Did a Thing

I did a thing today. It was beautiful and wonderful and right. It was completely and totally the Right Thing™ to do. I want to share what I did, but it isn't my story to tell.

It has been a long while since I've managed to do the Right Thing™ in this area, and it feels good. It makes me happy. It might come back to bite me, I might wish I hadn't done the Right Thing™ later, the thing affects only one person, but it was the Right Thing To Do™ and I am just so happy at this moment. I'm happy because I've made someone else's life potentially better. I've given someone else the means to pursue their dreams in a way I seem unable to do. I didn't change a path, I just hurried it along, and I feel wonderful about it.

I'm pretty sure that's what the appeal of Kickstarter is for me. It was way for me to say, "Yes, your dreams are worth pursuing. Here, let me help a small bit." Kickstarter has changed into a pre-order marketplace, which isn't at all what I want, so I'm not on it much any more.

This thing, though. It feels good. Even as my life has this giant rough spot where I keep tripping and falling and hurting myself, I have this thing, and it is good.
