Thank you for being a community I can count on to truly relate to, lift my spirits, and be truly understood by when remnants of past and present shame come creeping in. Sure there is the occasional tease that may or may not go too far, and we don't always agree with everything. But even when the mainstream internet terrifies me of being bullied and abandoned by the entire world for saying or thinking the wrong things, you guys provided a safe space to be my true self. And I'm super sorry if I didn't appreciate that enough this past year. And I'm sorry for distancing myself in times of crippling fear and depression (OCD, PTSD, and trauma are a bitch).

I am super thankful for this awesome community and the friends I made in it, and I am confident that you guys will play a huge part in my self-healing journey into 2024!
