idk if anyone that follows this blog is still active but I just logged in for the first time in about a year and a half. I cannot believe how much I have changed since the time when I used this blog regularly. I was so depressed and used tumblr as an escape since I had no real friends and felt like I had no purpose in life.
If you’re reading this and you’re a teen on this site know that there is so much to live for. Go outside. Step out of your comfort zone and make some irl friends. It is so so worth it I promise. I know this isn’t the advice you want to hear because I heard it so many times at 15/16 and I ignored it but once I did start meeting new people,, wow. I didn’t even realize how horrible my mental state was until things changed. One big change I made when I was leaving tumblr was start focusing more on school. I had thought I was stupid and it was impossible for me to get A’s but once I actually put in the effort I realized that I had been holding myself back. So to all my middle school and high school followers: school is important. Get off of tumblr and go study rn 🔫😡 Follow some studyblrs. Romanticize your life a little.
The last time I used this blog I was 16 and I’m now turning 19 in a few days. I’m a college student now at a fairly highly ranked university with a good group of friends and a girlfriend. If 16 year old me could see me now I she would probably hate me for being “basic” and going to a big university. Little would she know I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and am so so glad I’ve made it this far. There’s nothing wrong with doing “basic” things or trying in school or god forbid listen to pop music. There’s nothing cool or edgy about being depressed.
Thank u for reading my little thing :-)
