An update for you all
🕑 Added 2021-07-01 01:06:33 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Just wanted to give you all an update on how things are going for me. Overall I am doing all right, just struggling with some mental things here and there. I am finding it very difficult to actually sit down and film a video. I think about making them all day while I'm at work, but as soon as I get home, I feel completely exhausted and opt to "just do it tomorrow" or "just film it this weekend". Then, when I make it through the week to the weekend, I'm feeling similarly exhausted, or other plans keep getting in the way. This sort of cycle of pushing videos further and further back has really been stressing me out and making things worse.
I really don't want to disappoint any of you, as you all have been unbelievably generous and patient with me so far. I seriously cannot express how amazing of a audience that I have. I am grateful for each and every one of you.
Based on the fact that I have not posted at all during the month of June, I can't justify charging you all on July 1st. I have paused payments for next month. This means you're still a patron of mine, and will still be able to see anything I post, but simply won't be charged.
Despite these setbacks, I am still genuinely interested in making more fun and exciting content. It's truly what I love. I'm just trying to get back to that point mentally so that we can all enjoy this together. Without a deadline hanging over me and adding to my stress, I think I can get there soon. I have a much needed long weekend coming up, and I'm looking forward to getting things going again :)
I can't thank you all enough. Just know that I am not going anywhere, and that I'll be returning as soon as I can :)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments of this post and I'll try to answer them. Or you could DM me.

Hope you're still doing okay! Executive functioning issues are the absolute worst. Regimentation and structure really help, though. Remember how much you enjoyed doing your shake challenges last year? Maybe you should try doing something like that again.

Theres no pressure to pump out a ton of videos, its normal for all creators to experience an art-block and we understand

I really understand and relate and its ok ur not alone, i have depression so I procrastinate a lot and it stresses me out but also i am just exhausted from work and mentally/emotionally drained. Just take it easy and do things you enjoy for a few days to hopefully cheer yourself up!

Glad to hear you’re doing ok! Burn out is so real. Take good care of yourself- you’re worth the wait!
Well, it might be because I am also a content creator, but anyone with a decent brain would understand. I personally struggle with it every month (and literally right now for the new batch of videos), so I get exactly what you mean. I wouldn't mind continuing being charged even during the empty month(s). Take your time, you and your videos are unique and worth any wait. (... if that's grammatically correct humhum)
