Update #2
Added 2024-02-21 23:18:59 +0000 UTCThe next update for the week isn't so much of an update as it is an overdue thank you.
During my birthday about a month ago, I made myself incredibly vulnerable and shared a wish list, admitting that things had been really tough and if anyone would like to nab me a small pick-me-up, it'd really be appreciated.
You all came through in DROVES.
Multiple times, I got texts telling me that the Amazon delivery person would require assistance.
I cannot even begin to tell you how literally life-changing that was for me. Not the gifts, but the gesture. I'd been really struggling with my dad's passing, and to have so many people--most of whom I've never actually met--show up to try to help just absolutely blew me away, and I feel like that wave of positivity has been carrying me through ever since.
I've made sure to use Amazon's function to send personal "thank you" cards to each and every person who sent me something. However, I did lose ONE, so whoever bought me Beauty & The Beast, I want you to know how incredibly grateful I am for your kindness.
I'm sorry it took me so long to make this post. Maybe I was worried that no expression of gratitude would manage to be adequate. Either way, I truly cannot thank you all enough. Your outpouring of support lifted me up during a time where I desperately needed it, and I'm forever grateful.
I'll talk to you all again tomorrow.
