I was gonna make a big shouty list and all that but the fact is I don't even know where to begin with it. I joined this forum the day that I moved down to Houston to get treatment for my mother's cancer, since I had to start fresh with friends. She ended up passing mid-2012 and you guys helped more than you'll ever know stepping out into the world on my own. and that's just one of the many things you've helped me through. When I was a pussy hair away from getting murdered in that hotel last year, you were the first ones I came to after the adrenaline settled. I turned 21 this year and yall were there to celebrate with me when I didn't know anyone else to ask, same for my 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th birthday's it's just been celebrated here with you. After my mushroom overdose yall were there to help pull me out of my solipsism loop, which was undoubtedly the darkest time of my life. And I guess that's what I'm trying to say, you held my hand through the darkness and for that thank you. On some real shit, thank you.
As the other vets know, I've spent the last few years saving up and getting everything in order to move back home across the country where I actually have friends and a history, and over this last week I've been making the drive up here, as of tonight I've finally made it back home and I'll be moving into my new house as soon as the movers get up here with my things.
Houston beat the motherfucking shit out of me and you guys gave me a place where I could just talk to people and not be stuck in my own head in my apartment driving myself crazy, and that's some real shit. Thank you. And that extends to all of you - AliJack, Class, Rafael, Silver, Guilty, Based, I'm sorry that our personalities didn't mesh well but fuck all that yall were part of this place and that alone is enough for me to call you my friends. Everyone else that I got along with, thank you too. I guess I wish I had more to say but that's about it - just thank you. You're welcome to contact me whenever wherever.
Keep it strange yall
