Hi alia,

umm...
I knew your stream from a friend of mine, even though I never really followed your stream, but let it be known, you have fans from the other side of the world (Indonesia).
But as you said, words are just words.. I can't help you from Indonesia..
All the best of luck! Don't give up on your dreams.

Best of luck man, I've been lucky to have people support me and stand by me while I didn't make a cent from streaming and commentating for a good 6-8 months (and was just in university failing classes, and ultimately dropping out). I can't imagine what it'd be like if I didn't have the support of my family financially, and some close friends for other things. The situation you are in sucks, and I wish you all the best. I did the same as you, and coulda ended up the same (homeless) just as easily and not be where I am without things going my way, I really hope you catch a break soon.
To die will be an extraordinary adventure

Alia, don't worry about what the people who were there before think. I was, and I don't think any worse of you. Rather, I'm sad that things didn't work out better. I can't imagine that anyone would feel differently.

What you paid back to me was worth way more than the few dollars I chipped in. I know you are a good person because you showed yourself to be one then.

People are saying you put yourself there, and I'm not sure I agree. I have two fancy college degrees and a job and still get to play dota or listen to records most of the day and it's because of the generosity and support of my parents. Parents, I might add, who would have supported me if I really loved a game so much that I wanted to try my hand at doing it as a job. Sure the tolerance runs out eventually, but to me it sounds like you aren't in the same situation so how can I blame you?

If you really need a month's rent so you can find anything, do a fundraiser. I will be there. Not to give money to you as charity or out of pity, but to pay you back for what you did above what you owed me the first time.
Those small maps were like a boxing match in a phone booth.

Stay strong! I know who you are, and even if you weren't the best the effort mattered. I don't know you personally, but you seem like a dedicated and hardworking person who can set his mind on a goal and go for it. Life will be okay =)

As a huge fan I have to say that I am very sad to see you go. If you had been a partner I would have subscribed in a heartbeat.

Loved your stream; you talked analytically about your actions, discussed possible outcomes, and expounded on common strategies. You, Barney, and sing are my all time favorite, and I was kinda bummed this past month without your stream.

Best of luck man. You can pull through this; it's only a rough patch, though it may seem impossible now.
