I know we don't talk or anything, but I just wanted to say...I've known you for damn near a decade now, and I always feel graced by your presence as a mutual. You started out impressing me, and you keep doing it--just, like...your entire *you*. You're an incredibly creative, interesting, smart person, and you make neat things. So...thanks for being my friend, if that's okay to say! And, uh, if we're friends. Social media is an endless paradox of awkwardness.
You're great, Fluffs, please always know that. And thanks again for the Miri rec!
I'm never sure what to do with asks like these because I have to make a decision:
Do I answer privately and then lose it from the inbox forever?
Do I answer publicly and feel weird about displaying something that feels like it was meant to be sent in private?
Do I just hold onto it forever, unacknowledged, so I always have something very nice to see whenever I look at my inbox?
In any case I always am happy to be reminded that there are people who are positive about things and aren't afraid to say it, and it's also a great reminder that I should be more willing to tell other people how much I appreciate them.
In particular I like how much you're always sharing positive stuff and putting it on my timeline, and bringing attention to wholesome art and important environmental things.
So anyway I went with option 2 this time (after much deliberation). Thank you.
