Warning: Long post ahead:
I was reluctant to share any year-ender report like from Spotify, YouTube, and my Twitch Recap as well because it could be a long emotional post. I try to have a positive and calm stream but in reality, this year has not been kind to me.
My Spotify playlist even contains all the emotions & proof of how tough these past years had been.
Livestreaming keeps me going. I would say, that it even saved me from myself.
Looking back, my past self never imagined that I would be streaming. My introverted self is too shy to talk to people and would always too anxious about everything. But I am glad I did. It saved me, and for that, I am grateful.
I am more of a lurker than a streamer because I like watching streams.
I knew nothing about game streaming, and I would never even dare to call myself a gamer, feeling gamer is a stretch even if I grew up playing console & PC games. I love mobile games though, I call them my stress reliever, and they kept me company during difficult times.
I even tried to learn OBS, custom commands, making emotes, configuring discord, and lots of other new things.
In between reviewing and always getting sick which took a toll on my voice, I streamed Hay Day & Pokemon Go without a mic. I was surprised to become a Twitch Affiliate because I didn't expect it.
My doubtful newbie self is beyond grateful for the support from my viewers while I'm still learning to be better and worthy. Much love.
I found terrific streamers too as well which I learned so much from and keep me company even in the wee hours that's why they are the top streamers I am viewing. Salute to Beagzzzz, Commandercharli, iggyneer, Jeff8tee7! Also the game gurus helping me unlock the next level, wow!
The Twitch community is also amazing. Grateful to be accepted as an official member of Area063 and Twitch Philippines. Thanks for the opportunity and the warm welcome Commandercharli, Pao_oppa and evanreik! For the support, my gratitude to 40Fam (40yroldbot) & W Community. The unexpected growth unlocks the community giveaways!
For a newbie small streamer like me who's also always anxious, spending your precious time with me and saying hi, is a big deal.
It's like a warm hug in a cold sea.
For the chats, views, lurks, cheers, gifts and subs, you guys have no idea how much they mean so much to me. Lots of ups and downs but thankful for the lessons and to experience this streamer life with you, my DARINGS.
May I have the same opportunity next year to talk, listen to chill music, play new games, provide quality content and have fun with you guys. Thank you very much for your love and support. From the bottom of my heart, maraming salamat!
Also, a reminder, for those who are also struggling especially this holiday season, you are not alone, always keep going.
We can do this, hugs!
