#thankstovideogames I finished high school, didn't commit suicide, and decided to keep going on with trying to find a way to keep going on. It also helped me find some forever friends, a community where I feel safe, and my own voice.

More friends I made along the way that I will cherish are, @UltraRadGMan2, @elliewillivms, @_kathrynfox_, & @xavagestarlight 
you guys make things all the worth while!

Especially you, Gabe ( @UltraRadGMan2), you've been there every step of the way since 2016. Almost the very first year I made my fandom account. You've always been by my side, a good listener, and great friend.
The photo on the left was my school photo from the worst school yr/yr of my entire life. I lost my entire will on wanting to live, and I honestly didn't want to be around anymore. That is also the year TLOU saved my life. On the right is 2017. I graduated high school that yr.
2015-2016 is the first time I had to be hospitalized for my mental health. It changed me in many ways. I was different, and it really shaped me into the woman I am today. 2015 is also the year I got my first tattoo. The semicolon.
Then to add onto this long thread. Two-ish years ago, I finally got Ellie's tattoo on my arm. This was right after a really bad car crash I was in that I thankfully came out barely injured. My car was the one you will see in this Tweet.
Long story short to end this thread, video games saved my life. Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise. They saved mine, and gave me hope again in so many situations where I wanted to give up. So, thank you, @Neil_Druckmann, @Grosstastic, and @Grosstastic, for giving me hope.
