Content

Hello, guys!

This post is going to be a bit different compared to my usual ones here, because I feel like I don't really connect with you enough aside from sharing my audios with you guys.

I am kind of living under this impression that my style as a creator is just... messy. I try so hard to make it worth it to support me, but no matter what I do, somehow it just never feels right or enough. I'll keep trying though.

But I'm seriously determined to calm down this messy side eventually and deal with it once and for all, find a steady rhythm and workflow. I want to be able to give you more content through the month, more exclusive content, videos included. And ideally be able to come through with voted options much faster than I am currently able to. I have so many fun ideas and concepts, so much drive and fire to make it all happen, but most of the time I'm simply limited by my housing conditions and the fact that I need to take breaks and sleep a few hours at night. Ugh what a waste of possible productive time, right?

I am not a content machine but a human being with limited inspiration and physical ability to get stuff done. That's not directed at you by the way, never. You've always shown me such immense grace, I couldn't possibly ask for a better community. But that is more of a reminder to myself, because I'm treating myself as a machine... a bad and very low productivity one. And as much as I'd like to have it easier somehow, I can't really let go of some of those essential parts of creative process and outsource them, like many other creators do with writing or editing. Maybe this will change one day, but definitely not for now. Because I love writing, I love recording and editing, and if I take it all away... where's creativity then?

All this to say that I know I could probably do better somehow, and I'm trying my best to figure a way out, tailoring it to my current situation. However, better days are coming, so I just want you to know that I am fully aware of all the parts that need improvement. Just thank you for staying patient with me and believing in me no matter what. I just hope to be worthy of your support and be able to keep pushing through until we finally get closer to the point where I'm making you and myself proud as a creator. After all, the fact that I can even plan for future and hope for anything better and brighter ahead at all is thanks to you and your support. So thank you for all the kindness you've shown me on this journey.

In endless search of perfection,

Solar x

P.S. I'm really sorry if this post seems weird or too much. You've probably never had to support such a messy and emotionally-needy creator before.

You're a Gem, I hope you know that 🫂

Hey hey, calm down. What you are doing is perfect the way it is, it helps me and probably many others to calm down the roaring thunder of the thing we call live. You don't need to do more, not everything needs to be perfect, cause in the end you're still human. And also I think that perfection lies within imperfection. Don't push yourself more than you need, listen to your body when it needs rest. You do so much for us that you deserve to rest more than you allow yourself. If you allow me, let this stranger give you a warm hug and tell you how proud he is of you for everything you did, do and will do.

No worries, after all, we’re all here in support of you 🔥

Brenden T.

Are you serious? I can’t even begin to guess how much time and effort you put into your videos or exclusive content, but it’s far from sloppy! I can understand if you feel some burnout and that’s completely normal and understandable. Don’t beat yourself up over any and every imperfections you may have; we’re all cheering for you!

Phan

It's a process. All the greats go through it. A balance between holding yourself to a higher standard and being proud of what you accomplish so you can chase that standard😂. I love what you put out into the world and many many others do too. Here's hoping this post can send some peace and positivity that you create back to you! We don't say good luck, we say don't give up! You are doing amazing things only you can do!❤️

You gonna make me cry now 😭🫂💛 though feeling like a rock rather than a gem these days tbh

JkImAnOctopus

Your style is why we’re all here. Remember that perfect is the enemy of good, and that you need to show yourself some grace as well. We’re all human and understand. You’re awesome, and we’re all here to support you.

solargirlasmr

Thank you for the hug and all the kind words as well 🫂🤍

Abyssal Relic

Please dont forget that this is a job as well. As any job, you need time off ot you will burn yourself out so bad you want to quit entirely. Take time for yourself as well. You give us so much comfort, you should give yourself some as well

Babble

They are all rocks, you're a good rock, best rock, 10/10 would rock again

FlameZB

Don’t be too hard on yourself, your audios are always amazing and I know they take time to make. Always appreciate every one you upload ❤️

The Emperor of Ashes

You deserve it and don't hesitate to ask for more Huggies whenever you need them. I can't do much for you but just tell you how proud I am of you for spending soo many hours, just to help us.

