I’ve decided that I’m going to take an indefinite break from Tumblr. I’ve realized how toxic this website is, and how much it’s takint a toll on my mental health. I’ve been feeling like I literally can’t trust men at all and one reason is due to the feminist side of Tumblr. It’s actually impacting my 2 year relationship with my bf because I’m constantly worried about what’s going to go wrong and am even creating stories in my head that he’s hurting me in some way, when in reality he treats me like a princess. I realize and recognize all the injustice that happens for women and that a lot of it is caused by men, but reading about it every time I log in isn’t helping the issue; it’s only causing me to become depressed and is harming my relationships. I can’t keep going through life feeling so defensive around men just because of all the stories I read on Tumblr about how absolutely no men can be trusted, and how horrible men are. I even started having suspicious thoughts about my dad who’s been nothing but wonderful to my mom and my family! In my core I don’t believe that men are these horrible creatures that some people make them out to be, I really belive they’re a blessing to this world. I believe most people are good, there are just a few bad eggs but most people, including men, have good intentions. Therefore I’m distancing myself from Tumblr and feminism. I really encourage anyone reading this to consider this for yourself and maybe get off of this website too. I’d actually recommend Pinterest, it’s all inspiring quotes and cute clothes and aesthetics. Basically Tumblr without all the toxic political stuff. So I’m switching to Pinterest and looking at cute pictures of animals the beach.
