Decision

It’s been more than a year since the last time I opened my tumblr…

and now, tumblr can be accessed again here in Indonesia

but somehow, I feel like… I don’t really need tumblr anymore.. because I have WordPress now, as a place to post many things

and nowadays I kinda interested in minimalism

for those who don’t know what minimalism is..

it’s a lifestyle,

it’s about living less.

less stuff, less waste, less buying, less.. you know.. things that makes you “too attached” to this world.

and about prioritizing what matters most

maybe I’ll tell you guys more about it later.

and now back to why I want to delete my tumblr account,

that’s because I feel like having 2 accounts to post about the same exact things are just pointless.. especially when I started living as a minimalist… well, I can just stop opening my tumblr without deleting it.. but I feel like if I don’t need it or use it anymore… then I have to remove it

and when I was about to delete my tumblr account, after reading all of my previous posts again, I just realize how many hours did I spent for those posts, and how I put all of my feelings writing it.. 😢😥

I just..

I can’t do it..

so yeah

I’ve decided not to delete it.

but for functional purposes, I manage to make my tumblr account as a diary and my WordPress account to post about skill labs and recipes 😀

so now both of my accounts are still active with two different purposes and I dont have to worry about it anymore 😊
