Tiktok is disappearing, and we need a new IT girl of social media
Honestly, I am ready for the Tumblr resurrection, like, the internet's version of a midlife crisis. 🧓 The glory days of 2012-2016 were when I was a legend- posting absolutely incoherent text posts about crying over fictional characters and pretending I was deep when really I was just a 16-year-old who didn't know what a "healthy coping mechanism" was. But I THRIVED. 🌻
We were all just 12% self- aware, 88% posting to escape reality, and that was the vibe. When you could write an existential rant about a TV show and get a thousand notes, and now I'm out here getting zero likes on my grocery list. Let's be real: I was very much NOT, ok, but on Tumblr? I was flawless. I was UNSTOPPABLE. ✨
Bring back the days when your Tumblr theme was a work of art, and your sidebar GIF was a subtle form of self-expression that definitely didn't say, "Help, I need attention." (or maybe it did, who's to say?) I truly was a graphic designer, comp sci WIZARD- learning code just so my tumblr could match my true aesthetic.
If you were on Tumblr back then, you know what I'm talking about: endless reblogs of emo quotes, #justgirlythings, random memes, and having deep conversations with strangers about how the world was ending because of ONE. SINGLE. TWEET. (I miss my internet stranger friends...ahhh).
So I'm here for the resurgence. I may be older, but some things never change. So with Tiktok being banned its the tumblr girls, gays, and theys time to shine!!! LETS BRING BACK SOMETHING PURE, CHAOTIC, and a little bit cursed? It's time.
