Something to keep you company today

Dear friends,

I found an island of calm and quiet this morning and I've decided to share this feeling with you ๐Ÿ’›

These days are really hard for me because I'm forced to spend most of my time and energy in a way that doesn't do well for me, and I think many of you might relate ๐Ÿ˜” I've had a lovely conversation with a friend yesterday, where we agreed that the only thing we can do to feel better is to take control of the little things. Choosing carefully the pen you use to write, listening attentively to the birds chirping while you walk to a destination, stopping a little longer when you take a break. Anything can become a simple ritual to be more present with yourself and the beautiful world around you.

I hope you can rest today. I hope you can notice the little things. I hope you feel better soon ๐Ÿ’›

A big hug, my friends!

Anna ๐Ÿ‹โ˜•

A little life update โ™ก โ‹† ๏พŸโ˜พ ๏พŸโ‹†

Dear beautiful friends,

Thank you for coming back here to see how things are going โค

โ˜๏ธŽ Why I kinda disappeared โ˜๏ธŽย 
Since my wedding in the USA, I have come back to Italy alone and, to be honest, it's been a struggle ๐Ÿฅ€ The preparation to go live with my partner has forced me to interact with a lot of people who didn't treat me very well, including my relatives. I feel as burnt out and disheartened as I could be, from a social point of view, which explains why I haven't been present as much online ๐Ÿ’” I also work more hours now, and they will keep increasing until around 55 hours a week in June and July, which is a little scary, but me and my partner really need the money ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ I feel worried about the near future, I really hope we are able to prepare all the documents right for the immigration, so we can finally live together ๐Ÿ˜ฅ It's a tough transition period, but I'm getting everything done little by little.

๐Ÿฆ‹ Exciting things in the future ๐Ÿฆ‹ย 
Hopefully in a couple of months me and my partner will be living together! I can't wait to be able to go to sleep and wake up in a space that feels safe and where I'm loved as I am ๐Ÿ’• I will be living next to the forest and a small river, which makes me feel very hopeful ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒŠโ›ฐ๏ธ I've also started to do more art recently, designing some stickers for my website, and I got some commissions for a printed illustration and a t-shirt design, I can't wait to draw more! ๐ŸŽจ I'm also recording new music in August, I think it will be 6 songs and the last album of the trilogy for Midsummer Lemon ๐Ÿ“€ Stay tuned for some previews of the songs!

All this said, this month I have made a small giftย to thank my supporters for all the trust and encouragement until now โค I really hope we can celebrate together my new life soon! ๐Ÿฅ‚โœจ

A big hug,

Anna ๐Ÿ‹โ˜•

โœฎโ‹†ห™ A useful recap of what's going on! ห™โ‹†โœฎ

Dear Cuteas,
It's been a very busy January! In the past weeks I have battled with some depression and physical sickness, so I'm a little behind with posts and thanks, I'm sorry!

The video above might explain some of the stress I'm going through... ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ’

To recap some important points:

  • My twitch channel is now DEMONetised, so emotes are free for everyone!ย 
    ๐Ÿ‘‰ย add the 7tv extension to your browser to see them on stream
  • Because of Italian laws, for now, the products I am allowed to keep on my website are only digital and must be free, so no merch for now. But, laws are changing in April, and I might find some workarounds with my accountant! At worst this will be solved as soon as I graduate and I'm able to find a job with a more stable income... Feeling hopeful!
  • New year postcards have been sent! ๐Ÿ’Œ Everybody should get them within some weeks, but if they get lost in the post, I have taken pictures for you ๐Ÿ˜‰ Send me a picture when you get them! I'll remind you at the end of the month in case โค๏ธŽ

Also a big thank you to all the new members this month!!
I want to make a drawing with everybody as soon as I have recovered โœโค๏ธ

Here are some reminders for new supporters:
โœ… connect your Discord to your website account here
โœ… check your spam/trash folders and allow emails from no-reply@support.annalemontea.com, if needed! My updates will come from this address
โœ… add the Lemontea Emporium app on your phone by tapping on your profile and following the instructions

Much love and hugs,

Anna ๐Ÿ‹โ˜•๏ธ

โœฎโ‹†ห™ Thank you for a wonderful start! ห™โ‹†โœฎ

I want to send a big hug to our first supporters, I appreciate your help so much!
I decided to make this little summary to show you how much I'm able to do thanks to you!!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Here is what we have accomplished this month:

  • we opened this website ๐Ÿค— we also added temporary illustrations with animations, a first gift to everybody who subscribed and even a snake game!
  • we met on livestreams on 17 different days, to play games, cowork and make art together! ๐Ÿ“š๐ŸŽงโ˜•
  • we published one very important youtube video to explain the changes we are going through ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿ‘‰ And here's what to expect in December:

  • a few adjustments in Discord, like bot names, role colours and adding emotes for everybodyย 
  • setting the soundboard for my streams with images and sounds to be used by everybody! ๐Ÿ”Šย 
  • streams on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays + some extra cowork ones โค๏ธ To be announced some HYPE streams to spend all your channel points in predictions ๐Ÿ”ฅ
  • a new FREE GIFT for supporters (available to everybody else, too, if purchased), this time a physical one! ๐Ÿ‘€
  • 2-4 YouTube videos, based on how much time I'm able to dedicate to this โค๏ธ for sure an explanation of some features of the website + some uploads of livestream highlights + some reel edits on instagram!

Do you have suggestions or requests? Feel free to let me know here ๐Ÿ‘‡ย 
Have a wonderful start of December! ๐Ÿฅฐ

It's official! I'm demonetising my Twitch by the end of the year ๐Ÿค

In this video I explain my reasons and what is going to change!
I appreciate all the help and support until now, it's time to set off to a new adventure! ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
