It’s been four years
Since I’ve used this medium
I’ve changed and so has it
But seeing someone use it
Reminded me
Nothing wrong with retuning to what we once knew?
Everything was left untouched
Last post being December 18th
Bio showing the age i left
Not my age now.
Been dreaming of finding a space
A space like this one used to be
Could this be it again?
Anyway, is this thing on?
It’s sort of insane to look back and see how much has changed, from me to this site. I remember when I joined tumblr, I was 17 feeling really alone and out of place in the world and now I’m 22 soon to be 23 and I like to think I’m in a much better place then I was then. I remember all the fandom stuff I used to partake in, when I used to write fan fiction. To now where I don’t even write at all anymore, at least not fiction. I remember feeling a sense of community, and I don’t quite feel that way anymore. I don’t hate this site, I hate what it’s become and what it shall keep becoming. Granted I’m not one to post porn or anything… horribly explicit. But giving people the freedom to post content that is inherently sexual, was big. Seeing as we can’t do that much on any other site. But it’s less about the banning of said sexual content in almost any form, it’s more how they’ve some how swept other things under the rug. Sexual content is bad, but hate speech isn’t ? It leave one to question what the fucking is going on. Maybe it’s more of a sign of the world we live in ? A pair of tits and a dick is a lot worse then a nazi spewing their hate speech into the world right ? Now I have a lot more feelings about this site, not all bad, not all good. I learned a lot about myself, gotten to see myself grow. Got to meet my best friend, truly my other half in this wild world and it wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t join tumblr all those years ago, met other friends, even those I no longer speak to. Learned more about my sexuality and found strength in my queerness and as an artist. Even though my art never really took off here or my poetry, it was still another medium to try. I think it’s also worth talking about how my feelings about social media have changed. This year I took the time to cleanse, to detox from social media… and it was amazing, I still have a lot to learn about how to put my phone down. How all my weight in the world isn’t only placed in how many likes I can get… how to present in the moment, how to be a more kind and sincere person in the world and climate we live in. Cause believe me… sincerity, and kindness is what this world needs right now…. but I won’t ramble anymore. Should you wanna keep following me on other sites, be my guest ! It’s nice to see other people live their lives though different lenses so I definitely will follow others. But thank you to everyone on this site who was kind to me, thank you to everyone who gave me the strength to be myself and to be proud of that. To be a better artist from watching others grow and thrive. Thank you to this site for all the good times, and even the bad….
Thank you
✌🏽
