Due to safety risks, I will be retiring. I truly appreciate all the years of support that I've received since 2015. From the child that wanted to be like his favorite YouTubers, to the adult I grew into, I've been able to make so many precious memories.

This decision was difficult. It was one of the most painful decisions I've ever had to make. I dreamed of having an online presence like this since I was 7 years old scrolling on the family laptop. I wanted to connect with people. However, with the number of encounters I've been facing with stalking, harassment, and targeting, it's no longer healthy nor safe for me to continue in my corner of this world wide web.

I appreciate the opportunity that I had to meet so many people from all across the world. Growing up, I didn't have the opportunity to meet many people in real life. I dreamed of traveling the world and living in a country different from my own. The vastness of this world wide web gave me so much comfort in those aspects. I've made friends and memories that let me experience culture in a truly beautiful way. Through all my texts and calls over the years, I've fallen for the diversity and beauty that humanity holds. Even as I write this, I still find myself wholeheartedly believing that humanity is the most beautiful thing in this universe.

Regarding my unfinished projects, I wish I could've finished the final set of voices for my UTAUloid DAIKI. He's deeply important to me. His purpose as a project was always to allow people to express themselves, even when resources aren't easy to access. I used to sing to myself as a kid to find comfort when there was no other source. The comfort I found in my voice is something that I never wanted to see end, even beyond the day when my real voice eventually ceases. Because of that dream, I worked to preserve my voice through each stage of life that I've experienced since I was 11. Before the day I die, I hoped that I could've heard every stage of myself sing the songs that they always wished they could.

With that, I just want to say, thank you. Even though I won't ever meet the eyes that are reading my words, thank you for reading them. Although my corner within the world wide web is at the end of its life, I'll forever carry pieces of it within me.

Sincerely, 

Fif, Mr. Fiffles, Fifties, Yuuta, and FiftiesYoungin
