This is incredible ! Although in a strange way I ' ve already stumbled through this path , and it took a very long time to find my way . I wish it hadn ' t taken so long , if I had any advice to give someone on this path , it would be to maintain as many supportive social connections as possible . After so long I don ' t have much of a network of friends to lean on in hard times , the process made me incredibly selfreliant , almost too selfreliant . I need to open up more , but my safe space is my solitude . I was excited to know I ' d be spending thanksgiving alone with my furry herd . I still desire close personal relationships , but I ' m so wary of tribalism . <| sep |> Journalist here . You can print or say whatever the fuck you want , as long as it ' s a direct quotation . That exists so you can directly quote someone , instead of weirdly censoring the news .
