The Good Patrons of 750 Words

I realize I’m not the norm here, but I am running a 747-day streak and counting, and every day I wake up with terrible anxiety, worried that I may have forgotten to write the day before. Going for the little badges when I first joined this site was fun, and I love being able to look back on a given day (say, one or two or three years ago to the day) to see how I was feeling and note how much has changed. But if writing here every day in hopes of getting an elusive badge is making me feel bad, maybe it’s time to take a break. What I would like to suggest is a feature where I would be able to opt out of getting badges entirely. That way, I could use this site to journal without fuelling my weirdo competitive fire, which isn’t always healthy. I also think it would be great if you could offer a discounted annual membership or the option to buy a lifetime membership to entice people to keep using the site for a long time, even if they need to take a break for a while. Thanks for considering these ideas and thanks for being here!
