Someone Posted About Being Depressed On This Porn Site And People’s Responses Are Unexpectedly Heartwarming

By Callie Byrnes,

If there’s something I stay far away from, it’s the comments section on anything ever. For some reason, the Internet brings out the worst of us, and honestly I really don’t care how “fat” you think the journalist who wrote that article is or how much you’re jerking off to that Youtuber’s video about Sephora products.

But every now and then you come across something so unexpectedly beautiful you find yourself tearing up a little bit. And I found that in a PornHub comments section.

It all started when one commenter posted about his feelings of depression.

Okay but why isn’t other parts of the internet this wholesome and supportive????

When the screenshots began circling online, it was definitely met with mixed reviews online.

I guess PornHub really is good for more than just a good wank.

These are the “Words We Left Behind.”

My favorite memories are the ones that never seem noteworthy—the ones you never tell at parties or recount to your family, the ones that don’t have a plot or a reason. There’s something in those excerpts of life, something so beautifully, achingly human.

These are the moments that matter the most.

These are the words we leave behind.

This debut collection written by Callie Byrnes is bound in a beautifully textured uncoated cover featuring gold leaf foil.
