It's been another two years. In all honesty, I think about you every time I think about this website, and I really just want you to log in one day and be okay.
It's been so long now that I forget a lot of our conversations, but I remember ten years ago thinking you were so cool and awesome and I got dumb little butterflies when you talked to me. I hope, somehow, I say hi to you again someday just to know you made it out on the other side like I did.
I got married. I bought a house. I have a dog and a cat and a couple snakes. I have a good relationship with my folks again. I've held down my teaching job for three years and just applied somewhere new to make some more money. I even went on strike, it was kind of cool. I guess I'm old and boring now, joining a union and doing yardwork, but I would never have gotten to this point if it wasn't for you when I was a kid. You played a big part in my life and keeping me sane, even if it was just conversations through the internet.
I haven't harmed myself in several years. Not since college, at this point, even when I really, really wanted to. Haven't taken substances in even longer, and I don't rely on drinking anymore. I'm being very good. My wife is wonderful. You would love her. Everyone does, she's sunshine in a bottle. I think my family likes her more than they like me.
Life turned out better on the other side like they all said it would. I hope you got to see it.
With all the hope in my heart,
Dare

It's already been four years since I last wrote you. I still kind of hope you'll log in one day and see that I left you a message. Really, I just hope you're still alive.
I'm graduating from college tomorrow. And I have a job interview as a ninth grade English teacher next Saturday. I'm really hoping I land it, but I'm not expecting much from my first real interview.
I'm proposing to my girlfriend soon. I broke up with that other girl. Well, she broke up with me and started dating my best friend. It was rough. Relationship got really abusive in the end there and I had to relearn how to be a person with normal emotions and all. On and off again with drinking problems and substance abuse, but it's been off for awhile and I hope it stays that way. My girlfriend's name is Robyn and we've been dating for a couple of years. She's lovely. Completely lovely. Everyone who meets her is in love with her because she's just sunshine all the time. I already bought the ring and everything, and I'm proposing when we're on the beach in June.
Home life is good. A lot of the home life issues I told you about weren't true, and I'm sorry for lying. Things were rough, but I didn't run away or anything like that--I just really, really wanted to, and telling you about it made me feel better even when I couldn't actually get up and go. I'm glad I didn't--I can only imagine what little me would have gotten into trying to live on the streets, if I even got very far in the first place.
I'm thinking about changing my name again. It's been years now and Dakota doesn't seem like it fits anymore. I'm thinking of changing my name to Reese.
I got COVID. I was okay, but it was kind of scary knowing that there was no way to tell what would happen.
I hope you log in sometime in the future and show me you're still here. I hope you continued loving yourself as much as I loved you.

I love you, dear. Thank you for always being there for me.

I know you haven't been on in two years. Me neither. but maybe one day you'll log in and see this, just for old times sake, and remember how much I care about you.
I hope things have panned out well in the last two years. I'm starting college in seven days. I graduated with honors and I'm dating a valedictorian who's majoring in biochemistry. I also got $20,000 in scholarship money. Life has been treating me okay.
Time for some truth. My real name is not Daryl. It's Dakota, but not legally. I'm transgender and this account was my way of being a boy without anybody noticing. It was nice while it lasted. But I've come out now, and I'm getting a name change soon. I never had a picture up because I still looked like a girl, but I'm starting to be comfortable with myself.
Life has been good to me, but in a bittersweet way. I'll be majoring in education for high schoolers. I'm finally comfortable in my skin.
I don't know if you're alive. I hope you are. I hope life has been treating you well.
Sincerely,
the Artist Formerly Known as Dare

I don't remember if we stopped talking on bad terms or not. I think we did. But it's been three years now and I came back on because my girlfriend didn't know what witty was. I realize I never said goodbye, so here I am. I wish you the best of luck, Mel.

Hi gorgeous
No drugs.
And no drinking.
They're bad for you.
I miss you too. School sucks. Denny makes me and Jason go. I'm back to living with him.
I don't have a Facebook :/
Jason says hi. Love you too. He's been good.
I miss you.
-Dare xoxo

School starts Wednesday for me. I had homework, too.
I'm half living at home now. Things are okay, I guess.
I wish I could help you, lovely.
Try and be good, for me, okay?
Just chill out.
I love you too.
-Dare xoxo

Jason knows about you because I told him about you when he was having a hard time.
You have to stay alive, for me.
I missed you too, lovely.
And I need you to be okay.
And I'm here if you ever need anything.
Cuz that's what friends do.
Love you.

I miss you.
I hope you're okay.
I fell down some stairs and broke my hand.
Jason wants to know how you're doing,
Stay strong, beautiful.
Love,
Dare xoxo

How was vacation?

You're scaring me, lovely.
Is everything okay?
You haven't been on.

I'm never going to give up on you.
That's not how friendship works.

Try the sharpie marks, my dear. Sometimes seeing them on your skin is enough to make it stop.
Yayyyyyyy good job, darlin. I'm proud of you.
Have fun on vacation :3 where are you going? I hope you have a good time.
You're not fat, my dear, I know you aren't.
I love you too. I've been good, I promise, but you have to be good to yourself, too.
Have fun on vacation :3
-Dare xoxo

Don't get sucked in, darlin.
It's not something you'll be happy with later on.
I know you're not fat, so don't think of yourself as fat, okay? I promise you don't need to change.
No one ever needs to change.
I've been okay. Just tired lately.
I hope you've been good.
I love you too.
-Dare xoxo

You can't know cuz it's a secret, silly goose.
YAYYY for your throat
Pwease eat a little every day? For me? You'll be okay, I'm right here if you ever need me. Pwomise.
I love you bunches too, dear.
I got a couple movies today. And a wristband. Denny says its a late birthday present.
Stay string beautiful. I'm proud of you.
-Dare

You can't know where I work xD secret
You're cute too ;3
I don't like people. They judge. And they're annoying.
So I'll be here just talking to you and that's all ;p
Wuv you,
Dare xoxo

Hai
I tell you a lot. The only thing I don't talk about is where I work, but that's not important.
Use foundation or whatever that makeup stuff is to cover it, dear.
Tell me what's on your mind. You can trust me, tutz, I promise.
Things get better, my dear. I promise that too. You've just gotta keep your chin up high.
I'll always, always be here for you.
-Dare xoxo

Hai
Good. You're much prettier when you're smiling. I love you too, dear.
Why did you climb out your window?
I'm making better money than my stepdad.
I'm good to myself. Jason is too.
I hope you're happy. You deserve it.
Get some sleep.
-Dare xoxo

Haiiiii
Awh :( well I count as sixteen thousand people so you had sixteen thousand and four people that cared.
I left because Rick is a douche and he's mean to Jason and my mom just goes along with it. So I left. I make decent money for a fifteen year old xD
I love you too, darlin
Be good to yourself.
-Dare xoxo

Hi dear
I hope your throat feels better :( I wish I could sit with you and eat Popsicles and watch your favorite movies with you but I can't.
We're over I guess. I just up and left and I stopped answering her calls and she stopped answering mine.
Then go be with him, dear. If it makes you happy then go for it.
I hope you feel better.
-Dare xoxo
