on reaching 100: a love letter to you
y'all make this journey worth it, & there's room for many more!
tl;dr: we skyrocketed from 79 to 100 subscribers in just 2 days! thank you all for this whirlwind. now, let's keep this momentum going with our referral program. exclusive rewards await! ๐๐ธ
hi mis bellezas, ๐
guess what?!? we've hit triple digits, baby! ๐ฏ we did it! and not just "it" - we did it at warp speed!
we went from 79 to 100 subscribers in 48 hours. i'm dizzy, i'm giddy, i'm over the moon. from the bottom of my big, messy, loving heart - thank you.
to my best friend pat, subscriber #100 - te quiero, cabrรณn. you've always believed in me, even when i didn't. you're the nitro to our already blazing rocket!
now, to all 100 of you beautiful souls - thank you. thank you for giving a shit about what this random boricua has to say. thank you for letting me ramble about everything from the intricacies of puerto rican politics to the joys of finding the perfect taco spot in hillcrest. (sidebar: if you haven't tried la vecindad on 5th street yet, what are you even doing with your life?)
now, let's keep this wildfire burning. why? because our voices matter. because every new subscriber is another soul joining our fight for a world that's a little kinder, a little queerer, and a whole lot more just. and clearly, we've got some serious momentum!
so, i've got a spicy proposition to keep us zooming ahead. ๐ถ๏ธ help grow our community, and unlock some pretty sweet rewards:
๐ฅ boricua bรกsico (2 referrals): hear me sing a spanish just for you
๐ฅ queer queen (10 referrals): get a month of paid subscription + custom spotify playlist
๐ฅ san diego royalty (25 referrals): 3-month paid subscription + guest star in my blog
and the grand finale? if we keep up this rocket-like growth, i'll do a live performance right here on substack. original songs, covers, the works. it'll be like a private concert, minus me tripping over your coffee table.
remember, this isn't just about me or these mind-blowing numbers. it's about us. it's about creating a space where we can be unapologetically ourselves. where we can laugh, cry, and change the world - one subscriber at a time!
so what are you waiting for? grab your referral link and spread it like we're going viral (because, um, we kind of are?). let's make some noise, mi familia!
with fierce love, gratitude, and a touch of disbelief,
edgard ๐โ๐ฝ๐
p.s. if we don't keep up this growth, i might ugly cry on instagram live. save my mascara, please? (though at this rate, they might be tears of joy!)
