So here's my story everyone. I'm high af right now and just winging it lol. My friend told me to post here.
Since 2017 I have been heavily involved in Twitch communities and made many connections. I have streamed on and off since 2017, sometimes for a year at a decent schedule, sometimes nothing at all. I absolutely love the being online, the networking, the content creation, the live streaming. It's something I've been extremely passionate about. I only have a HS Diploma, only worked blue collar manufacturing jobs. The job I have now, I make almost $35/hr. However I work midnight to 8am, have to sleep during the day, and i'm just extremely tired all the time. I've worked there for 5 years. Within the last year I've been strongly considering leaving and going headfirst into content creation and live streaming with the small community I have now and working hard as hell to expand it. I do have many ideas to achieve this, I just have to execute them properly.
Well I pulled the trigger, I left that job and I'm pursuing what I have been so passionate about. I love the tech that goes along with creating content. I was so sick of having to be at work. The last time I was at work was Monday and I felt like leaving that night. Sick of having to punch a clock every night. Sick of possibly getting forced to work weekends even if I didn't volunteer. There's much more. But now I can put all my extra time into content creating and doing what I love.
Sorry if this was terribly worded, my mind is all over the place and still have a lot of anxiety over this but I haven't been happier. Thoughts? Questions? I'll take criticism as long as it's constructive 🙂 Thanks for reading!
