Dear Stars,
Today, I just want to be honest—raw, unfiltered, and maybe a little vulnerable. There's no easy way to say it but...
I’m burnt out. Completely, utterly burnt out.
When I started livestreaming, it was a rush like nothing I’d ever felt before. The energy of connecting with all of you in real time, sharing laughs, stories, and moments—it felt like magic. And for a while, it was. But somewhere along the way, the magic started feeling like a routine, and the routine started feeling like an anchor pulling me down to the depths of the sea. I couldn’t shake it.
Livestreaming is incredible, but it’s also a lot. You’re “on” the whole time, for hours on end balancing your thoughts, emotions, and energy while trying to keep things fun and engaging. And then there’s the pressure to always be consistent—to never miss a stream, to keep growing, to meet expectations (most of which I’ve put on myself).
Lately, I’ve caught myself dreading the start button, which is something I never thought would happen. It’s not because I don’t love connecting with you—I do. But it’s like my tank is empty, and I’m trying to drive on fumes. My energy is depleted.
I’ve been thinking a lot about why I’m feeling this way. I think it comes down to forgetting to give myself the same care and compassion I try to show others. Somewhere in the hustle, I stopped listening to my own needs. I stopped giving myself permission to rest, to step back, to breathe.
So, I’ve decided to do something that feels both terrifying and necessary: I’m taking a little break. Not forever, and not because I don’t love what I do. But because I want to come back to the livestreams feeling like me again—not just a version of me running on autopilot.
I know some of you might be disappointed, and I absolutely hate that. But I also know that this community—the one we’ve built together—is all about understanding and support. And that’s exactly why I feel safe enough to share this with you.
Thank you for sticking with me through the highs and the lows, for being patient while I figure out how to balance everything, and for reminding me why I started this journey in the first place.
I’ll be back soon, hopefully with more energy, more stories, and a clearer head. Until then, take care of yourselves, too. We’re all human, and we all deserve a little grace.
With love and gratitude,
Luna
