Wilbur's content quite possibly saved my life. I was put in the suicide ward late my freshman year (I'm a late junior now) I found this either right before or after (I cant remember which). We weren't allowed our phones or personal things, so my parents bought me a CD player and I had them burn some of Will's songs onto a CD for me. This music probably kept my life from ending. Even several times after that, it has inspired me to continue treatment, medication, and therapy even when I feel like its hopeless and I'm bad. Ik you'll never see this, hurt thank you wilbur. I'm sure people say this sappy shit all the time to you, but you and others content really did keep me going
