Today is apparently the day to give thanks to you Patrons. I feel like I do this already every time I post, but let's try to make you guys fully understand how much you mean to me. So if you are not into sappy posts, this is not for you.
Most of life I had no motivation to pursue anything. I felt unaccomplished, worthless, and had no real talent. I believed no one believed in me. Once I picked up streaming and found a passion for that, I was able to share a part other parts of me that I loved. Two of those main things being cosplay and makeup.
At the time I never thought anyone would pay for anything I ever did. But you guys kept asking and pushing to create a way to support these passions of mine. So I reluctantly did so with opening this Patreon, fully expecting nothing to come of it. To my disbelief, there was a lot of support from day one!
You guys motivate me every day to get better at what I do. It may not be a traditional "job" but you have allowed me to chase something that makes me happy and survive doing it. You have given me the support system I never had and I can not thank you enough for that.
You guys allow me to open a creative outlet that I suppressed for a long time because I never thought I was good enough. Whether that's through cosplay, sexy content, makeup, photography, editing, etc. You guys support me through it all! It's unbelievable and I am grateful every single day.
I may not have the biggest following or may be the most talented, but I work my ass off every single to make sure I produce the best content that I can for you guys.
Thank you for watching me grow as a person and a content creator. Without you, I really don't know where I would be. You are my pillars.
