I refuse to go numb




Do you ever wonder whether people would like you more or less if they could see inside you?


If people could see me the way I see myself - if they could live in my memories - would anyone, anyone, love me?
So I’ve seen a lot of (and am privileged enough to have been on a couple) Follow Forevers in my short time here, and I’ve reached enough milestones that I feel as though I can accurately list the people who have irrevocably shaped and brought immeasurable joy to my Tumblr experience.  Thank you, everyone, for teaching me how to flail on the internet. Thank you for teaching me how to graphic and how to gif (albeit poorly on my part). Thank you for being my partners and cohorts in writing (again, not so great), thank you (a select few of you) for knowing now every aspect of myself that I pack away for strangers all across the world and still loving me for it.  Thank you for allowing me to be myself, to love and hate and cry without shame because well, I’m at last not alone in all of this. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world and inspiring me every single day to be better than I am, and letting me try.  It is a privilege to consider myself even a small part of your lives. None of you are ever getting rid of me. (also if I’m forgetting anyone I apologize - you probably changed your URL and I forgot who you were. :P) -Annie | aliveinabox | apersonbyproxy | areyoutryingtodeduceme | aspiringtoeloquence | bishams | blanana | bowtieathedisco | braincase | calvinalexander | calvinosaurus | candicemorgans | cooper-blaine | dinojay | fadingtales | gidget-84 | harperlys | heymarsh | hofstadterants | karenandthababes | keepthesunnysideup | klausible | matt-kaz | meagansphilosophy | missjessicapond | nik-oline | penny-hartzs | persnicketyimperfectionist | planets-bend-between-us | rickoffstark | samecoin | seekinglegrandpeutetre | shuofthewind | somethinglikestickynotes | stefansbeard | stormageddon-darklordofall | stupidbloodyidiots | tardicks | theamazingspidermans | the-eleventh-blog | thereideffect | twigsnleaves | whatfoolscallit

"who are your best friends on tumblr?"

Good question, haha. Um, not counting my real-life friends, (And Calvin who I met on here first and then in real life - love you bb)

the all super quality people I feel like I’m closest to - toss up between Hannah, Minnie, and Lorraine, while the equally quality and wonderful people I’d like to get know better who also follow me include Leah, Luisa, Nicole, Lucii  and Charlie.

Also included in the list of let me love you but I’m mostly too intimidated are the bunch of way too quality people who follow me like Christie, Virginia, missgoalie75, aliveinabox, and the always lovely bishams (seriously I don’t know what any of you guys are doing here and sometimes I forget you follow me because we talk so rarely but you’re all just there and it’s just really unfathomable to me, anyways)

I don’t have that many followers so I feel like I’m missing people, oops clearly I need to make a follow forever or something

Is that a comprehensive enough answer for you dear anon? :P 


aliveinabox started following you.

FREAKS OUT. I JUST SAW THAT IN MY DASH LIKE EIGHT PAGES IN AND I AM JUST ASTOUNDED. 

I sincerely hope you are not disappointed in my utter lack of quality. :P
