Goodbye
So this is my goodbye. I've been on tumblr since 2010 and its been a fun run. I was a freshmen in high school when I started my blog but now I'm a sophomore in college. I feel like tumblr is apart of my childhood that I feel like I need to let go. In recent years it hasn't been as fun as it use to be, but I was blogging to keep up content for my followers. Not only that but my blog didn't really reflect who I am. At one point I was obsessed with everything kawaii but there was always a darker side to me. Of course I love cute and frilly things but I feel like I wasn't about to post about things I truly liked or even listened to. Occasionally I would but I would notice a huge drop in followers. With that I would delete the post and go back to my normal content. In a way I felt like I was being something I wasn't for so long online. I started feeling more and more like this my senior year of high school but kept this charade for 2 more years. It's hard for me to let go since this was a big part of my life but I feel like in a way it's holding me back. I'm an adult and I knew at some point in my life this would happen but I always was scared of it. Now, I'm not afraid. To be honest, I'm happy with my decision.
Not only that but I feel like tumblr has lost its touch, its sparkle it use to have. I've noticed more and more that time has pasted the culture of tumblr has changed dramatically. This is another reason why I'm leaving. Tumblr use to be a place where you could say what you want and maybe get a disagreement here or there, it wasn't anything crazy. Now, if you say anything remotely wrong in someone else's eyes you're going to get shit from every corner of this website. In recent years these "keyboard warriors" or "internet warriors" or even people who just want to find something to argue about. I've unfollowed so many people because of this. I'm not about having all this pointless drama on my dash. I created my tumblr to escape drama, not to find more. I'm done sitting around seeing so many people get a high off of being a jackass.
So this is my goodbye. I met some really awesome people, had a lot of fun being in different fandoms, seen tumblr evolve for good and bad, and now it's my time to close this chapter in my life.
I'm going to leave you with the most emo quote known to man...
So long, and Goodnight
