Taking a break from something you love can sometimes be for the best. The reason you stopped or left could be up for conversation depending on if you are leaving for mental health, lack of funds, no longer loving what you are doing, you're moving or changing jobs. Whatever the case may be, if and when you finally return to that thing you left behind, you may find a new fondness for it. You may realize just how important it was to you and how helpful it was for your mentality. Or maybe you will find out the opposite. Whatever the case may be, you live and you learn.
I took a break from streaming because I didn't have the means to in terms of time as well as resources such as the internet. I spent a year doing other things while still occasionally playing games with friends online. It didn't mean that I stopped thinking about it, in fact, I thought about it constantly and wished I could've shared a lot of my gaming moments with my community. But I didn't and having that time away has allowed me to reflect on what streaming meant to me and where my channel was going and where I need it to go. Time has allowed me to slightly re-align my streaming agenda and what I hope to get out of my community.
Now that I am back at it again, I can start sharing gaming moments with my friends again. I can start to be more social and active in my downtime. I can relax and decompress from work by thinking of something completely unrelated. I can build my own worlds and have control over how things appear and behave.
It's good to have that outlet again is all I'm saying.
I hope that everyone can have something like that in their lives and if they need to take a break to realize how good it really is then so be it.
