THANK YOU

Me gushing about how happy I am on Substack and how I really feel like myself on here and how I love you guys

Omg sorry to keep bothering you guys - I’ve been writing so much on here I’ve actually gotten worried that it’ll make people unsubscribe out of annoyance lol.

I already made a thank you for my paid subs, but I wanted to post for everyone. Thank you!!! Thank you for the support.

I have not felt this excited or passionate about something in a really long time. I wish I had started Substack sooner. This is what I wanted out of having an internet presence - I wanted a space where I could really share who I am, where I could make things that reach people and speak to them, where I could speak profoundly and meaningfully. I wanted a little community, I wanted something reciprocal, something where we can interact. I really didn’t get much of these things from TikTok.

I have SO MUCH to share on here, it’s actually a matter of stopping myself from posting three times a day. I have been writing for hours every day since I started this.

I am really optimistic and putting my all into this, and I am hoping that it can become the most successful form of my online presence, because it is already the one that I am most proud of.

I have been putting in a lot of work so make sure that joining the paid tier of subscribers feels really really worth it. We interact a lot already, I take suggestions/requests on content and brainstorm what to write about with them. I share really personal things, diary entries, lessons from my worst experiences and the best in life. I want it to feel like you are getting access to being closer to me, not just getting access to more of my writing. I really do care about the relationship I have with the kind of people who have followed me to this platform, and especially those who are invested enough in me as a person and my thoughts and creativity to materially support me.

I will keep working at this until I can fully support myself from doing it, and I know that sounds ambitious and a bit naive but I am faithful that something that makes me this happy and allows me to express myself is a basket that’s worth putting my eggs into. I see TikTok now as the springboard that could launch me onto a platform like this that I am so much more comfortable and sincere on. Don’t worry, I’ll still post TikToks.

But I just feel really comfortable in my skin on here.

Thank you guys endlessly for your kind words and support. I have felt so much warmth and appreciation and I have felt seen on here so much more than any other platforms. Thank you for making me feel special and smart, thank you for telling me what I mean to you. I feel incredibly close to the people that have followed me to this platform.
