00:00:00
Okie dokie. I don't know why I'm
00:00:02
nervous. Hi everybody. It's Brooke here
00:00:05
and today is a really important video
00:00:08
for me. I know that I come on here
00:00:10
probably once a year and I talk to you
00:00:12
guys about how I don't post and that I'm
00:00:16
going to be so much better in the new
00:00:17
year and I don't do that. So that's why
00:00:20
I'm here today to do that all over
00:00:22
again. I just wanted to keep you guys
00:00:23
updated. I know a lot of you guys don't
00:00:25
follow my socials or follow me on
00:00:27
Twitch,
00:00:28
twitch.tv/brook. So, if you aren't aware
00:00:30
of what's going on, I am moving out of
00:00:33
Los Angeles. Essentially, I don't want
00:00:35
to cry because this is a really
00:00:38
emotional time for me, but pretty much
00:00:40
the second that I graduated college,
00:00:42
life moved really fast and I quickly got
00:00:46
an offer from Nage and Hundred Thieves
00:00:48
to move down here to Los Angeles and
00:00:51
continue my content creation career here
00:00:54
at the content house. Oh my god. I don't
00:00:56
know. Like, I was like, okay. Like I
00:00:58
don't know why I'm crying right now. One
00:00:59
second. So pretty much since I was about
00:01:03
21 years old, now I am 27. My entire
00:01:07
life has been here in Los Angeles with
00:01:10
Hundred Thieves and my content creation
00:01:12
friends here. So this is a really,
00:01:15
really big change for me. I'm really
00:01:17
excited. I'm going to be moving to Texas
00:01:19
to live with my boyfriend. If you guys
00:01:22
don't know who he is, my boyfriend
00:01:23
Symphony Mason. We're taking the next
00:01:26
step together. We have a house together
00:01:28
and we are going to be living together
00:01:31
which I'm so excited about. We've always
00:01:33
lived, not always, we've really been off
00:01:35
and on like long distance for a while,
00:01:38
but I'm really excited. This is the
00:01:40
first time that we haven't had
00:01:41
roommates. So, we have a house that's
00:01:44
just us to kind of take that next
00:01:45
chapter of our life. So, I'm really
00:01:47
excited for that. I don't know. This is
00:01:49
like a crazy tangent to go off on, but
00:01:51
I'm just going to riff with y'all. I
00:01:54
have thought a lot about this. lots of
00:01:56
my career is here in Los Angeles. You
00:01:58
know, job offers that I get, 100
00:02:00
Thieves, you know, kind of most of my
00:02:03
work is here. And so, a lot of people
00:02:05
are like, why would you leave? And while
00:02:07
it's a valid question, my entire goal in
00:02:10
life has always been and like will
00:02:13
always be I've always wanted to be a
00:02:15
mom. I've always wanted to be a wife.
00:02:17
Like I just that is what would make me
00:02:19
happiest. And I feel like this is the
00:02:21
next step to kind of reaching that. And
00:02:24
so like obviously I'll continue with my
00:02:26
content creation and everything like
00:02:28
that, but it's just the next step for me
00:02:30
and Mason and our relationship. I know
00:02:33
what I want out of life and I know what
00:02:35
I'm searching for and I'm not searching
00:02:37
to be the biggest streamer and to you
00:02:40
know make it to the big leagues and star
00:02:43
and all the like I want to make enough
00:02:45
money to support my family and I want to
00:02:47
have you know couple of kids. Six. No,
00:02:50
I'm just kidding. Mason doesn't want six
00:02:52
kids, so I guess we'll have three. No.
00:02:55
Um, I know what I'm searching for in
00:02:57
life and that's what that is. So, I just
00:03:00
feel like it's the next logical step.
