With the news that Tumblr has been acquired by Yahoo! for a cool $1.1 billion, Tumblr users have been up in arms over whether or not the deal will change the fundamental nature of the site and the unique community that creates and shares a massive amount of content. (For the record, Yahoo has vowed "not to screw it up.")
While we don't know what the future holds for Tumblr, we've pulled a few of our favorites that we hope don't ever change.
Old Loves
This Tumblr not only pulls at our heartstrings, it plays with the idea that nostalgia can be just as strong as love. oldloves.tumblr.com

Summing up your love life in six words may feel daunting, but flip through the pages of this Tumblr and it feels like someone may have already written it for you. sixwordlovestory.tumblr.com

Humans of New York
New York has a reputation of being somewhat of an oxymoron: romantic yet gritty. Brandon Stanton has amassed a photographic collage of what makes New York the most romantic city on earth. humansofnewyork.com
