Hey everyone my name is Keeper, or 'whatwhywhy' on twitch, I know this reddit post is a little late and really overdue but here it is. I am not the best at writing stories or explaining situations so bare with me here.

I used to stream on twitch and I had a small group, but none-the-less the 2-3 viewers a day would keep me there because to me, ANY viewer makes me feel like i'm actually doing something.

I was streaming one day and I got the call that my father was in a trucking accident and he was no longer with us, on stream.....I got up....walked out of the room and turned my comouter off....I tried to stream a few times after that but my obs settings were not working currectly and my head wasn't in it as all I could think about was what just happened....so I stopped.

fast forward to this previous saturday night....I had plans to go out, but I wanted to test an OBS setting I never used that I so I decided to try out streaming some CSGO my main game I play when suddenly I start getting raided, by non other than the greatest streamer Summit1g. After that, more people kept showing up and the tears flew. JoshOG sent people, I can't believe he heard the story.....then SodaPoppin sent people!!! and we made it to the front page of reddit on global offensive.....IT was THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. I knew then and right there that I wanted to make streaming my full time job, I feel it in me.

The next day. I had not expected anything like the pervious day, but when I got on I learned that the reddit page had sent me so many people and then I learned that I was tweeted by a famouse youtuber Robbaz and I was on the front of a Swedish newspaper!!!! I could not it! ALL THE SUPPORT! More people started pouring in!!! 1 by 1 I got more followers and people telling me they would love to watch me play games.....Then right after that Evil Geniuses Posted ON THEIR Twitter for people to come!! I can not believe it..

Last night marked the 5th stream and the support from you guys is just insane....because of you guys I am able to stream full time right now, every day for 8 hours + and I will continue to do so until the last person stops coming. I don't know if I have what it takes to make you guys keep coming back but since you came to watch I don't ever want any of you to leave.

I just want to thank you guys from the bottom of my hear, I was told my whole life I would never make it anywhere...I was told no one would watch my play game, I was told games would get me nowhere....I never finished high school....I was on the road to nowhere....a lost cause.....and now you guys give me the light and energy and make me feel like I actually matter.

You guys mean the world to me...

Special thanks to all of my fam on the channel and every single one of you who took the time to come hang out and even the ones who just took the few minutes to read this post. I love you all

Thank you Summit1g, JoshOG, Sodapoppin, EG, Robbaz.
