I’m aware tumblr is supposedly “outdated” and that people say “it will never be like it’s prime”. But I honestly don’t care; I’m gonna start posting. Frankly, I have nothing to lose (and nothing else to do at the moment). Besides, nobody I know uses this or knows that tumblur even exists, so it couldn’t be a better situation for me.

I had heard that people were still using tumblr and how it was more community based and not influenced by algorithms, which is exactly what I need more than anything. As someone who isn’t naturally drawn to social media, I have now (in my own way) become accustomed to consuming it and allowing myself to be feed by the algorithm as a form of coping mechanisms; which is the thing I most dreaded happening.

Right now, in my life, I’m lost and I feel out place. I just turned 19 and moved to another country (approximately 3 weeks ago) that I’m not at all used to; you know, to “change my life for the better.” And instead, I find myself emotionally trapped/ confined to these new personal circumstances and my need to disassociate is at an all time high (my head practically lives in the moon at this point). Plus, I haven’t been able to artistically express myself for quite some time now and it’s driving me a little crazy.

So, I’m gonna use this opportunity to figure out how I can be artistic with just the use of my iPad; like reposting pictures that I like and make me feel good. I love pictures that make me feel euphoric with vibrant colors and textures. Lately, I’ve been getting into mix medium art as well (specifically mix medium animation). I’m also a musician so, once I can get my feet on the ground, I’ll maybe show a little bit of that side as well.

I don’t want to promise anything because I do have the tendency of “posting once and not posting until literally 2 months have already passed”. But I would like to try tumblr as more of an escape. Find my way and see if I can keep it up. I’d be ok if nobody sees this; in fact it would probably be better.
