I want to loudly say that I'm NOT quitting streaming, and any clickbait articles that try to say that should be shunned 😠 + I want to thank Twitch for being my home for so many years 💜 I'm simply looking forward to exploring more avenues of content creation, while still visiting "home" frequently 🙂
First !
We support whatever you do! We got your back!
go throw some dice.. 🎲🎲

Ok
Your anthony padilla interview helped me a LOT in my mental journey with content creation. You’ve been one of the most influential streamers for over half a decade now, and it’s so good to see a creator at the top letting others know that taking breaks is important
Hello
No it didn’t
@Purplecliffe of course you are here lmao
porpleclif moment
wholesome purplecliffe moment
I don’t really care that you took a break but the fact that you are doing ok just and you’re doing the things you have to do that make you feel happy
You have opened my eyes! I have always thought that gaming and streaming is the best profession one can have coz u just play games and have fun. Never realized how stressful it might be. It’s already hard to meet the expectations of a few people around me let alone thousands watching and judging me every single day. I have been following you for not so long but i can say that you have my heart. Life is too short to be stressed. Have fun and live the life to the fullest.
Still better than any 9 to 5
@@cdmanjak True, but that is not on the streamers, it's on the exploitation of workers under our current system. In a better designed system, working a 9 to 5 would be as rewarding as working as a streamer. The fact there is a difference shows you that these jobs are not well designed.
Being a deep-sea oil rig driver is stressful. Being a Twitch streamer is literally one of the best jobs on earth.
@@bucherregaldomi9084 to be fair most jobs would earn you more than streaming
“Not wanting to participate in the rat race” is such a good way to put it; I’m seeing more and more content creators move in the direction of following their personal joy over chasing a bandwagon. Excited to see where this leads for you, and thank you for sharing your candid thoughts with us!!
AHHH I LOVE YOUR GENSHIN VIDS
Yur I make entertaining videos as well
couldnt agree more here, too many creators creating the same kind of content has made youtube boring, and i love to see more diverse stuff
I think this is because a lot of early streamers from 2010's are getting tired rn, and considering that streaming getting harder/more competitive every year i would expect the space to be divided in 3 parts: relatively new competitive streamers, the ones who don't wanna stream every day for 8 hours and choose quality over quantity, and the ones who have big enough viewer base to don't have to stream often and will be able to earn a lot just from merch and sponsors, many of them will likely do the brand-based side business.
yes!! love this. Please don't feel pressured and just do what makes you happy.
don’t get me wrong, streaming is so fun. interacting with viewers, making memories, etc. - but yeah, there’s so much more that us streamers haven’t done in the real world. i cut my streaming/uploading schedule in half last year, and i’m not gonna lie.. kind of the best thing that’s ever happened lmaooo.
so happy for you, good luck with everything 🤍
Not to minimize your experience, but do you feel that's a larger systemic thing? Everyone in many ways is often/always performing in their jobs. Burnout feels like a pervasive societal issue, especially if you are struggling to make ends meet. Not to say streaming is not a challenging job in its own way, it's just your comment about "missing out on things in the real world" is a fair assessment for a lot of young people in our society. The mass amount of attention and criticism that streamers do face is totally fair and valid. But also we all, in a different scale, are also judged and feel like we need to meet certain expectations
Cringe asf
BRO SAID "US STREAMERS" 💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@Aaginost_ exactly. The difference is some people can't afford to follow the path of personal growth, exploration and living in general.
Hell, most people can't go on a month break to recuperate.
Not saying those who can should feel bad. At all. But it does bring up.. a weird.. feeling. Listening and reading these things. These are issues we all face but most aren't privileged enough to resolve.
Especially now, with the world opening up again. It's great!
4:30 That was a really good analogy 🥹
Glad to hear you’re focusing more on you. Always enjoy when a content creator takes their mental seriously
Honey this is not anything special… you might recognize it as a so-called “vacation”and everyone dose it ❤
This is exactly how I felt after uploading just Fortnite for 3 years. People don't understand how burnt out you feel as a content creator/streamer. A lot of the people I know in this space also tend to live very unhealthy lifestyles, both physically & mentally. Loved that you put this out there though!! At the end of the day you're only human & deff need to do whatever makes you feel best!
Yur I make entertaining videos as well
yea i can imagine 3 years of that game can drive anyone insane
@@aurebesh4969 bro lmao they're soft, even if their working isn't that big of deal or not even hard and they still complain lmao,
@@abody6867 yea theres people who work in mines snd shit and these mfs really have the audacity to complain about getting paid to play video games💀💀
@@aurebesh4969 I think that because they're privileged to say that, privilege is invisible to the eye of its beholder, so they think they can say that and should be taken seriously, it's really soft to see that but ngl it's a woman so that's how they're supposed to be, but those men that are in that community are being bitches about it, and I think if you want to do what you do what you want but don't do a video crying and saying it's a hard topic when it's really not, I swear it's not, if I am in that space I want to grind to be the top but that will not prevent me to do different things off-camera, I feel like they think they're doing the most hard working and say that's not what they're happy doing when it should be, cause it brought a lot of things to your life without you really going the hard way
Being a twitch streamer is the most time/mental consuming platform of them all to be a content creator, so it makes sense to feel this way ♥

