      She doesn't stay in one place so obviously you can't get housing when you keep changing locations, I've seen her in Asheville, she usually doesn't speak to too many people so I don't know how he coerced this interview out of her

    I remember Laura from the first video. I was wondering what happened to her. I'm glad to see that she's OK. I'm in the same boat but now someone has given me the chance to make a school Bus into a home. Being down here in Florida homeless is not fun. I hope everything works out for her. 🙏 ❤

    She is like sunshine. I hope she has a lot of good fortune in the future. It is strange she mentions lack of motivation and fear of failure and the childhood psychology of their roots. It points out the levels of these things and how our early experiences and our psychology is so universally critical and applicable, whatever station in life we find ourselves in.

    That hit home hard when you said your dad told you you're no good or nothing good will ever become of you... I grew up with a dad like that too and I might be a bit messed up even till today and not thriving fully but how grateful I am for my meals and a roof over my head. I truly wish that for her too, and safety and stability and love and healing, so her smile can be even more bright and her eyes (soul) more happy. If she reads this, I'm sending you a warm hug from cold Netherlands ❣
    One day you'll be ready and it will come as a surprise, you'll find a switch in your mind that will be your first solid step into a new direction and you'll find the strength and the faith in yourself to continue. Even shortly after that you'll look back and wonder how you've never taken a step this way so firmly before and not backing down this time, and you'll feel so proud and relieved that you are capable of that change, and any step after that will only become lighter and lighter. Sometimes warriors have invisible battles, but I know that you, if not today then someday, when you're ready, can do it 💪👑

    She seems a real sweetheart. I like her. I totally understand why she doubts herself. My biological father was a worthless drunk so much so that my grandparents raised me and to them I owe everything. The only thing I remember about my alcoholic biological father is that I never once saw him sober and that he said my grandparents didn't want me. He said my grandparents only took care of me for state assistance money they never filed for. Finally he told me I was autistic, disabled and I'd never amount to anything. I proved my drunk father wrong on every count. But both Mark and she are right that internalized self doubt never leaves you. Love you Mark!
