How did YOU discover tumblr?

mabelmoments:

sarahheartburn:

thedoctr:

I think Gecko talked me in to it.  That’s who I blame anyway, justified or not.

inothernews:

Gawker, like a year ago or something like that.

buyhercandy:mascarah:

Hez started it. Then Mabel made me do it.

You know you wanted it, Sarah darling.

It was that Hez tart, through her tumblr. Started the same time as inothernews. After about a week he was thanking his ten followers and I had 2, Hez and him. I loved them though.

Gecko and inothernews were the culprits.  I still have very few followers (I don’t post enough).

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

- Henri Nouwen
