Well ladies and gentlemen, let's get straight to the point: I'm going on a loooooong hiatus.

To be completely honest, this is something that has crossed my mind more than once. And I know that when making decisions for our own well-being, we don't necessarily owe everyone an explanation, especially when we KNOW we're doing what's best for ourselves.

BUT! If there's one thing that has brought me an infinite amount of happiness, it's YOU GUYS! So I couldn't possibly leave without letting you know. I owe you at least that much.

Now, being completely honest? I wouldn't say I've lost my motivation to write bots. I LOVE bringing my ideas to life and I absolutely LOVE interacting with all the crazy ideas you guys come up with ehehe, but I think I need to step away from this environment for a while and start focusing on myself.

I'm not happy with where I am right now. I'm not happy with myself nor with my personal or professional life.

Many of you know that I'm a filmmaker. I have my university degree and everything NSDJKFNDSK but there's this little bug constantly biting the back of my head and it's the fact that I haven't DONE ANYTHING with it. Not a single movie, not a short film outside of the ones I made during university

NOTHING.

One of the reasons I initially joined Janitor AI was precisely because of that. In Chile, emerging filmmakers who don't have connections within the industry RELY HEAVILY ON GOVERNMENT FUNDING. And after being rejected over and over again, I reached a point where I was so discouraged that I genuinely felt miserable.

That's when I stumbled upon Janitor AI, started writing my silly little bots, and honestly? I fell in love with it. Janitor AI introduced me to wonderful people and different approaches to writing. It gave me a place to express myself creatively and I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

But outside of this little corner of the internet, my life wasn't really getting any better.

I'm unhappy with my body. I genuinely struggle with the way I see myself and I've tried to change my physical condition a million times, only to end up right back where I started. A few months ago, I started going to the gym and I was actually feeling pretty good about myself. But eventually, I stopped and now I'm back where I started.

And I don't want that anymore.

I know having an ideal body doesn't automatically make you happy, but it would certainly help me get rid of a huge insecurity I've been carrying around for years.

Professionally, I also feel incredibly stuck.

About a year ago, I started working at a fast-food restaurant to have some sort of income while figuring things out. Little by little, however, that job started consuming me. I went from working 30 hours a week (part-time, which was originally meant to give me enough free time to pursue the career I actually studied for) to working 42 hours a week (full-time). At first, I was excited about earning more money, but slowly, it's been taking a toll on me. I barely have time for anything anymore. Sometimes I even end up working SIX DAYS A WEEK with only ONE DAY OFF, all while dealing with some of the most insufferable customers known to mankind.

And honestly? I'm exhausted.

That's why I want to start 2027 differently. I want to begin a new chapter of my life feeling proud of the person I am and the things I'm doing. I want to work on myself, rediscover my ambitions and finally start making things happen.

So I've decided to take a step back from Janitor AI for a while. I want to focus on myself and hopefully come back when I'm in a better place, when I'm happy with who I am and when I'm no longer carrying the weight of my own disappointment on my shoulders. It might take a long time or it might not. I genuinely don't know. But I do know I'll come back eventually because, if there's one thing I absolutely HATE, it's leaving promises unfulfilled. I've made so many promises regarding future bots and scenarios and I would genuinely hate myself if I never got around to fulfilling them. So don't think I've forgotten about them!

I'm a LITTLE disappointed that I didn't quite make it to 10K followers, BUT I'M STILL BEYOND HAPPY WITH MY 8.537 FOLLOWERS. I love you guys so so much and thank you for everything you've given me throughout this journey.

And, well, just in case I never come back and one day you happen to stumble upon a movie directed by some Chilean filmmaker that makes you go:

''Wait a minute...I KNOW THIS SCRIPT...''

''IT'S SO MID!''

Then you'll know your boy Kona managed to get just a little further in life and actually directed a movie Hehehe Anyway, I think that's all I have to say.

I'll see you later my loves. Take care of yourselves, PLEASE DON'T NEGLECT YOUR OWN WELL-BEING, and remember to be kind to yourselves.

With lots of love,

Your Kona ♡

See you later Kona nation
