The Dream of a Police Career
Why did her dream fail? In a recently released TikTok video, HoneyPuu stated that she originally wanted to be a police officer. She was fascinated by the idea of working as a patrol officer and being part of patrols. “That’s what I wanted. Where the real action happens,” she said.
According to her, she could not realize this dream because due to her illness, she would only have been allowed to work in administration or in an office. HoneyPuu suffers from scoliosis, a condition that causes a lateral curvature of the spine.
She explains that this limitation excluded her from certain police duties, including carrying a weapon or working in the field.
Therefore, she says that this career wish was unfortunately just a brief phase because she was sorted out so quickly.
Openness about her Scoliosis
What does she say about her illness? HoneyPuu has previously spoken about her illness. In an emotional TikTok video from last year, she shared her experiences with scoliosis.
In a TikTok video, she talked about her personal experiences with scoliosis and how the deformity affects her life.
A particular experience she shared was the delivery of a 30 kg package that she had to carry to the first floor. Since she is limited due to her scoliosis, she asked the delivery man for help. However, he refused, which led HoneyPuu to educate her fans about her illness and the challenges in everyday life.
To give her viewers a better understanding of scoliosis, she showed a picture of a curved spine that is similar to her own. She explained that the lateral curvature of the spine and the pelvic tilt are clearly visible.
Additionally, she explained that her scoliosis developed at the age of 13 and was not congenital.
Humor Despite Challenges
Despite her scoliosis, HoneyPuu always maintains her sense of humor. In a stream, she showed her viewers how she stands when she does not actively try to stand up straight. While doing so, she joked: “This is the Leaning Tower of Pisa – no, of Isa, sorry”.
Her relaxed and humorous way of dealing with her illness is one of the reasons why she is so popular with her fans.
In Tim Gabel’s podcast, the German Twitch streamer Fibii also explains why she gave up her dream job of becoming a federal police officer and instead chose a career on Twitch.
