“Time erodes gratitude more quickly than it does beauty!” ~ Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather
As many of you already know, I am Italian . And what you see portrayed in the movie is … pretty accurate. We hold some core values, transmissible from generation to generation. We like a healthy strong spine to keep us straight. And we like pasta and great coffee.
Anyway, the reason why we gathered here today is a... less happy one.
With great sadness I had to bring myself to discuss with you, my dedicated community that I adore, a very important issue. Let’s start easy with a dictionary definition :
fan2
/fan/
noun
noun: fan; plural noun: fans
a person who has a strong interest in or admiration for a particular person or thing.
I didn’t say it. The etymological root of the word does. Now this platform is only for … fans. I hope by now we are in agreement.
Let’s address the Elephant in the Room! ( fat one this one )
I took the decision to curate my following list. I do not wish to understand the reason why some people would stay here for months, showing zero interest in my content. I do not require an explanation, nor do I judge any of them. I already took the decision and moving with it every day.
It is, however, important for me that you understand WHY I feel this way . Not because of ego, nor am I bothered that my work is not appreciated . But because of PRINCIPLE. I started this blog with a very important quote for a reason. Because I do not tolerate anybody taking for granted my good faith and time, my endless kindness to reply to every comment personally and to answer every DM as fast as I can .
I took this decision as I feel it is not only unfair to me, but to those who truly are fans. Who support me, who cheer for me, who root for me, who have the renew on .
This is the kind of community I always grew and believed it . You are my daily motivation, my family and family is what matters most. Throughout the years we spent New Years, Vdays, My bday, Halloween and pretty much every day always together .
And now Cay is getting a little emotional and a little upset and that’s perfectly fine. Because it will be the only time I let this issue get any reaction out of me .
We’re moving in the right direction. And if you wake up blocked, baby, remember
“The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, lies in its loyalty to each other.” ~ Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather
I did my part.
Lovingly, Cay 🥰️
