Itās Time to Say Goodbye
For eight years, Iāve been an active member of various roleplay communities on tumblr, where I worked on my writing and where my love for graphic design really picked up.
As of today, I am leaving tumblr, indefinitely.
This decision wasnāt easy nor was it made overnight but... I came to ease with it earlier today. I was just sitting there, thinking about how unhappy Iāve been with feeling like an outsider that feels like no one wants around, which sucks.
I loved my time here before, but I also started to resent how much time I spent here. It felt more like a chore than a hobby. A hobby is supposed to give you something to do and with my frequent job search as well as my passion for creating stories worth yelling picking back up, I made a choice to let tumblr go. I owe it to myself to leave so I can succeed in the fields I want to go into.
Back in January, I celebrated my twenty fourth birthday. That means from the time I was sixteen to the time I was twenty four, I spent my time on this website. And I think Iām just tired. Thereās a ton of drama that I just donāt think I have the energy for anymore.
But first, before I go, I do want to address a couple of people.
To the people I met through this website who I consider my friends, I love you so much. Your strength and your compassion as well as your writing is what inspired me to push forward. Itās how I met in person three of my closest friends. I couldnāt be more thankful that we got to experience this together and that a lifetime of memories has been made. I hope we stay in touch.
For my new friends and for those who are doubting themselves, please stay in touch. I value you as a person and you are worth more than you think. Do not allow this website to tear down your self esteem like it did mine. Donāt allow yourself to fall victim to people. Period. Youāre stronger than you think.
To my former friends, to those who wanted to part ways: should you find your way onto this blog, just know that even if we donāt talk anymore, I want you to know that youāre a good person and you deserve the world and more. I wish we couldāve reconciled but I understand. I also understand that Iām a brat, Iām not just passive but also aggressive. Iām sorry if I tampered with your experience and I wish nothing but the best for you.
Iām leaving my blogs open for a while but eventually, Iāll come to collect the urls and hoard them on a blog.
The steps Iām taking are scary and Iām basically stepping into the unknown. I donāt know if Iāll be back. But. I would like to invite you to follow my Instagram and Twitter, add me on Snapchat and Facebook, to keep the conversation open.
Iām, in a way, retiring this website and hobby to follow my career. Effective now.
So, goodbye. Please take care of each other and stay kind.
