hey! so i wanted to say this as a little thank you to everyone here.
ever since the tension between my parents started, i've been delving deeper into my depression. when my dad left, it made it very worse. i didn't know what to do; it felt like everything was going wrong!
but then my mom asked me, "what about that game you play?" and i remembered this place. i remembered that there are people like me here, and that i'm not alone. i remembered all the great people who always succeed in making me laugh, even thought it's hard to outside of here.
then i came back, thinking "they will help me; like they always did."
and i came back and was met with those friendly, happy, and goofy people that is this community. i was surprised at how many people had missed me; i thought no one truly cared when i left! but there they were, welcoming me with open arms. i felt so... happy! i forgot why i even left in the first place!
and as i derped about here, i realized: "this place is where i can be happy for once", "this place makes me enjoy my life", "there's still good things in my life".
honestly, it's hard being a cancer and having depression, as well as all these problems. but, coming here, seeing all of you happy and joking and enjoying yourselves... it makes me want to stay.
to be honest, at first i thought i didn't want to live my life anymore... the thought of suicide crossed my mind before... but... i remembered you all... i remembered how much you guys had missed me when i left for a few days. and i realized i couldn't do that. not to my mom, not to my brother and sister, and not to you guys.
so, thank you all. you saved my life. i can never repay you all for this...
but just remember that you saved me just by being yourselves.
i will never forget you guys. thank you.
