long post:
I've been feeling rather down about myself as a content creator and my "place" in the community, feeling like I haven't accomplished nearly as much as I expected or really being seen/taken seriously. I recently celebrated my affiliate anniversary a bit ago, and my community surprised me with a magma board filled with so many kind comments and recollections of our time together.
It was a complete surprise- I was in utter SHOCK! It really didn't occur to me how much I truly mattered to others, how much I impacted their lives, or how much I inspired others... I've always felt like I'm missing "something" as a creator, but seeing the outpour of love and kindness by my community gives me the courage to persevere and do my absolute best.
THANK YOU! thank you for appreciating me at my lowest, seeing the value of my vision, and thank you for inspiring me every day and filling my world with so much color and vibrancy. This past year has been so much fun yet so challenging, but I'm in it for the long haul. There's so much more I want to express and create, and I treasure each and every one of my Myuses that have stuck by me through the frustration and the tears.
I admire how resilient, abundantly creative, and effortlessly kind my community is, and I'm so proud of what we've cultivated together. Expressing my gratitude through mere words is hardly sufficient, but I'll continue to make you guys smile and laugh with every stream/clip, uplift your precious dreams, and inspire you with the absolute radiance you see within me. I love my Myuses so dearly- thank you, everyone, for continuing to support me, watching me do my absolute best, and enjoying what I create! Cheers to another several years of community, fun, and growth!~