00:03:01
It's the right time, but there's a lot
00:03:03
of memories and a lot of friendships
00:03:06
and, you know, I'm leaving a lot behind
00:03:08
here in LA. So, it is a really emotional
00:03:10
time and it's really hard for me, but I
00:03:12
know that it's for the best in the long
00:03:14
run, but I can't help but think about
00:03:16
memories. You know, memories from the
00:03:18
old content house. memories from Hundred
00:03:21
Thieves camps and video shoots. I can't
00:03:26
help but think of crazy ridiculous
00:03:29
parties that we threw at the Hundred
00:03:31
Thieves house where we just invited
00:03:33
everybody that we knew. Yeah, it so
00:03:36
it's, you know, it's bittersweet for
00:03:38
sure. I'm I'm very excited, but also
00:03:41
it's hard. One thing that I am very
00:03:43
excited about moving, I love decorating
00:03:46
and I love recreating a space. So, I
00:03:49
have ordered a ton of stuff and I'm
00:03:52
really excited to kind of officially see
00:03:53
a space that is just mine in Mason's,
00:03:56
but I was redoing our living room and
00:03:58
all I could think about was how we
00:04:01
needed a better
00:04:04
TV. When I'm laying in bed watching TV,
00:04:07
I want to be immersed in the show or
00:04:09
movie and see it well. That's how I knew
00:04:11
it was time to upgrade my tiny TV to a
00:04:13
big screen. I decided to do my research
00:04:15
and found the 85 inch QM7K from TCL and
00:04:19
I cannot believe this TV. It is
00:04:23
absolutely huge. It is gorgeous and I
00:04:26
can't wait for you guys to see the
00:04:27
picture. Now that I have this TV, I can
00:04:30
sit back, relax, and watch my favorite
00:04:32
movies and shows without struggling to
00:04:34
see. The new Halo control system allows
00:04:36
for a vivid picture with no light bleed.
00:04:38
It has an LED chip and dual focus lens
00:04:41
that makes it brighter and more vibrant
00:04:42
for an immersive experience. With
00:04:44
advanced features like precise dimming,
00:04:46
enhanced HDR, and Cris glow
00:04:48
anti-reflective technology, you can
00:04:50
enjoy the best in visual clarity, color,
00:04:53
and contrast. Whether you're watching a
00:04:54
movie, sports, your favorite YouTuber,
00:04:57
or gaming in any space, you will love
00:04:59
it. This is a major step up with more
00:05:01
zones and brightness than last year's
00:05:03
QM7 model. The premium audio system from
00:05:05
Bang & Olivesson delivers an immersive
00:05:07
sound, turning your living room into a
00:05:09
theater. If you're looking for the next
00:05:10
generation of premium TVs, head over to
00:05:13
tcl.com and pick up the TCL QM 7K. You
00:05:16
won't be disappointed. Peanut is also
00:05:19
very excited to go to Texas, right, P?
00:05:22
Are you excited to go to Texas, baby?
00:05:24
Come here. Oh, you want to go to Texas,
00:05:26
baby? Oh, you say hello. Oh, bless you.
00:05:30
I'm sad. Like, I'm I'm like so happy and
00:05:32
I'm so excited. Like if I could be there
00:05:34
right now, I would. But I'm also really
00:05:36
sad at the same time. I mean, Jack is
00:05:39
I've lived with Jack for 5 years now at
00:05:41
the old content house and now his house.
00:05:44
And I don't know, like I'm really sad. I
00:05:47
am very sad. He has been the best
00:05:50
roommate/landord/friend. I mean, just so
00:05:52
many great memories. So that is going to
00:05:54
be a really big change for me. But also,
00:05:57
like I said, I'm very excited. I mean,
00:05:59
it's it's a completely different
00:06:01
chapter. So, we take, you know, every
00:06:04
every new challenge with open arms. I
00:06:07
mean, I moved when I moved down to LA, I
00:06:09
moved from Oregon and I didn't know
00:06:12
anybody down here. I just took a risk
00:06:15
and told everyone, "I'll see you next
00:06:17
time." And I moved down here. So, it
00:06:20
worked out beautifully for me. I made
00:06:22
amazing friends. I made I mean, lifelong
00:06:24
relationships and friends that I would
00:06:26
never make anywhere else. So, I'm just
00:06:28
so lucky and grateful and I can only
00:06:31
hope for that in my new journey. So,
00:06:34
lots of changes, but I'm excited as
00:06:36
well. I I hope this doesn't come across
00:06:38
as too like, oh my god, what am I going
00:06:42
to do? Like, I'm like actually really
00:06:44
excited. Hi, baby. Peanut, you want to
00:06:46
move to Texas? Wait, let's do one of
00:06:48
those videos. Hold on, I'm going to turn
00:06:50
on the TV. Let's do one of those videos
00:06:52
where the dogs like freak out where it's
00:06:53
like do this if you want your dog to
00:06:55
like make cute sounds.
00:06:59
What is
00:07:00
that? What is that? No, it's a toy.
