goodbye for now
i've decided to take the rest of the year to drastically change my relationship with technology and the internet. it's one area of my life i am really unhappy with and it holds me back in a lot of ways. it has for my entire adult life, and before that throughout my adolescence. it's been a huge coping mechanism for me over the past couple of years in particular while i've been going through major upheaval, but i'm in a place now where i'm happy and stable and feel like i have the space emotionally to find other ways to soothe myself when things are hard.
i'm extremely grateful for all of the care and support i've been shown on here as i've gone through a really difficult period in my life. it's special that there are women my age and older on here who offer their wisdom so freely. i've been given really good constructive advice that has tangibly improved my life and brought me comfort in desperate times. i appreciate it deeply.
tumblr is the one website out of the websites i use unhealthily that often has a positive effect on my life. i hope i can return to it in a healthy way in the future. i also want to write some things during this period of abstention that i'd like to share on here when i finish them, so hopefully i'll be back. until then i have a burner email if you want to get in touch and don't have my main email: [email protected] (especially if you want to hang out irl!)
thank you all <3
