I wanna clear up some shit

I haven't been on this Tumblr in ages. I haven’t used Tumblr in ages. So I wanted to clear up some shit. 

I’ve been through a lot of shit in the past year and I think I’m at a point in my life where I understand myself, who I am and what I believe. 

Last year I was in an unhappy relationship, hadn’t received any offers from any of the universities that I wanted to attend, generally didn't know what I wanted to study at uni, and felt like I didn’t know who my friends were. I had a messy break up at the beginning of the year and I was generally miserable for a while. 

Now I’m in a healthy and loving relationship, I know what I want to do with my life and I know who my friends are. So I decided its time to clear some things up while I also sign off from Tumblr. 

I’m not non-binary. I’m cis. I’m a cis pan female. I’m still sure that I’m pan, but last year for some reason I was obsessed with convincing myself of things that weren’t true. I convinced myself that I was happy in my relationship, I convinced myself that I was non-binary and I convinced myself that I believed in God/religion for a time. Since talking to some of my trans friends, I realised that I’m not non-binary. I truly believe that to be trans (and that includes non-binary, gender fluid etc) you have to experience dysphoria. This is what I’ve garnered from the scientific studies done and what I’ve spoken about with my trans friends. I guess this means I’m ‘truscum’.

The second thing is that I don’t believe in God. I don’t know if God exists, so I just assume that he doesn't, for the sake of my own morals/peace of mind. I’m not a Buddhist either; of course I like the focus on the mind and the rejection of gods, but I don’t believe that I can make any positive claims about the afterlife. So I’m an atheist. 

That’s all, folks. There is some other personal shit that I figured out but I’m keeping that to myself and my friends. I might make a post around January letting those of you who still read my blog know about whether I’ve got into my first choice university, but apart from that you can consider this blog done. Thank you to all the people that included me in their promos, networks, those of you who I feel I became friends with. Tumblr at one point was a big part of my identity, but sadly not anymore. 

Thanks for listening,

Hi its been a long while since I’ve been on here so I thought I’d give you an update!

a. I probably won’t be on here much or very responsive to messages, I have my A-Level exams in 3 weeks and they’re suuuuuper important I’ll tell you for why in the next bit

b. I got rejected from my top three unis so I’m taking a year out and living in a Buddhist monastery for a couple of months. I’m re-applying to Oxford for Philosophy and Theology which I enjoy way more than PPE anyway and I think I should have applied for that in the first place. Aiming for A*A*A in my A-Levels so I have a good chance of getting in!

c. I have a boyfriend! He’s absolutely lovely and he’s gorgeous and such a gentleman and he’s already got an offer from Oxford, so hopefully I’ll be able to join him next academic year!

I think that’s about it? You’ll probably see me ranting a lot about A-Levels, theology (especially Luther) and uni in the next year or so.

If you want to reach me more quickly online my Instagram and twitter are both @/jacksontara_

Coming back yo

Yo I haven’t posted on here in a while so I thought id write a little ‘coming back’ post lmao. I think I just always get into Tumblr again around Winter idk what it is

a) I got rejected from Oxford pre-interview, probably cos the essay I wrote in the admissions test was so bad lol and also my personal statement only mentioned two really conventional philosophy books so…. awks. I’m hoping to go to Durham or St. Andrews for uni and then applying to study for a masters at Oxford so yeah there’s that

b) school is wild right now lmao A-Levels are sick (I actually really enjoy my A-Levels I’m kidding but it’s a lot of work)

c) fuck trump
