I’ve finally made this silly little substack account! I’m excited for you all to get to know me a bit more intimately. Some of you probably know me from your late-night searches on some particular websites and you might be saying to yourself,
“I think I know them pretty intimately already!”
The truth is you don’t. You have seen a side of me that many people aren’t comfortable sharing on the internet, but I was. I didn’t bat an eye at the vulnerable “positions” that I was in for your entertainment. Honestly, sharing my thoughts and feelings on my life, my experiences, feels much more vulnerable and scarier than that ever was.
I feel like I’ve been micro-dosing being more vulnerable when I stream on Twitch. I started streaming in January of 2024 and it’s been a very liberating experience after having been a rather private person for some years. For a while there, the most vulnerable I would get on the internet was in the last 10-20 minutes of my live shows on my website. After the big “finale” I would sit and chat with my viewers and talk about my life lately, my health and my hopes for the future. I’m grateful for the viewers who always made me feel safe and supported, they really made me feel appreciated when showing up as my authentic self and inadvertently encouraged me to start streaming.
Now here I am, writing for the first time in many years and feeling absolutely giddy about it. There is so much to fill you in on.
Hi Kris, thank You for inviting us into Your world! While i won’t admit where i first discovered You, i will say that seeing Your joy and vulnerability on screen has been such a sweet surprise. i am so excited to hear Your stories! i am so grateful for the safe, queer, and neurodiverse community You have created.
