Question…<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello everybody…<\/p>\n

This is something a bit different and really, really hard for me…<\/p>\n

A little bit of back-story… Usually I love my job. I’m in public research which has its ups and downs; you don’t really earn a lot but are usually quite free in what you do and how you do it… and most of the time I do things I really like to do, where I can do my little part to keep this planet intact… and that is a big motivation!<\/p>\n

For the last 3 or 4 month it’s really been going downhill… It’s a combination of factors but yeah… A lot of it is out of my control, but then one of my big problems is also that I, unlike other people there, can’t just ignore things… and my current project is full of people who are masterful in ignoring all work, timetables and everything else! And I’m stuck in there until about the end of the year…<\/p>\n

You could probably tell by the number of files I released how overwhelmed I’ve been, considering in December and January I didn’t release files for a while in an attempt to free up more time. \u00a0But I really like this project, this site, making files, and interacting with people! And that it grants me the chance to help people be themselves without guilt!<\/p>\n

By now I’m at a point where I see making a new file as the most relaxing time of the week… I work too much and, of course, that means (as probably enough people out there know) that you have to do things like shopping and cleaning during the weekend… I just barely managed to make a file every week over the last few weeks… (from the feedback I get I think a lot of people underestimate the time going into the files!)<\/p>\n

At the point where I am now I have a really bad tinnitus, and my eye is twitching (or more like fluttering…) all the time… I was usually able to stop and get a break when this warning signs started and long before it got this bad… and I have no idea how long I can take it before I get a real burnout or breakdown! I don’t want the site dying of inactivity, as it was a while ago, and I really enjoy making files… I cut down everything else… My life is pretty much work, sleep, shopping… and making a file every weekend… And maybe every now and then a munch, but it’s been really rare! And I manage all of that – and staying ahead of the burnout – only by slowly burning my free days… (not that don’t I have to catch up once I’m back anyway but at least you have a day to recover a bit.)<\/p>\n

Let’s cut to the chase… I was wondering if it may work out to start some fundraiser campaign to get my fix costs covered so I can get a month or maybe even two (yes, I dream big) off from work unpaid… I would do a certain amount of files in that time (I probably would be pretty much recording every day because I have so many ideas I’m really itching to make and no time to record them) and I could imagine doing certain “rewards” at different donation levels, like setting the theme for a file, a custom file or maybe even a live session. (but of course within my moral limits. No “I want a file that does X to an unknowing and\/or non-consenting victim.”)<\/p>\n

The whole thing is a bit against my principles, I always wanted to keep the site completely free and also free of ads, but at the moment it’s the only out I can come up with before I seriously break down. I’m not even sure if it would work out, if there are people out there willing to support this idea… but I don’t really know what else to do… It took me a good month to work up the nerve to even suggest the idea… it feels really wrong – I usually just did those things, if someone wanted a file I made it (time permitting) and if someone wanted to be tranced live and was someone I could talk\/work with – I did the same! It feels really weird to ask for something for it now… but it’s the only somewhat realistic way I can get out of the stress for a while that I can see!<\/p>\n

So in one question – would you be willing to donate for this? If so, please leave me a message here or via the contact function of the site or mail me at vive@vivehypnosis.de!<\/p>\n
