Tumblr in my life

Okay so no idea if this is going to work, but i’ll give it a shot. Im still just learning about tags an such, yes I know N00b right?

Anyways, so

What’s your Tumblr story? Has Tumblr changed your life in any profound or personal ways? We want to know — and if you’re game, your story could become part of STORYBOARD, a big secret project we’re working on. Post your story (or your gif, or video) with the STORYBOARD tag, or if you’d like to submit privately, use this form.

I saw this an couldnt help myself.

How has Tumblr helped me? Well okay, so on Tumblr was actually one of the ways I found I could express myself, I could say whatever I felt at the time, things i was thinking and feeling, but wasn’t allowed to express in my real life, I used this as an online diary. I didnt mind if friends read it. I felt like, it was easier to have people read my Tumblr to find out what I was thinking, an feeling. What I was going through, I found it easier then actually telling them myself. I guess you could say im a coward like that.

I also found that this was mostly a place where I knew who could find me here, an I could chose if i wanted people to see or find what I had put on here.

Tumblr at first, saved me. It kept me out of a deep depression and thoughts of suicide. I decided to take my mind off my problems, by posting funny things I had collected, funny text and pictures.I also found that I could reblog funny things I had found by surfing Tumblr.

After that, I would put poems I had written on here, both old and new. They helped me express the pain I was in, without all the online complaining an bitching about life that im sure people get sick of. I used my creative nature in Tumblr as my outlet. 

So yes, I am thankful that when I couldn’t have a diary or journal around, on my computer hard drive or on my desk for fear someone would find it, I always had my blogs, Tumblr is still my outlet, how I document my most serious times, me at my most funny, me at my most scared, hurt and upset, an me at my most inspired an inspirational.

So thank you Tumblr. For being there.
