Okay Tumblr….
Here I am posting on your dashboard again. Like a man with a bungee chord attached to his belt, I keep coming back to you.
I dabbled recently with a WordPress blog which used the Dictionary.com Word of the Day as inspiration for each post. I think I made three entries before realising that I didn’t have the patience to continue.
Tumblr, it seems, is like that favourite toy you had in your childhood. Christmas will come and birthday’s will pass, where you receive new toys, shinier toys, toys that have exciting new features, the same toys that all the other kids in the playground have, and you play with your new toy for a few days. It gains all of your attention, all of your affection.
But there comes a point where you realise that it isn’t quite as good as your old toy. There’s something different, something missing. The sentimental attachment isn’t there and you quickly discard it onto the growing pile of ‘new’ toys.
You pick up your old toy. All the old features you adore are still there. It works exactly as you remember it and it just feels…..right.
So here I am, Tumblr. With my favourite toy back in my hands. Or on my dashboard, as it were.
