    Recently there was a girl crying uncontrollably in a parking lot with papers scattered around her, with her hands in her face, I was on an emergency call with work watching people walk and drive by her slowly, not asking if she is okay. When I got off of the phone and turned my car around to drive over to her she was gone. I drove all around the grocery store looking for her. My heart hurts I wasn't able to help her. This was 2 weeks ago and I can't stop thinking about if she is okay.

    Oh really he told me the story that a German tourist asked him to take a picture and then a sealion ( not himself) pushed him to the surface. What's up with that.

    I only wish I could show my brother this video, his bipolar took his life at his own hands. It has taken parts of my parents with him. Parts they will never get back. It has changed our family forever

    I told my mom the same story that you told us in West Plaines today (but shorter) and she started crying. And then I told her your on UA-cam and she told me to put it on her phone. So thanks for the great presentation today Mr. Hines:)

    I saw you tonight at St. Dominic. Thank you for your story. My birthday is March 17th, I was adopted as well. But unlike you at birth. I heard your story years ago and it was very powerful to me. I was thankful and excited to hear you were coming to my daughters school. Your message is so important. My best friend killed himself in 2003. Had I been armed with your story ability to ask him the right questions I wonder if he might still be here. It doesn’t matter anymore. But it gives me comfort to know that it won’t happen again. Thank you for your passion and your story!

    My son Joseph put himself in treacherous harm that led to his death...I think it was suicide by proxy... Anyway, that's what I think...I can't bear to think of him being in such mental anguish and I could not reach him from the depths of my own chasm...truth is stranger than fiction but it hurts all the same. #BeHereTomorrow

    To God be the glory this man is alive today. God most certainly has a plan for his life that is and will continue to help many! Without a test, there is no testimony. It was God's will for that sea lion to be there at the exact moment he hit the water. May God continue to renew his heart and many others who are hearing this message. May God bless you all in Jesus name!!!

    Maybe I'm picking it up wrong, maybe it's just hard to decipher the tone he's giving across / portraying with the accent he has! but to me, a mere minimal 2 minutes in, - it sounds like he's calling the Motel Owner seedy and what-not... I don't think that's very fair, if it was this particular person that actually "saved" him and his Sibling from their Parents... I'm sure the Motel Owner put great thought into what the outcome of that Phone-Call might be. Would these kids get hurt if he did anything the Parents dis-agreed with or didn't like the idea of... Would any Drug-Dealers involved turn on him or indeed his own Family and hurt them..... The general consensus is that, "Nobody likes a Rat!" lol.. I'm pretty sure he was under pressure and knew there was a lot at stake making that Phone-Call to the Cops to get the kids out and away from that situation. He appeared to speak about the Motel-Owner negatively calling him seedy but it looks like he was trying to help! Just though he was a bit un-fair there.

    Woman cries in public = everybody asks are you ok Man cries in public = wow don’t touch or talk to that guy could be cray cray Male get told they don’t express themselves Gynocentrism doesnt help what they do instead is blame the victim it’s your toxic masculinity that’s hurting you son.. yeah the American psychology association says traditional masculinity hurts men when really it’s gynocentrism its the biggest gynocentric field ever sometimes you can get help from your average therapist but other times I’d say contact ncfm or contact people /therapist like Tom golden or Paul Elam those guys will get you when the others won’t and you can connect with others like you

    Honey, did you ever think you had to go through this because you were hand picked to be God's messenger to prevent others from harming themselves? It seems you are taking your job very seriously and I don't doubt you're words have encouraged others who walked your path to seek help before it was too late. If you hadn't gone through you're experience, you could've never done that.

    I’ve been in this condition several times out in public because I had to get away from the cause of my depression which happened to be my family, hoping that someone, any stranger, ANYONE, would approach me and just ask me if I’m okay. I would have answered very honestly, emphatically “NO” and that I need help. But that person seems to never be around.
