🕊️ Important. Personal.
I've made a decision that wasn't easy for me.
I'm stepping away from creating bots.
Maybe not forever. Maybe it's just a pause that'll stretch longer than planned. But right now, I feel like I can't do this anymore.
It's not about numbers or lack of support — there's always been enough of that. It's about me. I'm just so tired. So tired that even breaks stopped helping. Because during breaks, I was still thinking: "What should I make next? Which bot should I release?" And in the end, I wasn't resting — I just wasn't creating. But the thoughts never went away.
I want to just be a user. I want to occasionally log in, interact with other people's bots, enjoy them without the weight of responsibility. I want to remember what it feels like to be on the other side.
But I'm not leaving without saying goodbye properly.
I will release Tyler. I will release the Panic! album. I want to say goodbye on the right note — the one we all deserve. With the stories that mattered.
I'm not deleting the channel. I'm not deleting my Janitor account. Everything we built together stays here. And if one day I feel like I can come back — I will. Until better times, so to speak.
Thank you for everything. For every message, every emotion, for reading my bots, loving them, hating them, saving them, ruining them. You made this little part of my life incredibly warm.
I'm still here. Until Tyler. Until the album. And then — into the quiet, to hear myself again.
Love you.
Yours, Maxisssss. 💫
