Hi. My name is Aria. I'm a Ukrainian cosplayer and a beginner Twitch streamer.

I enjoy streaming. I think it's because it helps me feel a little less alone.

I used to stream on TikTok, but almost immediately after starting my broadcasts, I began receiving warnings about supposedly inappropriate content, even though there was nothing like that on my streams. Eventually, I decided to move to Twitch. I set up my channel, created a donation page, and started making plans. My birthday was coming up, and I thought I would do another TikTok stream after it.

But on May 24, my grandmother passed away.

After that, my life changed a lot.

Now I spend most of my time at home with my little brother. My mother works a lot, and my husband is at war, so I rarely go anywhere.

Yes, I do have friends and a cosplay team, and I’m really grateful for their support. But everyone has their own lives, responsibilities, and things to do. So most of the time, I still end up staying at home.

At some point, streaming became my way of coping. It gave me a place to talk to people, distract myself, and feel like I’m not completely alone.

On my very first stream, someone botted my channel with fake viewers and followers. It upset me to the point of tears because I wanted to grow honestly, on my own.

Right now, I mostly do Just Chatting streams. My computer sometimes struggles to handle even the stream itself, and a new PC is far too expensive for me right now.

If you're interested, here is my Twitch: [https://m.twitch.tv/asartus\_khajiit](https://m.twitch.tv/asartus_khajiit)

I also made a few stream backgrounds myself, which I’ll share.

Thank you for reading this to the end.

I just wanted to leave this here.

Maybe someone will like what I do.
