Food for thought. I fostered two boys at two different times.. I waited to my mid 40's to start. I got myself settled and went thru the process. It takes 8 to 12 months to be approved. They were true gifts in my life, and i know i helped. Both were totally unique and challenging to start and evened out as we got used to the ground rules and structure of living in a stable how. The mutual love and respect was amazing. I hope that helps.
this was SO cozy like a friend pulling you in to just sit and distract you from how tired you feel... BUT ALSO I MISS THE "what is up my chickpeas" opening 😭
Connor you’re literally the only one I still watch from the UA-cam heyday. I feel like you’re growing with me, from the style to your videos now. And also the way we have similar thoughts and opinion about life as we go into our 30’s. Keep it up! ❤
My boyfriend just dumped me and watching you just clariifes that bigger and better things are out there. I can happily move on to grander adventures not mulling over a waste of space, user and taker like you said.
When you're ready I think you would make a great dad. Lots of great kids in foster care looking to just be loved and cared for. Think about becoming a big brother, it's how I started down the road to becoming a parent. Trust was earned not given and the path from big brother to parent was full of lots of growth and understanding. But it's the most rewarding thing I could have ever done. My son and I have a standing joke about who saved who. We saved each other.
Some other advice for your 20's that I got from my therapist: your fears are often poorly thought out. Say for example your afraid of someone disliking you. Well if you're afraid of that happening over you not being able to make it that day: you move the date around and move on. Most people will literally not think about it after or maybe they're a little bummed out - they don't hate you!
This comforting, warm, pensive-and to a degree, intimate- style of video is exactly the feel I want to cultivate with my podcast and videos in general. Thank you for being a grounding presence in this chaotic space xx
@@ConnorFranta what do you MEAN really? Yes obviously really ;-; I've been watching your videos for the past like nine(?? wtf) years and they are such a source of comfort and coziness and just-not nostalgia but that same feeling of being at home that nostalgia can bring with it? Every time I see a notification for your videos I just have a little "yay!" moment
Yes! Sabrina Carpenter! I'm 40, I didn't think I could get into her music but then I was like, "age is just a number, especially when someone is that fucking talented".
Romneya (Matilija Poppy) and Dahlia are two of my fav flowers, too! Both of these plants grow prolifically in Mendocino CA. For a real floral and downhome good time, you should consider attending the 32nd annual Art in the Garden event at the Mendocino Botanical Garden (in Fort Bragg), next year on August 2 and 3, 2025. Their Dahlia garden will blow your mind. My husband and I have been going for years. We stay at a gay-owned B&B in Mendocino Village, walk everywhere, and savory the beauty, art, and acoustic music at the Mendo Botanical Garden. You won't regret it!
I’ve followes you throught UA-cam, Tumblr, Twitter and Tiktok. It’s been nearly 10 years since the first time I saw your videos. You have grown up so good and remarkably amazing. I, too, survived my 20s and now in my 30s with a family. I hope you’ll one day have a happy family (or happy ending) with someone you love ♥️
It's a bit crazy to think I've been following your jounrey for 9 years, haha. Right before you moved to California! Your videos have always brought a smile to my face. Thank you for that! 😊❤
i love the way you approach things and try to find different angles - i read note to self when it released and it effected me deeply, especially the part about not worrying if you can't change the situation, your way of thinking is so? easy? and it's a joy to watch you share it with us
it hurts my soullll, connor seems like such a great content creator but we need to do better when it comes to platforming harmful and unethical brands and people
I know it's been six years, but man, I miss those two chilling together and stuff. What I would do to see a new video or at least an interaction from t and connor
Okay. guys, C. U. La. Ter Cowboy tattoo - you either want to be seen as wild, free, and tough or you want a hot cowboy/ranch hand boyfriend. Go to a TX2 or Harry Styles or Tyler Posey concert. Connor is still relatively young. give him 5 to 20 years and he can adopt or do IVF surrogacy and have zesty little frantalings running around. Also, did you meet or babysit Kian's kid? Any collabs in the works? Like with Smosh, Jacks gap, Bryan Terada, Sam & Colby, Larray, Tom Daley, Sturniolo Triplets, 99goonsquad, Davey Wavey, Ricky Dillon, Eric Smith, Johnnie Guilbert, Jake Webber, Dan & Phil, Janoskians, Sawyer Hartman, Nickocado Avocado, Luke Korns, Outdoor Ginger... Would you act in a tv show/movie? If yes, what genre; and on a scale of 1 - 🔥giga spicy🔥, how zesty would the show preferably be?
On the topic of working anywhere - what are you doing for work these days? Are you writing another book? or shorter essays? Or is UA-cam your primary gig these days?
Hey, i have a question for you Connor, what school of therapy do you get? i don't know if I framed it well, what I mean is are you getting cbt or dbt or psychodynamic ..... if you're interested in answering this pls let me know! Sending you lots of love.
Hello, Connor )I would like to recommend reading the book Patriot by Navalny, I’m sure our Alexey will conquer you. Humanity has not known anyone like him since the time of Copernicus
♥tattoos, boyfriends, money, travel, philosophy... he's back with the big chats about your big questions! enjoy ♥
Sexy legs. Hello nurse!
Everything about you is boring now, that's why he's gone 😂😂😂😂

