That was all well-said, Taeylor, and I'm very glad you're able to lose yourself in DS fandom at a time when it's this necessary an escape or emotional release, as it is now, with the health problems. I know what it's like to need that. In fact it was at around your age that I was able to lose myself in Doctor Who and some other alternate realities and fandoms, to an extent I hadn't thought possible, because most areas of real life had been closed off to me for medical reasons.
The world today (and then) generally makes you feel guilty or crazy over unapologetic enthusiasm, and throwing yourself into fantasy. That kind of cynicism is very unhealthy. What's the point of life at all, if you are made to feel you don't have permission to feel or enjoy things too strongly?
You are a very good guy, Taeylor, and it helps to cheer me up just being within your enthusiasm zone. Thanks for being here.
