Briar POV:

Over the past three months me and Clay have continued to date and develop our relationship.

I haven't self harmed since June 27th. I've been very close, but never actually done it.
And today is September 26th. Which means I've been clean for exactly 3 months as of tomorrow.

I've been slowly getting better with my eating habits, and making them healthy once more. It's been a lot easier this time around because I've started recovery sooner.

I also started seeing a therapist to help me with all this things, and well as my trauma.

Clay still doesn't know about my self-harming habits, or the depth of my struggles with eating. But he does know I've been seeing a therapist, and he knows parts of my trauma, which is scary. But it's been good for our relationship.

I've met up with Emma a few times. And I've been getting better grades in school once more, as well as streaming more often.

Though I still haven't done a face reveal.

I am now at 10 million YouTube subscribers, and nearly 3 million followers on Twitch.

Surprisingly, the hate has been calming down. It's definitely still there, but I don't seem to notice it as much. It's been refreshing.

I kinda blew up as I continued to stream with the Dream Team. Whether it be on my stream, or one of theirs. It's been so cool to see my following rise like it has been.

Even though I'm still not the most confident person, I plan on doing a face reveal soon.
Most likely when I hit 3 million on Twitch. Or maybe a little bit before or after just so it'll be a bit more shocking. I'm not too sure yet.

I've visited my family a few more times. I've told them about Clay, and my younger brother's were pretty much freaking out because they're smart and connected the dots to realize that he's Dream. I haven't had them meet him yet though.

But I have met his family. He took me too a dinner with his family for his birthday.

His sister Terra, more popularly known as Drista, is essentially the female version of Clay.
His younger brother, Callum, is also very similar to him. But also has noticeable differences in his personality even though he's young.
And his older sister, Claire, is so kind. She was very welcoming when I was introduced. I know I was never like that with either of Atlas' two girlfriends.

They all were very similar. In personality and physical features. They all were blonde, Terra and Claire much lighter than Clay and Callum, who were more of a dirty blonde/light brown.

Not gonna lie, the similarities between the four of them were kinda scary. Me and my siblings were very different from each other.
