How Tumblr Changed My Life - prozac34
by prozac34
The most significant way it has affected me is finding the person I’m going to marry. I was one of the first people she followed that wasn’t actually her friend. She always liked my posts and then one day she stopped and didn’t for a while. I sent her a message asking if she was alright and how everything was. She then added me on Facebook but before we talked too...

Tumblr has changed my life because it has actually given me friends. I have Asperger’s Syndrome, so I lack the social skills needed to make friends face-to-face. On tumblr though, through people’s blogs, I find others with common interests and watch as they reveal their personalities even if they realize they aren’t doing it. Through the ask box and reply...

About two years ago I started my Tumblr because I was unsatisfied with where I was in my life. There was a burst of young people writing cool things on the Internet one weekend, and I was pissed that I wasn’t one of those people. I knew I had potential, but I wasn’t working to achieve any of it. I couldn’t afford J-school, and this was about a year and a half...

To be honest. It hasn’t changed my life at all. So why bother with this form? Well, life for some is outside, in the sun, the rain, the wind. What I do enjoy is the level of creativity that I get to experience at home. What I do love about Tumblr is the fact you are not subject to advertisements unless you are into the vintage kind that people share. I do love to share a...

In less than a year, Tumblr has made a huge impact on our life. When we were talking about setting up a beauty blog, we had to find a blogging platform which was right for us. Having used Tumblr previously we were familiar with the settings and posting so we decided to take a chance and host our blog on Tumblr, pretty much unheard of in the beauty blogging community. The thing...

My tumblr is NSFW hehe. *** Basically, Tumblr SAVED my life. Seriously. *** I won’t go into the deets too much but early 2011 was a very dark time in my life. I was very much questioning my identity and role in life and why everything felt wrong and fucked up. I had already happened across http://genderqueer.tumblr.com and it had lodged itself in the back of my...

I started using Tumblr after going through a nasty break-up. I decided to open up my ask box to everyone and would draw comics to respond to questions. Within a couple of days I had a couple hundred messages! It really cheered me up to have something take my mind off heartbreak and prevented me from slipping into a nasty depression hole. I looked forward to a nice quiet evening...

Over two years I started writing monologue jokes (the kind of jokes you’d hear on SNL’s “”Weekend Update”” or at the beginning of a late night talk show). I’d written them before but never with any regularity. It was fun and I loved showing them to friends, but I never made it a habit. At one point though, I decided I wanted to get...

While much hasn’t changed outwardly in my life in the six months since I’ve joined tumblr, i think the entire inner makeup of my soul has. I didn’t really know what tumblr was before i followed a friend’s link to a blog post. That day i became interested in this strange site that perfectly combined text, gifs, art, and people. I checked that blog...

Well besides being a window for me to learn so many things about the world and communities (photography, repurposing, technology, retarded everyday things, life hacker sort of things) tumblr helped me find a passion that’s about to alter my complete career and education choices. About a year and a half ago, I realised that I was in love with visual art. My cousin...

I joined tumblr at the end of my high school career but it hadn’t impacted me until much later. I spent my first semester of college commuting from home to a local branch campus, and the second semester I transitioned to the main campus. I had a lot of trouble making friends at first. I didn’t know how to approach people. I had come from a high school were...

“You know what you are? You’re sly. That’s why you are.” It’s nearing the end of 2009. I’d graduated college in 2008, was quickly reaching 2,000+ job applications and queries sent out, something I’d wake up and spend hours each miserable day doing, and I’d returned to my alma matter to visit a career councilor who was moving through...

I’ve been using Tumblr for almost 2 to 3 years now and at first it was sort of like an expressionism of thyself through pictures and images I see in my dash.Then years past when I decided to make it as a personal blog. You know, blogging your experiences, reviews and whatever shitty things about you. I’ve used words to let people understand me more. Tumblr became my...

How Tumblr Changed My Life - tailormadeart

This is nothing particularly profound as such, but I’ve dreamed of being an artist in some form or other my entire life and have dabbled in most fields, now specialising in illustration and web design. My biggest dream is to become a website developer/designer and thanks to Tumblr I no longer feel as though I am miles from achieving my goals. I’d never used a Blog...

I remember being in high school the beginning of my junior year. I felt like I was failing at life. I had a horrible GPA. I couldn’t stand most of my friends. All I wanted to do was get out of that town. That semester my mom dropped a bomb on me. She was moving to south America. I had 90 days to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I could move with her and drop out of...

I don’t have the skills (or money) to produce a website for myself. That for a long time left me with nowhere to collect all of my work. Enter Tumblr. Over the past three years, I’ve shared long articles, original videos, short blog posts, funny images, and everything else under the sun that I’ve put together or come across on the web. Having it all in...
