I don’t understand this common notion around tumblr that following a number less than the number of people that follow you some how makes you a blogging god/goddess.
Maybe I’m new to the game, or just have a different approach when it comes to tumblr. I currently follow approx. twice as many people that follow me. I like it. It gives me a very diverse view of tumblr and the Internet and I like to think, therefore it gives me a diverse view of the world (I realize how naive and douche baggy this sounds).
While I’m extremely flattered when someone new follows me, I hope that I never stop finding new and interesting people to follow on here. I hope that I never think that I’m “like totes def too cool”* and stop being genuinely interested in the people that I follow.
(NOTE: Spell check recognizes douchebaggery as a word. Way to go Jon Stewart.)
*Sometimes me and my friends actually talk like this… but we’re totes def doing it to be ironic, I think.
