I've FINALLY Took a REAL Break!

Finally, a day off where I don’t feel like garbage. Today was a genuinely good day off after a long week at work and an even longer month of feeling sick! I was so productive—and by “productive,” I mean I didn’t stream. Instead, I played video games for almost eight straight hours without broadcasting a single second. That’s right, I spent the whole morning and a good chunk of my day just gaming for me.

Now, you’re probably wondering, “Why is that a good thing?” Well, it’s because I haven’t had a break like this in almost six months! I thought about streaming today, sure, but honestly, it felt way better to just chill and enjoy the moment. It’s been a while since I could just be. As I’m writing this, it’s late, but I feel like I’ve actually hit the reset button.

Times like these are when I really have to remind myself: taking a real break is important. Not the kind where you're still half-working or thinking about being productive—I'm talking about an honest, do-nothing kind of break. It really does help clear the mental clutter and recharge the batteries. And after the month I’ve had, this was exactly what I needed.

For those wondering, I was playing Rimworld! :D
