5 Years Of Snakey ! Happy Anniversary To Me ♡

It's kind of crazy to think that five years ago I decided to make a separate reddit account (I had one for looking at paranormal subreddits okay LOL) to do some NSFW activities on. I had just been told about GWA and had zero intentions of doing anything besides writing. I was really looking for an outlet that WASN'T fanfic to bring some ideas I had to life and have a little fun in between 18 hour work days. yes, lol, 18 hours.

and then someone suggested I do a recording. which seemed silly but I decided it could be fun and so I pulled out my google pixel and recorded a short script during my lunch break in my car.

you know what? it was fun. like really fun. so I did it more when I had spare moments! this new hobby was so much fun I completely got lost in it. as a kid I had wanted to be an actress SO bad, I was always in some kind of theater program or playing pretend. acting is a kink for me. like you may laugh but it's true. so this? this new hobby fulfilled my soul on a level I hadn't experienced yet in life.

the other side to everything was people were REALLY into what I was making -- which added a whole new layer of enjoyment to making audios. it gave me the same performance thrill I had ridden when I was an exotic dancer. it's electric. I decided to start a Patreon (I had no idea wtf I was doing and this was 2019 so not a whole lot of other people did) and keep going. keep making audios. keep learning. so I did!

then covid happened and my "dream job" I put blood sweat and tears into closed indefinitely. things were going so well with audios I made the very exciting and VERY SCARY choice of giving this my whole self. it brought me so much joy and it was growing quickly I felt it would b something I would regret forever if I didn't.

so I did!

something that started as pure hobby turned into something I loved to do SO MUCH. through support from all of you and friends and family I made this my job!!! I get to wake up every single day and do something that makes me happy. I don't hate going to work. I don't feel like I'm wasting away. I feel like I'm LIVING LIFE.

did you know the roman numeral for five is V ?

so quite literally my V year anniversary is made for me. it's Victoria year! not to get mystical about everything but it feels too witchy not to.

I was awarded a cammy in February this year for ASMR performer of the year. I've hit SO many goals in 2024 and I continue to knock out new ones every month. I feel like I get better and better at my craft. I never stop trying to learn or better myself. I was able to go full in on hiring editors and artists this year, THANKS TO ALL OF YOU! ALMOST 25k on the hub, closing in on 10 mil views. I started streaming. I decided to start Vtubing and SO much more.

If you would've told me five years ago today that this is where I'd be I would've laughed at you in the face and been like "suuuuuure".

but look at me! I'm here!

I've been able to do SO many amazing things and be a part of some incredible stuff. and I couldn't have done it without the support from you guys ♡ today is extremely emotional for me because of how life changing this experience has been and continues to be.

I went from recording on my phone, in one take because I didn't know how to edit, in a closet covered in my comforter to now. 

idk but that is just mind blowing to me. I've come a REALLY long way and I've done it all myself. I made this what it is. blood, sweat and LOTS of tears. just lil ol' me.

and through it I've built such a warm and lovely community of wonderful people -- that makes me humbled every single day.

I never take this for granted, I know just how lucky I am and I will never lose sight of that.

thank you all so much for believing in me! whether you've been here from inception (A LOT OF YOU HAVE) or you've joined me along my journey -- I appreciate you and love you so much. you are part of this story, thank you for changing my life for the better.

I am in no competition with anyone but myself, it's what drives me. to do better, be better and take things from one high note to the next and lemme tell you, I'm not slowing down now. oh no. we're going bigger and better if I can help it.

2024 has taught me so much and made me stop to REALLY for the first time give myself some credit (were our own worst critics okay lol). I am actually good at what I do, I'm not a faker. I'm 100% unequivocally me and I stay to true to that in everything I make and create.

so let's wish Snakey a very happy inception day! it hasn't always been an easy road, it's been a lot of learning and hard work but I made it :)
