Taking a Break from Streaming & Social Media

Writer's picture: Ares CarrasquilloAres Carrasquillo

I started streaming on Valentine's Day and since then I have only taken one "break" but I was still on social media 24/7 and on Twitch. I did not really take a step back. This week I was at a Lake with family so I had to take a breather, but I decided to take it one step further and took a break from social media too.

So from July 1st to the 11th, I'll be/have been on a break from both social media & streaming. I have not really done anything pertaining to those things besides updates. And I have been trying to stay offline for as much as I can to take in the lake with my family. I was also sick at the beginning so I really needed to rest. For the first days of break, I got around 8-11 hours of sleep per day. This was from nap time & from sleep. But that's nuts, I rarely sleep like that.

And that's what this break is, a rest. I am taking a nap from stuff that becomes overwhelming and stressful if done for too long so I can come back better than ever. So far, it's helping. It's very refreshing to not have to worry about anything besides eating & have fun.

So let me tell you all a bit about my vacation and then my plans for the upcoming future.

Every year I go on a little family reunion to Upstate New York where I just chill and unwind. I take the time to catch up on writing, with family and just enjoy myself. Which is exactly what I did. I finally got out of this one chapter that I have been stuck on for, since the beginning of 2021. Maybe longer than that! And I came out to my extended family. A lot of them did not really understand, but they took to calling me Ares almost immediately. It was such a big relief for them to not understand, yet still respect me. And it just felt amazing for 98% of people to be calling me Ares and for people to use my right pronouns with it. Sometimes it is only one or the other, but hearing both was nice. And I think that also helped me stay relaxed and down to earth for the rest of the week. There was no stress for hiding, and since I am older I can do what I want. And what I wanted was to write and vibe, and I got to do it!



Now for the plans for the future/just happened. I did a 12-hour maid cat stream. It was a sub-goal for the community and since we hit it, I gotta wear the dress. I am happy and I looked bomb. It was extremely chaotic as more people joined. And the iconic 'Monke' was created along with many, many, many, many, many, many, mommy milker jokes. I love my friends and cannot wait to work more with them.



And then in a few weeks, I will be having my first sub-a-thon. Yeah, you heard that right. Ares is having their first subathon! A birthday sub-a-thon that can go up to 48 hours. More info will be coming soon on that so if you wanna know more, my discord is the place to be.


So that's what my life has been like!
