goodbye tumblr
i want to start off this post by saying that i am perfectly fine, to put anybody who care’s mind at ease. i think that, in the past few months, i’ve done a lot of thinking. i think that i’ve really sort of fallen out of the phandom as i saw it become more about fetishizing a gay relationship than the people themselves. i needed dan and phil when i found them, and it was easy to fall in love with the fandom, but looking back i realize that this isn’t where i belong in this part of my life. i’ve made friends with the best people because of this phandom, and it will always hold a special place in my life, but i thought that enough was enough. i don’t dislike dan and phil, it’s just a phandom that i’ve chosen not to be apart of. i loved feeling like i was apart of something, logging on to read conspiracies and such, but things have been different, and i just didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye, but i’m moving on. i don’t have the time to get so wrapped up in the lives of two british men while i try to run my own. i want to say thank you to one of my first internet friends, sam, who i dont frequently talk to but love to pieces. you have my instagram, you know how to reach me, i really hope we can start talking more. this has really been a wonderful time, but some of the toxicity associated with the phandom along with just changing taste and priorities have driven me away, but i will never forget everything that dnp have given me, from friends to the confidence to start a youtube channel. i hope that whoever is reading this feels the same love that so many strangers in pastel icons have shown me, letting me into an exclusive little club where i always felt valued and accepted. i truly thank those who have been kind and welcoming towards me. i can say with confidence that this has been the most fun ive ever had. i love you all <33 and u hope youre safe. goodbye tumblr! goodbye phandom! goodbye!
