When I was a junior in high school I sort of felt lonely in a way where I couldn’t talk to other people about what was going on in my mind. I felt as if no one cared or my friends would feel uncomfortable if I would bring anything personal up. I still don’t talk much about my feelings or my thoughts to people, I think it’s just a natural thing I do. Anyways, during my junior year of high school, I wanted to express my feelings, so something I decided to do was make a Tumblr page because it was the first website that popped up in my head and I never had an account. So I made myself an account and I would customize my page. I didn’t really care if people would follow me, the account was more for myself. From what I can remember my first post went along the lines of “ Hi, this is my page to vocalize my emotions, without feeling weird about it”. It was more like a public journal, I would just post my day to day emotions and things that bothered me. I got some followers but I would get people who would like to reblog my posts, which is cool because I took it as someone felt the same way as I did. I wasn’t concerned with the people in my life somehow finding out because it was anonymous and they don’t use Tumblr. I continued to post on there until a year later, so by the start of senior year, I didn’t feel the necessity to post anymore and felt better emotionally. I posted my last post saying “Okay, bye!” just because I didn’t want to overthink it. Sometime last year I decided to delete the account for closure.
