Okay, so this is kind of hard for me to discuss. I came to a realization that I am horrifically addicted to Tumblr to the point where itās affecting my personal life and my mental health. I feel an unnecessary and unwanted pressureānot from any of you, just to be clearāto post/write/reblog/what have you. To just be here, and when I realized I hadnāt posted anything in a while, I immediately jumped on to do so.
I hate this development. When I came back to tumblr a couple years ago it was not so it could take over my life. I was thinking this morning all Iād do with my dog tonight when I got home and scarily had the thought, āoh my god, what about my tumblr?ā Iām 27 years old. I should not feel this compelled by social media to post all the goddamn time and feel overwhelmed when I donāt have time to post.
Therefore, I at the very least wonāt be posting my works to Tumblr, and Iāll be taking a semi-hiatus to break away from my apparent addiction. Itās just an unneeded pressure I donāt need. I have a lot of plans this summer that Iād rather not have thwarted by this hellsite.
All of my works will be moved to my AO3, and Iāll update them over there as I have time to. For some reason Tumblr makes me feel an extra pressure to spit out updates. I think itās because I see all these amazing writers churning out works like no oneās business and I canāt keep up. Itās my own issue and this is the way Iām going to deal with it.
Iām over at AO3 under the same username, so you can catch me over there. Iāll be here on Tumblr very little while I try to distance myself but Iāll still be available to talk to.
This was an unexpected development and Iām sorry itās come to this but I have to do this for myself. I love all of you, hope to see you over at AO3! š¤
