If you’ve ever seen me on stream, you already know: gaming is my thing. Whether I’m stealthing my way through Dead by Daylight or rage-crying over another Call of Duty camper, gaming somehow keeps me grounded. (Yes, even when I’m yelling into my mic. That’s just part of the process, okay?)
But seriously, as someone juggling a lot—streaming, content creation, gym days, and making sure my cats don’t destroy everything I love—gaming has been my rock. Here are five ways it keeps me from completely losing it.
1. Escaping Into Another World
Life can get overwhelming—emails, deadlines, and the constant pressure to keep up with social media. Gaming is my way to hit pause on all that and step into another universe. Whether it’s a dystopian battlefield or a creepy killer’s playground, I get to disconnect from reality for a while and just exist in the moment.
Bonus points: It’s way cheaper than therapy.
2. Channeling Stress Into Something Fun (ish)
There’s something weirdly satisfying about letting out all your frustrations by sniping someone in Warzone. When the day has been a lot, I’ll jump into a match and use my stress to fuel my gameplay. Does it always go well? Absolutely not. But there’s nothing like a solid kill streak to make you feel like you’ve got your life together.
3. The Social Side of Streaming
I grew up on the East Coast, so I know how important community is—especially when life feels isolating. Streaming has connected me with people I never would’ve met otherwise. My chat feels like a mix of gaming buddies, hype crew, and occasional trolls (you know who you are). The laughs, the banter, and even the shared rage over a bad match remind me I’m not alone.
4. Gaming as Creative Fuel
When I’m working on other creative projects—whether it’s OnlyFans content, social media posts, or my book (yep, I’m writing one!)—gaming gives me inspiration. The characters, stories, and even the adrenaline rush spark ideas I can bring into other parts of my life. Who knew dying repeatedly in Dead by Daylight could lead to great content ideas?
5. That Sweet, Sweet Sense of Accomplishment
Okay, real talk: adulting doesn’t always come with instant wins. You don’t get a “mission complete” banner for doing the laundry or paying bills. But in gaming? I can crush a challenge, level up, or unlock something cool, and it feels amazing. Even on days when nothing else is going right, gaming gives me those little victories to hold onto.
The Rage Is Part of the Process
Don’t get me wrong—gaming isn’t always relaxing. I still scream, swear, and threaten to uninstall every other day. But even in those moments, it’s a release. I’m not bottling things up; I’m working through them, one rage quit at a time.
So, the next time you hear me losing it over another COD camper, just know: this is my therapy. And it works.
