I just made the decision to pick up blogging on here again. I've posted on tumblr now for the last 16 months. It was fun, but I'm kinda sick of it at the moment. It's just too much about posing and fishing for compliments. The more likes/friends/ass creeps people have on there, the better they seem to feel. I won't buy into this. Also, this makes it too much like a social network for me and facebook is allready enough. I like the pureness of blogspot way more at the moment. There's no such thing as following people going on here. Well, blogspot also has this function, but none seems to use it. So if you're really into a blog, you check it out a few times a week for updates and not just wait till the updates pop up on your dashboard. So this asks the people that are interested in your blog to be way more proactive, which I like a lot more. I want people to show active interest, not just passive consumption. Also I don't need any likes and stuff. I started blogging, cause I started to devote my life to the spirit of wanderlust and I wanted to share my experiences with my friends. And I think my friends like what I'm doing (and if they don't, I don't think they'd check out this blog anyway), so no need for any likes.
Also, the temptation to just reblog any stuff you find interesting/amusing, is on tumblr way bigger, as a repost is just a click away. This makes it really easy to lose the focus of what you intented to do with your blog. Things get watered down so easily. Plus: I don't like it when people don't put in a little bit of effort to show what they're about and just reblog stuff that other people did/created. There's a huge lack of personality going on on tumblr, which makes it really boring. There's so little creativity going on.
So this is why all my personal, travel-related stuff will be posted here from now on: pictures, stories, plans,... Don't expect any daily updates, this won't happen. For music, literature, football, bicycle, movie,... you can still visit my tumblr.
