Hi my friend!!!
It’s been about a year now since I started following you and your stories, and I just wanted to share a few things with you.
I remember discovering TØP back in 2024 when the Clancy album came out, and I instantly fell in love with their story, songs, and the Christian context. I’ll always remember a hot summer night in 2025 when I was searching for a story about the lore. That’s how I found Failed Perimeter Escapee. It was the first story I had read on Wattpad in a long time. I was still struggling with my English back then (it’s still a bit the case but anyway), taking a lot of time on just one chapter, but I deeply appreciated following your updates and talking with you about it. It’s a beautiful moment I’ll never forget.
Later, I saw you had written a story about Tyler. I was a bit nervous at first because I was struggling with OCD too, but I was so obsessed with your writing style that I decided to read it anyway. It was the best decision ever! I am eternally grateful to you for giving me hope again, because I feel so deeply connected to the character.
Anyway, I just want to thank you again. I've had such a wonderful time discovering your universe and talking to you. I will always support you and I wish you all the best!
Fun fact: I remember when you shared that you met Tyler Shapard, and I told you I hoped to see TØP live one day... well, my dream is finally coming true next week! I'm actually going to see them live! Haha, okay, I'm talking way too much, sorry.
I will always pray for you. You’re amazing and you deserve the absolute best. Take care of yourself! I just really wanted to share all of this with you. :D

Awww honestly, you’re making me tear up. Reading your words here is like listening to Leave The City from the 4minute mark to the end, such a warm feeling, and a deep pride, like thanking life for letting me keep going just to discover people like you. It really touched me that sometimes you keep going because you know i will be here. That’s not strange at all! I mean, if it is, I’m proud to be strange too. Yeah, that’s right, we don’t know each other in real life, but I consider you a friend too. I know that’s probably the thing I say the most to you, sorry, but thank you.
Yeah, I know July 5th, when I will see them, will be a memorable day!
Sorry if I’m being too emotional, or if my messages always come off as too soft, cute and kind but I just feel the need to express it haha. This is it, you created places and characters that feel like home, like TØP, and it means the world. :)

OMG!!!! I can’t believe it’s been a fully year since then.
I remember early on showing my fiancé some of your comments and how excited I was about someone connecting so strongly to what I had written. Sometimes I’d even just read out your comments while he cooked dinner for us and we’d talk about how we’d think you’d react to the upcoming chapter. It’s weird to think that we’ve never met, but I really do consider you a friend at this point. Strange, I know. I cannot tell you the amount of times I’ve pushed on because I knew, even if no one else read it, I wanted to at least put something out because I knew you would. That’s such a comfort when sharing your art, knowing at least one person sees it and cares about. Not just for an ego boost or for praise, but because it always makes me feel connected to you.
I’m so excited to hear you’re going to get to see them live. Obviously this band means the world to us, but seeing one of their shows is a fully different experience. I cannot overstate how much of a euphoric high you gain from it, that intense feeling of connection with everyone in the crowd and with the boys themselves. Furthermore, it’s made all the sweeter because my experience with other clikkies has always been deeply warm and kind. Everyone is so nice and so friendly. I truly hope you have the time of your life!!!
Thank you fren!!! I will keep you in my prayers as well, and do my best to write and create worlds and characters that feels like home for us.
