Why did you disappear?
Uh⌠wellâŚ
CW: Long Post
I guess the main reason were my parents. They sort of blocked every avenue to push my stuff online. I was a minor back then so I get their intention in that regard, but it was more of a⌠control thing. And it sucked. I had no way to connect back to my friends and a lot of my trust in people on the internet were shattered because of that. I guess that was more favorable than⌠being in actual danger, but it still made me lose a lot of my creative spark and engagement with art in general. With college (crazy how time flies) and life nowadays, itâs harder to connect with the good parts of the internet. Tumblr was an amazing space, and I met so many cool people by just being a little anon on the internet. So, why did I write this? I feel like this has been a chapter Iâve closed but never really said on the internet until now. And⌠now I did. It feels surreal. All my energy to try and re-enter Tumblr anonymously has faded, and I donât think I can really try again. I use social media as a way to connect with people I know in-person now, so mentally it seems like two very different spaces. And also, I donât really do art as I used to - I just draw what I feel like whenever instead of concentrating it into a fandom. I loved my blog, but MAN did I box myself into Sanders Sides and only make art on that. I donât think I have the energy to do asks or anything anymore (unless you want quick doodles, thatâs fine).
Iâm realizing this post just makes it seem like Iâm complaining about age LOL, but itâs true that time does change you. I did make an art post for old timeâs sake on my main blog if youâd like to see it! Thatâll probably be my final post (until Meta destroys Instagram and I have no desire to use social media the way I do now). These blogs arenât getting deleted, though - I consider these as artifacts of memory for me to look back on and maybe engage once in a while with.
Tumblr was such a pivotal moment of my life, and Iâll miss you all. I peeked at my old platonic wivesâs blogs (@thecrowinacrown and @tastic-in-its-finest), and Iâm so proud of you both :) (no idea if youâre going to see this post LOL)
Take it easy, guys, gals, and non-binary pals :) Itâs time for this kitchen utensil to head out of the cupboard, officially :) Farewell :D
Peace out,
Yuki :)
