My lovely followers,
Since it’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog with any sort of regularity, I wanted to explain the situation and give a temporary goodbye of sorts.
Essentially, I’ve decided to temporarily abandon my Tumblr account for two reasons:
First, I’m struggling with Internet addiction badly. It’s not really a joke anymore; it’s a serious problem that’s ruining my life. I’m jobless and living with my parents because of it. So at a certain point, enough is enough: it doesn’t matter if I’m going to disappoint my followers, or get out-of-the-loop on what’s going on in the Supernatural fandom, or whatever other excuse I could make. Just like how an alcoholic needs to never touch alcohol, I need to never touch the Internet -- at least for now. So obviously, no Tumblr for me.
The second, less serious reason is that I’m not watching Supernatural anymore. Those of you who know me well might have noticed that for the past few seasons, I’ve had trouble enjoying the episodes. Well, it’s finally gotten to the point where I have no desire to watch the series anymore. What’s the point if all I want to do is criticize it? So that’s that. I’ll still treasure the first five seasons in my heart, but as long as I’m not watching Supernatural, there’s really no content to update my Supernatural-centric blog with.
So with that said, I’ll be abandoning this blog for an indefinite amount of time. Thanks for your understanding.
And if I could end with just one thing, I would like to say this: please take Internet addiction seriously. If you’re struggling with Internet addiction, be serious about doing whatever it takes to be free from it, even if that’s as drastic as selling your smartphone and your computer. If you know someone with Internet addiction, don’t make light of it; take it as seriously as you would alcoholism or some other addictive disorder. Having Internet addiction, I’ve seen that it’s not often treated with the seriousness it deserves. Often, it’s like suffering in silence. And it shouldn’t be.
