Familyhood

Being a Streamer is an amazing adventure, fulls of ups and downs. An Experience only other Content creators can get.

But there is always something more important than just working all the time. Family. Ya they can be a pain in the ass at times, eat your food, pee on the floor, tell you what to do, etc. But who else is always there for you?

Balancing Streaming between being a family man and trying to make it these days in the world of Twitch is damn hard.

Enter 34 year old Father, Husband, Brother, Son, Friend.

How does someone like myself try to stay afloat in a market full of others who can stream for long hours daily? How do I get myself out there without going to Twitch Parties? How can I compete against beautiful women on camera? How do I.... Heres my answer to all of it. I don't

That is them and I am Me.

Wait What?! Yup. You read right.

I am a proud father of two amazing little girls. Those who pop by the stream or watched most of any of my youtube videos have met them before. Streaming as a stay at home dad has been and still is such a pleasure on a daily basis. Hanging with my friends while being right here if they need me is priceless.

Ya it can be stressful at times, Caught up in a great fun moment, chatting with your buddies and then your four year old hitting her sister in the face with a giant pikachu isn't how I wake up dreaming my day would be but it happens. Wanting to chill and play games but stuck at a Dr's Office is no ones dream I'm sure. But Life happens, Family Happens.

I tend to feel bad when I can not make it as planned. It's true I hate saying I'll be somewhere and then not make it. Right? cuz come on screw that guy. But I'll be honest I can live with myself for being the guy who's always trying to make it to play games with his friends but sometimes just cant. I could not live with myself if I was the dad / husband /brother / son / friend who was not there for the big moments in life.

You should too, make sure you go hang with your family every now and then. Twitch/ Youtube will be waiting for you when you get back. Your family will always be more reliable than the connection to Twitch Servers.

What I am trying to say is, I know how hard it is to pull away from creating content, It can be life consuming, instead of enjoying the small moments off the computer all you can think of is how your falling behind, how someones going to be upset or unfollow. I am guilty of all of this and more, wanting to succeed is beyond addicting. Just don't sacrifice what is truly important on your quest to where you want to be. Take a day off take your loved one to a movie, call up your mom and dad, tell them your having dinner with them tonight, take your kids to the park. If So and So passes up your numbers who gives two donkey dicks, The people who love you smiling cuz you gave them some time will be the best reward over "numbers"

"Family time is not a matter of convenience. It is a matter of priority"