Kurt

Solar, you are a fountain of content! I’ve never thought you produce too little — far from it. I would be still be happy if you took breaks to live life. Everything you produce is an amazing gift to us.

Scott B.

The fact that you aren’t a “content machine” is literally why I follow you. The care and attention you put into all of your work always shines through, and I’m happy to support someone so obviously respectful of the creative process. There’s more than enough mass-produced pseudo-content out there on the Internet, especially these days, so I hope you can be a little kinder to yourself and realize that what you consider “messiness” is actually authenticity, and it’s why we’re here for you. 💖

Dan Banks

dont worry about being needy, i feel like a good number of us would've be here if we werent also emtionally needy 😭😭😭😭😭

Anton Mattsson

Solar my love!😭 You’re my favorite content creator ever, and I want you to be proud of what you’ve accomplished! But I agree with you on your point about a more structured schedule, it takes away a lot of the stress, I would hate if you got burnt out or work late hours. My advice would be to take a short break and maybe try to figure out a little schedule for some weeks/months ahead. Anyways, I love you and your content dearly and I appreciate you so so much! Take care of yourself🥺💖🫂

Seltsam

I feel like you're a little too hard on yourself. I understand wanting to create more and that you're limited in your capabilities to do that, but at least to me, what you're doing right now is perfect. You put so much time, care, and effort into your audios to making sure that they are the best they can be, with the sound effects, the triggers etc., and this of course takes time. We recognize and understand that, hence why we're patient with it because we know it'll be worth it in the end. Not having a regular schedule meant that it was not 100% clear on when the next upload will be and I'm on board with this because of how good the quality of your content is. It leaves me in anticipation and excitement of the next time you upload. It really is an understatement to say that every time you upload, doesn't matter where, I get ecstatic and excited and, if I can, I start listening straight away because I want to know what you have cooked up. At the end of the day, you're still human and these audios need time to make. Even though you think it's not enough, we'll do our best to assure you that what you have right now IS enough for us. Never forget that you do excellent work as always Solar!♥️♥️♥️

Scorp

You're being hard to yourself, you are more than enough ! Your content is amazing and i'm still in love with the kitsune wife series, months after. Soothing, full of love and yes, a bit needy and that's why i love it ❤️ Enjoy your life and try to not pressuring yourself that hard, it's all right 🫶

Seth-B343

Creator? No. More trying to support myself in a similar fashion, so I can definitely empathize. Take your time.

Branded

Hey Solar, Trust me when I say that I know how you feel very much. It's something I've struggled with for a long time and I often still have moments where I just want to curl into a ball and disappear because I feel like I'm not good enough or doing enough. You absolutely aren't alone feeling the way you do. In light of that, and pardon me for getting a bit religious here, but you don't need to chase perfection. There has only been and will only ever be one perfect being that walked this Earth He made, and chasing perfection (take it from me as someone that used to completely define himself in the chase for perfection) will only lead to heartbreak in the end. I say this because you don't have to be perfect, you don't have to get everything right or have every little thing you do please everyone around you. I say this because how you are here and now is the woman that's touched my life in such a way that I feel blessed to know her. You're the little solar bean that seems to always somehow know when I'm having a bad day and post or do a silly to get me smiling again. Your sleep aids help me sleep soundly though the nights and your voice soothes even the most vicious of moods I might be in. I say this Solar, because who you are here and now is the woman that I'm so very glad I've had the good fortune to know. So take your days a step at a time, know that you have a loving community at your back and that all of your little imperfections are what make you the beautifully bright and shining soul that we've all come to know.

As someone who also struggles with seeing himself as more than a machine and ceasing to view the machine as the ideal, I greatly sympathize with this. I don't have an answer or a cure that will work for you, as I am still searching myself. Maybe it's okay to be messy or have portions of one's life that are more chaotic than others.

Crescendo

Take it from someone who did push myself that much and burnt out at work to the point of mental crisis: It’s not worth the “Rockstar Developer/Creator” to push yourself that hard. There is more to life than us (the audience).

