#liking stuff

[skylerchasesbooks]

It's so interesting how the things or people we dislike at one point of time can become our favorite or vice-versa. It's like

U didn't like a certain book 2 years ago and now it's ur favorite or u liked a song that was the hype 10 years ago.

People change and with the experiences we amass, our choices and affinities do too.

I’ve liked 1,000 tings! Hahaha. As Tumblr told me:  “Looks like you're starting to get the hang of liking stuff. This is good news for your overall happiness in life.”  Guess I’m done being a bitter old bat, then?! ... on a serious note: The Witcher brought me back here, and yes, he/Geralt of Rivia/Henry Cavill, the Netflix show and this newfound fandom has been incredibly good news for my overall happiness in life! Albeit it being rather intoxicating, addictive and borderline destructive in other parts of my life... THANK YOU ALL <3 <3 It feels like I’ve found my people <3

That feeling when you show admiration for people you follow, but are too scared to say anything to, by liking their stuff..

So here’s the thing.

You like things that are overrated.

Me? I love the Beatles. Yes, I know they’re probably the most overrated band of all time but like---I love the Beatles. My dad introduced them to me and their music got me through a really rough time in middle school. To this day, I still love their music.

No one is saying you can’t like something that is overrated just admit that it’s overrated and that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

(And yes, I’m aware John Lennon was a huge asshole so you don’t have to at me.)

I'm not a spammer.

So I was just reading online about what to do about tumblr spam blogs and read something that made me worry about how I might be seen as a tumblr user.

The site said that a possible indication of a spam account following you is a long line on likes, like 10+ on your blog. I had to pause because OOPS. If I find a blog who's art/writing I like, I kind of just keep scrolling down and liking. I often hit the bottom of the blog. And I've worried about it before: Oh jeez, what is this person going to think when they get this long line of notifications that I followed and liked 90% of their blog? Does tumblr etiquette follow instagram post etiquette (don't like anything old or it comes off as creepy?)? Am I not allowed to like so many things for fear that I might come across as a spam blog or some weird tumblr stalker? I know that artists and authors and such enjoy that their work is being appreciated, but I still feel... guilty, I guess?

Does anyone else do this? Can I get some input?

Side note: how do I get rid of these stupid spam blogs following me? I block them but more just come back. :p
