Hey guys, as some of you may know I’ve been gone for quite some time. This is my post to say that I’m still here however I may have to take a step back for the time being on any plans on coming back to streaming.

I appreciate everyone that has been with me for as long as I have been around, even though I’ve been inconsistent for quite some time now. I really hope I get the chance to speak to you all again on my streams and not have my mind chew away at me.

I am enrolled in professional help currently because I do want confirmation of what I have (or don’t have) so I can navigate myself better.
As for my return, only when I feel like I can give 100% of me is when I’ll be back. When? Who knows.

Driving in California is a lot harder when there's heavy rain.
Some messages will be delivered, never to be read again. I really do wish for everyone to admire the bonds you have, because you'll never know when's the last time laughs will be shared again.
You know I’m not one to be super vocal, but right now, Twitch is definitely not inspiring any confidence from its Partners and community after so many questionable and ridiculous decisions. And frankly, it’s scaring me.
> Lying to their Partners/Community about viewership
> Culling the “bots” but instead cutting actual viewers. The bot problem still remains and is s out of control.
> Lying about tighter security and even posting about it with confidence only for there to be large issues regarding security being non-existent and now having Partners fear for their safety and leaving, not to attend next year even.
> Constant miscommunication and even throwing away gifts from the community for streamers.
> With all due respect, current CEO doesn’t seem to be in touch with today’s streaming platform. Maybe this platform position isn’t for him and is better suited for a position more “relaxed” from the clips I’ve seen.
> Actions taken by the platform that has lead to many Partners questioning the direction of Twitch.
The list goes on for the mistakes these past 2 years.
I think overall Twitch is in a position where we need to be more vocal the ever.
Not streaming to boycott is fine, but ineffective as some people will continue to stream since they’re unaffected, or some who can’t because they need to make ends meet, but being vocal, asking the questions, respectfully, especially to higher piers, not just Dan Clancy, of what is happening is a good way to go about trying to push for change. Especially with so much happening that has cause so many of us distress. Partners and creators, no matter the size, shouldn’t be scared to go to a convention or worry that Twitch doesn’t care for them and lies to them constantly. I don’t want to see a Platform go under due to negligence and incompetence and put hard working Creators who love what they do put their livelihood in jeopardy. @Twitch@TwitchSupport@djclancy999 Your creators and community want our voices heard and clarity, honesty and a clear goal for Twitch, our platform, and its future. 🙏
Nothing stays good for long and every day is another day of waiting for the other shoe to drop. I don’t know how to move on because my mind just replays the worst moments of my life over and over if I stop for even a second. I could have the perfect day with people who love me and once I’m alone it’s like it never even happened. Hitting new milestones don’t make me feel anything. They just remind me of how ungrateful I am for not being grateful. The things that used to give me joy no longer do. I let all of my plants die. Everyone says it can’t get worse but it always does. Everyone’s moved on with their lives and I’m still stuck here. I no longer pray for closure or strength. I just think to myself, “I want to go home” but I don’t even know what that means.
I kind of miss the good ol' streaming days back then during the pandemic.
It's understandable people are back to being busy post-COVID, but it was fun raiding and doing collabs with streamer friends when we were all active daily.
