  • I want to feel seen, and so that is why I fell into the social-microblog tumblr web. But, now I am realizing, I am also striving for privacy. I want to be a private person. So wanting to be seen and listened to and validated are all at odds with -- what I feel is a core characteristic of myself, which is -- my reluctance to be open, even semi-anonymously on the internet.
