I also totally respect the idea of trying to be authentically honest for your own mental needs! I am the same way with church. I was going to a church, and didn't feel true to myself because they didn't address the lgbtq community at all, and I am in the queer community-and also an ally. So actually going to a new church that is very lgbtq accepting, AND pro science. I 've just felt SO much better for not letting people at church try and contort me into someone I'm not.

I'm only now just going to start dating because I had such trauma in my past-mostly due to medical stuff-that I didn't want to unload that on someone. And now, through therapy, and medication, I do feel I'm better prepared to deal with boundaries, ect. I hope your mental health gets better more, and more!

2021-07-23 02:51:23 +0000 UTCI'm glad the video struck a chord with you! Hopefully you can get out of the burnout soon! I have thought about adding more tiers on patreon, but I have no idea what a good price point would be. Set it too low and I'll have too many requests that I'll never get through. And setting it too high feels bad too xD Not sure what to do on that front!

2021-07-18 05:06:14 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing your personal experience with us :) you talking about burnout really struck a cord with me. I’m a writer and after writing over a 100 works for a single fandom over about two years I got hit by burnout HARD. I’m still struggling to get out of it and I really hope you get the space and support needed to avoid it yourself. On topic of money and patreon, though - did you ever think of adding more tiers, so people can give you more money if they so wish? It could either be just a “this has no added perks and is only for those who want to show more support” or you could add benefits like idk, choosing a movie for you to watch. Definitely something I feel like could do no harm and maybe result in more patrons :)
