Hey ciconia, I wanted to email you to tell you this, but there's no contact info in your `about`. So I'll make this public.

I rarely remember the HN articles I read, much less the comments, but today I found myself blaming myself on not doing productive things in my time. Out of memory came this manifesto and this comment of yours, especially the first paragraph. This is something I agree with very deeply, and yet forget about this all too easily: just being has value in and of itself.

I want you to know that your words have made a difference, have helped me remember something that's important to me, and I'm grateful for that.
