Quick Update (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

So, if things have felt a little wonky or quiet over the past couple of weeks, it's because they have. I haven't had the time to really be online too much or have another consultation weekend or Darkroom, because I've been preoccupied daily.

After a very, very difficult last six months, something incredible happened. Yeah, something good.

I bought my first house!

First things first: thank you, all of you, for every moment of support you've ever given, which has made it possible to reach this point. I cannot overstate how incredibly important Patreon has been for my time on YouTube, and you've allowed me to do something that's momentous, historic for me, and was incredibly needed.

The truth is, I haven't had a proper home since before I was Nick Nocturne. The house I was living in at the time had stopped really being a home a couple of years before I even came up with Night Mind, and I was alone a lot in what was effectively a husk.

When I moved out for the first time, I enjoyed having my own place, but renting eventually gets you to a place of realizing how much not having a home gets to you. There were things I could do inside a house for the channel (and did do, a LOT) that a renting situation didn't allow.

And now, for the first time in my life, I'm a homeowner.

For the first time in over seven years, I have a place I can actually call home.

(It's taking a lot of work right now to make it move-in ready, but it's shaping up!)

So, that's what's been up: I've been spending every day cleaning, taping, painting, caulking, running back and forth to stores, doing handyman work, and the clock's been ticking a bit, because I'm moving in for good soon and the notifications have been sent. I still want to get a video made and out before the move, but right now, it's been all about tackling everything to make sure I have that time.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You've made a dream come true for me, and Graphi, my boyfriend. We didn't just want this--we needed this.

Thank you, sincerely.
