❤️: stepping back was the healthiest
❤️: i'm not coming back to streaming, i'm still taking things rather slowly
❤️: wish i understood better --> i reached out
❤️: we had to go thru things apart rather than being there to support each other
❤️: i cared. i care, i still do.
I have been away for a while. With time and distance, I have been able to process what I experienced and better understand why it affected me so deeply. That situation was not something I could continue in, and stepping away was necessary to protect my well-being and begin healing.
I am grateful for the support and understanding from the community, and I have been focusing on positive connections and rekindling old friendships.
I will be joining an old friend for some games tomorrow at 8pm EST, and I am looking forward to a calm and comfortable time together.
