You know I was just going to try to make a quick cute pun(not making light of your depression at all) but nothing I typed seems quite right. So, I guess from the heart it is. It’s hard moving, and I am glad that you stumbled on this new home. Welcome! ---

> [@TeeJay](#): > > received a PM from @codinghorror offering me one of his awesome care packages. I was completely floored at the idea that a random stranger had offered to send me something cool, totally for free, just because. I was excited when he offered to send me one too! At first I thought @codinghorror was a scammer and was just trying to get my address. :joy: ---

I, like most of us, am also obsessed with these hand gyroscopes. I have yet to get this worded correctly but I find great joy in the fact that I find inner balance through the balancing of a simple toy. It is people like you though that makes this community such a great place, and the community exponentially raises the positivity of yoyoing. What I am trying to say is @codinghorror, Thank you for being you! Thank you for being a positive force in this community and in my life. ---

thank you so much for just existing peeps like you are amazing. I agree with you it is impossible to be sad while throwing. Throwing has helped me with my pretty bad anxiety but the only thing is when I don’t have a throw then i find it hard to keep together which is why I always make sure to have a “hand gyroscope” at all times wherever i go.