Kajim

Don't worry, you are awesome 🫂 I'm grateful for your work and that's why I'm here. Of course I'm glad for every exclusive that you upload, but I only see these as a (really nice) bonus 🤩 I'm supporting you here as a thank you, for the mental support that you gave me through your uploads over the last year 💜🫡

Moh

You’re my favorite ASMR artist ever 💛 please don’t be so hard on yourself, your creativity and warmth mean more than you know, and we’re so grateful for all you share with us. You’re already an inspiration to us, and we deeply appreciate you, always here supporting you🫂.

Christopher Riley

Your awesome miss solar we are lucky to have you in our lives. I will always support you. Thank you for everything you do for us. Keep up being awesome 💖

TideHunter97

We're all here for you Solar, don't beat yourself up, you are spectacular! You've have been by far my favourite asmr artist that I ever imagine and audios are absolutely amazing 🫂

Mr_Master501

You say, you are messy? I say: I don't care. As long as your content is this good, I will not question how it comes into existence. Furthermore I don't think that it matters to anyone here how often we get specials or if we get any at all, as long as the content stays at its incredible quality. And for this you are the most/only important person because without you, we wouldn't have any of this (sometimes goofy) content. Don't pressure yourself into over-working yourself. PS: I kinda like that messy style, that way you never now what comes next or when it comes. Makes it more interesting I think.

WillowTheMachine

I get wanting to schedule some more content out, but I think it could be even more stressful. I can see some different scripts coming your way. I think you're great at editing and voice acting (and writing but It can definitely be draining). What I love about your ASMR is that they aren't too similar to each other. Each one has different personalities with different stories and voice acting. many other ASMR YouTubers that i've listened to kind of do the same thing with the same characters. Your characters are always different in different situations. One of my favorites, older girlfriend character/trope has quite a few audios, but I feel like she's unique every time trying new things, whether its with her voice or its cuddling in bed, laying in her lap or getting whispers before bed. whatever you decide to do is up to you, but quality is most important. Scheduling could improve it or make it worse, it's up to you if you want to make more audios but I can see it overwhelming one person, even with good intentions. I'll support whatever you decide to do, Solar. your audios are truly amazing!

Artey

I have a few thoughts on this. I think being self-critical and taking time to reflect on oneself is a valuable skill, even if it means never really being content with oneself. However, I think it shouldn't take overhand and totally warp your self-perception. I also make content, but I don't make money off of it, so maybe I can't put myself in your shoes. Even then, I think the "what" is way more important than the "when". Of course, the YouTube algorithm may disagree. But I would never outsource work where I can leverage my creativity instead of giving it away. So, yeah, if you hadn't written this text, I would have had no clue this was bothering you. I can see there are some issues, but from the outside, I think it doesn't look so bad.

Common Sense, Bane of Humanity

Honestly, you're the best I've listened to. Every character has their own personality, and is different from each other. All that matters is that you do what's best for you. Please don't burn yourself out, you've got an awesome community that loves you and is very accepting, which is very rare these days. Do what's best for you, take a break if you need to. Messy or not, I'm still here. I may not comment nearly as often as I used to, but that's because i got personal stuff going on. But I'm still here :)

Star Dust

No matter where you explore on your journey, I see it as a privilege to be given the opportunity to experience it with you. As we all journey along our path of self improvement and expanding our horizons, there’s always room for improvement. But that improvement doesn’t mean what we did previously was “bad”. Every thing you make is wonderful and beautiful and it’s always a treat to see anything you put your heart and soul into! Keep taking steps forward, and work with confidence that we’ll all be here to catch you if you ever stumble 💕

As someone who struggles a lot with productivity - a desire to do things, get things done, create things, its a good reminder that we are human. We need breaks, we need to do other things so that the creativity can flow. "pouring from an empty cup" so to speak. Recognizing these things is the first step to reconciling with it. It's a part of us - but you shouldn't feel guilty for needing to take time for yourself either. Life is meant to be messy - we aren't meant to have it all figured out all at once. We can only due the best we can with what we have and what we know. My motto has always been something along the lines of: "We are meant to be, when and where we are meant to be - and not a moment sooner"