Big fan
go outside, touch some grass...
I recently quit a job to find myself and do what makes me happy, so I really relate to this. It makes me so happy to see people I respect and admire taking care of themselves. Thanks for being brave and making me feel like I'm not alone 💕 you're an inspiration to me and I can't wait to see what you do next!
Same, i'm in my early 20s as well and quit my first job after college thinking a lot about life this year, its nice to know everyone else is going through similar things lol a quarter life crisis of sorts to figure out what we really want to be doing with life
This is definitely a milestone for you and not a downhill!! I really feel like after 25 life perspectives just change and as a fan who has genuinely put your stream on in the background on and off now and then I'm glad to see a refreshing take! I hope your new journey is fulfilling your fans will definitely always be a part of it!!
I always appreciate your transparency so much and I'm so happy for you!!! Always rooting for you poki, good luck on your next steps
Yeah the main sweat on valorant
What are you doing here
I've been struggling to find a way to put similar feelings into words so thank you for doing so. The breathing analogy was spot on and I completely relate to not feeling that desire to rush to the PC and stream as soon as you wake up.
My content creation journey is still in its baby steps, but this video reassured me that pursuing happiness instead of 'streaming trendy things to remain competitive' is the direction I want to continue taking.
I hope more joy and peace keeps finding its way to you Poki, thank you for the video 🥳
You deserve time for yourself and do what you love!!! I respect your decision and am so proud of how far you’ve come and how much you have achieved. Thank you for being so honest and truly just being YOU! Love you girl🤍
This is my first time stumbling upon your channel and I have to say I appreciate the video that you created. I’m excited to see what your pivot in your journey is like so I’m excited to say that I am a new subscriber! Thank you for being brave and open about this.
Its weird how sometimes "time" just hits us up in the face, I remember the first time i watched one of your YT vids about league and got to know you through streaming, that you are roughly my age, so as you said, growing up, finishing college, getting a job, everything that live has to offer for me, sometimes you are so focus on what's next that we forget to see "behind" and watch what we just went through or stop to enjoy it to the fullest! Any case just do what make you smile! you've build up an amazing community that will support you regardless of what you are doing!
I know this must’ve been hard but I’m so glad you feel like you’re finding yourself 🥹 proud of you❤️❤️
LOVE YOU TALIA
The stans have arrived 🙄
TALIA
Nice comment Talia
shush
Good for you!!! You should never feel pressured to make content that stresses you out or messes with your mental health just to satisfy other people. Do YOU, and do whatever content you desire. Your real fans will support you no matter what. Just glad you were able to find yourself and figure it all out.
I've always loved your IRL videos and i'm so eager to see where you go now!! Do what feels right
Being a fan of almost 6 years, I'm glad to see you finding more of yourself now! I'll still follow you wherever you go and still love your content. I can't wait to see what happens next! We will always love you and whatever you choose ❤
I've never really watched your content or followed but I found myself watching this whole video. Good to hear you making the decisions that will be best for you and taking control of your content, not letting content dictate you. Thanks for the insight

