Joining the long line of other comments saying 'thank you.' At points in my life where I feel awful I've had a story, picture, or other source of media pop up suddenly that was exactly like what I needed in a deep moment of despair. Your work is one of those things for me, now. Thank you for putting it out there for other people like me that will run into it during a dark time.
Ty sm!

Me casually crying and balling my eyes out while playing after surviving a suicide attempt and after SH...
I'm glad you stayed <3
thank you... as someone who's dealing with a lot emotionally and started doing sh, this helped so much... I really felt like someone cared about me just for myself. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so, so much. -Kai
You're so welcome <3 There's people out there who really do care, come back any time you need.
ty, this game is really helpful and amazing... I know I will be returning to it whenever I need reassurance.
Thank you so much for making this game. It is so helpful. I have been dealing with so much and this honestly made me feel better. it might not seem like much but its so helpful even though its something small. Also, thank you for adding in mental resource pages.
You made a wonderful game and I hope many people see this. <3/p
you are so so welcome <3

This game made me realize that I'm not alone and people love me. You know I was having a quite bad day, but I really love the motivation. Thank you very much for motivating people.
you're so so welcome
I totally didnt cry
<3
How did you make the buttons shake? Ik its custom css but what exactly is it? I've struggled with quality css shake for a while
animation: an_shake 2s linear infinite;
& also set conditions for this at the end of the code under @an_shake! hope that helps :)
thank you! mind if i use it?
im having a really shitty day because of a mental breakdown i've had and this actually made me feel happy, thank you <
you're welcome <3
thank you for this! this makes me super happy! I return to this every morning as a form of affirmations! I really really love this and it has gotten me through some tough times. thank you so much for making this, and I hope you know that all the phrases are true about you as well <3
this makes me sooo happy to hear, i'm so glad you're making space for yourself every day. you deserve to be here, i'm glad you're able to keep coming back (seriously makes me so happy to be able to create a little safe space here). it means a lot thank you <3
this is very comforting and lovely. my only comment is in the web version (idk if this remains an issue when you download it) you do get some glitches with the text like repeating letters that make the phrases hard to see and are overall a nuisance. otherwise fantastic little game i really loved it :)
thank you! ah yeah, that's a bug in my coding I'm still looking at how to fix, sorry about that!
this was great! I did experience some weird glitches with the test overlapping and making it hard to read
thank you for playing! Yeah it's a little glitchy right now but I'm working on a patch for that :~)
thank you. i don't know why this helped when other things feel insincere but this one feels real. thanks
you're welcome, it's what I wished I had at times so I'm glad you could take something away from it. come back any time you need to
Thank you <3
you're welcome <3
very smooth. I like the mental health awareness. Good stuf
Thank you!! :~)
Dude it is very beautifull game for this theme.I aam surpsised.But i can't type anything in the box.How i type
Thank you so much!!! Oh no - what system are you using? It should type right away for you, for example if you start typing with "e" 'everything etc etc' will show up in grey text & you can type over that in black!
Could be a bug with my coding though! Lmk how you go & I can take another look if the problem is still happening for you.
Well i tryied again and everything work OK!..untill 9 phrases left.Cause after it was,everything repeated.
Oh good! Thanks for trying it again, I'm glad it worked enough for you to play a little bit. :~)
i just can't help crying(T^T)THANK u so much for creating the game
This is so sweet!! Thank you so so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :~)

Thanks for this, the choice of sentences and answers is very well done 💕
Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it! :~)

Thank you so much for playing! I'm so glad you could take something positive away from this experience. :~)
