Hey… thank you.

I joined reddit when I was 18 and since turning 31 I’ve gone through quite a lot. Almost all of it was alone. Reddit was the only social media site I ever used and while it changed heavily, it still felt… homey. Was the only consistent thing in my life during that period. Leaving reddit has genuinely fucked me up a bit simply because I had to leave behind the only thing that gave me even a shred of comfort.

While I know I’m pathetic and a specific case, I still wanted to say thanks for making this a lot easier.

You’re not pathetic at all. Familiar things can be comforting. Nothing wrong with that.
Oh I’m pathetic. Just maybe not for reasons listed.
You are a human being, you are important, you matter and you are loved. You are not pathetic.
I am a human being. That’s the only one that’s true.
