Firstly let's talk about me and steamgifts. Many of you could see that i was on and off most of the times, sometimes disappearing for over a week, sometimes even longer. As my whitelist might now, i had some pretty serious mental issues as well as suicide attempts. Here i want to say sorry for all the people that i've let down here on steamgifts. I truly love this community, tbh if it weren't for you and the achievement hunter guys i would be probably dead by now. I want to be a better member of all the groups i'm in, as well as the community itself. Back in the days i was quite well know i suppose, now i don't think that's the case. No more slacking and no more putting sg aside due to the stuff that happens in my real life. I have a year of messages backlog, over 1k that i will try to answer in upcoming days. I was reading them as they came, sometime answering, sometimes not depending on the mood. I was at a really low place back then, here you can see one description of the giveaway i made a year ago for my whitelist, you can see it was bad.
I've been thinking a lot recently, unironically the song that describes my feelings the most accurate way is this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho1LgF8ys-c). Every day makes me hate the world even more, i don't understand the values that motivate people, don't understand people in general. Every person i get close to either betrays me or simply says i'm fucked up. Guess i am, never been an ordinary person. Have no real friends, people i trusted left me, don't think i will ever be able to trust anyone. Since i remember i've been struggling with social anxiety and depression. I don't understand why someone decided that i have to live, if God exists i hate them for that. Tho i don't believe, just can't. Believe in nothing, have no feelings at all, all i can feel is pain. A pain that i'm inflicting myself to know that i'm still stuck in this shit life. Don't get me wrong, many people would want to have a life i have, but not me. I simply no longer want to live. Even games don't make me happy like they used to. Nothing does. Lost my sense of purpose and sense of life in general. The two things that come to my mind when someone ask me such a question: "What is the thing you most want from life?", simple
• to be loved
• to die
both simultaneously pop into my head. Tho the first one will never happen. I'm stuck with unrequited love, which makes my life even more miserable. Do i fear death? No, i really want it and hope it comes soon. Yet i'm too lazy to kill myself, even tho i think about it every night. I'm a failure, even don't have balls to kill myself. What for do we live? Dunno and that's my biggest problem. I don't know what for should i live. Been having thoughts like this for like 9 years already what can i do. Don't really want any words of wisdom or any help, that won't do much, since first i would need to find peace with myself and that just won't happen ever, just had to spit it out somewhere.
Tho nowadays i'm doing better, i think i finally have beaten my demons, at least most of them. I actually kinda want to live :D Only sometimes i get the "bad thoughts", but they definitely aren't as bad as they were back in the days. I know some of you suggested going to a professional, i actually did that, but it didn't help at all. Guess it was me who had to deal with all this shit alone, it actually worked out. I'm at 3rd year of my IT studies at Lodz University of Technology, probably going to get a job as a programmer soon, i love coding and having fun with various IT things. Did a site in Vue.js recently that i was proud of :D Also i think that the vacations that happened were really the best possible ones. I found a person that finally understood me and helped me getting straight. A person that's not quite so different from me, also has social anxiety (so she understands me, when it comes to that stuff, tho we get panic attacks at totally different situations which is kinda funny, at least to me XD). Later that person become my girlfriend and for once in my life i finally feel understood and happy. In two days we will have our 3 months anniversary as a couple :D I feel like she's the one, but we will see. Anyway coming back to the topic of steamgifts:
Huge thank you for anyone that participated, you really made a difference. For those of you that don't know what i'm talking about, click this link and read the description. As for the part that we did at our faculty, we've managed to collect food, cleaning products and various other stuff. The atmosphere was amazing, i was really happy to be a part of it.
When it comes to the online fundraising that i was talking about, the money we've gotten was spent on the furniture for the little girls. WE MANAGED TO DECORATE A WHOLE ROOM :D That was truly amazing, words cannot say how thankful i am that this community helped and that you people are amazing. Real heroes <3 WE DID MAKE A DIFFERENCE <3
You will see that we really made a difference, something to be proud of <3 And you get to see me driving a bus with a shark ROFL XD (also sorry for the quality of the pics, but can't seem to find anything better at the moment) Also last picutre shows the statistics of all previous events, you can see that gamers did their part in 2019 :D
This year we're helping out another family, if you want to get more information
It would mean the world to me if you could read and share the information among your friends! Let's make a difference together yet again ^^

If you ever feel bad, just remember there is always, and i mean always someone that cares. Even if it doesn't feel like it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, wish you that too! That’s possible, tho when you’re in a low, you tend to not see that :( and actually hurt the ones that do care about you.

