I like it without a total count. I’m not worried if something I say gets heavily down voted (and usually it deserves it if it does happen). Plus you don’t get try hards who only care about making that number go up, and are just posting everywhere in pursuit of that goal rather than cause they thought it was worth posting.

I would be lying if I said my cats haven’t been the primary reason I haven’t seriously considered suicide. Maybe taking care of some living thing (even a plant) can give you a reason for life. This question hits close to home for me, and feel free to DM if you want to talk.
