I am going to say it.

I like the new dark background and brighter colors.

Me too tbh. I took of my dash theme for the first time in about 5 years.

I use stylish on Tumblr, so I haven't seen the new layout. Is it very different?

I thought we weren't using it because they hate porn?

Tumblr still exists?

It gave me a headache within half an hour. I got the xkit fix, like at least half the people I follow.

Me too.

I like the colour on its own but the contrast is a huge migraine trigger for me, apparently. Which is not fun.

Sorry if we've had one recently, it's been a while since I've gotten here. (Work shift changed so I usually work late now.)

I sometimes wish I were one of those people who still had best friends from high school or earlier. I don't mean people I'm still in touch with and see once a year or once every five years, I mean people I still meet for coffee once a week. I know that's rare, but some people do have that, and I envy it a little.

I'm so tired of inspirational posts on social media.

I'm just not a people person. And I don't have and have never had close friends. I've had friends and I've had acquaintances. But I've really only ever been super close with my family.

That's not the secret part because I know I'm not alone it that The secret part is that I don't care. I'm fine with it. In the past, I've felt the need to make closer friends just because I believed that was something I had to do and everyone told me I needed them. But I tried and tried and it never worked. And you know what, I've realized I'm happy without.

I have work, I have family, I have a few groups of acquaintances I hang out with occasionally. And that's it. And I'm cool with that. I like being alone. I actually wish I had more time alone if anything.

I want friends but at the same time, I’m doing ok being by myself I think. Interacting with other people is hard and tiring and whenever I go through a phase where I want to make friends very badly I second guess everything I say and do and feel extremely put out when I fail. (This can double as a fandom secret I guess?)
