“Dear @zerodean.official I have been collecting your quotes and they have never failed to make my gloom a little brighter. Please don’t stop writing. It’s lifesaving.”

Elizabeth
“I want you to know you inspire me to be a better spouse, mother, sister, friend… a better person all around. Love you, your positive attitude & the motivational words you give. Thank you for being you = awesome!”

K
“[Personal details omitted]…Two days ago I went into your website and read your blog “Not everyone will understand your journey…” and the most amazing thought came to me while reading your words that just produced a huge shift (and a few tears), and I have felt amazing ever since. My depression has lifted, and I am so grateful for your written words, and for you appearing in my life like this. Your story is inspirational – I’m sure you’ve heard that a hundred times – but it really is to others, you probably have no idea. I am grateful for your story and your kookiness and uniqueness. I recognise the kookiness – it is very familiar. Keep being brave and never stop. You’re doing good stuff.”

Rebecca
“Thank the universe for you! Lately it seems there are more and more negative people, and remaining positive seems damned near impossible…however, they won’t win. I’ll continue on my merry positive way.”

CL
“I’ve been following your blog since you started and have always wanted to write to you. You started your amazing trip and blog when I was starting a new phase in my life and career. And I can definitely tell you that everything you posted on your blog and the adventure you decided to undertake when leaving everything behind and going into your trip around multiple cities, were extremely important, helpful and supportive to me since I was also going on a new adventure myself. …(personal story/details removed)… So THANK YOU so much for all of your inspiring posts, phrases and quotes. I’m sure they have helped and supported and inspired a lot of people around the World as they did inspire me.”

Jessica
“Wow, you are absolutely amazing. I admire you so much for having the courage to just “rip the bandaid off” and go for it. I’ve been reading through your blog for the last 2 hours. There are so many things you talk about and describe that really speak to me. So glad I stumbled across you.”

Sophia
“Thank you for the countless ways you inspire, sharing your experiences, your trials and tribulations, what inspires you. You are a brilliant light, steadily beaming out to the world, like a really big lighthouse! Thank you for doing this, for sharing your journey, parts of yourself in an open-hearted manner, which is what speaks to people I think, as it certainly speaks to me. It takes chutzpah every moment you do this, whether or not you are still as keenly aware of it near 4 years on after embarking in the ride of, for, your life. I am thankful for the quotes you display (often, I’m discovering, among my already favourites) and then your thoughts and how they apply to your, someone’s life. So a big thank you!”

Elaine
“You came around at a low point in my life. I was in treatment for cancer and pretty much homebound. What a wonderful adventure, Thank You Zero.”

Nicole
“I just wanted to say thank you for being such an awesome human being. I’m blown away by how full-throttle you are living your life. Inspired by your getting after the life you want and my own thoughts lately about just stepping out, putting one foot in front of the other, and seeing where it leads me, I checked out your website. I didn’t get very far, though, because I got totally sucked in to the Neil Gaiman commencement speech video. That was nothing less than brilliant, and SO what I needed to hear this week. Funny how life will throw you exactly the thing you need right when you need it, huh? Before I wax any further philosophical, I will just simply say thank you. Thank you for sharing – the video, and your journey.”

Crystal
“You have made many a blah day amazingly bright, and I love you for your courage, adventuresome spirit and your willingness to share it all. I will be right here following you and connecting with you whenever I can, for as long as I can, because I believe in you!”

Douglas
“I have to say you have always been inspiring and uplifting, but to know more of your back story is truly amazing.”

K
“Zero … Can I just tell you that your blogs crack me up, I mean laugh out loud funny which I look forward to every day. You are dead on and I am so thankful my girlfriend introduced me to your fresh wit.”

TK
“…Your quotes, sense of humour and positive attitudes are lifting my spirits when self-pity or just the occasional wallowing settle in…Much gratitude for your courage and initiative! You are helping me to regain my sense of humour about lost love, nomading, death and doing what you really need to do when there’s a plot twist!”

Schae
“Thank you for being you and Thank you for doing what you do! … You are always a breath of fresh air for me! I enjoy your humor and proses tremendously! They keep me sane, and I feel less alone in the world! Please keep sharing and caring, and being your fantastic self! What the world needs now is “Wove, Sweet Wove!” and of course your positivity, and kindness! You are a treasure! Thank you Zero! Cheers, Bows and Curtseys!”

Patricia
“Thank you for adding a smile, a laugh, inspiration and motivation to my day. Appreciate you!”

Austin
“Zero: While I don’t remember how we met, I believe it may be due to you popping on my news feed and your quirky post catching my eye. Your posts always brighten my day. Keep on doing what you do best.”

Sarah
“I want to thank you for all your positive posts, I actually look forward to reading them. There is just so much negativity on social media, it’s a breath of fresh air when I see someone who’s trying to also make the world a better place.”

Christi
“Um, I have become so obsessed with this page that I sense a restraining order in my future…It is great; positive without being annoyingly positive. Makes me want to be a better person.”

Kellee
“Thank you for being here. I, like many others, am going through “stuff”. You often make me laugh, smile, think and challenge me in some way. Thank you!”

SL
“I find what you do is amazing. Most of the pages out there are mostly filth and crazy pics with insane foul mouthed people commenting on them. You and your pages are a refreshing change to the usual garbage. While a lot of it is hilarious, it’s nice to see something different. I’m at a place in my life where I need as much of that as I can get. You’ve touched me in a way I never expected to be touched — and especially not on FB.”

Michele O
“Following you on FB has been fun, insightful, and quite frankly a bit of a blessing. So thank you Zero Dean…you’re cool and a goober (by the way, a goober in my family and circle of friends is the absolute best thing to be).”
