Aw, Sarah. You are not an imposition or abnormal. You are Sarah Hightower, the best in the extremism business. The dabbing anime Nixon enjoyer.

I can't do the extremism thing anymore. I can't handle it. I was right about nearly every single thing I was admittedly also histrionic about. I cannot continue to watch it get worse. I cannot continue to watch everybody* make it worse. *Not literally every single other person. General observation.

You don't have to do anything that causes you pain. Life is too short. Your first duty is to your own health.

The power is in you, Sarah. Friends help along the way, but within you is the power to move mountains and change your stars. I’m just here whenever you need someone to talk to or whatever. Just another boring person on this dustball called earth. We gotta take care of each other.

I’m glad you exited the extremism thing, I’m glad you’re choosing life and doing your best. I had to exit too you know for similar reasons. You deserve rest and relaxation.

I think anyone who follows you understands because we all saw you be right about every single thing and between the content itself and the reaction to your trying to share the content it's impossible for it to have not taken a toll. Whatever you need to do for yourself, Sarah, do it.

That said, I think I've told you before when we've touched on it briefly and rarely, but hit me up for social stuff sometime because we have scarily similar interests and my wife really enjoyed the time we were live-tweeting at each other during a wrestling PPV. We've always got toku and vidya, too

I turned down two book offers. The only thing I wanted to write was rejected because I don't have a literal fucking PhD in weeb studies. My work and verbiage can be found in at least 3 books. 2 of them even technically mention my name at some point.

That's fair. Honestly I figured it would be self-published for those reasons or others (considering people don't want to talk about this stuff, anyway). But the underlying sentiment is people here trust and care about you and your well-being and story. So I just hope you try to remember that.

I have been blessed with continuing concern and support I genuinely do not feel like I deserve.
