Jake, you’re missing your most obvious purpose, you are an inspiration to so many who are inspired by you’re sobriety, your loving friendships, your openness about your struggles with mental illness. Everyday that you’re sober is a day to celebrate. Statistically alcoholics and drug addict don’t get sober. You are enough. (If you don’t mind) I would suggest hitting some meeting regularly and staying connected with like minded fellow travelers. I started following you because knowing that you’re staying sober from a very intense drug makes me happy for you, your family, friends, followers and moms like me. My lovely son died 3 years ago at 27, I miss him dearly. He was so loving and an amazing musician and writer. His death has knocked me out, I feel as though I was hit by an asteroid.
Keep going, your a miracle.
Hey man, sobriety is tough! stay motivated and keep your head up. Even if you have no direction, living day by day is the best way too keep your head out of the gutter. AA and NA out in colorado is great! Don’t be afraid to reach out to groups out there for support either! I haven’t watched for very long but from what i’ve seen you’re a great guy. Keep your head up!
Same here bro! I’m living in my Prius, doing the Gig thing in FL and I feel that my life has lost its purpose also. I wish I could tell you what to do about it but I’d be spitting bullshit if I tried. However, I don’t think we are the only ones feeling this way. I believe there are many who are wondering this earth trying to find purpose in a world that is trying to make humanity obsolete. My only advice is to just be! God gave us this world to be our home and maybe our only real purpose is to simply appreciate what he has given us. Lastly, there are only two ways to “be” in this world. You can be of love or be of hate. It’s your choice but I personally choose to be of love. God bless you! I appreciate your work and your honesty. Stay strong my friend!
Beautiful statement.
How do you deal with the heat living in your car on Florida? Haha
@@qa9619 The Prius is a Hybrid that has climate control. I basically leave the car on always. The engine periodically comes on to charge the hybrid battery and then shuts off when charged. The a/c and all electrical components run off the hybrid battery. So, I always have electricity to power my devices and a/c to keep me and my dog from panting to death. Lol
It was great to meet you bro! Keep doing what your doing, it’s awesome to see how far you’ve come! You have come to far to give up now!
Also great job on 6 months completely sober from mind altering substances. Way to go on over 3 years clean from DOC. So proud of you bro.
So glad that you keep moving forward with your Vlogs!
You are light and I deeply appreciate your sharing it's so encouraging and healing. Thank you for your healing light🙏
You're doing ok man!! You inspire almost 50 thousand people! Well done, we done doing it!!
Going through the same thing Jake. Keep moving forward, you'll get there!!
Good to see you today, Jake, and so glad you have plenty of followers to vent with. We all need to vent now and again. Keep in mind that, since the start of this year, the sun has been very active with the numerous solar flares coming from it. The bigger ones that point to earth may cause mood swings, ringing in the ears, trouble with cell phones and even an EMP. I encourage you to also share your daily inspirational quotes with us, I always enjoy you reading them, they encourage me, too! Much love and thanks for sharing today! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Great video!
Good vid! Hang in there, Jake!
Hey Jake! I like your footage of the Avalanche celebration! I am a vlogger in Denver too but I just got started. Your vlogs r very inspiring, keep it up!
Jake, as a very uneducated Buddhist all of my adult life, I found that there is no purpose but maybe progress. You make progress IMO, when you are helping others, but not at the expense of yourself. You found something that makes you happy, most of the time, and pretty clearly benefits others (channel is on long-term uptrend), yes? When time comes to change what you are doing, the need to do so will manifest itself. Any over-arching goals on your life's screen will call you, and then you head in that direction. Keep networking, keep reading and learning about whatever interests you. ✌️
One day at a time, Jake.
Hey Jake. I felt the same as you being indecisive, like what to do and If I should leave a city and etc while I was traveling solo. Being by yourself is hard because you can’t bounce ideas with someone. People are social creatures and trying to do that through social media/UA-cam, isn’t what we humans were meant to do, at least in my opinion. I think valuing face to face interactions and connecting with others in person can help as it helped me during my trip and non traveling life. Stay strong!
Hang in there kid. It is OK to feel the way you have been feeling. Just have to work through it to sort it out. 😉
Your vlogs have been great lately, no need to feel down.
