As a silent reader of substacks and youtube videos... this inspired me to try to connect more & tell my fave creators and artists that I DO read their pieces, I DO watch their videos and I DO like them!! This was a very wholesome read and as a 00 baby I fully resonate with it 🥹 sending hugs!
honestly, i am also a silent substack reader/youtube watcher at times, too! i'm so happy this resonated with you, thank you so much for the comment hehe <3 :')
loved this of course 🌟🌟🌟🌟 especially reassuring to see someone else call out explicitly their desire to create rather than consume content. i consciously started making videos this year - yes because i wanted to - but also because i wanted a way to engage online that didn't rely exclusively on the monetisation of my attention!
thank you avery!! ☆彡 you worded it better than i could — attention is precious and we must try our best to use it with intention :’) (((also im *loving* your design videos)))
You’re such a gifted writer, Tum! Thank you for sharing. It’s baffling how horrible some folks can be online, but remember it’s sadly just a reflection of their deep insecurities - and nothing to do with you. You seem like the world’s most empathetic and lovely human ever - keep doing you 😘💖
