What are you thankful for?

I’ve been wanting to make a post about what I’m really thankful for, and I guess today was a good day to write it since it’s Thanksgiving. I have a really hard time expressing how I feel, so I never really got around to writing this beforehand. It’s especially hard for me to put how I’m feeling into words.

I’ve had a fair number of deaths in my life this year between my friends and family, and I’ve also been dealing with my depression between just that and in general. It’s been a shitty year for me. What really has been keeping me going every single day of this year and last, and more years to come, was and is… Yogscast.

I know it sounds really, really silly to say, but I’m pretty a lot of you can relate. Every day after school, or church, tennis practice, even hanging out with friends, I look forward to coming home and watching content coming from Yogscast, whether it was the main channel, or the Yogs, and even Hat Films that I discovered a few months ago. Nothing could ever compare to how I felt when I was watching their videos. It’s weird how a group of “strangers” could feel like family to me. How a group of people could make me laugh and smile. How a group of people could make me feel not alone at all, even though I sit in my room all day by myself.

They really did save me. 

Though I tell myself, yeah I could never meet my idols and it’s a sad thought, so many people have told me never to lose hope and that it’s not impossible. I’ve been so lucky to be able to talk to Strippin, Parv, Rythian, Teutron, and recognized by Zylus, Minty, Sjin and Leo. I don’t lose hope.

So, a note to the Yogscast, Hat Films, everyone associated with Yogscast, the fandom and the wonderful friends I met through them,

Thank you so much for every single little thing you do to keep your viewers happy. Thank you for saving my life, and many others’. Thank you for being a big part of my life.

I love you guys.
