I had been doing some thinking recently. Pondering on whether or not fandoms were taking up too much of my life - if they were preventing me from studying for my exams and all that jazz! After a while I decided to do something about it. I decided to start studying more and go on my accounts less and I began deleting apps that would distract me and so on. Then in the whole spur of the moment sort of thing I went to the account settings on Tumblr and promptly hit the 'Delete Account' button. I didn't even flinch!
About a good week later, I came crawling back - like a some stereotypical ex! It was a Saturday evening with nothing to do and the whole 'I'm going to start studying and stop fangirling' dream, dead. Naturally my first thought was to go on to social media, but finding every app deleted due to my 'spur of the moment', I ended up clicking on Safari and going on to the login page for Tumblr. I typed in my username and password and... Nothing! After about a billion tries it occurred to me that when you click the 'Delete Account' button it actually does delete your account (nice going there Einstein!)
Then tears were shed, as full of sorrow I began to create a new account. Then I had to refollow everyone, however I had had enough trauma for one night and quickly followed 5sos before promptly logging off.
So many friends that I had made were gone! All the edits I had posted were gone! Traumatic much (for a fangirl, very)!
Since that horrible day I've been on Tumblr everyday because I love Tumblr and being that stereotypical ex, I was begging for it to take me back (OK, not begging because that would be weird and rather sad, but I'm just trying to put it into some sort of context)! :'D
Moral of the story is:
1. Appreciate Tumblr and your other accounts
2. Never ever click that 'Delete Account' button unless you really mean it
3. Fangirls CANNOT live without their Tumblr accounts
4. Don't do anything in a 'spur of the moment', you will most probably regret it later
5. Follow me on Tumblr (that's technically not a moral of this story, but, "Get that promo!" ~ a quote by a YouTuber, can't remember which one though :-/ )
I'll admit that this was a weird and slightly bizarre post, but just felt I should share that with you! ;)
If you have any 'traumatising' stories like mine feel free to share them in the comments!
Till next time... Bye!
