    You've had a tough life, but you've made a success of yourself despite the hardships, as much as you don't see it sometimes, you have given hundreds of thousands/millions of people joy through your humour and honesty. Love you brother.

    I was homeless for a good 3 months with no job, no home and no money. I was living in my car that barely ran and would eat by digging burgers out of a McDonald's dumpster that was nearby. It was pretty terrible.

      @@king6238 gosh that's something I'll have to think about. I don't think I'm good at following my own advice at any age. I guess the most significant thing that helped lead up to what happened to me is to say "Don't leave your depression untreated". So many years I lived in what felt like constant torment at the time, but was in too much of denial that depression was real and under some weird belief that medicine would "Change my personality into something I'm not" but I was too dumb to realize it wouldn't change it, it would fix it.
      It probably started around when I was 14 or 15 and I got that impression that depression wasn't real from my dad. He meant well, but reiterating over and over again that it was all in my head and my own fault set me up for a lot of failures that could have otherwise been avoided with a few simple medications.
      I was in my early 20s when all the homeless stuff went on when I walked out of a job because I couldn't stand it another day, couldn't afford my rent and was about to have my shitty little car repossessed.
      Oddly enough, it was my dad who was able to help bail me out of my trouble. He didn't give me money beyond what it took for some food. He "bought" my car and then sold it and gave me an even shittier car and let me crash at one of his rental properties and told me I had "x days" to find a job, and I did.
      It didn't fix my life but it got me into some sort of stability and it was probably a good 5 years later that I ever got diagnosed and treated for depression (and diabetes, the fat person kind) but I still have things I struggle with every day.
      My life wasn't all bad, but that was a snapshot of some of the worst parts of it.,

    Boogie, I am 32, starting over again for my 3rd time, living back with my parents. I have been 'functionally homeless' a couple times in my life and it's a hard life to live. I've slept on floors a good chunk of my life, I am currently sleeping on air mattress. Going through all I have has giving me a lot experience though. Also kitties at 7:54 🥰

    Hey boogie, I've just finished watching a tonne of your videos from 7-8-10 years ago about loneliness, anxiety and isolation.
    I can't here to tell that you look worlds better, both in body and mind. I don't know what's currently going on in your life. But you look good brother, and you sound even better, more confident, more at peace.
    I hope that you're doing better than your past self, you're a living role model and I hope you're doing as good as you appear to come across.
    Much love.

But videos like this or yours in general sometimes, just lift my mood up and give me hope that i maybe have the chance to get anything around even if its shitty right now. even if i dont see a light at the end of the tunnel right now... but it lights a spark of hope, somehow
    thanks, great video! btw im not a native english speaker but i hope its understandable. have a GREAT day

    I was homeless for about six months once. Of all things I had just graduated from College which hurt the most. I worked a dead end job, slept in my truck at a Walmart parking lot, and hoped that I would find a career job. One night after work in frigid 26 degree weather I found out that antifreeze had gotten all over my sleeping bag and I almost froze to death. To this day I still feel like College wasn't worth it.

You got to where you are because you really wanted it, you have a creative mind and most of all, it's what you love to do. I've only been a follower for the last 3-4 years and have watched a good amount of your videos dating back to who knows when but to me, you have moved forward and bettered yourself in every possible way since day one and as long as you're happy, it's what matters most.

I’ve watched your content, regardless of platform it is on, for over 6 years, and I wanted to say that I love your content and like to hear you talk about your life. It really helps me deal with some issues I have. Just to be clear I don’t mean to say anything I’m going through is as bad or close to as bad, I just mean to say it provides a good model of how to respond to things. Thank you for all of your content and dedication and keep up the great work!
    One thing I want to add is how you’ve inspired me to work toward a career path. My dream and goal is to become a psychiatrist and specialize in helping children dealing with trauma from drugs, abuse, neglect or otherwise. Growing up watching your videos and seeing the severe issues in my community have made me who I am and inspired me to help others so that they know there is help.
