Happy Monday <3 A letter to my loves <3 (Patreon)

Good morning everyone! I am hoping that you all slept well, drank some water, and are looking forward to your day.

I just wanted to take a second to write this lil post about the impact y'all make on my life. Recently, I had a meeting with some fellow creators talking about content and platforms and I truly couldn't shut up about how important my Patreon family is.

There were numerous times in the beginning of doing this where I constantly thought about quitting because even though it was never about the money, I spent HOURS and HOURS a week, full time job status, and due to copyrights (which is fine, its the law) I was making about $100 a month. Now, again, I was getting to make content because I love doing it AND I earned $100 bucks doing it! I mean, its pretty fucking cool.

However, I could see that the longevity of this love I was having was doomed at some point because I don't believe in sponsorships or ads. Talk about a real pain in the ass when youtube doesn't want to pay you, and you don't want to be paid by some random company. This caused a lot of stress for me. 

Somewhere along the way I really started trying to think of a way that I could make the content that I wanted to make, make money to sustain the amount of hours I was putting into it, all while adding value to my supporters on both patreon AND youtube.

Thus, patreon, a platform I had signed up for in 2018 and then never really did anything with, ended up coming through and saving the day.

Because of this platform YOU ALL have truly saved my sanity, creativity, and given me value. For everything I do, my first thought is about how my supporters ACTUALLY support every single thing I do on my channel. My youtube channel really wouldn't exist the way it does if y'all weren't here making my life what it is. I struggle to put into words how important you are all to me. I am always trying to do things to bring value to you in an attempt to match what you do for me.

I know sometimes I struggle to keep up with some of the tier benefits and so this is me telling you that those things won't be an issue moving forward. I will be adding Voting on month patreon specials, shout outs in the patreon custom videos for the shout out tier, and several other things.

I appreciate you all for what you have given to me. So many of you have been here with me through a lot of change. From struggling mentally, to getting help with anxiety/depression, and then adhd, and many other issue haha. I'm thankful we are all growing together. I really hope you know how much I love you <3
