I. Am. Home. (Please Read)
Added 2018-10-24 13:58:52 +0000 UTCHoly shit, what a whirlwind of a trip. While it was fun and filled with a ton of new experiences, I am very glad to be home and back to work. I travel a lot for work and conventions but this was the first time I was able to take a real real real vacation. One that I planed, to places I had always wanted to go, filled with things I’ve always wanted to do. I haven’t done this in over 10 years. That said it was a bit much. I got home sick very quickly.
Now with all of that out of the way, here comes some Debbie downer stuff. Because I was traveling I was not as attentive to my social media and that was clearly felt. I lost more patreon in that 2.5 weeks than I had in the last 3 months. People always tell me not to stress about it and that I shouldn’t always be thinking about it or on my phone and this proved all of that wrong. I need to be better for you folks. You guys are the reason I’m able to do what I love and I feel like I’m taking advantage of that. I need to be better for not just you all but me as well. I’m not sure how to do that, but I will start working on it. I truly feel like I’ve let you down.
I know a bunch of people are thinking “you didn’t let us down, you need to do fun things too”, but that mindset doesn’t change anything. I may may not have disappointed YOU but clearly a lot of people were let down or unimpressed. I’m gonna try and step this shit up. I can do better.

It is great that you wish to improve. All people should have such a desire. It does suck to hear that you lost support simply got going on vacation. All people are entitled to take a break, and for "fans" to withdraw their support says more about them than it does about you (in my opinion). I believe that the majority of your fans are truly happy that you got a vacation, because we care for you mental well being because you are a bomb ass bitch. Love you Mike, I don't want you to change one bit! 💜💜💜💜💜

2018-10-25 13:17:35 +0000 UTCThis is why I follow you. You are more worried about your fans than yourself. You're awesome Michael. Your game is on point already but i can't wait to see what comes next.

2018-10-24 18:08:56 +0000 UTCStop overthinking! It was your well deserved vacation. Personally I didn't expect you to post as much as you did. The fact that you did keep posting just proofs once more, what great guy you are. But you still are a human being and you too need time away from work, just as everyone else does. I hope you enjoyed your time here in Europe. 😘

2018-10-24 15:53:03 +0000 UTCI understand that you feel you've let ppl down bc some ppl have left. Another viewpoint _might_ be that you could concentrate on those of us that have stayed with you. We love you and what you do!!! <3

2018-10-24 14:34:25 +0000 UTCWow, I am profoundly disappointed in those Patreon folks that ditched you because you weren't posting constantly. That kind of "dance, monkey, dance" mentality is disgusting to me. That being said, you should do what you need to do to keep things at the level that you feel is optimal and makes you feel secure. I would just suggest that you also make room for self-care and "me" time wherever possible. We want our Hamm happy and as stress-free as possible.

2018-10-24 14:34:00 +0000 UTCYou should be able to go on holidays without the threat of Patreons leaving. Those that left are not worth stressing about as their expectations are unreasonably.

2018-10-24 14:18:22 +0000 UTCWe love you hammy and I know I speak for a lot of was when I say that you also need some time off/vacations... EVERYONE DOES... We won’t leave just because of a slow month... If i May suggest... Next time you plan a trip (through Europe or elsewhere... try to get a phone card with more data... a Single SIM card would have gotten you through all Europe since we have rules on data roaming! Post random trip pics and lewd shower selfies for the perv in all of us... to keep the apetite open and, if you can, have some posts ready for the slow days... a photo from a shoot you haven’t shared before, etc etc... it might take a little more preparation, but you’ll know better next time, I’m sure! ^^ there’s no need to “sacrifice” fun/rest for work... you have the privilege of being able to combine those ❤️

2018-10-24 14:09:33 +0000 UTCKeep your head up and be sure that you’ll have people coming back ;) what’s true is that you can’t be certain of the reasons for them to drop out and right now it feels like it was for your vacations but there might be other reasons involved. Also we’re still here so it means you haven’t disappointed us =)

2018-10-24 14:05:36 +0000 UTCI doubt that the long term followers left. Some might have just decided to save money, others left because they have just started becoming a patreon. I think you did well enough as you still posted pics everywhere. It was your holiday after all. I'm sure people will come back or new ones will join. We surely won't let you down!

2018-10-24 14:05:01 +0000 UTCWelcome home! I’m happy to see that you enjoyed your very well-deserved and earned vacation. Just don’t be hard on yourself or let anxiety take the upper hand. You are doing a good job and, if something needs to be sorted out, we’ll be with you through it :)

2018-10-24 14:04:41 +0000 UTCIt sucks that people left just because you took a vacation. I was pretty excited to hear about it when you got back! Keep being you and I'm sure it will be just a momentary loss....you're awesome, after all

2018-10-24 14:02:36 +0000 UTCJust don’t be too hard on yourself! We love you and support you because you do so many cool things for us. Please be happy!

2018-10-24 14:01:13 +0000 UTCDeep breaths, you got this! Keep in mind we are approaching holidays, people often tighten their wallets around that time so it could very likely not even be your doing. You'll bounce back! I believe in you! 😁