@@farrout000 do you have to copy others to make your own decisions? Dont copy others, try to think of the life you want for yourself!
Same
Love your content and will keep supporting you regardless of where your passion and interests take you !
For what my words are worth, there isn’t a problem with doing more things. I feel like there is immense pressure on creators to do the same thing all the time when they don’t have to. Obviously, if you’re trying to grow your channel, then doing what works is a safe bet, but it doesn’t have to be, as Poki put it, your bread and butter. Go ahead and try new things, have fun, don’t worry about views or channel growth and focus on personal growth and your personal relationships. And to anyone that wants to diversify their lives or their content, I support you 100%
I’d love to see what other content you put out! You’re an amazing woman and you should absolutely do what makes you happy 🤍 excited to see what you explore
Excited for you!!! Keep traversing this crazy world in your own way and pave your own path❤️
Always amazes me how incredibly you hold and express yourself. You're so expressive and wholesome all the time. ❤️
i love your irl vlogs the most!! do whatever YOU want and it shines through!!
we love you poki and if you need a break for yourself, you do it. I hope you get the time needed to rest for your mental health and time to focus on you. Love u poki and you do you.

Honestly, I see this as the same/similar with Felix. Seeing him so relaxed, chill, and genuinely very happy on his videos makes a lot of us really happy for him. I think we're on the same boat with you. Wherever or whatever you do, people will be happy and will be with you on your journey. :)

first thing I thought of. she's doing a soft retirement in the same way he did. if you have the means to do so, if you collected enough wealth and fame; I cannot fathom why you would still grind when you don't genuinely enjoy it. you only have one life, so live it.
@@Purone4050 bro all I said was duh 😭💀
In early 2021 I stepped back and fully became aware of the rat race that was twitch and social media in general. I realized how much time over the years, and opportunities I had missed out on with family, friends, traveling, and simple stuff that I had turned down because I was afraid to take a break from the "grind". I realized how much I had let the internet and putting myself out there run my entire being and existence, and for what? I always enjoyed doing this stuff more when it was a hobby.
No one who is really good for you will care that you do what is best for you. You are definitely not alone ❤
Do what makes you happy! At the end of the day, that's all that matters. I hope you're doing well!

Super happy you’re doing other activities and adventures that don’t force you stay on a computer 8 hours everyday. This is very healthy to communicate and go on different adventures other than streaming. You aren’t a robot Poki, which is why I think any true supporter wouldn’t mind at all that you take breaks like this. Balance in life is the key to success and happiness. To many more!! ❤️

You do you girl!!! You are the only one that matters on your own path. I have seen a few things you have been in and I think your AMAZING!! Sure in the streaming and gaming realms sure it is important to do things you need. Stay strong, do not apologize for feeling or needing to step away. If those who have been with you on your amazing journey are TRUE the will ALWAYS understand and support you and your personal needs and life. Be well and stay safe my friend.
god i wish i could just take a month long break from work to focus on myself and figure out what i want to do in life. I've been feeling so burnt out and stuck in my 8-5 job, but I don't know what I would do or how I'd get by if I quit. It's such a blessing to be able to just sit back, take a deep breath, and evaluate how you want to structure your life from here on out. I wish I could say I'm not jealous, but I am happy for her that she has that possibility and think everyone deserves to have it too.
Do what you want, you've got yourself in an amazing position where you can realign and take breaks and look after yourself in the best ways. I wish I was able to but if I took 2 months off I wouldn't be able to live and that stress is more than work stress! I think a lot of people wish they could take the time and reposition themselves so I think most people will understand where you're coming from and back you all the way!

