Unfortunately, I deleted my blog a year ago but I used Tumblr from 2009 to 2016, around from age 14 (when I got my first laptop) to age 21.
My blog went through many stages: I went from having a quality blog to having an astronomy/science blog to having a surf/beach blog to having a film/tv-show blog to having a design/architecture/animation blog to having a literature/poetry/quotes blog to having a spirituality/art blog. The community on Tumblr was particularly wonderful since it always aligned with what your blog interests where. I had many friends over the years, i.e. a woman from New York who I met when she was in high school and I was in high school (we video chatted and talked for almost four years), a woman from Paris studying for a masters in translation in Scotland when I had my literature/poetry/quotes blog (I remember her recommending I read Pride and Prejudice and I saying I would only read Pride and Prejudice if she watched The Godfather), a man from London who was a father when I had a spirituality blog (we would philosophize about things).
Above all, while these days I try to use the internet less and I am not a part of many social media platforms, I remember those days fondly and some lates nights, I think I wish I still had my blog and my followers and the people who I was following. I do not think there is/or will ever be a better place for an internet community than Tumblr was for me.
