I just joined reddit (so please forgive any transgressions to your unfortunate-portmanteaued "reddiquette") and I found this sub on a whim, and though most of you seem to be wallowing in hurt or frothing mad, you've all made me happier than I've been in... well, let's grossly undershoot and say "weeks."  See, I never really knew how many of us lived in this pit together or how eerily similar we are in thought and deed.  I feel more solidarity with humanity at this moment than at any other time I can remember.  After years flailing through life alone-- unable to breach my fears and reservations about my own perceived shortcomings to a seemingly deceitful world-- finding a tangible legion of people akin to these same horrors and triumphs is like coming home for the first time.

I just wanted to say hello and give thanks-- comfort in a sometimes miserable solidarity is still comfort.  While I'm up, I owe it to give credit where due and I love you dis-tempered fools right now, for your mourning regrets, unrequited loves, and impotent rages.  I know these beasts!  I fight those fuckers, too!

So wherever you go, whatever shit-storms you brew, whatever unsustainable highs you summit: thanks for being like me.

I'm pulling for you.
