All text below can be safely disregarded. I just didn't want to delete so the context of the other comment could at least be maintained.

Original Title: "Goodbye for now"

Sidenote: This will be the last meme I'm going to post for a while. Things just exploded in my face and "crisis" isn't strong enough word. I'm not doing okay and I don't want to be whining in the comments or maybe lashing out at people because I'm stressed and afraid.

I'll be back when I can. I dunno when that will be. Love you guys.

Live long and prosper 🖖

Edit: Fucking computers with fucking people and fucking close deadlines and shit being fucking received days before a fucking letter is supposed to go out so the fucking letter is sent fucking preemptively and gives me a fucking stroke.

I'm not going anywhere. Love y'all.

I have no doubt some people would help but I don’t want to put anyone in that situation, myself included.

The most stressful part of life is that the most compassionate people understand that everyone is in nearly the same bad situation they are in, and it makes it hard to want to ask for help from people struggling as much as you are.

However, it doesn't have to be that way, and we don't have to punish ourselves from needing help from our peers. I don't have much to give, but I know, in aggregate, every little bit helps. We're all struggling out here, and we may not be able to give everything to one another, but we can give compassion, and whatever help we can muster. And that means something.

It's hard to not have the inclusivity and outright hope from Star Trek influence how I feel in Star Trek forums. The hope for a better future where we work together collectively for a better future for all matters, in my opinion.

I genuinely hope for the best for you, and all my fellow Trek nerds.
