Dear Topherchris

ruhi:

I was trying to post this to cesspoo:

Dear Topherchris,

There are pages and pages of absolute spam on this website. Nobody takes it seriously, including you. I click on the “Post it” button and guess what? You freaking spammed me! This stupid, horrible, spammy website opened up and wouldn’t shut for goddam 5 mins! What a waste! What I was posting made more sense compared to the absolute crap that people post there.

Hmmppff.

I’m so sick of seeing people tearing other people down on tumblr. I’m not trying to be Mother Teresa here. I’m not going to try and say that I haven’t thrown a few Jakob and Julia comments around, but I don’t get when people get so consumed by these things that they constantly must post about it. I just discovered a whole tumblr devoted to ripping apart people’s tumblrs. (which I don’t care to link to, you can find it on your own) “Feeling a little too good about yourself? Follow me and I’ll knock you down a peg or two.” Why? This is so sad. You don’t know these people. How is this benefiting anyone? Tumblr is a great place to share the content you enjoy and your thoughts. If you don’t like it…don’t follow it. It’s as easy as that. k. I’m done.

I totally agree here with Kyle. What’s the deal with all these people online who have seemingly infinite time & energy to focus on hate? I mean it’s not a new issue but seriously, WHY? It’s really just sad that some people are so pent up that they have to spend their time making “hate” themed websites and trashing people. It’s like.. get to a yoga class or something. Take deep breaths.

It took me a long time to stop caring about the “haters”.. to the point where I was pretty quiet online (personally) last year. Now I’m like WHATEVER. I don’t read stuff about myself anyway so if people are saying things, I am literally oblivious to it. If something is “important enough” it will find it’s way into my inbox or voicemail, otherwise it’s all chatter… chitter chatter, chitter chatter.

I love tumblr. I’m finding it a really great resource and a helpful way to organize my thoughts and ideas. I also love the genius of the reblog feature.. and the great interface and timeline so I can see what other tumblrers are up to.

I think this particular blog is most beneficial as a reference for me to use. I can easily find thoughts/quotes/vids and keep them neatly organized for later.

I guess haters are gunna hate, lovers gunna love… but I swear those haters just need deep-tissue back massages or something.

I’m done.

I can’t do this anymore. It’s ruining my life.

I thought that people could see through the bullshit, but they can’t. And it’s not their fault. It’s mine.

If all of this comes at the expense of my personal life, I don’t want it.

So … thank you for reading.

I don’t know when or if I’ll be back, but at the very least I need a little break.