Thankyou for your honesty. I enjoy the little escape for me when I watch your videos, especially the humor and raw honesty. I understand what you were saying about structure, purpose and little goals, etc. I'm praying for you to be strong and stick to sobriety. 💪😊
good video. brutally honest. and anytime you feel like your struggling, pick up your camera and let your people know. your community will be a huge help in your recovery. but I would say try to find a sponsor or anyone who can listen when you need to vent. we're here, but I do know sometimes a person just needs 1 other person to HEAR what their saying. it makes a huge difference. keep going buddy. you can do this.
You're fulfilling your purpose with every video you post. Don't discount the impact you're having. You help many people more than you'll ever know. 🤩
Congratulations you are making phenomenal progress. Goals! Yes. Time to check in with your sponsor and engage the process. Can’t wait to hear how it goes. 🙏🏼
Go Stars!! ⭐
Stay Strong Bro!!! Your purpose is to prove to the world that you can stay sober even in the hard times. It will come, just keep pushing forward!!!
Thanks for the video…happy 4th of July…been really enjoying your videos…stay safe and take care !!
Wow talk about right time right place
I’m deff wanting you to go to New York or Chicago areas next, I’ve been to Florida LA and Denver too lol literally same places you have but always wanted to go up north and definitely hear what you think about it
I counted 7 or 8 times I heard “okay” LOL 😂
Hey man thanks for sharring
I like the edit day laid back vlogs just as much as the others. You also pump a lot of content out and need to give yourself a break sometimes. You are doing great bro! 💪✌️
Start a planner and start scheduling things and start transitioning from planning in the moment to planning ahead.. it takes time but it helped me.
I use notes on my iPhone to write everything down! It relaxes me not having to remember stuff and gives me tasks of things I want to get done.
Start dwelling on what you want to accomplish with your life and start making it happen! Even if you realize it’s not what you want to be doing you will have learned and be able to cross another thing off your list and will help you focus with more clarity 👍
I know it seems like you get burnt out sometime I live in my car too but keep doing what you doing don't ever go backwards in life go forward there's a bigger a brighter door for you or head.
Jake my Homeboy! You've reached this far in your life, don't even think about (Y'know what). So far you've been an example for us who are subscribed to your channel and we have been following what you've put out there for us. If ever, some of us could be an example for you as well. We can help each other. Remember that!!
Just watching you talk is entertaining enough, your editing skill is over the roof I love it.
im 39, married 15yrs, Own my home, have failed multiple business, failed multiple careers, lived in multiple states, and i still dont know what the F*ck to do with my life! Also feel more alone married than i did single. We are in the same boat and got there coming from completely different places! Only thing i have learned in life is you should have as much fun as possible and laugh as your life burns to the ground!
Stumbled onto your channel a few days ago. Let me commend you for the journey you’re on and for your honesty. Never give up!
Sometimes it’s hard to get motivated to do some unscheduled exercise, but it can really help blow off some steam from the stress of the day
hang in there bud.. Denver is a beautiful place, more so if youre sober
thanks for making your channel its really entertaining! I'm working on overcoming an addiction myself. Seems like for me its one day at a time. You're doing great! and so is your channel! I hope you get the rest you need. Trust Jesus✝
Hey, Jake. I used to live in the Boulder area and it's all pretty neat and very expensive. Personally, it ended up not being for me but Denver did intrigue me; I liked it better. If you ever get a chance, I would recommend visiting Missoula, Montana. There are lots of people up there with plenty of heart, very good people. I don't know what the gig economy is like there, but Bozeman may be better in that regard, as I've seen some vids from a guy who has worked the gig economy there. Seattle may be the nearest place (or Spokane) with a thriving gig economy in the region but, at any rate, I feel that Missoula is at least worth visiting for maybe a weekend. Maybe you'd find something you're looking for, or to help lead you in the right direction. It's truly a lovely place.
Hey man, don't stress too much. 🥓🍳 Eggs n bacy
Jake, you should be proud! Your purpose could be to help others overcome their addiction! Do loose sight of what you accomplish, alot don't make it as far as you have, some have died! Be a voice for others. Blessings and prayers 🙏
You're young 🌱 want to conquer the world. Then you realize one day it's what you make of it. What a ride.
