Tag Game: Your Favorite Blogs' Favorite Blogs

Tag your favorite blogs to get to know who their favorites are!

Favorite Writers/Poets:

Favorite Photographers:

Favorite Aesthetic (their blog's vibe; what they reblog):

Other Favorites (others that don't fit any category):

I've been loving the tag games and I wanted to make one. For this one, tell us who you love to see on your dashboard and it's just to show a little appreciation for them. (I just realized some of these categories overlap because some people are just so talented. You can add them to all necessary categories or just one and it's understood that they could also fit other categories. Aaaand I found out you can tag only 50 people so I tried to limit my answers to only 50 but you can add more too if you like.)

My answers (in no particular order):

I didn’t need you. I never needed you.

I wanted you.

I wanted to carve a corner of my world and name it after you.

I wanted to be more than a footnote in the epic you were saving for someone else.

I offered you a home in my ribs.

You’ll never know how bright the sunlight looks when it pours through us.
