Hey guys. It’s been like… weeks now. Actually, more like a month or more. I’m sorry for practically letting you all down with my lack of activity, but I’d like to make this public so I don’t just leave you all hanging.

I’ve decided to quit Tumblr. It’s been a pretty hard decision for me, guys, but this time I’m not gonna delete and run away like I did last time. I’ll give you some reasons why I’m quitting.

Note: I put “hiatus” in the title because there’s a slim, slim, slim chance of me coming back. I dunno, my mind changes pretty frequently.

Another Note: Me leaving has nothing to do with my boyfriend, lol. In fact, it’s our 11 month anniversary today.

Here’s a list of why I’m leaving, in order of importance.

1. I’m getting bored of Tumblr. I dunno, I just am. It’s been months of me being here. It’s the same thing every day, really. I’ve met all of you guys and I’m so, so, SO grateful for that. But I just feel like it’s time for me to move on. Find another home, you know? I’m kinda a nomad when it comes to the internet. I come to a site, make friends, stay for a while, and then leave. It’s just how I am, no hard feelings involved.
2. My time has been taken up by other things. Not even joking. My boyfriend, my family, my school (thank God it’s ending soon), and I now have a job. I just don’t have much time anymore. And when I do, which is only like a couple hours per day, I don’t want to go on Tumblr because of point 1. I’m sorry if you feel like a priority. You all are. But I need to prioritize a little differently and put my necessities first.
3. My arthritis has taken itself to a whole new level. This is the thing that affects my life most. I’m very close to being hospitalized at this point, and I can barely move when I’m not at school or work. My left shoulder, neck, right elbow, left big toe, and now behind my right rib cage (probably not connected to arthritis but still it’s part of my pain) hinder me from so many activities I as a human should be able to do. This includes dancing, any sports, and sometimes even walking. It’s very depressing, but I’m strong and I can get through it when I find the right medication. Don’t worry about me.

So yeah. Lastly, I just want to apologize. I really do. I feel like I’m letting you all down because of my setbacks. Please, I don’t want any of you to cry or feel upset. There are many great people and great blogs out there. Forget about me, okay?

I set the “let people answer this” option so you guys can send me goodbye messages. I’ll check this over the next couple weeks.

Stay beautiful, Tumblr.
