Thinking back to #39C3 and the friendly creatures who I've met. There's a thing that I struggle with, still, and that's... randomly saying nice things to each other. I do this far too rarely. So this goes to out to all of you:

- Many of you have overcome their anxieties to approach me. I cannot say how much that means to me. I'm very insecure approaching "almost strangers" and if it wouldn't have been for you, I'd have been poorer for lots of great discussions, hugs + snuggles.
- Thank you, for the compliments, for all the nice words. You made my day. And I only seldomly returned this, despite the many beautiful people providing plenty of opportunity. I was just flustered. You look lovely, yes you!
- Thanks for the deep discussions about the wildest of topics. Y'all so understanding and I never felt like I needed to put my guard up. Unmasking, for 5 straight (more: gay) days is an incredible feeling.

There's so much more in me, but this #39C3 has been such a heart-warming event and I feel I'm so much indebted by all your kind words. I didn't and still don't know how to react properly. I'm overwhelmed by this kindness.

Sending hugs <3
