  • 00:00:01
    hey guys it's me and today I want to
  • 00:00:04
    answer a question that a lot of people
  • 00:00:06
    have been asking me my whole life and
  • 00:00:09
    more importantly they've been asking me
  • 00:00:11
    a lot recently especially online and
  • 00:00:14
    that question comes in many forms but it
  • 00:00:16
    all is distilled down to the same thing
  • 00:00:18
    which is in one form or another why are
  • 00:00:21
    you like this whether it's the dead rat
  • 00:00:24
    alarm clock the uh barbecue uh puke
  • 00:00:27
    shower curtain uh dead an animal in the
  • 00:00:30
    house or any other one of the stories
  • 00:00:33
    that are just an indicator of me living
  • 00:00:36
    like a complete [ __ ] animal um people
  • 00:00:38
    always wonder why would a person live
  • 00:00:41
    like this why would a person be like
  • 00:00:42
    this why am I why am I like this and I
  • 00:00:45
    think that honestly uh you know there's
  • 00:00:47
    a lot of answers for this I I really
  • 00:00:49
    really really don't want to make this
  • 00:00:51
    like a super long video so hopefully I
  • 00:00:53
    can distill it down to some main points
  • 00:00:55
    and not really go off on too many
  • 00:00:57
    tangents although I think that I
  • 00:00:58
    probably will because there's a lot of
  • 00:01:00
    like history with it and everything like
  • 00:01:01
    that and so basically the first thing
  • 00:01:03
    you need to know about me is that uh I
  • 00:01:05
    actually if you can believe this I know
  • 00:01:07
    this might sound shocking is that I
  • 00:01:09
    actually have not always been like this
  • 00:01:12
    uh this is a relatively new thing for me
  • 00:01:15
    and uh I think that it really kind of
  • 00:01:16
    started a lot when uh I would say in
  • 00:01:19
    high school and then uh later on it kind
  • 00:01:23
    of entered Phase 2 and that was probably
  • 00:01:26
    somewhere around 21 or 23 somewhere
  • 00:01:30
    around there in those age groups and
  • 00:01:32
    that's whenever you know the degeneracy
  • 00:01:34
    really kind of went uh you know it
  • 00:01:36
    ratcheted up to the next level I leveled
  • 00:01:38
    up new expansion release DLC Etc right
  • 00:01:41
    and so this happened then because as a
  • 00:01:43
    kid um I was actually very much like a
  • 00:01:46
    very conscientious a very conscientious
  • 00:01:49
    kid in the way that I uh basically
  • 00:01:51
    didn't really want to be uh perceived in
  • 00:01:53
    a negative way I wanted to be seen as a
  • 00:01:56
    good person Etc and uh I've always had a
  • 00:02:00
    big problem with uh being able to like
  • 00:02:02
    relate to other people uh because I
  • 00:02:04
    think that I'm just a little bit off
  • 00:02:06
    right I I wouldn't say that I don't have
  • 00:02:08
    a moral compass but I would say that my
  • 00:02:10
    moral compass doesn't Point North and
  • 00:02:12
    this has been a problem in a lot of
  • 00:02:15
    cases in my life whether it's with
  • 00:02:17
    relationships or friendships or anything
  • 00:02:20
    in between I've had a lot of problems
  • 00:02:23
    because of that and in the process of
  • 00:02:25
    this I've learned a lot of things about
  • 00:02:27
    myself and the main thing is that uh my
  • 00:02:30
    take and my view on moral issues is not
  • 00:02:33
    really what I would say a normal person
  • 00:02:35
    thinks and this has caused me a lot of
  • 00:02:37
    problems and especially like as a young
  • 00:02:39
    kid uh you know being able to like
  • 00:02:41
    interact and fit in with people it's a
  • 00:02:43
    weird dichotomy because the truth is I
  • 00:02:46
    actually always did have a lot of
  • 00:02:47
    friends and uh I never had problems
  • 00:02:50
    making friends but at the same time I
  • 00:02:52
