Hiatus Announcement 💜✨ I’ve been trying to find the right way to say this, and I still don’t really know if there is a perfect way to put everything I’m feeling into words. The truth is that lately I haven’t been doing well. I’ve been trying really hard to keep going, keep streaming, keep creating, keep smiling, keep showing up and being the Captain you all know… but inside, I feel like I’ve been slowly falling apart. And I think I’ve reached a point where I need to stop pretending I can just push through everything. So for now, I’ve decided to take a hiatus from streaming and content creation. I need to disconnect for a while. I need time and space to breathe, rest, heal, get the help I need, and hopefully find my way back to feeling like myself again. Streaming means so much to me. I genuinely love being with you, playing games together, reacting to things, screaming at horror games, laughing at stupid moments, reading chat, planning events and just spending time with my Boocaneers. Creating content has been such a huge part of my life for so many years, and that hasn’t changed. I still love it. But right now, I don’t want something I love so much to become another source of pressure while I’m already struggling. I don’t want to sit in front of a PC trying to give everyone smiles while feeling like I’m breaking inside. I think I need to give myself permission to stop for a little while. To exist without worrying about the next stream, the next video, numbers, schedules, posts or whether I’m doing enough. I don’t know how long I’ll need. I don’t want to give myself a return date, because I don’t want healing to become another deadline I have to meet. I just want to take things one day at a time. And when I feel okay again, when I start feeling like me again, I want to come back. I want to return when streaming feels exciting again. When I can laugh without forcing it. When I can be your Captain because I genuinely have the energy and happiness to be there with you. I’m also not disappearing completely. I’ll probably be much quieter for a while, but when I have the energy, I’ll still try to pop into Discord from time to time. Maybe to say hello. Maybe to share something silly. Maybe just to spend a little time with you. So if you see me around, it doesn’t necessarily mean the hiatus is over. Sometimes I might just need to be Mavie, without the pressure of being a creator. I also want to say thank you. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through every version of myself. Some of you knew me when I was creating in Spanish, and you were still here when I took the leap and started creating in English. You watched me change, grow, start over and slowly find the version of myself that felt the most like me. Whether you’ve been here for years or only recently boarded the Boo Pearl, you’ve given me so many beautiful memories. You’ve celebrated my achievements with me, laughed with me, supported my silly ideas, watched me fail at games, scream at horror games and somehow turned this little corner of the internet into something that feels like home. That means more to me than I know how to explain. This isn’t goodbye. I just need some time. Time to disconnect. Time to breathe. Time to heal. Time to take care of the person behind Captain Mavie. And time to hopefully find myself again. For now, I’m going to take things slowly and focus on getting better. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for supporting me through every version of myself. And thank you for being my Boocaneers. I love you all so much. 👻🏴‍☠️💜✨
