Transcript
Is probably gonna be me crying on the Internet again, but I feel like an asshole right now because I was in a meeting and these two teenage girls came to my good. And I can't just leave my meetings to go see teenage girls at my door. But I noticed that they left a note and I just started reading it and it broke my fucking hat. And without revealing who this person is, I rank I wanna read it because it's really, really, sweet. But it says, dear Mikayla, my name is Emma. I'm a junior in high school. Growing up, my mom always loved makeup, so I got introduced at a young age. My mom passed away from suicide a few months ago. And I know you have no clue who I am, but you genuinely helped me so much, whether that's just makeup tips or getting me through the death of my mom. I started watching your videos when you've heard I can't even fucking see. Hold on. I started watching your videos when you first started to blow up on TikTok. I remember introducing your videos to my mom and telling her how much you inspired me in all different forms. I don't even know if you're gonna get this letter, but I hope you do. I'm writing this to thank you for everything you've done for me. During the past four to five years, you've impacted my life more than you will ever no, and I wanna thank you for not making me feel alone during the hardships I have faced. Jesus Christ. I've always felt I could look up to you, and you made me believe I can't even finish this. And you made me believe I could get through anything, whether that's being surrounded by addiction, a lot of my life, or my body. Even if I can't meet you personally, I want you to know how much you've impacted my life. I wish you and Cody the best. Love, Emma. Bro, Emma, please come back to my house. Emma, please come back to my house. This is the craziest letter I've ever received. And if you don't come back to my house right fucking no. I love you so much. Clearly, you've impacted me as well. I'm so sorry for everything you've gone through, and I appreciate that you feel my videos are a safe space for you. And I need you to come back to my house.
