I'm honestly sorry--- like, DEAN sorry, so yeah tbh not sorry at all--- but I really wish I could just say this in a way that's about as non-creepy or overdone as possible.

I get called 'mom' or 'dad' on this site a lot, and it's super endearing--- though I know I could never be anything near a fraction of a parent to any of you. It's all in good fun and such but I gotta admit...

There have been so many times wherein I've legit wanted to just friggin whisk some of you guys away. Not in some creepy white van or dark closet , but just away from the -fests you're enduring. You're strong--- all of you. And a lot of you are so damn young, and to hear wHY so many of you flee to the net (like me, a proverbial 'fantascape'), is so damn heartbreaking.

I wish I could snatch an apartment and just house you for like a day--- just a day of no one screaming at you, no one burdening you with expectations or fears. Just feeding you Starbucks and avocados and getting lost in malls because the maps are unreadable. Just for a day. Just for each of you. 

But I can't.

But you'll all get through it. You'll all ing push the through, but never forget that people are rooting for you.

I'm not a parent, and honestly--- hearing so many of the things people endure + some that I've seen firsthand, I don't imagine that happening in my life for a VERY long time.

But sometimes... when I see so many of you, existing as best you can and still managing to stay so zany and positive--- it makes me want to do well if ever it happened.
