May 2018 Update (Patreon)

I have now returned from being away on the film! Hooray! It all went really really well albeit it one of the most challenging and emotional experiences I have had to date!

I have debated these past few months whether or not I will be able to return to my channel as much as I have hoped to before I left, as many things have changed for me professionally and personally. 

What I 'want' to do for my channel vs what I 'can' do for my channel are two very different things! 

So after months of deliberation, I have decided that rather than abandoning my channel and Patreon completely  (and you guys!) I am going to be doing things a little bit differently.  Putting less pressure on myself to deliver to a tight schedule, and offering waaaaaay more than what I could manage! 

Being away for so long put so much into perspective for me. I could see it all laid out in front of me like some grim oil painting! I realised that this workload and pressure I was putting on myself was just crushing my creativity and making me enjoy ASMR less and less. I actually felt sick sometimes when I went to set up my equipment as it started to resurface all my anxiety and stress; and I just thought to myself 'what the hell am I doing?!". I don't want it to be this way! ASMR is my hobby! And you should love your hobbies right? Otherwise it wouldn't be a hobby it would be a chore!



So I am going to slowly implement some changes. What it will mean is that I will be scaling back on Patreon Perks and videos. I will be completely honest as there is no good 'tarting' up the truth! And I wanted to share with you my thoughts before I went ahead and did them!

I am going to scale back to only having 3 tiers: 



TIER 1 - $1 : Thank you! +Access to Patreon Feed.

TIER 2 - $5 : MP3 Download (plus all lower rewards)

TIER 3 - $10 - Handwritten letter and signed photo (plus all other rewards)

Unfortunately I am going to have to remove the Patreon only videos and custom videos as it has been brought to my attention that someone has been sharing these videos on public forums, which I am incredibly upset about. These videos were made for you guys not the whole world! So because of these individuals, this perk has been removed. 

I will also no longer be offering the KIK perk, as again, someone abused my trust on this platform and started to harass me, which scared me, as you can imagine. So again I will be removing this perk too, just for my own safety. Its such as shame as the majority of you were incredibly wonderful to talk to!

I know all these perks now seem really lame! And I really want to give back to you guys as much as you have me! But I must do what is right for me and what I feel comfortable with and of course, there is no obligation to continue your support if you don't want to!
 

I want to thank everyone who has continued to support me without any updates from my end! No words can describe how humbling this is. I truly appreciate it. 

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to send me a message! And I will get back to you when I can!
