So… it’s 2025, and I haven’t actively used tumblr since 2016. It’ll be 10 years next year. I’m already 30! (TwT) and it feels like life is passing by too fast.
I’ve had quite the life here on tumblr, most notably as a RP’er. This is the place where I found my best friends, and I’m happy to report they’re still my best friends! I don’t know who I would’ve been without tumblr honestly, it was such a huge part of my teen years. I was a whole different person back then, and I sometimes wonder if I was a better person back then too? I’m not sure, maybe I just grew up and changed. But that’s a sad thought too, because really, who wants to grow up??
Its not all bad though, but scrolling through my personal blog and rp blogs I’m feeling really nostalgic right now, wishing I was 19 again and just having the best time of my life. Tumblr has changed a lot too. Before, it was all memes, moustaches, cats, glasses without glass in them, space themes.. now it seems more grown up, gray, empty of the fun stuff.
Life used to be good. The world seemed better too.. more chill. It’s crazy though, that some of the trends 10 years ago are making a comeback now. Makes my back hurt just thinking about it (hehe). It’s crazy how fast time went on. Sometimes I wish time stood still in 2016. I truly believe that it was the last good year like ever?
I’m turning older and are hit with these nostalgic memories from what I thought of as my prime. But honestly, I like the person I’ve grown into as well. I’m not so scared anymore. I guess that’s something that comes with age. Confidence in who I am.
I would love to go back in time to live through those past years all over again. I had so many good friends on here, and we had fun almost every day rp’ing. This blog and my rp blogs are like a time capsule of those times, which is why I don’t think I’ll ever be able to delete them. Coming back and re-reading gives me a good feeling. Okay maybe some of it is cringey, but I had fun. And that’s what’s important right? I really had the best time on here.
