passions
So... how have you been?
I got into my dream school, and I graduated. I got a job I’ve been dreaming about for years. I started reading again. I found new friends, and kept some of the old ones. I reconnected with my creative side. I won nanowrimo, three times with two different projects. I’m okay with a lot of things today that I wasn’t at the time. I no longer regularly eat fries for breakfast because it’s the only thing I can stomach. I still haven’t fixed my sleep schedule though...
Sometimes, I’ll just go down a rabbit hole, scrolling through my blog and smiling at all of it. With some sort of nostalgic melancholy. When I look back at those posts, and those years, I see that girl I used to be (side note but... I was so young. I regularly see 14/15 year old and I just want to hug them, and myself at that age, because it’s so difficult), so lonely and longing for someone and somewhere to belong. And yall brought me that, and, honestly, the community we built on tumblr is one of the few reasons I don’t feel, looking back, that those years were only darkness.
I don’t know where I’m going from here, because I do miss tumblr, it’s still my go-to for fandom content. But I don’t wanna change my url because I’m very attached to it, but I won’t be posting that much HP content because in this house we do not support terfs and the whole thing leaves kind of a bad taste in my mouth at present. So maybe I’ll make a new blog eventually? For now, this is just a shout-out to you from my nostalgic brain
Tagging some people that always come to mind, if this seems like i stalked you a tiny bit that might be because I did... a lot of archives and discord chats have been searched (and if you’re not here because I couldn’t find you but you still see this, I love you too, and if you’re like ‘who tf is’, I’m sorry, go on with your life)