Thinking and struggling is part of the process! Keep on and also know that your change in altitude is no joke on your body and mind. Sending love and positive vibes.
Jake, you got this. Just keep going! And let’s catch up. I’m in Denver!
Everyone needs a porpoise! (sorry 'bout that) OK, future city to check out... Halifax, Nova Scotia. See VanCity VanLife's recent visit there. Happy trails!
If you’re going to be there for the 4th i’d recommend going to colorado springs ! it’s great down there and Memorial Park had an amazing show they put on every year
Hang in there man!! Great to 🏃♀️ . Please be kind to u and life gets depressing sometimes. Thanks for your content and staying clean!!!!
You better keep an eye on SpongeBob I think he's still wet the bed that's why Patrick doesn't fool with him anymore 🤣 lol
You're an inspriation to people in recovery, and it's your recovery so you decide what is best for you and what works for you.
❤️
Jake you can buy stuff on amazon and have it dropped off for pickup in certain businesses that contract with them instead of a residential address. So you don't have to drive far to buy stuff.
Hey man. Fellow car dweller in Denver. If you’re ever wanting to try out rock climbing, hit me up and me and a buddy could bring you out to golden or something. Might make a cool video, and getting out in the mountains while you’re in CO is always a good pick me up.
I'm 47....still trying to figure it all out. My advice...be patient. Calm your inner thoughts. Know that you have a long time to figure out what you really really want to do. Time is on your side.
I've watched you for ages and totally forgot I used to be an addict of things myself.
When you are free, you do forget.
Jake you have a major talent for film. I can see you having your own show going all over doing what you’re doing now and getting paid big bucks for it. Submit some of your videos. People would definitely watch you sharing your journeys! Reach out to travel channels, documentary channels. This is just the beginning!!
Have you ever thought about going to a free or low cost rehab/ sober living? You Turn For Christ is a low cost one, there are free ones also.
Don't use bro my bad didt know you had a addiction problem I got one my self 💯 battling it every day is a struggle but don't use bro especially out in denver those denver street's can pull u under quick in that scene much love and respect keep your head up
You might like Timothy Ward's UA-cam channel, he's been where you are only with alcohol and he's a nomad. He talks about finding joy just living life instead of pursuing goals that we are taught are "worthy." He has also done seasonal work that allows him to travel while having a free place to live in order to save money. He has a lot of great advice. Best of luck.
Just keep bouncing the 🏀
I couldn't live everyday by myself. I would literally start talking to myself if I didn't have human interaction. Good luck to u on your journey. Get out of Denver its hot, expensive, and filled with drug addicts.
Maybe try out volunteering every now and then? It might help fulfill some of that lost sense of purpose? I might try it too lol. I can only imagine that it’ll help though. It’ll probably give you a sense of community too which is always a plus.
Bro you know what's near Fort Collins?
.....
HORSETOOTH RESEVOIR!!!! Prettiest place you'll film
If your making your best opportunities in Denver then that’s a home. --VTown Paddy Patrick
the 10-18 is what i use, we used that one at the skatepark. i wish it wasn't so damn expensive though :(
Denver is good but you need your family so go back to Texas so you can have a break from nomadic life for a few months and then go back later Jake keep up the good work.
Yeah, I was thinking maybe the recent feelings were sparked by loneliness.
Not sure that Denver is right for the nomadic lifestyle. Seems more like a full-time settling lifestyle kind of place? Jake, it might be the locale? Is California calling again?
🙏🙏👍💜
They had to kick out all the dope dealers out of Civic Center park before the event. They have permanent residency there.
Welcome to "life" in a city. Where you likely have no "soul" friends. This happens to most everyone.
You may have developed a case of NDD (Nature Deficit Disorder).
Get out into the parks to jog hike explore.
Grab your board and grind in a new place.
Investigate surrounding communities/towns for their unique places museums parks.
Or head into the mountains little towns for epic landscapes and exploring.
Purpose and goals often can change throughout our lives. Welcome the change, allow things to expand.
Sometimes the change is short weeks months, maybe a few years.
Then the next long opportunity for growth arrives.
PROVIDENCE will arrive when all of the people needed are in place, and your preparation is aligned.
