Anonymous asked: Thank you Trip. Sorry for adding to your stress. I appreciate you all so much. Thank you for letting me know that removal of mistakes sometimes doesn't mean it's not okay to make them in the first place. You poured your heart into that response. You don't need to publish this. I just wanted to sincerely say thank you.


Answer:

Sorry this had gotten lost in the depths of my inbox!

Don’t worry about asking things, if I can’t cope with a load or I’m struggling I just take a load off! 

Mistakes are fine, mistakes are great, mistakes are perfect, mistakes are REAL.

If anyone tries to say otherwise, remind them that those in glass houses cannot throw stones!

Sincerely anon I hope you are doing okay right now wherever you are in the world! & in life.

Anonymous asked: A week ago, I spent over an hour and a half trying to write a long, meaningful post about how much this blog has helped me realize that I'm not alone and how thankful I am, before giving up and quitting. I decided today to try to summarize it and try not to care about how awkward it sounds. This blog has helped me so, so much and I can not be more thankful. I still have a ways to go, but this has helped me realize I'm not perfect and that is totally okay. Thank you.

Your words are so so meaningful and perfect just because you meant them and they were honest.

I am so SO glad its helping and I’m glad we can be there for you! 

You are perfect in the way that you are precisely what you need to be for you right now, where you need to be and when.

I love you so much Nonny, 

~Trip