    always felt like I was very different
  • 00:02:53
    from a lot of other people because of
  • 00:02:55
    the way that I felt uh I used to have uh
  • 00:02:57
    for a comparison uh just a point of
  • 00:02:59
    reference I guess guess you could say um
  • 00:03:01
    I used to have my mom read me uh all of
  • 00:03:03
    the different like sins in the Bible and
  • 00:03:06
    everything because I I understood even
  • 00:03:09
    as a little kid I'm like there's
  • 00:03:11
    something wrong with you uh you know
  • 00:03:12
    like you you better learn this so that
  • 00:03:14
    way there aren't any problems in the
  • 00:03:16
    future and so I would have her read all
  • 00:03:18
    these to me that way I would understand
  • 00:03:21
    how to behave right because it just
  • 00:03:23
    never came naturally to me things that
  • 00:03:25
    come naturally to other people uh were
  • 00:03:28
    not natural and are not natural it's not
  • 00:03:30
    like things have changed if anything
  • 00:03:31
    they've probably gotten worse uh as as
  • 00:03:34
    I've gotten older and so uh I've always
  • 00:03:36
    had a big problem uh being able to like
  • 00:03:39
    uh you know understand like where you
  • 00:03:41
    know how you should act how you should
  • 00:03:43
    treat people what you should do how you
  • 00:03:45
    should say things Etc so almost
  • 00:03:47
    everything that I do is a learned
  • 00:03:49
    performance rather than an innate social
  • 00:03:53
    uh I don't know like instinct if that
  • 00:03:55
    makes sense and uh hopefully the
  • 00:03:57
    performance is good I consider myself
  • 00:03:59
    kind of a good actor at least right but
  • 00:04:01
    of course there are going to be cracks
  • 00:04:03
    and outtakes as well and so those are
  • 00:04:06
    usually the for in the form of the
  • 00:04:07
    Twitter Clips with 100,000 likes and so
  • 00:04:11
    anyway uh as a kid I was always treated
  • 00:04:13
    this way and uh you know people people
  • 00:04:15
    thought that I was a little bit off a
  • 00:04:16
    little bit weird uh like one time like
  • 00:04:18
    for example uh there was a a kid that I
  • 00:04:21
    was like playing with baseball with him
  • 00:04:22
    and uh he was annoying me making me mad
  • 00:04:25
    and so uh I hit the ball and I hit it
  • 00:04:28
    with the explicit intention of hitting
  • 00:04:30
    him in the face with the ball and I did
  • 00:04:32
    and so I remember there's blood all over
  • 00:04:35
    the kid's face he like broke his tooth
  • 00:04:36
    and everything and everybody was
  • 00:04:38
    standing around like like what the [ __ ]
  • 00:04:40
    like what I this is like terrible and I
  • 00:04:42
    remember walking up I was this was like
  • 00:04:43
    the best day of my [ __ ] life this
  • 00:04:45
    happened and I was so happy and I could
  • 00:04:47
    see that other people were made very
  • 00:04:49
    uncomfortable around this and that's
  • 00:04:51
    whenever I started trying to like really
  • 00:04:52
    kind of mask my emotions and how I felt
  • 00:04:55
    about things because it was very evident
  • 00:04:57
    to me that I was not really normal and
  • 00:05:00
    uh this has been a again a huge problem
  • 00:05:02
    my whole life but that was pretty much
  • 00:05:04
    the first at least the time that I can
  • 00:05:06
    remember in my mind uh the first time
  • 00:05:08
    that I can remember that and see that
  • 00:05:10
    wow this is this didn't go over the way
  • 00:05:13
    that I thought it would go over because
  • 00:05:15
    I was so happy and nobody else is happy
  • 00:05:17
    and they think I'm like a bad person but
  • 00:05:19
    it's like you know from my perspective
  • 00:05:21
    that's not how I saw it and uh you know
  • 00:05:23
    from my perspective rip boo so um this
  • 00:05:26
    is a big problem and uh this happens in
