Unfortunately, due to a fight with my sister during our trip, I ended up leaving in the middle of a 12-hour drive home and am currently stranded in Colorado trying to make my way back.
Some of you know I’ve been going through a lot lately. What I originally called a “pseudo midlife crisis” has turned out to be something much deeper than that. Over the past few weeks — and honestly over the past four years — I’ve been slowly realizing that a lot of things inside me were never actually dealt with properly. Recent events in my life forced me to stop, sit with myself, and finally start digging into why I’ve felt so emotionally disconnected, overwhelmed, confused, and mentally exhausted for so long.
During this trip to Denver, I had a conversation with someone that triggered something inside me in a way I honestly can’t fully explain yet. It suddenly connected dots I hadn’t been able to connect before. For once, I wasn’t running from myself. I was actually focusing. Reflecting. Trying to heal. Trying to understand myself instead of burying everything under stress, work, distraction, survival mode, or pretending everything was fine.
I explained to my sister that I needed space mentally and emotionally so I could focus on what I was processing. Instead of communicating calmly, things escalated again. This is now the third time in the past six weeks that I’ve felt like I became the emotional punching bag during an argument, and this last incident went far beyond what I can continue accepting.
There was yelling in the hotel. There was yelling in the van. And somewhere south of Pueblo, Colorado, I finally hit my limit. When we stopped, I grabbed my bag and walked away.
Not because I hate my sister.
Not because I want drama.
But because I cannot continue allowing myself to be treated that way while I’m actively trying to heal and understand what’s happening inside me.
I’m not posting this for sympathy. I’m posting it because people may notice I’m quiet, distant, offline, or not acting like myself lately. The truth is: I’m going through a major period of self-reflection and emotional reconstruction right now. Some of it is painful. Some of it is clarifying. But for the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m finally beginning to understand parts of myself that I buried years ago.
At the moment, I’m safe. I’m cold, exhausted, stressed, drinking way too much coffee, bouncing between places with Wi-Fi, and trying to figure out transportation home. Ironically, I’m still remotely helping people with computer issues from the middle of nowhere because that part of me apparently never shuts off.
As for my sister… I don’t know what happens from here. I love her, but I also know I cannot continue being the target every time emotions run high. So for now, I think distance is necessary.
I’ll talk more about the deeper side of all this another time. Right now I’m just trying to breathe, think clearly, and get home.
I’ll be sleeping here for the night good night everyone I hope to see all your beautiful faces soon!
Over the last few years, RUMBOT has grown into something way bigger than we ever imagined.
What started as a chatbot has evolved into an entire ecosystem of tools for streaming, music, production, communities, content syncing, and so much more. At a certain point, we realized our name just didn’t fully represent what we’re building anymore.
So… it’s time for a change.
Introducing HELIX — where creating is in our DNA.
This isn’t us changing who we are. It’s actually the opposite. It’s us becoming a brand that truly reflects what we’ve already grown into.
Our focus has never been just one platform or one toolset. Our focus is YOU — the creators.
That’s always been the mission, and that’s not changing.
Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing more about the rebrand, the vision behind it, and what’s coming next.
For now, stay tuned and get ready for the official launch of HELIX in ONE WEEK — May 17.

Over the past few days I went through something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
I had a serious kidney infection that had my body running at maybe 60%… but what really hit me hard was the medication I was put on… ciprofloxacin.
This stuff is no joke.
Mentally, it flipped a switch. Brain fog, second-guessing everything, feeling completely out of control of my own thoughts, delirium and even hallucinations yes, I hallucinated people sleeping on my couch… even brief self deletion thoughts that didn’t feel like me at all. That was the scariest part… knowing something was off but being stuck inside it.
I woke up today feeling like a completely different person. Clearer. Grounded again. Like I got my mind back.
I’m feeling much better now, and I truly appreciate everyone who reached out, checked in, and sent positivity. It meant more than you know.
I’m sharing this because people need to understand: sometimes it’s not “you.” Sometimes it’s what your body is going through, or how it’s reacting to something you were given to help.
If you ever feel off, overwhelmed, or like your thoughts aren’t your own, don’t sit in that alone. Talk to someone. A friend, family, anyone you trust. Hell, even reach out to me.
That was one of the most unsettling mental experiences I’ve had in a long time… and it came out of nowhere.
Take care of your mind. It’s everything.

If you are experiencing depression talk to people about it. Depression is not always easy to be handled alone 🤔. Suicide is not an option. Thanks to the people that saved this lady 🙏.
I’ve hit a point where I’m not okay. This medication has done more harm than good, and I can’t function the way I used to. Tomorrow morning I’m checking myself into a behavioral health inpatient facility. When your mind turns on you, you get help.
What starts as a normal night gaming, chilling, minding your own business quickly spirals into one of the most awkward, hilarious, and downright unbelievable catfish experiences you’ve ever seen.
