so as to stay sane and pace myself

Anon – lovely, wonderful, supportive Anon. I do not know who you are, but I really, really appreciate the kind words and I wanted you to know that. I’m probably not going to directly answer your asks today, I’ve had enough arguments with people that are just not ever going to get what you and I have been saying, but I do appreciate hearing from you and wanted to let you know lest you think I hadn’t gotten your messages or just didn’t care to respond – it couldn’t be further from the truth, I promise! You do know that you can talk to me, right? Just send me a message and we’ll chat, I promise I don’t bite!
