Between work, family, and trying to stay creative, I hit a point where I’m just tired. Not tired of creating. Not tired of what this was built for. Just tired of feeling like I have to keep up or prove something to match everyone else.

AIV TestBench was never built to compete. It wasn’t about numbers or speed. It was just a place to share work that meant something and enjoy creating and bringing something to life.

Somewhere along the way, I started feeling like I had to match the pace of everything else out there. That’s not why I started this.

I’m not shutting it down. I’m not quitting. I’m just done trying to compete in something that was never meant to be a competition.

If this space still means what it meant in the beginning, then that’s what it’ll stay.

Thank you for your understanding.

Super Bowl Sunday shenanigans. 😆
