      Filming with the light behind you made it visually awfully distracting to watch.
      I'm only mentioning it as you usually do so well. Hopefully back to your usual good quality next video. Take care.

    He is such a nice guy. And how awful people still can be today and age. 😔 As a depression sufferer for decades, it is such a difficult sickness and unfortunately many times lethal. I have tried all meds and tried electric shocks to brains 12 times etc. I wish him all the best. ❤from Finland

      Suosittelen kokeilemaan hypnoosia, siitä on ollut itselle apua. Alitajunnasta tulevat ratkaisut tuntuvat tehoavan syvällisemmin kuin kehon manipulointi tai lääkkeet jotka eivät ulotu syyn juureen.
      Hypnoosi toimii yleensä jo ensimmäisestä käynti kerrasta , ja on ”guided meditation” tyyppinen parin tunnin kokemus johon mennään omien kysymyksien kanssa - ”kuten mitä minun tulee tehdä, jotta masennus paranee? ” mitä voin kokemastani oppia/ymmärtää/ parantaa.
      Kaikea hyvää , terveisiä Berliinistä.

    There is more to him & his beautiful story. I think he should write a book. He’s touching on so many points many gay men feel / experience. “The fear of homelessness is real” hits so, so hard. The work ethic + dedication to one’s career yet not feeling rewarded (news). Loosing a partner, ppl deny the value of that relationship…

    It will help keep the focus on both of you instead of the back and forth.

    • @pobstrel
      @pobstrel 2 місяці тому

      Matt would have edited out the words as it would stop the video getting monetised. The UA-cam bot picks up on certain keywords and will bury the video so it gets hardly any views. And demonetises it. For example, you can't use suicide but instead say unlife. It's ridiculous!
