Hiatus, bye, whatever.

I figured it would only be fair for me to post this on here as well as my personal blog.

For the last couple months, or really the last year I’ve neglected the existence of my Tumblr. For anyone who also follows my personal blog, it’s been almost 6 months since I’ve posted anything personal or in depth.

I came to the conclusion, that I kind of really dislike Tumblr. There are so many people who sit in front of their computer screens and never see the light of day, because they’re so consumed in marveling memes, GIFs, borderline pornography, some other Tumblr celebrity or comparing themselves to an individual they find attractive, rather than living their lives.

I just want to live my life, not vicariously through the lives of others on the internet, but through personal interaction and experience. We live in a world where technology has taken over our lives, and contrary to belief, has made us worst. I’m not saying that these past few months without Tumblr has sent me on some enlightening experience comparable to the Dali Lama or Siddhattha Gotama but I am no longer a prisoner to my wastings of time. Life is too short, to waste any more time. I don’t want to write lists, make empty promises to myself, and leave any boxes unchecked.

When I first created my Tumblr account I was a sad and lonely girl, with too many emotions and nowhere to express them, Tumblr was my outlet. Tumblr was a place in which I could freely express myself, my feelings and share the details of my life without worry. But as I gained more followers, I feel as if I began to write for an audience. I became hesitant to press that “Create post” button, worried it wasn’t worthy or interesting enough. Why does it matter? I have nothing to prove to anyone. I also became hesitant to share some of my deepest thoughts and secrets as individuals who I knew in the real world, began to follow me.

Regardless, I’m forever thankful to all the friends I’ve made here on Tumblr and to all your unconditional love and support. I’m not saying that I’ll be gone from Tumblr forever, it just doesn’t spark my interest like it once did. If any of you ever want to stay in touch, do not hesitate to send me a message :)
