an odd attempt…
at creating a 2011 style blog. not in a “ohhh 2011 was so much cooler” way, but in an… it was so much cooler way.
i’ll sit for hours reading people’s old typepad and blogspot blogs, just like i did back then. and i’m still filled with the same nostalgic whimsy i felt then.
yes, a nostalgic whimsy for the moment i was in.
listen, i was 14 in 2011. it was really a horrible horrible age to be (my condolences to all 14 year olds). i found a magical escapism in blogs, bands like eisley and singers like feist. i was at the age where i wanted so dearly to hold onto my childhood while so badly wanting to be an independent person of my own.
blogs were simple. they didn’t always say much, they didn’t always have much to say. and that was totally okay in them. aesthetics mattered but not in the same way they do today. they just wanted to share the little pretties in their lives.
i want to capture this essence and put it in the bottle that is this tumblr. i hope you’ll join me here though this?
