About Me
When I was 14 years old, I was hospitalized for over six months. I wasn't able to play many video games and I exhausted all of the TV shows that were interesting to me. I found Twitch.TV and was entertained for months. I then got hospitalized for another five months when I was 16 and was feeling horrible about myself. I proceeded to get really lucky while watching a stream and got to duo with Nighblue3 in League of Legends. I posted an appreciation to him on his sub-Reddit. Him and his community were nothing but nice to me and that moment helped me gain confidence in myself and actual did help me medically as well. My moment was only one short LoL game and we forfeited that game at 20 minutes, nevertheless, I will always remember that moment. Twitch and YouTube hold a special place in my heart and I would love to help creators create more moments like I had, and just be the bright and positive influences that they are.
