Many people express gratitude for my books, stating they helped them break free from their religious upbringing and articulate their feelings.

Traveling and meeting people who have improved their lives because of my work is one of the most gratifying experiences I can have.

Receiving user love letters, like one from a girl who credited Polyvore with inspiring her to pursue a computer science major, was a proud moment for me.

The act of writing a letter has become rare, making it a special gesture that signifies genuine connection and appreciation.

Finding my wife has been the most impactful change in my life, second only to a transformative night with God.

After experiencing loss, I realized that sharing my personal story publicly helped alleviate my sense of isolation and encouraged others to connect with me.

I believe that the greatest part of my job is being part of transformation in others' lives. Witnessing someone overcome significant challenges, like chronic pain, is worth any personal sacrifices I make in my mission.

I wrote a letter to my parents expressing my struggles with the company, feeling like I was successful on the outside but broken on the inside due to financial pressures.

Knowing that my project is being used by people to make their lives better is the best feeling in the world.
