Bro I am still broke And it's 2024
where are you now bro?
@@TReX88147 On my way back 😎
My whole life I thought I was poor now I’m confident that I’m poor this guy will be okay 😅
People are so shit they don’t got no Mercy 💩
me 2 my friend me 2
so great to see you Kyle, the house looks great! All the best
@@highlandsminiatures Thanks so much! I think so, I’ve got a vinyl floor now, white goods, bed, and other essentials so it’s looking (and feeling) more like a home. There’s some new photos of the place on IG if you fancy having a look. ☺️
Great to see you online again Kyle.
@@ganneswilliams641 It’s great to hear from you again, too 😁 hope you are well👏
@@ThisIsKylesLife I am okay thanks Kyle.Thanks for asking.I hope you are well too.Take care always.👍👋
@@ganneswilliams641 That makes me happy to know all is well! All is getting better here as I turn the page on a new chapter. Looking forward to what happens next.
@@ThisIsKylesLife Good on you Kyle.Whatever that is,we know you will be a success.All us followers wish you the best.
That’s really kind of you! I’m just grateful to you and others for being so patient with me these past couple of years. Thank you ☺️
Best wishes for your new pad Kyle!
@@John_P_Martin Thanks John! 🤞
Pleasure Kyle. Just surprised to see you in Crieff after being such an ambassador for Blairgowrie with your videos over the last few years. I wonder if Crieff knows what’s about to hit it! 😂
@@John_P_Martin I’m surprised too, but the local council housing register only gives us one opportunity to accept a home that they offer us. If we didn’t accept it, it could have been months or years before the next offer. I’ll still be able to get a bus to Blairgowrie and create content there but it’s also a nice opportunity to be able to add a new location to the collection of videos. I’m hearing that Crieff is a popular tourist destination so we might be able to help tourists in Crieff to discover Blairgowrie through the new videos 🤞😅 Haha! 😂 yeah, I wonder if Crieff is ready for us! 🤣
I’ll be in Crieff sometime soon, so I will warn them! You’ve always displayed such warmth and positivity that I don’t have any doubts you’ll find outlets for creativity there - they will probably find you, in fact. It’s what happened when I moved to the Other Blair (Atholl). Hesitant to offer advice, but I found it liberating to accept fully that Blair Atholl is my new home, not just a place to sleep while the rest of my life was still somewhere else. Try and live in two places and you’ll live in neither. I’ll shut up now 😂
Haha! They do say word of mouth is the best method 🤣. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts, it’s always nice to hear when folks enjoy the experience, so thank you. What are you enjoying most about Blair Atholl?
Scottish regiments were the shock troops of the Great British Empire🇬🇧🇨🇦
I hope this man is alright now
Wow, absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
If you get the chance, explore Perthshire. It’s one of Scotlands most scenic shires.
I stayed there in 2004. Wow, I’m old. 😂
I feel your pain i lost everything
Where are you Kyle ?
I’m still around ;) Been spending some time caring for my grandparents in their time of need. Planning to create again soon. ☺️
This video has made me appreciate the little city I live in more. Thank you.
I appreciate that, thank you ☺️
If I were him, I'd grease myself
27 and I’m broke af too in the lowest point of my life it’s sucks I hope you’re doing better today and who ever reading this keep you’re head up there’s gonna be people who are gonna try and bring you down lower then you are but fuck em never give up 💯💯
I'm in the streets havent eaten for days surviving on water.
Hey man be safe, i came here just to see that I'm not the only one who's poor, and it makes me sad
🌞 Thank you Kyle! Preparing as a tour leader for taking a Swedish hiking group Blairgrowrie. We will stay for a week and just hit the Berry season. So inspired by your video! 🌞Aviaja
Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️ I really hope you enjoy your holiday here! Hopefully you’ll get to taste some fresh berries!
I love this Kyle I have walked this way often, never in the. Snow. I feel as if I am walking on my footprints what a pleasure this has been.Thank you.JD
Im so happy you’ve enjoyed it! We don’t tend to get much snow these days during the winter so it’s always magical when we do get treated to a winter wonderland ☺️
I'm from rattray blairgowrie. I'm long overdue a wee trip home 💙
Wow! It’s great to meet a fellow local! 😁
often itseems life is worse than death
We have been homeless/living in our vehicle for three yrs now. I'm so tired of being homeless too...not being able to rest, eat better food, going weeks without a shower, and constantly hunting for a bathroom (I have IBS btw....), and just not having our own space/place away from the judgemental eyes of a careless society, who views us/other homeless people as scum/people who need to disappear so they can enjoy their materialistic lifestyle, etc....we are doing the best we can out here, but apparently that isn't enough. We don't bother anyone or ask anyone for money. We have no friends, and our relatives don't even care. It's hard out here. People just don't even know what it's like, and they assume you're either on drugs, prostitute or looking for a handout...smdh...😡🤦♀️ They think you're just lazy, making excuses, and haven't tried to seek assistance, which we have, and it's a JOKE, not even worth it.....I am an AuDHDer, bipolar with a mood/anxiety disorder; OCD, and C-PTSD. My two daughters are also Autistic, and my son works to try to support us. When we're sick, we have to deal with it in the minivan, and it's no fun when it's freezing outside, and you have a temp.... 😢 I found your video when I typed in "I'm tired of being homeless". That is EXACTLY how I have been feeling. I struggle to find the WILL just to get up, and face another day....I don't want to live like this anymore....no one cares....
I hope you are ok...heart wrenching video...i pray it has worked out for you
stay strong man
I know Perth so well, but didn’t know all that fascinating history about it. Been many times I have a cousin that lives in Scone & another who lives in Alyth, near Blairgowrie ( Blair) just love Scotland. Great video Kyle, thanks! Keep them coming!
a great video - we are coming for a week in may. just fun and yes we will visit everyone and hope that some fruits are already ripe. the video just warmed the heart. many greetings from bavaria
Fantastic! Have a lovely time with everyone. Happy Holidays when they come!
@@ThisIsKylesLife 😘
Great job Kyle!
6 years later and so many ppl are in this predicament hope your blessed & safe right now ♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
How are you doing Karl?
What football team do you support Kyle ?
Kyles, what’s your life update? I hope you are doing alright ❤️❤️
How old are you?
Try walking yo work, I walked five mikes every day to work. And five mikes home. For 5 months I did yhat but I saved my money and bought my first car. Cheer up think your way around this. You can do it.
imagine spending your life a lie
Same here we can't give up dreams are big
There is no god
Pain is temporary, keep your head up 🙏
I wish I could give this man a hug and tell it will be ok
i just saw your video 5 years ago about u going homeles without money i wanted to say u are amazing for going thru this journey, Im very happy that thinks ended good for u i hope u are happy now and in a good position in life ,u have a lot to live .STAY STRONG u are doing amazing ,have a nice day and thank u for sharing ur journey ,with love god first stay safe <3
Thank-you for this nice little tour of my home town, which is so often by-passed by the tourists, today. There is so much more history to discover - hopefully, you'll return some day and discover them for yourself.
Today same here,,fuuuck!!
I have nothing
I'm broke, no food, no money, bout to lose job, no gf, no kids, barely can hang on apartment, nat outbreak ran out of cleaner. God has given up on me and I want him to forgive me!
Thanks for taking the time to film, write, edit and upload this buddy - it's massively appreciated.
That’s really kind of you, thanks!
Dinna forget the Black Watch museum while in Perth!🏴🇨🇦
I swear I understand everything you were going through. I do && thanks for being vulnerable to show some of us that we are not alone. I hope your doing way better now 🙏🏽🩷❤️
Thank you so much!!
