12 November 2022- I’m Back :)
Hey! It’s definitely been a while...
I’ve still been liking and reblogging some posts here and there...but not very frequently. It’s been a while since I’ve made a post of my own.
Honesty, I’ve been trying to limit how much I use social media. A few months ago, I deactivated my Instagram again (it has stayed deactivated since then). Last month, I, finally, deactivated my Facebook. If there was a way I could, temporarily, deactivate Snapchat, I would...
I don’t want to blame my insecurities only on social media, but social media has definitely not helped. I end up in this cycle of always deactivating, then reactivating and hurting my own feelings, which leads to a mental breakdown and me deactivating again. I’m sick of it.
Anyway, I’ve decided to just stay off Instagram and Facebook indefinitely. I’m not going to enter that deactivate then reactivate cycle anymore. It’s not healthy.
Tumblr is nice though...at least my mutuals are :)
I’m really thankful that I have not seen anything problematic on my dashboard (I’m assuming it will stay that way).
I really like the energy you all have. There have been a few times, during these past few weeks, that I have scrolled on the Tumblr app as an escape.
I don’t want to just scroll anymore, though. I want to participate again. So...this is me, officially, coming back to Tumblr again.
I want to get back on track (I wonder how many times I’ve said some variation of that statement here lol) with my goals.
I was also thinking of expanding what I post here. For example I have been, recently, rediscovering my love for reading. I think it would be fun to share some of the books I’ve been reading and plan to read...or maybe I could even make another blog...
Either way, my point is, I’m going to be more active on here again.
Tonight (or tomorrow morning) I’m going to take some time to really write out what it is I want to accomplish for the rest of this year. I’m also going to start thinking about how I want my 2023 to look. Before I know it, 2022 is going to be over and I’m going to have to make a new vision board...
Looking forward to being back :)

So...I, temporarily, deactivated my Instagram account just now. I also wanted to, temporarily, deactivate my Facebook, but then I remembered I helped run a page for a club I was in last year. This page still, occasionally, gets liked to this day. I’m not 100% sure how deactivating would affect the visibility of this page, so I’m just going to leave my account alone and, instead, log out out and delete the app from my phone.
I still feel pretty good about Insta though. Honestly, out of all my social media, this one causes me the most pain (lol). I found myself checking it more constantly. I would attribute this to the fact that the semester ended a couple of weeks ago, which has left me with more free time. I found myself comparing my life with other people’s lives a lot more than usual. This made me start feeling bad about myself and even made me forget about my own recent accomplishments. I also checked the page of someone I should not be checking on (I just know my friends are going to scold me when I tell them about this). This is, mostly, because it always ends with me getting my feelings hurt when I do. Long story short...did not go well. I saw something I wish I didn’t see that ended up crushing my self-esteem even more (learned my lesson).
Anyway, I think I really do need this break from social media (excluding tumblr of course). I’m going to use these next few months to really focus on myself. I’m going to make my physical, mental, and spiritual health top priorities this summer.

Unlearning your own toxic patterns to become a better ‘you’ is self-care.
I SERIOUSLY NEED NEW FITBLR ACCOUNTS TO FOLLOW!!! my dash is quiet
medications don’t work the same for everyone.
therapy doesn’t work the same for everyone.
self care doesn’t look the same for everyone.
mental illness doesn’t look the same for everyone.
recovery is a personal process and shouldn’t be compared to anyone else’s. we are all healing from different things. just because someone else says, “my life has been bad too, and i got over it”, that in no way means you’ve tried less. you will grow at your own pace.
Give yourself time. If it takes longer for you to do everyday things, it’s okay. if you need longer to make a decision, it’s okay as well. if it takes longer for you to get out of bed or to gather motivation to do things, it is okay. please do not rush yourself, please do not feel bad because others need less time than you do, it is okay. you decide how much time you need and you set the pace. and guess what? that is totally okay. Give yourself time. ♡
