So sheepishly, I'm back guys! I know I suck. I half heartedly did posts & didn't get back to reading other blogs & commenting & actually engaging with anything. But I swear new leaf & all that. I always hated people who fled blogspot for tumblr because I thought it was lazy. But man, tumblr is so easy. & unoriginal. The people on blogspot are better but the content on tumblr is so broad. The above illustration for example is by Sam Taylor for Vice, who I found via tumblr. But for now I'll try & split myself a lot better. Promise. I've put my gift guide together (remember from last year?) for next week so the posts will definitely be more frequent & I will resolutely march my laptop into work to keep up with other peoples blogs on my lunch break. Sound like a decent deal? Sweet.
Now onto some way more important stuff.
My friend Ella from way back was diagnosed with cancer last April. It came completely out of the blue & was obviously more of a shock being that she's only 20. After all the horrible chemo finally came to an end unfortunately a couple of weeks ago she was told it was too agressive to treat. Her story isn't unique but she does have a unique way of telling it & she wants to get her message out that she's facing death & she's not going to be scared to talk about it. So if any of this resonates with you even a tiny bit I massively encourage you to read her blog Day to Day Living and Then Some. She wants to answer questions anyone might have about her situation so if you have anything you want to know, ask away! I know I can trust you guys to leave awesomely lovely comments right?
Right.
Wohooooo! It's good to have you back here. I was also "taken away" from blogspot for a while, by tumblr. Then I realized tumblr sort-of lacked creativity and I haven't updated mine in months...
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for the Christmas-list thing, I absolutely adored last years! (It also seems as if I have more gifts to give every goddamn year..)
tumblr just doesn't work for me, i dunno, i find it hard to engage with. obvs i find images i like but i do like the feeling of interacting and sharing with people, in a backslapping kinda way. i remember the gift guides, the mens one was very cool. get them up. that's so sad about your friend. it's something i wonder about, getting ill while very young.
ReplyDeleteI like tumblr but I don't like its lack of engagement. I do go there for inspirations image-wise though.
ReplyDeleteReally gutted for your friend, checking her out and will be wishing her well
