Ahhh omfg Nonnie. This ask made me gasp and breathe WAY too fast, and then pace around the room, and make a cup of tea, and then I let it go cold. I have written out seven answers so far… some flippant and funny, some deadly serious (AND WAY TOO PERSONAL), and idk I am at a loss, seriously. I am deeply touched, and very grateful to you for telling me this. Thank you so much.
I try? I try, all the time, I really do. I am just a regular person though, so I reaaaaally don’t
want or
deserve a pedestal. I’m just another screwed-up person struggling to improve herself and her understanding of a very screwed-up world. I am not perfect: I have fucked up in the past, I have said the wrong thing, I have been scared and angry and hurt, and I have come to the end of my patience. I’ve said things that make me curl up around my pillow when I remember them, moaning, ‘ohhh nooooo aaargh make it stoooopppp’
I do try to state my true opinion, as openly and logically as I can at the time – though only when it’s appropriate, will not harm, and/or if it is asked for – and GOD I am always so careful about it. So so so careful. I watch my every word, I don’t ever lie, or even use anon settings. That shit comes back to bite!
Heh, I disagree with people, all the time! Some of them are my friends, though, and they totally disagree with me too, so that’s fair 😀 What I don’t have time for is people who attack, threaten, insult and/or harass others over a petty disagreement. We all deserve safety and respect.
I am really glad I am safe for you, Nonnie, and I hope you always feel comfortable asking me stuff, because I am always so! incredibly!! honoured!!! to receive them. ALWAYS.
Aw Yiss