I watched you on the H3 podcast today and you are such a gem! I became a fan and subscribed to your channel. Excited to adventure into watching your content. Family family family ♥️
I agree, it's been difficult to come up with new content, been enjoying life offline and gaming more offline...take as much time as you want to be away, sometimes streaming and trying to please the world is too much.
And it's an unnecessary stress...
I admire, respect, and support your decision in you wanting to fully explore who is Imane Anys, and sharing that side of your life and adventure with your online fans. Keep doing you Poki and those that truly and wholeheartedly support you and what you do will appreciate, show their love, and follow you as well. You've done an amazing job so far and its clear your heart had great intentions for not just your fans, but for yourself and those around you as well. Appreciate you for opening up the way you did and wipe those tears, you got this!
we all here for you homie, so cool seeing you have a real good understanding of what you want -- i feel like a lot of people (myself included) struggle with that so it's really inspiring to see you figure all this out. excited for the future!!!!

Honestly, I LOVE when content creators do something like this. We grew up with you- but that should not restrict a content creator from growing up themselves. Follow your passion! Explore new worlds! Try pottery classes! (hehe). The true fans will always have your back through and through, change is natural and it is ok- it must feel very heavy having to say this after doing predominantly gaming and streaming for so long but I promise this will help you recharge and allow you to become what you've always wanted to be.
Obviously this sudden shift in content creation will be hard- but always remember that you have support groups within the real world and the online world cheering you on and supporting you in your chosen path. Pokimane, I really respect you for allowing yourself to make and post this video and I truly wish the best for you and your family
Good for you!! Taking time for yourself is also super important, don't get lost in the jumble of digital media =) You just leveled up!
i am so proud to see how much you've grown. i am proud of you. no matter what you decide to do in your life i will always support you. you remind me sm of my big sister she's such a boss like you and makes boss moves fr. i love her and i got love for you too. you're 26, like you said. there is so much things you want to explore within the rest of your 20's. you've accomplished sm and will accomplish much more in whatever you do. if you wanted to start reading books or poerty to your followers, so be it. if you wanted to take an even longer break so be it. whatever is best for you, Imane.
The fact that saying "I want to do higher quality content at the pace I want to do it" makes you so nervous speaks to the pressure that content creators unfairly face. Don't worry Poki, you're in the Beyonce/Jay-z phase of your career as a streamer. You're an og and a real vet in the space and taking a break shouldn't be a bad thing, it just means when you decide to turn the camera on its more of an event with people saying "Oh shit poki went live? Turn it on". I hope you feel supported and know your legacy in the streaming space is cemented and your fans are here to stay.
i really appreciate that segment of learning who you really are. Thank you poki, i don’t watch any of your stuff lol but i wish my mom would say something like that to me. 💛
Low key I would have been crying the whole video also. Can’t wait to see more of your everyday life!!! I love this new opportunity for growth you have given yourself. You’re still amazing and beautiful Pokimane, I love all the content you create!!
Being a content creator is like being an artist. You don’t have to just paint, there’s different forms of art, and there’s different forms of content creation as well. As humans, we never stop growing; we’re always changing and finding new ways to enjoy the wonders of life.
Get out there and enjoy life, you never know what new passion or love you may find while exploring your mind. It’s a big world out there, explore it while you can in whatever way you see fit.
To life😁🧡✨
Take care
Poki you’re at a point in your career where you can make major pivots and ppl will follow! This is so the right thing to do :) v understandable and thanks for being vulnerable with us! Look forward to your new directions.

