I'm overwhelmed with the outpouring of support, caring, and love that has been extended to Kate and myself. I'm not important tonight. What's important is that together, this community saved a beautiful girl's life. I'm in tears because of how many messages I've received telling me that I'm a hero, that I'm amazing, a beautiful person, etc.
I regret sounding like every hero-themed movie ever made, but I don't feel exceptional. I know for a fact that there are tons of people on here who would have done the same thing I did, if they would have known where to look/call. Danielle (anondracomalfoy) is to credit for everything. I didn't remember Kate's last name, and she gave it to me. With Danielle's help, I was able to find Kate's Facebook, high school, and hometown, thus contacting her local emergency hotline.
When I started my blog almost a year ago, I never imagined that I'd feel such a strong bond with so many people that I've never met. Tonight has solidified my belief that just because we aren't connected face-to-face, we can still be connected in our hearts.
Thank you for every single person who reblogged the posts, reported the hate, etc. There were a lot of anons who made a good point; attacking Kate's harasser with obscenities and hate mail makes us no better than her. She needs to be reported. What she's done to Kate is disgusting, but combating hatred with more hatred will not solve anything.
I'm not religious, but I'm thanking God or whatever higher power may exist for the wonderful people from the National Suicide Prevention Hotline and the police departments I talked to. They helped me get to her.
I don't know why I've received so many new followers, feel free to unfollow whenever. Thank you everyone for the messages, I've been crying for the past hour because of all the love.
This community is incredible, we saved a life tonight.
