Me go crazy? Never!
🕑 Added 2024-03-25 01:06:30 +0000 UTCI am currently living at my parents house for the week and taking care of their cats. It’s a surreal feeling because last year when I had to do this it was one of the worst weeks of my life. Cats would wake me up three or four times every night, I couldn’t leave the house because my grandmother lived in the basement and was very sick, and I was basically an alcoholic.
This year things are vastly different, and it’s honestly just put me in a weirdly introspective mood.
My grandmother has since passed away, and I am currently curled up in the same bed I last saw her in. The basement she once lived in, has now been converted into an Airbnb and over the past few days, it’s become a quiet place to be alone with my thoughts (and away from the annoying cats).
All of these weird existential things keep running through my head, but I find myself embracing them rather than fearing them. I’m just feeling very grateful for everything in my life right now I’m grateful for the good stuff, I’m grateful for the bad stuff, I’m grateful for the things that have happened, and I’m grateful for the things that will happen.
I know this is one of the weirdest posts I’ve ever made but… Would it be too much to say that I’m feeling grateful again?
Thank you to everyone on Patreon, who has become a part of my life.
Thank you to the people who like the photos and inspire me to create more.
Thank you to the people who leave cute, funny, or constructive comments that make me feel special and seen.
Thank you to the people who are not interacting, but still choose make their presence known through monthly support.
Thank you to the people who chat with me and send me photos on Snapchat because it really helps the day go by.
Thank you to the people who take valuable time out of their day to sit down and FaceTime/skype with me every month. I don’t know how you all deal with my insane rants and my annoying energy, but I swear to God those conversations are what keep me from feeling alone.
Thank you to every single fucking person who has allowed me to do this crazy thing that I do.
THANK YOU.

I'm glad you can find positive elements in this situation. And I'm happy you consider us art of your extended family. I will probably have to drop down a subscription level, because $60/month ($720/yr) is a lot for me. But I do enjoy your posts, and I'm glad you're feeling the love tonight.
Nick Brown
We all love you and support you in good times and bad. You bring a light to our lives as well. I guess you could say we're "co-dependent" in the best of ways possible! XOXO

And I thank you for all of your posts. Seeing your smiling face & reading your posts help me take my mind off my own problems. Even if it's just for a few minutes. I look forward to them everyday. We're all going through stuff in this world, so please don't ever think you're alone. You inspire me! ✨️

You're welcome. I mean I'm one of the lower levels so I can only hope that maybe down the road I'll be able to move up a level so that I can hear one of those crazy rants. But I've always thought you're a great person, Mike. And I'm glad you are feeling grateful. :)

With you always
