FAMI-LEE MEMORY LANE (2025)

HOW IT ALL STARTED

It all started a few months before December 2023.
Back then, I was still working my previous job andddd… I wasn’t happy. I was bored. Not the normal bored where I just need a new hobby. This one felt heavier. I woke up tired and i felt stuck. I remember thinking, is this really it?

I’ve always loved music. I like talking about music. Alllllllways. And for so long, I’ve wanted to be a content creator. I wanted friends from everywhere. Different countries, different timezones. But I kept postponing it for years. I always said I’m not ready. Maybe later. Maybe someday.

The truth is, my comfort zone is my privacy. I like being invisible. I like not being seen. And in my head, being a content creator meant showing your face, exposing yourself, giving everything up. Being faceless felt impossible for me at the time. Like yeahhh,, nice idea, but unrealistic.

Around that time, I was watching YouTube a lot. Like A LOT (all caps to exaggerate how much it is lol). In my brain, content creator = YouTuber. Streaming wasn’t even in the picture yet. I watched Nik Nocturnal almost every day. His videos, his Twitch clips. I don’t even know why, but I couldn’t stop. Watching him talk about music with his community felt so alive. So warm and it mesmerized me.

I remember thinking, I want that. I really want to talk about music, or just chitchat with a lot of people from all over the world.

But I still didn’t start. Streaming felt scary. So instead of starting, I just kept watching. Thinking. Imagining myself doing it, but never actually doing it :v

Then one day, I found out about Corpse Husband. A huge content creator. Faceless. Nobody knows his real identity. And for some reason, it felt like someone finally saying, “Hey Elyne, you don’t have to show your face if you don’t want to ๐Ÿคท‍♀️.”

I remember saying to myself, YESSSS. If he can do that, I can too!

Not long after that, I watched a video that said something simple. You can be a YouTuber by being a streamer too. Streaming can be your process. You go live, you create, and later it becomes your YouTube content. And that idea just clicked to me. Suddenly, this whole thing didn’t feel that impossible anymore.

A few months before December 2023, I resigned from my job. I didn’t have a plan, and I didn’t feel ready. I was soooo scaredd. But I knew one thing. I couldn’t keep delaying this anymore. I wanted to really jump into this content creator world and see what happens.

I made my account on December 11th, 2023, and started streaming for the first time on December 18th. No cam, no mic, and it was only a 2-hour stream. I remember playing some rapid games on chess.com.

I chose to stream chess because streaming music alone, without a camera or microphone, felt too empty. Simply playing music without live commentaries did not feel engaging to me. Chess was the only thing I somewhat knew how to do, and more importantly, it did not require having a microphone or a camera on. It allowed me to stream quietly, focus on the game, and ease myself into streaming in a way that felt comfortable.

What’s funny is, I literally had no idea how streaming worked that day. I just kept playing without even thinking to check the stream or the chat, in case someone said something. LMAOOOO. I was just there, vibing, completely clueless. (I even only found out about the stream dashboard thing days later ๐Ÿ’€ and it said there was 1 message in that stream and IDK WHO or WHAT they said omg.)

But I ended the stream with a happy heart. Clicking that start live button for the first time felt like crossing a line I had been scared to cross for years. And somehow, from that day on, my life slowly started to change.

ELLY'S STREAMER ANNUAL RECAP 2025

















Sometimes I look back and still can’t believe how this started. I began streaming with a 10-year-old laptop, no camera, no microphone, and a lot of fear. I didn’t have much, but I had the courage to start anyway. Now, slowly, I’ve built a space with proper gear and music instruments, things I once only imagined having, and all of this is possible because of Familee’s support. It’s not about the equipment itself, but what it represents—growth, patience, and a dream that kept moving forward.
*I’ll be sharing a list of my stream gear soon, as a small reminder of how far this journey has come together.

Looking back at this journey, I feel nothing but gratitude. None of this would have been possible without Familee, without the people who showed up, supported me, and believed in this space even when I was still figuring things out. Every stream, every message, and every shared moment meant more to me than words can fully express.

There are still so many goals, dreams, and wishes I’m carrying into the next year. I don’t know exactly where this path will lead, but I’m excited to keep going, learning, and creating more memories together ๐Ÿ’›

I also want to take a moment to thank my top supporters, gifters, and cheerers. Your support, in every form, meant more to me than I can ever properly explain. Whether it was bits, subs, gifts, or simply being there consistently, you helped make this journey possible.

This appreciation isn’t about rankings or numbers. It’s about gratitude. Every kind word, every presence in chat, and every bit of support mattered deeply to me ๐Ÿ’›


*A memory of everyone who supported this journey so far