00:07:03
Stop. Come on. I'm actually so curious
00:07:06
what everybody's favorite I guess memory
00:07:10
is. Like whether it's the Hundred
00:07:11
Thieves Content House or like a video
00:07:14
that Mason and I did together. Like I
00:07:17
just want to know what people kind of
00:07:20
loved about this LA ark because we're
00:07:22
gonna be going to a different ark. We're
00:07:24
going to be going to our Texas ark and
00:07:26
I'm going to be doing a lot more like
00:07:28
cooking streams and like IRL stuff
00:07:31
around the house. So, it's going to be a
00:07:33
change, but hopefully a good one for
00:07:35
people. So, let me know in the comments.
00:07:37
Like I want to know what you guys liked,
00:07:38
what you didn't like, what you want to
00:07:40
see more of, what you want to see less
00:07:42
of, cuz we're in a whole different ball
00:07:44
game. So, we'll see how it goes. Okay,
00:07:47
so let's talk about my time in Los
00:07:50
Angeles a little bit. I made so many
00:07:53
amazing friends, especially through
00:07:55
Hundred Thieves and especially like just
00:07:57
mutual friends. And I think this might
00:08:01
sound a little bit weird, but I think I
00:08:02
really focused a big chunk of my time on
00:08:05
fitting in and like wanting people to
00:08:08
want me to be a part of their group or
00:08:09
or whatever. It's like you're in LA,
00:08:11
like you want to hang out with the cool
00:08:13
kids or whatever. And it's like that's
00:08:16
kind of been a big part of my move was
00:08:18
like accepting that, okay, you have a
00:08:21
ton of amazing friends that love you for
00:08:24
you and you don't have to fit in or be
00:08:26
the biggest streamer because I will say
00:08:28
like I'm not stupid. Like I know I don't
00:08:30
get a lot of viewers or I don't get, you
00:08:33
know, pretty much viewers. like this
00:08:35
world revolves around viewers. And I was
00:08:38
like essentially kind of like cut off
00:08:41
from a lot of people when my viewer
00:08:44
count dropped. And so that was kind of a
00:08:46
big wakeup call for me where it was like
00:08:48
some people are only going to see your
00:08:50
value if they can benefit from it or if
00:08:52
they get numbers from it. Otherwise, you
00:08:55
are a background character. You are
00:08:56
there when it's convenient for people,
00:08:59
you know, whatever. And I just like I
00:09:02
spent so long being okay with that. that
00:09:03
and I'm not okay with that anymore. It's
00:09:05
not that I'm not okay with that. Like I
00:09:07
love I love everyone that I've met, you
00:09:09
know, especially through streaming and
00:09:10
stuff like that. I'm still going to
00:09:11
stream and I still my friends, but there
00:09:13
are like sometimes where it's like you
00:09:15
try too hard to be liked, to be
00:09:18
included, to be, you know, any of those
00:09:20
things and it's like it should come
00:09:22
naturally. And so me like trying super
00:09:25
hard is just like what does that help? I
00:09:27
I don't know. But that was a real wakeup
00:09:29
call for me was like you have a [ __ ] ton
00:09:31
of great friends. You have family that
00:09:32
loves you. you have an amazing
00:09:34
boyfriend, a great career, like what
00:09:36
else could you want? And that was kind
00:09:38
of my wakeup call where it was like, you
00:09:40
got everything that you ever asked for
00:09:41
that you prayed for, and now we move on
00:09:44
to the next chapter, and I need to like
00:09:47
I told myself like, stop begging for
00:09:49
acceptance or, you know, wanting to fit
00:09:52
in when you have an amazing crew of
00:09:55
people around you already. So, it's been
00:09:58
a big growth year for me. Like it it
00:10:00
really took a lot to kind of just say
00:10:02
we're moving on to the next chapter cuz
00:10:04
it's scary. It really is scary. But I
00:10:06
just kind of wanted to give a quick
00:10:08
little update video. I mean, I'm going
00:10:09
to be moving. I want to do some like
00:10:12
design updates and like IRL based stuff
00:10:16
with moving. So hopefully we can get
00:10:18
that up to you guys pretty soon. It's
00:10:21
going to take a while. Obviously I have
00:10:23
to move, get things sorted, get
00:10:24
furniture, all of that stuff. Especially
00:10:27
my stream room. I'm excited for you guys
00:10:28
to see. I'm going to do my library and
00:10:30
my stream room allin one. So, it's going
00:10:32
to be really big and really grand and
00:10:34
I'm really excited for that. So,
00:10:36
hopefully you guys are excited to see
00:10:37
that as well. But yeah, I I hope that
00:10:40
you guys stick with me to this next
00:10:42
chapter cuz Mason and I were moving in.
00:10:45
He's stuck with me and I can't wait. So,
00:10:48
yeah. So, drop some love. Make sure you