good luck!!! 🤍
I've been thinking about starting streaming and I've been really trying to learn what kind of content I should do. If I were you Poki & anyone else who wants to stream, do more games and content that you want to do! Sure, it's nice to do fun new games that will get views but it's also good to do content that you like, so it doesn't wear you out as much. 💖
I'm not a streamer or anywhere near in the entertainment space. But I feel this exact same way about work. I'm a business analyst and the work is good but a part of me feels like I don't own my life anymore. Contract obligations and work pressure leave you with no time for yourself at the end of the week. Been thinking about taking my life into my own hands through business or other things that aren't just work, or in this case, streaming.
Welcome back! Will support you in whatever you do (secretly hoping you will do a stream with Grace, Bluefille, again in the future)Take your time in exploring and enjoying new things❤
Yep
We all know why she left. It’s cuz she got caught saying nga again😂😂😂
Proud of you always! You have my support no matter what! 💜
That really hit home. I'm only a year older, but I've been through most of what was said. It's liberating in a way to find yourself, think more clearly, and have a set goal to continue living in a healthy state of mind. Best of luck to all. Hope you all have a good day:)
I have been loving ur latest content and I'm excited for more! 💗
Loved the breathing analogy, it actually reminded me of all creators of great things whether it be painters, authors, musicians, scientists… the list goes on. Every phase of creation and discovery must be balanced by a period of rest and rejuvenation. Sometimes we are so in the moment that we get stuck. I enjoyed this video and I’m happy for you that you are consciously recharging.
Welcome back Poki! 💕 glad you're doing what you feel is healthy for you and focusing on what makes you happy!
Poki I have been watching you since the beginning and I am just so proud of you. Whatever you gotta do to stay your best person I say do it! Either way we will always continue to support you and love you for YOU.
I have never watched any of your streams or videos, all tough I have seen your name around. You truly seem like a genuine and adorable person I hope you stay on your path to being more you! I think you will do even better from now on! Stay amazing / M from Sweden
To new beginnings! I just recently left my 5.5 year job as a barista to start my first nursing job post grad :) I cried as I left so i understand your emotions during this announcement. Big things happening for everyone - excited to see any content you are happy to share with us!!
I’m glad you found things to do outside of work. You deserve to go after whatever you want even if that isn’t streaming! Looking forward to see your next adventure but will continue to enjoy your streams whenever you do stream.

I‘m really excited to see what comes next🥰 you change, your life changes and so does your content and i am so here for it
Good on you! Best of luck to your future, everyone needs breaks and time to think about their path. Thank you for everything you’ve given, and I hope you continue to do what you love 💖
I sincerely believe your next journey would be life-changing not just for yourself, but for many others who've been with you throughout your streaming career. I'm looking forward to hearing stories from how 'Pokimane changed my life'. This path towards purposeful fulfillment is going to be awesome! Cheering you on from Vancouver!
I feel you pokimane I care about all that my art touches and I know it’s no longer just mine when I release it. I’m happy for you making a step forward to do what you need to do for your life. I am proud of you and in agreement. Balance is key to life. You only get one might as well balance and do your Best. Love you and keep being real. I think people appreciate that more.
Wow this video actually helped myself a lot.. thank you poki for your knowledge ❤️
I love that you’re taking time to keep in touch with yourself! I love your variety content more than your games tbh and I’m a big gamer 😂 (still love that too tho). Your Korea videos were so fun to watch on stream. Keep breathing ❤
i just wanna say that no matter what you do or choose to do in the future, we will always be proud and supportive of you. you're simply envolving and growing more as a person and you should always do what makes you a better person and something that makes you happy without the pressure - if that makes sense. imane best person imo
I'm so happy for you Poki and I just wish you the best in everything I'll always be a die heart no matter the decisions, changes, or restrictions you have or make. But I really do feel like this needed to be said because I get the pressure of content creation and streaming daily and consistently doing that just for your viewer's and supporters' appeal but what more people need to understand is that all streamers and content creators are human and they sometimes have issues and breaks for THEIR comfort.😍🥰❤
Love you Poki!!! Do what ever you feel good doing, if it's disappearing for days, it's your life.I know you are thankful for all your followers that helped you get where you are, but you don't owe us anything. Be HAPPY and enjoy your life. Keep being awesome in whatever you do. 😘 Would love to see you in Mexico City someday, you would love it I think.
what u said about high school hit. it made me realize that i started watching you back in 2017 when i was 13 and now i'm graduating high school and going to college! like that's just insane
I'm very excited to go on that journey with you! Tbh I've started following you because I really liked you as a person and every content you make just motivates me in so many ways or sparks my own creativity.✨ So I would be really interested to see what kind of content you would want to do nowadays.
Besides from your gaming related videos, I personally love all the vlog videos or even would enjoy a journaling video from you. Or anything really xD
I just hope you find the right thing for you. That sparks Your creativity and joy 💕✨
Do what makes you feel good about yourself!
We Love you poki!!Just remember not to ever ever forget about yourself and Im so happy for you!! And thank you for this video!Ngl Im a baby too!II teared up bc I follow you since 2014 and it really feels like closing a long long chapter behind us but we are opening a new one!! Im really proud of you and I love you!
Kumusta and G'day from Australia and a proud Filipino! Just wanted say I stumbled across this lovely video of yours, I found it touching, educational, motivational, and inspiring! The message your conveying here I find very invaluable and I thank you!
I'm a freelance Illustration Artist based in Australia and I've been on the fence a little to start streaming any videos when I create illustration work but I love to share my work with everyone on different platforms and you run into the highs and lows which is difficult but the best part is we grow from them and use those experiences to grow into something even more greater. I hope you flourish even more now in what you do and love and find your peace.
Be blessed, take care, stay safe, stay healthy, keep happy, and all the very best in life!
Kind regards,
John ^.^

