Hey, longtime reader, first time poster, lol.
I want to say thank you.
My name is Nathan, and, while I'm not here to complain, I feel it necessary to explain my situation before I can properly relate my point, and just how meaningful it is, at least to myself.
I've been dating this girl for quite a while, almost a year and a half. We talked about children, marriage and everything. I spent more money than I had, gave up the things that were important to me in order to help her in her hardest times, and did things that honestly, sacrificed too much to list in order to make this woman, whom I loved, happy.
Now, I'm sure some of you understand. There's someone in your life that you'd give anything for. Time, money and attention, in order to make them happy. Still, some of you perhaps believe that if that person really loved you back, they'd just be happy with you, and you'd be right again.
But this girl had huge depression issues, stemming from long-term verbal/physical abuse from her father and others, and even rape from the boy she once thought would be her husband. I gave everything for this girl, and did my damnedest to be there for her, even though it often came between me and my life.
So, when I needed to continue my education, and she asked me to move to her university, as opposed to one closer to my friends and family, I obliged.
I left a career, life long friends and my family to try to start the next chapter of my life, just like so many of us are want to do.
But after all of my sacrifices, after giving this girl the world, she decided to break up with me the day I moved into my new apartment, in a city with no friends and no connections. And to make matters worse, she then spent a few weeks telling me that she just needed some time to get over her problems, and then she would come back, and often went back and forth between "needing space" to "wanting to come back to me".
This continued until finally, she was honest and told me she had been spending time with another guy, and was sleeping with him shortly before I arrived in "my new home". Dejected, I admit that I let this woman's actions put me into a depression.
Saddened, I spent hours at bars, in front of my computer, and laying in my bed, not sleeping. I finally started to unpack, and found my old copies of the first four books of the comic, and then, surprisingly determined, purchased the fifth. And while I read, something that I didn't expect happened.
I laughed.
I've read the first four books dozens of times, but they still made me smile. And the fifth one, with all new comics (to myself), made me laugh so hard, I cried.
I guess, with this lengthy post, I'm just trying to say that in what was a very sad and dark time for me, Penny Arcade made me laugh.
Thank you, Mike and Jerry (or Gabe and Tycho). Please, keep up the good work.
