You started out as an act of defiance, but soon became an escape. For so long you were what I looked forward to at the end of the day. You were my secret from the real world, something I could call my own. You listened to me blather and gave me a place to keep my thoughts from those around me. I spent (wasted?) untold hours with you, but you gave me my sanity and kept me going when I was lost.

Thank you, my friend, for everything you've given me over the years.