Well done lovely one and have a super break. You help so many 🥰
you're so cute lol. ill enjoy whatever you do as long as you're happy doing it! this def gave me lots of inspo to continue to be myself and not feel bad if something isn't working for me anymore. w'e're constantly changing beings and thats okay! love u poks you're doing gr8!
omg so happy you're finding your balance!!!!! This is amazing and it's a sign of great things to come!
thank you for sharing this. you are motivational and inspirational streamer to many of us. can't wait to see the journey and adventure you are going to have in the future 💜
So my pet tortoise gave birth to a fish today.

i’m really excited for this new journey and for you to step into new things. love u and i wish u nothing but happiness :)
Good Luck with everything> It will worked out for you!!
Glad you got to discover yourself more during your break :) You look like you’re in a happier place now! Keep breathing 😇
You've already done the hard work to gain a big fan base so no need to worry about what you decide to do. It's best to prioritize your happiness and do what you want to do, you already went through the stress of doing many streams, following trends and trying to grow as a creator, so no need to feel like you NEED to continue to do those things. Best of luck.
I've only recently discovered Poki but I also wanna cry... Why why is this
I'm looking forward to whatever is coming up in your life 💕💕💕
Honestly not a streamer or anything but creatively I feet this talk is very relatable to where I am in life right now, hope everyone find their center of inner peace and wellness 💙
You FEET WHAT
I'm happy for you, we all need balance in life. Being online a lot can be awful for our mental health. I can't wait to see you on h3h3 tomorrow!!! 💗
family!
Excited to see what you do next! To go on these new beginnings with you! I wish you all the best! Poki, you are amazing!😊❤
I can't begin to imagine how much effort it takes to talk about all that stuff...as a musician I too recognise the importance of taking a step back to breathe, I've often found myself going so hard at it that I then negatively impact myself and my creativity, taking breaks should be normalised, we all need to do it and see the world around us as well as doing what we enjoy 💜
i love absolutely everything you said ;;__;; esp the lil comic about disappearing for weeks/months, it's helped me realize things about myself and my work/creativity so thank you
its not a emotional topic at all. your choice just make it
emotional for her, have some decent understanding that people have different emotions!
This really hits home. I hope you find that sweet spot between work and yourself. At the end of the day there is always more time to put out content or do projects. But if you aren't taking care of yourself you will never be able to do any of the other things. So definitely take more mental rest days or weeks etc.
good luck on your way exploring your truly self ❤️
it really touched my heart and made me think that me too should look back to my life and make the things I really care about the most ❤️
You were the main reason I stuck around on Twitch when I first started watching streams (your days of maining League). You and the community were really awesome and easily the best first experience to twitch. This kept me on the platform and let me meet so many of my friends I have now and this wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t find you. Glad you’ve managed to find a sort of new lease on life and are able to do what you feel is best for you. I think the core of the community will all understand the decision and where you are coming from with it. Really puts things into perspective when you’ve achieved a level of happiness with yourself to not feel the need to chase something for the sake of chasing it. So good job on growing to where you have.
She is finally going through the pewdiepie path.
