This is a really lovely piece of writing. Interesting to see all this in a timeline. I get so immersed in the day to day of it all that I forget about the overarching movement of life online.
Melissa, this is hard for me to say. I remember you as Shakti. I was heartsmashed and lonely at the time, but you made it bearable. I’ve always wanted to tell you.
I got myself off over and over and over again looking at you. You broadcast a vibe that said it was ok, it’s ok, yes please, please come for me, come on me, come at me,come for me honey. And I did. I came all over my keyboard and monitor and my heroin rig. Jesus, it was so sweet being in love with you remotely.
Now I’m wondering if you weren’t sincere. Please tell me it was ok, that every inch of your pale pale pale white skin was thrilled by the unstopppable response you pulled from our cocks, from our lonelym, underserved, undeserving oh sweet jesus I sprayed so hard for you. Thank you, Melissa, from the base of my lonely back-packed enormous load of jizz for you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Your low-res sceeenshots are miles ahead of other women. Freak out if you must, but please don’t hate me for being smitten with you beautiful, beautiful face and o God those fingers.
Yeah, I do get kind of lonely up here in Canada. But that doesn’t change the way I feel.
This is fascinating. I couldn’t have read this at a better time. Thank you, Melissa.
I appreciate your openness. It’s inspiring and encouraging. Thanks for your work!
I wasn’t too aware of your early years but, even without context, the chronology makes for a fascinating read. It reminds me a bit of this assignment on Learning to Love You More.
This one is mine.
Maybe it’s just the hippie-dippy mood I’m in and/or the hormones from being on my period, but this post brought tears to my eyes.
I want to thank you, and I’m not really sure for what, but just, thanks.
Melissa,
Thanks for such a beautiful, honest and interesting post. I agree with the commenter above — very cool to see this in time line form.

MM
you may remember me. you may remember me and still dislike me. doesn’t matter.
thanks for posting this. and for that same willingness to be naked (in so many ways) and to write.
occasionally creepy things have happened from sharing my life on the internet, but on the whole I do feel it’s helped in a million different ways, even if it’s only there for me.
Great post! Thanks for sharing it.
