gracehelbig: smalltowngirlchasingcitylights: One year ago today was the most horrible day of my life, the day my dad died. Its amazing how much someone you have never met before could help you through so much. I need to say the biggest thank you in the world to Grace Helbig even though we have never met before you have gotten me through the last year. You made me laugh when I couldn’t even string two words together. Your videos distracted me and for the 4 minutes or so a day I would forget about everything and for that moment I would be generally happy. I know you will probably never see this but I just have to to say thank you. Keep doing what your doing because you have a gift to make people laugh and thats something so speical that people cannot be taught. Not many people are as amazing as you. You truly are an inspiration to so many people. You remind us that even when your world comes crashing down there is always a silver lining and you just need to fight to get over the hurdle and see the sunshine again. You will never understand how much you have done for me. Thank you Grace Helbig. This overwhelms me and emotion tends to make me feel like metal. But, thank you smalltowngirl. I’m so sorry for all of the sad and bad and pain, but I thank you for the honesty and vulnerability and sharing of this weird human existence thing that’s happening to us whether we want it to or not. You rule it.
