This isn't goodbye but, see you later.
When I started streaming almost a decade ago, I had no idea this journey would end. I’ve gone through rebrands and switched to different niches, and I’ve always had fun.
But like everything in life, good things have to come to an end. I’ve been struggling to find the spark that makes me want to create the content I’ve been doing for the past four years. I’ve tried different workflows and even changed the content itself, but nothing seems to work. Every step I take, I don’t feel the joy I used to.
Over the past few months, my live streams have been getting fewer and fewer, and I haven’t been working on any new content. I feel like I’m just going through the motions, trying to get something out there, and I’m getting even more discouraged by the quality of my work. I knew I had to do something soon.
I felt like I was just getting caught up in notifications and spending time after sending them. I still had the feeling that I’d be back where I am now, and I couldn’t keep doing this over and over. So, I made the tough decision to cut my losses and shut everything down.
I’ve always loved helping others find alternative platforms and helping at least one person. But when I looked back at the past four years, I realized that I had made many mistakes and was holding myself back (in my own mind) from being a better creator. That was another reason why I made this decision.
This isn’t a goodbye, but more of a “I’ll see you later.” Stepping away from the content I’ve been working on for years is hard, but I have to do it to take care of myself physically and mentally. I know I’ll probably come back to this niche someday, but for now, I have to take a break.
