In this deeply personal and reflective journal entry, Dakota writes to his long-distance partner, affectionately called his "Starlight Angel," exploring the complexities of building a life together while physically apart. The letter serves as both a romantic declaration and a candid self-audit. Dakota discusses his ongoing efforts to clear his financial debt and his commitment to putting in the physical and emotional "legwork" required to be the best version of himself, guided in part by his therapist.

He also delves into his lifelong connection to the paranormal and unexplained. Blending pop-culture parallels (Lucifer, Supernatural) with profound personal experiences, Dakota recounts shared UFO sightings, visions of alternate timelines, and the protective, enigmatic presence of a spirit named Olivia who has saved his life on multiple occasions. Ultimately, the transcript is a testament to survival, the search for meaning in the strange, and the determination to become a man worth saving for the woman he loves.

Between analyzing potential EVPs over Zoom and discussing the psychic fatigue of visitations, he grapples with the very real ghosts of his generational family trauma. A testament to the power of human connection across distance, this tape is a raw look at finding one's footing when the world feels overwhelmingly weird.

It’s 3 AM, and compiling our old chats for the book has sent me down a rabbit hole. Reading through our messages from March 2024, I’m floored by how quickly you saw through my "Lucifer" act to the damaged man underneath—and loved him anyway. I’m reflecting on the trauma you helped me process, the protective fire you lit inside me, and the darker truths I’m finally ready to release. Amidst the heavy stuff, I’m also looking forward: the travel job is becoming a reality, my sister is actually helping, and I’m ready to escape the chaos (and Grandma’s army of cats) to build a future worthy of us.

With the house finally silent, I’ve found a moment to update you on the practical steps I'm taking toward my freedom—paying off debts, locating my birth certificate, and preparing for the new job. But in the quiet, I’m also confronting the heavier stuff. I’m unpacking my therapist's "two ships" analogy, my fear of abandonment, and why I still believe in the "Olivia Paradox." This is a confession of what I really want: both the mundane laundry days and the world-changing adventures. Above all, it’s a thank you—for giving me a future worth fighting for.
