Freshen up the design and style every so often 💋 modernize that intro post. Don't have one. Make one. Learn how to make super cute dividers on Canva (took me two hours lmao). Bask in the niche digital esotericism. Brought to you by someone who literally started this at 5 in the morning and kept on going lol!!

Much like this wonderful platform, tumblr.com is where I go to get my fix of ~old internet~ ; reminiscent of the time before everything we did online was oversaturated with branding and optics.
I’ve had my blog since 2012 and have maintained it closely since. It continues to be my one true digital sanctuary :)

can we bring back this form of media that has some sort of substance to it?!
i was too young for the millennial blogspot boom and too old to gaf about insta so tumblr was my destined platform (long rip). but i want to experience the blogspot type of thing i missed out on and having the ability to write and actually make my own stuff, not just reblog aesthetic shit. i can go to pinterest for that.
im gonna start one even if no one reads it. i’ll link it i guess.
here’s the link (i can’t change the website link in my profile T.T)
a-space-for-me.com

Don't act immediately upon the desire to do something life altering like chopping off our hair, getting bangs, or a tattoo, or faking your death!
Wait 30 days. Is the temptation still there? If no, then you've saved yourself some trouble. If yes, the obviously it's a Canon event and you have to 🤷🏾♀️

Idk if you mean hatred of your like material conditions or hatred of yourself but both were mixed together for me.
I had no idea I hated my life so much until I had to sit back last year and realize a lot of the dumb decisions I made that ruined my life as I knew it were . . . More rooted in hatred than I realized. I mean, yeah economic factors and capitalist bullshit was also a major factor but boy I could have avoided a quarter of the pain I endured if I'd just not hated myself so fucking bad.
So there I was, moved back into my childhood home with my sorta toxic family, no job, no prospects on the horizon. Everything I told myself I'd end up being because I fulfilled my own prophecy in an attempt to be someone I didn't even think I deserved to be. And I couldn't change the economy, and I couldn't change the past. But I could change me. I could appreciate what I still had left after spiraling, and appreciate the chance to grow again in the future. Started a Substack, got a hobby, learned to enjoy reading books again, etc.
So it's gonna take a lot of unflinching introspection, maybe Journaling if you're into that, and learning what your bad coping methods are so you can slowly change it . . . But it can be done. You just gotta change one little habit st a time. And it might take longer than you want, but it'll feel better when you do.

Even just once in your life. You got a Fandom you absolutely adore, it keeps you going and fills your life with something positive and meaningful? Give writing for it a try! Even just a 500 word dribble you plop on to Tumblr and never touch again. It's quite nice.
