#graduating

(process pics vvv)

So let me offer some words of reassurance:

Growing up is great. I know it's scary and sometimes it sucks, but big picture, I genuinely think growing up is great.

(I say this as someone who had a p Not Fun Time when I was younger, so btw, that's both my bias and also proof that you do NOT have to have had a good childhood/adolescence to enjoy growing up.)

Leaving middle school? Fantastic. One of the greatest blessings of life is no longer being in middle school. At least 95% of adults will agree with me on this. (translation: ages 11-14 in the US)

Leaving high school? A bigger jump, and adulthood has a lot of stuff to figure out, but honestly really nice! The vast majority of adults would also agree with me that "No longer being in high school" is one of the great blessings of life! You just get so much more autonomy, potentially in not having to go to school/do homework and/or just as a newly legal adult. Also, most jobs are both easier and more bullshit than high school, and college is at least way less strict/gives you so much more autonomy/treats you like an adult (translation: ages 14-18 in the US)

(And because I know some of you are like me and definitely wondering: No, you do not have to ask to go to the bathroom or to leave the class in college, and yes, it is glorious.)

Leaving college? A good thing! Next stage in your journey! Yeah, if your college experience didn't suck, you probably have some things you're really gonna be sad to lose, but that's not inherently a bad thing! And if your college experience did suck, then the prize is no longer being in college! And whatever the case, just like for high school, I promise that the vast majority of jobs are both easier and more bs than being in school (translation: tertiary education, ages = adult, yes this explicitly includes community college and trade school)

1. graduating

2. the time go fishing scene in phm

So to do that, I'm taking a break for social media. I spent far too much time online (mainly Tumblr and YouTube), and as much as absolutely love the communities I'm apart of here online, I need to accept that I need to focus on other things and come back after I've gotten through all this. When I have more time.

So I'll be off Tumblr for the next while, till about mid June most likely (give or take). All four of my blogs will be inactive with the exception of @bingofromthehip

I will still be making/providing bingo cards, for those who request for both the main event and the pride event (likely with a slightly longer wait time, focus on the pride event as it's a limited time thing) but I won't be rebloging any works until I return.

So uh starting in like 24 hours from now (I'll post something when I'm actually logging off), if you see me doing anything on here that isn't sending people bingo cards, this is blanket permission for anyone and everyone to yell at me!!!

People I interact with at least somewhat often just so y'all know I'm not ignoring you or something; @threepigeonsinasuitcase @jacksepticeye-simp @chaos-ducks @therainatdawn @applepixls @mrecury42 @attheendhello @rottenflesheatmelon @long-form-contentment @ivystarflower

There are definitely more people & moots I'm forgetting sorry you're all great my memory just sucks <\3
