“I simply wanted to write and say that I have
never been able to put into words how I feel as well as you all did.”
“I find it jaw dropping how casual and straightforward you
are about discussing this stuff. I don't talk about it with anyone.”
“It really sucks to have a brain that wants to
continually sabotage you and keeps you from reaching your potential. Just know there are millions, and I do mean millions of people, that understand what you go through.”

“Knowing I’m not alone.”
“…if I can help them know they’re not alone, it’s
worth it.”
“If I can help people understand what it’s like for
people who struggle with this, it’s worth it.”
“In my community, the Open Source community, I think I
can help. So I’m going to try.”

Why “Open Source?”
“Where’s the code?”
Open source culture, open source community, is not about code
It’s about learning and sharing together
It’s about growing together
It’s about open arms and open minds
An open hand to help the next person pull themselves
up
Nothing I have ever done felt as good as helping
other people
Not without Grumpy
We make the world we live in
We have great power and influence in the lives around
us
What world will you make?
