1)whichever 2)conGRATS on yr move u bold & powerful queen 3)i didnt realize til poking around on yr blog just now that i got the Best Thing game from u but molly i have to tell u that that game got me & my best friend thru some really difficult times in college when Big Life Things were happening for both of us & we had to keep trying to be normal committed students. in those really shitty hopeless-feeling moments we would turn to each other & say "best thing?" & in 5 mins wed be laughing again.

anyway i just wanna say thank u. for being u, for sharing yr stories. its really cool to me that i have all of these memories that i created because of something i read on yr blog a bunch of years ago. not to b sappy as f*ck but like u have a lot of light inside u dude & it radiates out through yr work. clearly, bc it touched me, & i carried it out into my world. so again, thank u. i hope london is hilarious & beautiful & surprising & expansive

everything is fine and i am not crying alone in my apartment at 10:30 in the morning!!!!! this is such a kind and gentle thing to say, and i’m so so so glad that The Best Thing That Could Happen game has been as good for you as it always is for me. i got that game from my friend annie when we were working in a job that we both hated, and we’d pass whole days playing it. we haven’t seen each other in a while but she is one of my favorite people on the planet and i’m really grateful that i got to know that she exists. 

a n y w a y, not to ALSO be sappy as f*ck but this blog my early twenties was something that brought me a lot of joy and pride (not that it doesn’t anymore! just, you know, my like, 15 minutes have kind of passed, i think) and such a big part of that was the way that i felt like i got to connect with such a broad range of people. i don’t think i always gave the best advice or wrote the funniest stories or, you know, was the #wokest, or whatever, i’m sure i made a lot of mistakes and continue to make very many mistakes, but being “known online” only works if it’s a two-way street, in some way, where you are making something and people are giving something back, because otherwise it’s this weird parasocial thing that i think is just, so so so so unhealthy for all involved (INFLUENCER CULTURE I’M TALKING ABOUT INFLUENCER CULTURE). 

MY POINT IS, god this exact kind of tangenty nonsense is why i can never have a real youtube channel, i am indescribably glad that it felt like we were exchanging something!! i hope sometimes it still does!! i get a lot from you guys -- i read all your tags, all your reblogs, all your @ mentions, all your messages (even though i know i am SO terrible at responding to them, i’m sorry, it’s that i want to respond individually and thoughtfully but i don’t always have time and then the unanswered ones get so overwhelming and there’s such a backlog rn because this year was ... So Hard oh my god) -- and i guess all of this is my long-winded way of saying that i don’t think i’d be me today if it weren’t for the way my little tiny corner of the internet treated me when it was looking at me. 

so like -- thanks. that’s all i’m trying to say.

(this is why it takes me so long to answer messages look how long this is just say tHANKS AND WALK AWAY MOLLY)

hi! i was looking at the charm bags to reverse bad luck and i was wondering if you could tell me what it means by "consecrate and charge the bag"?

Consecrate generally means cleanse and dedicate for a specific purpose. 

Charging something means you put your energy into it, or the energy of something else--like the moon or the sun.
