Much thanks to this place. Is it strange that I find this to be one of the best places I've ever been to on the internet? I don't think suicide or human anguish is good or romantic, but there is something uniquely beautiful about the way people have chosen to come together here to bring kindness and compassion to each other in their most painful moments, and how even the slightest healing and learning seems to arise from that. I think that's especially important now when so much of the internet seems driven by vitriol. One more reason why standards and modship are important.
If I don't make it, I'll still have been glad I came here, and if I do make it, I have to imagine I would still drop by here occasionally to try to offer something and understand people and what they go through more. Partly because of this place, I'm more in the zone of making it.
