Being more transparent.

I'm a relatively private person. Throughout my career producing Twitch and Youtube content there's been numerous times where I've straight up vanished, or the consistency in my content has plummeted. I've always been of the mindset that if I'm dealing with something personal I don't want to bring that into my work and I walk away never saying why.



Last week my mother was admitted to hospital and today she underwent brain surgery. She is the bravest and strongest woman I know and she means the absolute world to me. As you can imagine I haven't handled it anywhere near as well as she has. I can't find joy in making people smile when my own smile is a forced one, and so yet again I've lapsed in producing content.



I feel like the reclusive nature I use to deal with problems like this damages not only my work but also my relationships with the people I love and so I've decided moving forward to try and be more transparent about my life and things happening in it that may conflict with broadcasting. My hope is that it will help me cope better, and it will keep you guys in the loop.
