Note: This tutorial has special meaning to me.
I've been battling depression to keep myself
mentally okay during everything right now.
I am trying to illustrate how I feel at times
via the tag. Maybe I can help others a little
while trying to copy myself. Mental health
is as important if not more so than
physical health.

Any resemblance to another
tutorial is purely coincidental.
