i log onto tumblr tonight after seeing some friends, hoping to see some funny cat GIFs or maybe some black and white ~classy porn~ my friends are reblogging when they think no one can see them
and i’m just like,
tumblr is so FUCKING NEGATIVE
like i feel like the vast majority of people i’m following right now exclusively post a) negative shit about themselves, b) negative shit about others, c) negative shit about the world in general
and i get that this is our space to vent, but i actually feel like spending too much time on a site like this can become toxic, and cyclically so. like i often leave this site feeling worse about myself and about life as a human being than i did when i came on
i’m starting to follow more people who are embarking on personal journeys with fitness and health, or who are traveling, or who write poetry, or whatever, but i just want more people who are generally fucking POSITIVE about what they can be positive about
this afternoon at the grocery store this lady asked me to buy a pack of diapers for a charity she was collecting for by the checkout line and i hesitated for a second because i was like, hey, five dollars
but then i was like, i spend an egregious amount of my free time browsing a website where the regional sport is COMPLAINING ABOUT LITERALLY EVERYTHING, why would i not buy some diapers for a needy child
i’m not going to be all dramatic like “ugh i have to get off this site for my mental health,” but i want to know if any of you have any good, positive, even inspirational tumblrs that you follow. your own tumblr is good, too, i don’t care.
i just want to log on and see more people being like “i woke up today and i was young and had my full health and access to the internet and education and food and i was like, fuck yeah i am pumped as hell to be alive!!!”
idk, something like that
suggestions open
