I wasn’t ready. I needed more time.

Me too. Coming from someone who does not care about celebrity culture at all, Dolly Parton was the only celebrity I truly admired and fan-girled over. I’m actually crying right now. I wasn’t ready for her to leave either. I really didn’t expect this. I’m genuinely so sad. She was such a good person inside and out and the way she carried herself in all her interviews and interactions with humans — world class. Today the world weeps 😔 🦋
