What Now

What Now

It's been a weird day. I just closed out four years of work and projects that were a massive learning experience in content creation. Hundreds of videos covering everything from community building software tutorials to alternative platform first looks and indie gaming reviews. All work that I'd been pushing myself to finish, even when it started feeling forced.

I spent a good chunk of today going through all the services I was using and closing down accounts. The process was surprisingly cathartic—there's real relief in clicking each cancellation button. I knew I'd been using a lot of services to help with my work, but each one I shut down lifted a little weight off my shoulders. Looking back, I think I'd accumulated more tech debt over the years than I realized.

For now, I'm using this blog to help me work through finding my next adventure. A way to transition from the old life where I was making mistakes left and right toward the end. Figuring out what I'm supposed to be doing now. It's going to be a long road, but this had to happen. I needed to work on my physical and mental health, and my old ways of thinking were taking a toll.

I like to think this new direction will be as raw and unfiltered as possible, and that's actually a good thing right now. As for what comes next? Who knows—and that's going to be a fun and exciting journey to explore.
