Why Tumblr is Awesome

The best thing I find about Tumblr is that it can't really be defined in a few simple words. Tell Google to define it and you'll get a bunch of blah about how it's a blogging site where you can follow others' blogs and post multimedia. But it's so much more than that.
Tumblr is a place where you can feel completely free to express yourself. Obsessed with something most of your friends know nothing about? You're guaranteed to find Tumblr friends that love it just as embarrassingly much, if not more so. Love a TV show? Well have you ever heard of the word fandoms? Cause you're already in one. Do you ever feel like no one really understands what you are going through? Well with Tumblr I don't even think that's possible. Everyone has slightly different circumstances but in the end it comes down to the same thing.
However if you don't have an open mind to things like gay marriage, feminism, and so on, Tumblr is probably not the place for you. People are generally pretty open to oversharing on Tumblr so it's quite expected to find out things on a daily basis that you probably didn't want to know about. There are arguments on Tumblr just like there are on Facebook but generally a lot more people see them and then feel free to send you a response what he think about it as well even if the post is like two years old and you thought it died and was done with. However, Tumblr isn't just another site to start drama on, you can also learn a lot of things that otherwise you would have never known about.
My second favorite thing about Tumblr is that it has its own language that is special to the site that people not on it might not really understand. I'm really not sure how to explain most of it but here's a site that has a few 'words':

I enjoy the slang words even though when you use them around friends that don't Tumblr, you will encounter an awkward situation of trying to figure out how to explain what you mean. Sometimes it's like trying to explain the word 'to'. It's ridiculously hard.
Sadly though, Tumblr is cannot be perfect. Nothing in the world can be. Sometimes people do get bullied by other people. But with one person that is mean or hateful, a hundred or so other supportive people or there to help outweigh it. Still, I would like to say again that Tumblr is not for everyone.
