In real life, would you consider saying the things you say on Tumblr to people’s faces? Or do we assume that it’s ok to hide behind the excuse that this is just an outlet, or vent-let, or whatever? Is it really therapeutic or does it affirm a negative sentiment that would otherwise just be a fleeting thought with no substance or consequence? Have you started thinking in a Tumblr context?

I Regress…
Today
this morning
I regressed…
I missed the callous one
the one that taught me about betrayal and cowardice
about hypocrisy and pain
about futility

threatened to disembowel me once again
The void returned
and the hope and optimism receded out of fear

but I’m left only with hate
and a tainted view of a life in limbo
embellished with rose-coloured recollections

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
