u know whats fuckin hardcore people on this site who don’t speak english as a first language but blog in english anyways

Except when your first language is something more obscure that only a few million people speak, and you’re forced to learn English because the entire western world seems to speak it, and the majority of the popular movies, music, books, etc, are in English.

When if you blogged in your original languages, you would reach 0.5% of the audience and fellow fans you would otherwise.

When you’ve been communicating in English online from age 12 (that’s over 14 years for me now).

When you start learning English from the age of 10 in school anyway.

When you want to travel and be able to communicate with people when abroad.

When you start realising that you and a lot of friends speak so much English instead of your mother tongue, mixing it all together, that you start forgetting the words and phrases in your first language.

When your hardcoreness is actually accidentally erasing your own heritage.
