I just wanted to say thank you to everyone. I read every comment, and your help has been far more than I'd hoped for.

If anyone feels like chatting (about anything, really), I'm "theshawwn" on Snapchat. If you email me ([email protected]) I'll happily send you my number for texting / Signal. Any other app is fine too if you send me your info. I'll respond to everyone; I like hearing about your life, so feel free to talk about whatever you'd like, or just say hello.

You're all so kind. I grew up on HN (I think I was 19 when it first launched as Startup News) and the community never fails to amaze. Thank you for taking the time to try to help. I owe you all.
