**IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! 🎉 **
I can't believe it. Another year has gone by, and it has been an incredible year. What have I been up to in the past 12 months?
Well, I fostered 3 kittens that I swooped up off the street. One neonatal kitten passed in October, whom I thought was going to be a foster fail because I bonded so damn hard with him, and I felt broken for months after. That has been my biggest heartbreak in all my years. I'm grateful to have had a chance to meet him in this life, even if it was for a short time. Thankfully, the other 2 kittens were adopted and are spoiled by their families!
What else? I reached 5,000 photos and 500 videos on this page!! What an incredible feat. And it's all thanks to you for supporting me during my journey ❤️ I know that, as a domme, I'm supposed to often act all high and mighty, that I deserve all of this yada yada, but the truth is that I'm just SO damn grateful. This work has changed my life in a million ways for the better. I did not grow up with money, and so I will always look at my success as something that I have been lucky to have.
This work has allowed me to have a wonderful nest egg that will protect me if something goes wrong, to save up enough for my future house, develop investments have been put aside that will eventually grow into my retirement since I don't qualify for an IRA, help pay for my sister's college, send fat donations to the nonprofits I support, and afford to spoil the ever-living hell out of my cats and foster kittens. Never in a million years would I have expected to be so lucky to be living this life. Wow… I often wake up with my heart feeling so grateful that it could burst!
At the start of this year, I dealt with another health complication flare-up that caused me to be in significant, daily pain through May, but I've been feeling healthy and mostly pain-free since then, and I'm already so grateful for that. Maybe it’s the pilates, strength training, more diet changes, the warm weather, my change in mindset, the standing desk, or all of it together, but I’m not going to take it for granted. I’ll enjoy every day that I have my pain-free movement.
Since I work from home near all my little markets that have everything I need, I often cook. Actually, I’d say that cooking has become my biggest hobby. This year I actually managed to successfully make chocolate chip cookies after 10+ tries 😂 I don’t know why the perfect chocolate chip cookie has evaded me all of these years, but I seem to have broken the curse, finally! I probably learned 40+ new recipes this year, ranging from Italian, Vietnamese, Thai, Persian, South African, Korean, Japanese, American, and others… I would probably make a great housewife if not for the fact that I absolutely HATE being told what to do and depending on others lol. I’m more likely to have a househusband!
Gee, I’m really rambling this year, aren’t I? Bah! Who cares, right? Only the real ones are still reading at this point anyway lol. Good job if you’ve made it this far. 😉
Anyway, all of this is just to say that I’m thankful to be alive and to still be doing this work. A long time ago, I used to be in a dark place and had contemplated ending things, so this is a huge achievement already.
Some creators see this work as a burden. Something that they have to get through every day. It’s an industry with a high turnover rate, and MANY burn out before they reach success. But that hasn’t been the case for me. Sure, there are major challenges here and there, but I’ve never questioned doing this. I’ve never even questioned putting my face out there. I just love this work, I love all of you, and I appreciate the life and freedom that this work has provided for me. I just… love life. Making it to this age is a privilege that I will cherish.
Thank you, all. Let’s have another beautiful year together ❤️
