Jumping off the Sugar Rush self portrait bridge - if you haven’t seen Wreck-It Ralph, I highly recommend it.

Going to be concentrating specifically on my art Tumblr, feel free to follow me there instead. :)

I decided to stop using Tumblr about a week ago.

I first started using Tumblr because it was like notcot.org, only interactive and more frequently updated. Tumblr was a place I came to for creative inspiration. The more time I spend on Tumblr, the more I feel like I don’t belong here. When did we become a society of people who post the same bullshit over and over again in the hopes that others will show us the slightest bit of attention? I think I’ve reached the point where I can’t relate anymore. I’m a smart, beautiful, kind, talented 26-year-old woman. I could be the writer and artist of a comic book or hit TV show, the lead singer of a rock band; in my past I’ve been a dancer, a model - at 16 I taught myself how to play guitar just because I wanted to. So why am I on Tumblr? Why am I sitting here wasting valuable time watching people rehash the same material, re-posting the same blatantly-angled photos of themselves, flirting aimlessly with each other, obsessing over their own shortcomings, hiding behind grey faces to be brave enough to ask questions they’re too cowardly to ask themselves? Of course, I know plenty of people on Tumblr who don’t fall into these categories, and I appreciate all of you, but the longer I spend on here the more you become the minority. Send me a message if you’d like to keep in touch.
