It's really testing my perseverance at nearly 1500 pages, but I really love all the characters so far at about 600 pages in so I think I'll be able to finish it. I'm not loving it as much as It, though that could change

A few weeks later I was on a different medication and was enrolled in college and felt happier than I ever had in my life. I really hope there isn't a world out there where I took the other option. I think I've lived the best almost year of my life since then

It's a shame it comes off as a cesspool of hatred because once you dig past the front page and largest channels, there are a lot of people trying to do a lot of good there. A personal favorite of mine is Tyler Oakley; he's a good role model and positive influence for many young people struggling with their identity

The web serial Worm by Wildbow at parahumans.wordpress.com
It is truly a work of art and hands-down the best thing I've ever read. It's a hyper-realistic take on the superhero genre and it is amazing. Truly great literature as well as great science fiction and one of the freshest takes on superhero fic I've ever seen. It's a bit hard to read at points as it's not published traditionally, but Wildbow, the author, is actually one of the most prolific world-builders I've ever seen. His other works are also great I'll link to them all: pactwebserial.wordpress.com is kinda like dark/urban fantasy I guess and twigserial.wordpress.com is even harder to explain. There's also a sequel to Worm called Ward which I haven't finished yet but it's honestly even better so far than Worm.
