I have decided that it is time for me to leave tumblr. I have been inactive on it for at least half a year now and I guess now it is time for me to make it public that I have left. Not many will see this, but I just wanted to make it known. There are very few reasons to why I am leaving. I found tumblr to contain very strong and controversial views that made me uncomfortable and made me feel like I had to be a certain way and hold a certain view to be accepted into society, and if I showed any rejection I would be judged and sometimes made a target. I also found that it was just an empty space where I would let out feelings but not get anything in return. It made me feel lonely and unimportant, as any problem I faced that was causing me great distress or upsetting me to the point of tears, I would post it to my blog and not get any help or sympathy, which in fact worsened my problems. Since getting in a safe and happy relationship, I have found confiding in a person is more beneficial to me than writing on a site, and I can certainly get a lot more out of it. My boyfriend is also really the only person I have in my life now and keeping this blog that would constantly remind me of how lonely/unpopular I am isn't really what I would like and would deepen me further into my sadness. I am greatly uncomfortable with a lot of information about me on my blog being available to be archived to anyone who wished to see it. I spent a lot of time on this site and found myself to be putting things off to waste an evening on a blog that nobody looked at, which almost made me fail a lot of my subjects at school.

I have a few fond memories from this site that I will always keep with me. I've met many friends on this and even met the love of my life through it too. But I feel it is time for me to go now. It is my biggest and last year of school before I go to university and would like to try my hardest to get to where I want to be and I found this site was somewhat holding me back. I doubt anyone will see this, but I wanted to post it anyway. Thank you. Emily x
