I just want to say I'm so happy for you. A while back I found you on YouTube and I ended up signing up for substack on a whim because of you. I have only recently started feeling comfortable commenting online so I never really got to tell you. Thank you. If anyone deserves this, it's you. I hope things continue to get more and more awesome for you

Wow, Well done! I only just discovered you a week ago, but I want you to know that you really helped me to just say F-it (in a nice, happy way) and resurrenct my old Substack. It's wayyyy early days, but I've published twice this week and even gained a few followers -- so thank you so much. You're more than tick-worthy. I'm so glad I subscribed to you! Keep on shining.
