This is not a standard therapy post, I just wanted to share some REAL therapy from a new friend. At Keycon 2015 I bet Binge and we had a great discussion about making keys, sharing opinions and strategies, and learning from our failures. We ended up talking almost all day about some new ideas and our ability to rapidly prototype them. He even gave a small talk about the trial and error he went through and how we should share our information and bring our own unique flare to this niche hobby of ours. At the end of the day I figured I would try to support him as much as I could. I bought a few of his caps and he gave me a few sets of blanks for me to sculpt on/destroy. I was absolutely ecstatic. Then he hands me this:

As I stared at him in disbelief, he said: "You are now in the exciting time of rapid prototyping. This is from when Bro was doing some rapid prototyping. You can see it has some obvious defects, because hey, everyone's got to start somewhere."
I am so glad I can say I am a part of this community.
I am so glad that I had a real form of Bro Caps Therapy.
I wish everyone the best of luck in this upcoming sale, but know that I am gunning for some space caps as well ;)
I just wanted to drop by real quick and leave another note on his awesomeness. As if you all needed any more evidence...
Primer: My last name is Bro.
I'm pretty new to mechanical keyboards and geekhack but one of the first things I found out about here was BroCaps. My first day here I was scrolling through the threads and saw this thread, "Bro Caps Therapy." Dafuq is this? I click to investigate and my mind...is...BLOWN. What are these gorgeous caps and why are they called brocaps? How long has this existed without my knowledge? Who am I? Deep introspective thinking commenced...I think I looked at over 100 pages of this thread that day.
Long story short, I stumbled across some incredible rainbow (rainbro?) stickers in the thread and messaged @brocaps on twitter to see if I could score some stickers or something. Of course he went above and beyond my wildest dreams and sent me this gorgeous Cosmic Dusk Brobot. My photo doesn't do this incredible cap justice.
