I’m not sure who’s around anymore. I think at a certain point, other things happen in our lives, and we forget about tumblr. Some of us could still make it a consistent part of our lives. Others, we eventually lose interest and abandon it. I’m with the latter group.
I basically started this blog the summer going into my senior year of high school, so 2014. I was posting a lot, both reblogging and creating gifs, for the first 1-2 years, then I started college. I still made gifs once in a while, even uploaded to a different blog. However, while I was focused on my studies, a lot of members that I did like in 48g started leaving, and I actually haven’t listened to a new single since Love Trip. I don’t know the state of the band at the moment, and you probably have noticed the latest posts on this blog deals with graduated members. My interests have moved on from 48g to other pursuits, such as creating my own novel (just some drama shit), playing video games, drawing, skateboarding, reading boring nonfiction books, and I guess, dating.
There are still videos in my to-be-gifed folder, and they’re all Million Yen Women stuff. I honestly just don’t have the time or motivation to finish it, but hopefully I’ll finish what I started, someday. But most likely not in the immediate future.
I just wanted to give an explanation.
I wish all you all the best of luck in your future. And maybe reflect on how 48g has helped you with your life. Even though I don’t follow them anymore, I am grateful they’ve helped me through some hard times. They’ve even allowed me to meet new friends and maybe shaped a part of my character, somehow. Even though you might cringe back at past interests, as long as it provided you joy at the time, look at it that way instead. It was positive for you.
^ so the above has sat in my drafts folder for the longest time, and I recently had to log into Tumblr after five years to access some blog for a drama I wanted to watch. Can’t believe it’s been eleven years now ? I recently interviewed for Quinnipiac’s medical school, and I am really hoping I get in. All I could really think about is the first time I heard of the school through the sweatshirt Sasshi wore in Kibuteki Refrain. It’d be lovely to go full circle.
Anyways, I’m not coming back, I’m not reviving the blod, but I’m getting rid of this from my drafts folder and providing closure <3 See you all on the other side.
