Dear Fellow Tumblers,
My name is Rena Le, and this is my good-bye message.
It has a been a long journey for me on Tumblr. I have met people who inspire me with their belletristic words and their motivational aspirations. Through Tumblr, I have seen the world at its best and at its worst.
This is not the end. When one door closes, another one opens. My life on Tumblr is coming to a close, but that life has given me a chance to get my foot into the door of the real world.
I have learned how to be compassionate not just to those who deserve so much more than what the world has given them but also to those who don't.
I have learned to stop trying to be the best darn gardener out there just so my side of grass is greener than the other side's.
I have learned that Californians should not, under any circumstance, complain about the weather.
I have learned that no matter how hard life can be for me right now it could be worse and that someone else in the world has it worse than me, so they should be the ones in my prayers and not my own, egotistical self.
I have learned that you should always think at a deep, analytical level no matter how trivial the topic is and that knowledge is the most powerful weapon anyone can possess.
I have learned that you don't have to like everyone but you do have to love them.
I am leaving Tumblr not as the girl who gave up but as the girl who journeyed through this rite of passage fruitfully and ambitiously striving to be the change I want to see in the world. No matter where I go, no matter what kind of fork in the road I will face, no matter how diverged the road may be, I will live without any regrets.
Carpe diem because life is more beautiful than eyesight, space, and liberty.
Ave Atque Vale,
Rena Le
I just watched the video of SHINee and EXO arriving at Gimpo airport, and I must say that fans really disappoint me sometimes. It's one thing to really like a group because they have amazing talent. It's another thing when you stalk them from airport to airport with your camera and invade their boundaries and privacy. Airports are meant for travelling, not inane stalking and violating other people's personal space. If you were the celebrity, would you want to constantly be followed and crowded around when you're doing something like leaving an airport or shopping at your favorite store? Unless you are narcissistic airhead who prioritizes matters that are truly trivial to the progression of the human race, I assume the answer is yes. Play nice, you guys. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
When I picture myself as an independent adult, I picture myself being in a serious relationship, but if my partner were to ask me if I wanted to get married I would have to say no. I don't know--I'm having very conflicting feelings right now. I know it's still a little too early to think about marriage right now for me--I'm still seventeen for pete's sake--but I don't think I want to get married. Wait, I think I do. But then I don't.
Okay...
I want a serious relationship with a guy, but I don't want to marry him. It's not that I think marriage will ruin us--even though that is a possibility because it ruins many people's relationships. I just don't want to be tied down yet. With marriage comes responsibilities. I want to enjoy life with someone who loves me unconditionally without the burden of marriage. I don't know if that's a very valid point, but that's how I feel right now. I want a serious relationship, but I don't want to get married. If I ever do want to get married, it will have to be with a guy who I have without a doubt fallen deeply in love with.
