it's given me a family i never had. (even though it's a virtual family)

it's given me chance to connect with others, while also having fun by taking part in various distractions.

it's taught me that i can talk about how i'm feeling without being judged or made fun of (which before PC, people used to do all the time)

it's enabled me to help and give advice to others (even if i'm not really in a place to do so at times)
