Personally, I appreciate seeing text whenever I scroll around tumblr. It’s much more intriguing and, in a way, more personal than simply seeing a picture. I know, a picture means a thousand words, but what specific combination of those words describe the emotions that led you to post that picture? If, for some odd reason, you came back to revisit your tumblr of however-many-years, how would you recall whatever was on your mind on that very day? Writing a blog post can be a uniquely cathartic experience, especially in ways that can’t be truly contained through just a picture.
