W O W!!! Now I can go in peace. All these years I've lived, I knew I was missing something; now I know what it was. I am SOOOOOOoo glad I found the answers to the void in my life. I feel so invigorated now! I feel like I might make it a few more days so I can share this knowledge with as many people as I can. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for what you've done. I'll never be the same.
