There's been a lot that's happen in these last six months. There was a lot of drama when I took my hiatus and initially when I came back. I've been changing up so much on how I create my content, how often I post, consistency, etc. [2]

I think the thing thats the hardest about this, is having the goal of making this into a full time thing, making this into a career and how before my hiatus everything was going so fast, that now there's a grind to get back to that spot. [3]

Its really difficult some days and it can be really discouraging, but I keep pushing forward cause of how passionate I am, how much I love getting to meet each and everyone of you, how I can make people’s days a bit brighter, and so much more. [4]

Despite how hard it is to grow at times, the grind to get to a point of being full time is worth it—even if it is really difficult. It's also hard because I grew so fast initially. I didn't really know how to handle everything. Now I'm in an awkward spot where I need help and [5]

advice. However, I deal with people who get jealous and tell me I have nothing to worry about, or people who might have advice, I don't really have any connections to and I feel a bit awkward just reaching out and asking how they handle it. [6]

There've been issues at home as well that make it more difficult at times as well, that I'm not comfortable sharing. Being able to go full time with this would help with getting out of the situation I'm in currently—it does take a toll mentally on myself as well. [7]

I literally had no idea what I was doing when I began this journey. I just slapped together a vroid model, picked a random game, and ran with it. After networking with people and being super friendly, things just happened. Before I knew it, I had 1k followers. I was just [8]

being myself, I was super scuffed, I wasn't aware of what people were seeing, but I was and am having a great time. I loved doing collabs and playing games with you and having those interactions and conversations. [9]

Now, I'm mainly doing solo content with some collaborations here and there, and the interaction I'm absolutely loving because we're having conversations and chatting with each other, and I absolutely love it. I have introduced a few of you to games you never thought of, [10]

making them fun for you to enjoy. Knowing I can introduce them to others makes me so happy. I feel like I have been stumbling since I came back.trying to find my voice again, to figure out what I want, and I think I'm getting there.but gosh it can be so hard and it has been. [11]

However, it has been good, being able to reevaluate myself, what I want, who I want to be, and how I want to present myself, and there have been a lot of growing pains for me and the community as everyone has adjusted, and I'm so grateful for everyone who has stuck with me.. [12]

Also, I do have many amazing people, such as Rei who has offered me amazing advice and has been a great support... but I don't want to depend on her alone, and I would like to get more friends with experience in this, who know what it's like to go through it, since I don't [13]

want to depend on any one person. If you feel like you're in a similar situation, please, reach out to me. I'm ready for the next step!
