I made a Tumblr account after I finished reading her email. At first, I did not know how to work it. So I just shot the whole idea down. I told her that it was stupid and we argued about if

it was asinine or not. Then she gave me a list of people to follow. She explained to me the concept of “Tumblr famous” people. She told me, “Tumblr is not foolish. You are the one that does not know how to work it. You probably follow the wrong people.”
We said our goodbyes and hung up. I wondered if Tumblr could be the place where I could air out and not be judged? I could almost go back to being a new born, so innocent to the world. I hoped that Tumblr could be all that she described. This new thing is where I would found myself every day.
As the months went by, Tumblr and I had become a daily routine for me. It was almost an addiction for me. I would wake up, roll over find my glasses, grab my phone check the time, open my app for Tumblr, and see what happened while I was sleeping.

I was getting dressed. Tumblr had become my new

    While most members of the Tumblr community praised Tumblr staff for finally taking a stand against blogs that promote self harm by banning them, the owners of these blogs lost their support platform and were forced to internalize their emotions. Bulimia, anorexia, and self harm aren't lifestyles, but mental illnesses, and with mental illnesses, support groups are vital to recovery. The banning of their blogs inevitably only exacerbated their sickness and if Tumblr banning the blogs created more harm than good, Tumblr was wrong for banning them in the first place.

She had a Tumblr, but she never told me what her URL was because she claimed that you're not supposed to follow people you know in real life on Tumblr…

    When an infant is being taken away his favourite toy he will start crying because he thinks it disappes for good as he can’t see it nor touch it anymore.

It is the step between objects only existing through on going sensory stimulation and the realisation of their existence being constant and not only dependant of the infant’s input upon it.…

This is known as, the Sensorimotor Stage of Cognitive Development.…