Glad things are looking up for you bro. It just goes to show that sometimes it just takes a bit to start the ball rolling in the other direction(so to speak)
Awesome to hear things aren't dark anymore, and you're laughing and found someone special to relate to.

Yea, it took some time definitely, but at least now i'm looking with hope into the future :D So that's something good i suppose.

It's really hard not to let them win, it's a constant fight. But it's definitely better than it was before. Happy Holidays for you too!

wow, you had a horrible time and there is no need to apologize for that, since you didnt really hurt anyone on steamgifts i assume.
just glad you are fine now and hope you are doing better now and in the future!
hugs!
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel like i did tho, i've been neglecting steamgifts a lot. But i want to change that, especially since i'm doing better in real life. Real life has been dragging me down a lot, so it should be better now. Thank you for the hugs, one coming your way too! :D
Comment has been collapsed.

Hard times can only make you better and test your character. Congrats on going through those dark paths and making it out.

I couldn't donate last year because the website only accepts paypal but now I can. I'm so happy to see the pictures for the little girls and I'm glad that you were able to help them. I'm also glad that you didn't "end it" even if I don't know you but for example, if you hadn't posted this giveaway, I wouldn't have known about it and it's a loss of a donation. At least for a few minutes your existence meant something for me.
Man I'm so happy to see these little girls having a nice room for themselves, they deserve all the money in the world (that we don't have :D). I really thank you for posting it, you made my day.

Okay, first things first, you didn't let anyone down. Everyone needs time to "clean their own house". Everyone else understand that because they all have "their own houses". If someone feels like missing you, this isn't a bad thing, neither a good thing. Miss someone is a lonely feeling that should be treated lonely when the other person needs space. We all know that because, after all, we all have our "own houses" to "clean". Like any cleaning (or action), it demands time. We all know this demands time... because the house analogy. Just take your time and enjoy the time taken. People will slowly feel the joy of have you around knowing that you are okay. No rush, really. I often get myself remembering lots of old members here, people who aren't among community anymore (some aren't among us anymore, but that's life). Sometimes these old members come back or just get online again after like a year... I say hi and they throw me some updates, which is nice because they was just "upgrading" something in their life (yeah, gamer talk). Even if you take time to fix thing that wasn't good, you are upgrading something, just like you did told us you did. Don't try to get back in the days. They are only good for nostalgia. Look to the future. The future will bring the old days mixed with new days. Everything utterly disorganized and uncompromised, because, hey, we can't predict future. Now that you "learned" yourself to look forward, just clean the house, put things (old and new) on their place and do your stuff because tomorrow there will be more cleaning and stuff to do. Also, don't lose time with demons and bad thoughts. They really steal your time, time that you don't have available. If you give the attention they want (just like trolls on internet, alson on steamgifts - shhhh they are still among us), they will just steal your time and you won't have enough time to clean the house and do your stuff. Hope you got the analogy. Couldn't replace because the "clean" and "house" means so many things that is hard to explain everything or replace these words. Oh, congrats on the IT thing! It was my affinity when I was younger... Things changed and I ended up being a lawyer. Honestly, couldn't be happier with my choice. :D
TL;DR: No TL;DR. Read the shit I wrote. :D

I like your attitude to TL;DR.
(I also think you gave some good advice)
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad to hear that you are doing well now. I've been through some dark times, and it's important to know that things can get better. Do not feel that you have to apologize here. Taking care of yourself is much more important than giving games to strangers. Thank you for your generosity. Have a good holiday, and keep living a good life.

Siema, Bron.
I still remember sending you reminds to play games you've won as a PA representative ^^
Glad you battled through your bad times. And congrats on everything you have done and achieved not just for yourself, but for others as well.
I know that everyone's experience is different and we won't fully understand how each of us feels, even if we seemingly are going through similar.
But there's one universal advice – don't just be content with what you have. Always keep doing stuff or look to improve. Doesn't have to be something grand. Read a book, take up a new hobby, learn something, look for ways to improve your physical health, do events like the charity even you described in this post.
Happy to read that you not only worked things out for yourself, but helping others' as well (:

I'm glad you're doing better, sir. If I might channel a wise old cartoon baboon: the past does hurt, but we can either run from it or learn from it. A bit part of learning is healing, and you shouldn't ever feel bad for taking the time you need to do that.
Thank you for the giveaway, and best wishes to you!~ <3

Oh my god yes, been there, done that (or rather didn't do that, either way.)
I'm so sorry you had to go through all of this but I'm glad you found new purpose in life and someone who understands you. That truly is the most valuable thing in life. I truly wish you nothing but the best for the future 💙
