I'm going to be extremely candid with y'all for a bit: I have wanted to stream so, so badly but I have legitimately been too depressed to do so for the last like, two weeks. Erratic sleep schedule, too much external stress, and just frankly being out of ideas have not been good for my health in any way, shape or form; it's usually a battle just to get up and push the go live button, and it's a fight I'm not willing to sacrifice my health for. I've been enjoying streaming again, when I do it, but it's become really clear that things need to change before I'm able to get back to doing this consistently. And I want to come back with energy and drive, not with this min-maxxed 'optimized' view of what streaming should be. I'm tired of half-assing it just for the sake of maintaining a schedule. So I'm going to take probably the next month or so off to try and recompose myself, get my mental and physical health taken care of, and figure out where I want to go from here. I love streaming. I love my friends and my community. I love creating things, even if they're all a bit experimental. And all of these are things that, frankly, I've been very out of touch with for a while. I'm hoping that I can take a good break and sort all this out. Thank you all for your patience with me. I'm sorry for missing probably a dozen streams in the last few months, and I hope you can forgive me for taking some extra time to recuperate. Much love, K1 💛
Hi kilobytes. Long post incoming, but TL;DR, taking a few weeks of hiatus/break to recharge and rest. 💛
