🌙 #ThankYouPatrons ✨ [LOOΠΔbirth] Giveaway (Patreon)

Today is the annual #ThankYouPatrons day, while I'm not sure if that is an official term, I would still very much like to express my gratitude to you all.

I joined Patreon this summer and have been using it a little over 5 months now. Initially I joined because I wanted a more private platform where I could share my live stage reactions, since those got blocked on YouTube. I picked the lowest pledge amount possible because that's what I felt most comfortable with and I still do.

I instantly saw some of your names I used to see in the comments on YouTube making their pledges to me - some of you even pledging more than $1. I cannot describe how humbled and supported this makes me feel - thank you! You're all wonderful.

Over time I have slowly learned how I want to use Patreon and what I want to share here. I'm still learning and figuring it out, to be honest. I'm trying to have fun with it and not feel too pressured - this is also one of the reasons for having only the $1 tier.

One of the best experiences of my life was this August when I got to travel to Korea for LOOΠΔ's Debut Concert on August 19th. 3 months ago today! I’ve never been so nervous about anything in my life.. except maybe the moment before I was going to pull out my wisdom teeth.

A little background;

I joined the fancafé and later the fanclub - that way I had early access to the concert tickets. I hadn't booked anything in advance (flight, hotel) because I wanted to see if I could get my hands on a ticket first. The tickets sold out in 2 minutes, was it? I was one of the first to buy 2.  I hadn't planned to buy 2, but the moment I got the option I just did it.

"I don't want to go alone!" I realized in this moment. It was like it suddenly became real. After that, I was looking at hotels for a good few days. Booking.com was my best friend. Speaking of, Hanna was on board to go with me to the concert. Thank GODDESS, I didn't have to make such a long journey on my own! We ordered the plane tickets and it was officially decided. I even got my first offer for a sponsorship from the Amino app - I took this as a sign.

As I'm writing this I realize there's a lot more to say on this, but I'll save it for another time if you're interested. Maybe a book? (Hi) High hopes, Johan!

What I want to say with this is that it couldn't have been done without you all - and especially one of you who made a very generous donation for this trip. I'm not sure if they want me to say their name for privacy reasons, but they know who they are. 🌙💕

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have you all liking what I do enough to support it like this. From the bottom of my Orbit heart - thank you so much. Every little bit helps. Many pebbles can become the weight of a boulder! You're my pebbles. In a good way! Like how many candles can become a big fire? I should have thought more about this saying... We're strong together, is what I'm trying to say! I'm so cheesy.

I want to give back. Since this amazing experience had not been possible without all of you, and I think it's safe to assume that we're all Orbits here - I think it's fair that I share my experience by sending each of you a small token of gratitude. If you've seen my LOOΠΔbirth Haul video you know that I got a lot of goodies from it. You should all get to have your own, I say. I'm not sure about the rules of giveaways, but oh well. Arrest me, Patreon police!

And how incredibly fitting is it that it was 3 months ago, today?! I love numerology, it's so LOOΠΔ! I'm not sure how much the transport fee will be but you will probably have to pay that yourself, depending on where you live. It shouldn't be more than a couple of dollars, though.

If you're interested then leave a comment or message me with a few options on what you'd like to have from this video (keep it small enough to fit in an envelope, please!) and maybe leave a comment saying what made you want to become my patron in the first place? I think you can fill out your address when you make a pledge to me, so I know where to send it. Oh, and I've recently realized that it's called patron/patrons and not patreon/patreons, so.. Yay me!

I hope you enjoyed reading this and, for the last time, thank you for supporting me on my Patreon. I love you all. 💕