"the stakes aren't as high as you think"
damn bro, u right
they just aren't. no matter what anyone says. and, that's a scary truth tbh!
argentina mention 🥺🥺🥺 i am from patagonia (neuquén) !! and i have loved you for ten years so it feels so surreal to hear YOU talking about it
it's such a magical place! i can't wait to return :)
still to this day i love these videos, so chilled out and a subtle nod to the old days 💛
"no one should ever be forced into a closet, to ever have a need to come out of one..."
This felt like catching up with an old friend. Thanks for that, Con. 💜🧚🏽♂️✨
Have a peaceful weekend Connor 🤍
you too :)
Upstream was lovely, also read in the autumn, great time of year for the natural immersion
it evokes such strong emotions! i really adore her immersive writing :)
Begging for more Argentina footage.
I’m a struggling 20s human and I appreciated the advice! Being brave seems so simple but it’s actually pretty hard.

Why do you not have a podcast? You have the best voice and I would listen to you talk about literally anything.
THIS IS WHAT THE GIRLS NEEDED!!!
I'm sorry... doing that hike in 4 hours dropped my jaw... that's so fast wtf
Well, he is a serious long-distance runner.
Where is your hoodie from? Obsessed
This video popped up on my feed! Used to watch like 10 years ago, so crazy. The OG UA-camrs!
Another question: if you had never started UA-cam, where would your life have taken you e.g. career, location, coming out etc?
Love your quote of Socrates!! ❤❤❤
love this connor! yes i did have an enjoyable time :') brings me back to 2014 for sure especially with the jump cuts haha
I swear I needed a Connor video it been rough lately for me
That sweatshirt looks so comfy!
very cozy indeed
On the topic of working anywhere - what are you doing for work these days? Are you writing another book? or shorter essays? Or is UA-cam your primary gig these days?
ahh it makes me so so happy to know you enjoyed your stay in argentina !!
Good luck with the New York marathon, Connor! I have one quick question: Do you run all 26 miles in one go, or are there breaks throughout the race?
I love that hoodie!
i must know where this hoodie is from 😮
proud of the people we becoming
Love the video and love the hoodie btw - where is it from?🩵
I know you’ve made poetic diary like videos of traveling, I’d love to see more vlogs of those 😭🙂↕️
Connor no, not betterhelp
Connor why😭
it is so hard to keep supporting people who keep taking sponsorships from them :(
Oh you actually put in my question (the very first one)... haha
I was suffering from whooping cough and didn't actually mean to send it...
connor and sabrina my two worlds colliding
Sir why do you look good in every damn thing you wear? It's so unfair for the rest of us 😭
Hey, i have a question for you Connor, what school of therapy do you get? i don't know if I framed it well, what I mean is are you getting cbt or dbt or psychodynamic ..... if you're interested in answering this pls let me know! Sending you lots of love.
Where is your hoodie from? I'm obsessed

I'm just watching this thinking about how quickly all those beautiful plants would meet their demise under my care.
lmao
i really need to know where you got your hoodie
are you working on a book again?
Hello, Connor )I would like to recommend reading the book Patriot by Navalny, I’m sure our Alexey will conquer you. Humanity has not known anyone like him since the time of Copernicus
do you have any plans for more tattoos? if so, what would you get? I feel like it's an addiction lol

His home is slowly turning into a jungle.
