Lola's Tea Party

"At the best of times, she feels like a character in a Muriel Spark novel - independent, bookish, sharp-minded, secretly romantic."

The panatone has really hit my finances hard. Looks like I’m gonna be spending a lot of time on Tumblr in my room for the rest of 2021, manifesting a well-paid acting job.

Are we allowed to talk about the fact that you are going to turn 30?

[lolasteaparty]

I was so grateful to her for speaking openly about this. I have always looked up to her so much, but as someone the same age and going through the same thing, it was such a comfort to know I wasn’t alone.

So he calls me up and he’s like, “I still love you.” And I’m like..“I just..I mean this exhausting, you know. Like we are never getting back together. Like ever.”

Still trying to come to terms with the fact I’ll never be a librarian who can speak a dead language and be recruited by a ruggish but handsome explorer for a quest to lift the curse and save the world

Hello, old friend.

I was home at my mum’s for the Easter weekend, and decided to log onto Tumblr to distract myself from the despair of my life. It’s been ten whole years since I first set up my Tumblr and poured my 20 year old heart out on it. I look back at the posts from 2011-2014 and all I can remember is how happy and carefree I was. I miss those days.

Now, I am 30 years old. And I feel very lost. I have had some small successes over the last few years - I finally moved out into a shared flat in Streatham, and I passed my driving test although I still can’t afford a car. But I am trying to figure out what I want from my life, or to narrow it down, the next ten years. 

So I’ve decided, to come back. There’s something so cathartic about pouring your heart out online, and this feels like a safe place to do so, as no one really knows about my Tumblr. Those who did/do follow me that I know personally, don’t seem to use it anymore. I myself have been absent from Tumblr for long time. Until now.

450 followers, are you still out there? I hope you’re ready to listen. Because I’m ready to share. If not, I’m equally happy to blog into the void.

Didn’t your father ever tell you that? Didn’t he?

Love says, ‘I love you.’ I love you if you’re in China. I love you if you’re cross town. I love you if you’re in Harlem. I love you! I would like to be near you. I’d like to have your arms around me. I’d like to hear your voice in my ear. But, that’s not possible now so—I love you. Go.