Delay is not denying. Sometimes we just gotta "tread water" for a while.
Jake, hey bro, 1) keep the faith, 2) connect with a local support group, 3) As others have said, taking some media classes -(something you’re good at and obviously love)- might help you feel “grounded”. Lastly, breathe, enjoy each day in beautiful Co.! Cheers bro!
Purpose; become a concellor. They make the best because they have been through it.Everyone struggles w/ purpose.
Jake I'm going to be real with you man. Congrats on being sober first. But man you can't expect to keep living out of your car like it's normal man, it's too fast paced. You need a home to relax, unwide, and just chill. But I think you may be living in your car bc you don't know what you want to do. The first step, would be figuring out where you want live. just choose a place man, if you don't know where you want to go, you don't have to have a fairy tale dream of living in a particular city. Just pick a place. Then you'll realize okay I need to make rent, I need to get a good paying job, etc. Then you''ll look into jobs that fit your interests, then things fall into place from there. The first step is settling down somewhere. Dude idk how much longer you expect to live out of your car, I'd relapse in a second.
And you could still make weekend day trip videos. Dude we watch you're journey, we don't care if you travel or not. Make update vlogs.Trust me, settle down somewhere. Get roomates, find a cheap spot. Boom in 6 months your credit will be great, if you just even tackle half your credit you'll probably be in the 700's. Credit is incredibly stressful, take care of it and you'll be a new man. The faact that you're living like this and being clean still, there's no way you'd relapse whle settling down.
Pray. Ask God what His plan is for your life. He will guide you into your purpose.
you want goals? here's one, dude. get a real job and stop living in your car.
And stop deleting footage, you think too much, F it you're doing good. Just keep doing you man. Keep moving forward, it'll all work out 👍 You won't see the big plan so stop trying. Your life could change *snap* literally now... Enjoy the journey, that's it
Hola Jake! I wanted to let you know that if you ever feel like you just need to talk or vent to someone in real time. Or just talk about life, give me a call dude. FaceTime, snap, or a simple phone call/text. I’m here for you. I enjoy our talks and I believe it really adds value to both of our lives. I’m always free to talk about life.
I guess everyone forgot about covid hahaha! smdh...i bet there are many in there that wanted everyone to 'wear that damn mask!" lol it's just funny because I was never afraid.
Min 3:47 ... Best thing you can do to build credit is to get a Secure credit card. You should look into it...
Already have one! And also Self.inc Savings
I use shrooms once a week for depression. I’m in Colorado Springs, hmu
Denver has a huge homeless population and with that comes a huge drug problem. Change your scenario up a bit, seeing all the "meth heads" and how readily available drugs are downtown can be a problem. I was once approached in the parking lot of Home Depot by someone looking to sell. Yeah, a high sounds good here and there, but look how far you have come and think positively. Keep your head up and this to shall pass, good luck.
It sounds to me like you already have a goal. Improving your credit score and getting your dad off the loan.
Have you considered using credit carma to track your status? Maybe get a small student loan from colorodo media school. You don't HAVE to take the classes, but you'll learn a lot about filming, and the sgudent loan attached to it will help Kickstart your credit score.
Be prepared to walk in and apply with $800 in cash. I wish I had started with that.
Maybe you need a relationship with someone else other than SpongeBob. Maybe spongegirl?
They done you a favor not giving you credit. Stay debt free for financial independence. You probably need to meet up with like minded people. Good luck
Ever throught of becoming a substance abuse counselor? Mental health RN? Or something else to do with helping others?
Don't Look Back. Have Faith In GOD. And Ask GOD, For Help. I Did.
Jake have you ever sold anything? If you’re looking to make money fast I bet you could sell something and make large commissions with your personality. There is always a price but it may be worth it for you.
Honestly, Jake...sometimes when life just becomes what it becomes and those 12 steps aren't even necessary anymore. If I were you, I would just try and enjoy life right now because well, there's a lot going on in the world that might be affecting our country badly soon but don't fret and just keep doing what your doing. I say travel, enjoy and that purpose thing? THIS IS YOUR PURPOSE
Laura what will be affecting our country badley soon. Details Laura please.
Don’t use !! It’s dirty and fake now !!! One day at a time brother , the substances are not the answer , keep making content !
