Dear Daul,

Your last post, ultimately titled "Say hello to Forever" has 649 comments on it, all by fans or vultures or weirdos or whatever. People really liked you dude.

Your writing was fresh and full of light and dark, i enjoyed your musings, forgetting your age. You were only 20! So insane.

Yeah, i know i never knew you but reading your (mostly) uncensored thoughts made me feel, i dunno, perversely connected to your lifestyle? I remember when you dyed your hair blond, and you posted pictures from the hairdressers and talked about how getting head massages made sure your hair didn't go shitty from constant bleaching... it made me want head massages too! You had a totally different style to most models your age, a bizarre and individual style that was incredible. I like how you described it as basically euro trash glam, but you always changed. I can't remember your exact line.

The editorial of you in the current issue of RUSSH was incredible. In the interview, you were so delightful, so Daulmonster. You had such a bright future, and your career so far has been phenomenal, and you were great at "fagging out" on the catwalk.

Carving a niche in the blogsphere with your life and work, you inspired so many average Joe writers like myself to step the fuck up- if you can spend hours and hours working on shoots and show and then write your hilarious (mostly) blogs? What hope do we have? It is really sad that you felt you had no way out, other than death. I know sometimes your writing was dark and insidious but there were always the hilarious bright sparks of Daul that made my day.

I'm really sorry about your death, I'm genuinely bummed out. Suicide is a shitty thing- it is a horrible feeling to think you have to way out, but out for good. Especially so young and doing something so many people assume is an easy, glam and luxe life.

Daul Kim you are beautiful and I guess you get to join that god damn club of "died young, stayed pretty". Anyway, I'm never going to stop wishing I was a hot Asian with bleach blond hair and an Isabel Marant fur coat. One of Dauls posts, that is eerie and confronting to read now, even if it is purely a textbook quote with telltale bolding. Fuck death.
"say hi to protons

The proton is a subatomic particle with an electric charge of +1 elementary charge. It is found in the nucleus of each atom, along with neutrons, but is also stable by itself and has a second identity as the hydrogen ion, H+. It is composed of three fundamental particles: two up quarks and one down quark.[3]