  • 00:05:29
    Middle school as well I cared a lot
  • 00:05:31
    about like how I looked how I dressed
  • 00:05:32
    Etc in Middle School uh I mean really
  • 00:05:35
    who doesn't and uh you know I really
  • 00:05:37
    Tred to to you know like take myself
  • 00:05:39
    seriously and you know I tried to have a
  • 00:05:41
    good impression Etc do the right things
  • 00:05:43
    say the right things wear the right
  • 00:05:45
    things uh be the right kind of person
  • 00:05:47
    and uh going into high school I kind of
  • 00:05:49
    got uh there's a weird thing where like
  • 00:05:51
    I I ended up going to like one High
  • 00:05:53
    School uh that I didn't want to go to
  • 00:05:55
    and then I ended up going to another
  • 00:05:56
    high school after that after I told my
  • 00:05:58
    parents that if they didn't change me
  • 00:06:00
    over I would kill myself and fail every
  • 00:06:02
    single class which to be halfway I was
  • 00:06:04
    halfway uh halfway followed through with
  • 00:06:07
    that because my first semester in that
  • 00:06:09
    high school I had a GPA of a 08 it was
  • 00:06:13
    actually impressive it was hard to do I
  • 00:06:14
    had to I had to go out of my way for
  • 00:06:16
    this and so uh then I ended up getting
  • 00:06:18
    transferred over and I went to the the
  • 00:06:20
    school where my friends were and I think
  • 00:06:22
    that like the high school that I had
  • 00:06:24
    originally gone to was a much more
  • 00:06:26
    superficial much more like you know like
  • 00:06:28
    a higher class high school cuz my dad
  • 00:06:30
    wanted me to go there because you know
  • 00:06:32
    like he wanted me to go to school to get
  • 00:06:33
    an education imagine that I wanted to go
  • 00:06:35
    to school to hang out with my friends so
  • 00:06:36
    there was a bit of a disconnect there
  • 00:06:39
    and so um I go over to the other school
  • 00:06:41
    and I realize that uh I need to stop
  • 00:06:43
    caring about what people think about me
  • 00:06:45
    because I saw the people that were in
  • 00:06:46
    that other school and I realized that's
  • 00:06:48
    not the kind of person that I wanted to
  • 00:06:49
    be because they were the more extreme
  • 00:06:51
    version of the person that I was trying
  • 00:06:52
    to be and at that point I realized that
  • 00:06:55
    I didn't really want to be like other
  • 00:06:57
    people and I had to develop I guess my
  • 00:06:59
    own identity and this was at like I
  • 00:07:01
    would say 14 or 15 and that happened and
  • 00:07:04
    that continued all the way through high
  • 00:07:06
    school and you know I I was always like
  • 00:07:09
    uh you know I never really had a
  • 00:07:11
    girlfriend right in high school or
  • 00:07:13
    anything like that maybe you know I
  • 00:07:15
    talked to a girl but not not really okay
  • 00:07:17
    and so I was never really treated very
  • 00:07:19
    well by uh you know a lot of girls or
  • 00:07:21
    anything like that and uh big surprise
  • 00:07:23
    imagine that and so uh anyway uh this
  • 00:07:26
    happened and you know I I kind of got
  • 00:07:28
    used to this and it was normal so I
  • 00:07:30
    would try to improve myself and you know
  • 00:07:32
    like make myself look better and try to
  • 00:07:34
    do this and it would just be met with
  • 00:07:35
    the same outcome which was a a massive
  • 00:07:37
    failure big surprise um you know uh
  • 00:07:40
    being a level 60 Warrior isn't as
  • 00:07:43
    attractive to women as it is to other
  • 00:07:45
    16-year-old guys and so anyway uh I I
  • 00:07:48
    had this happen and uh you know I
  • 00:07:50
    eventually kind of got to the point
  • 00:07:52
    where I was more comfortable with that
  • 00:07:53
    and I stopped really caring as much
  • 00:07:55
    about what you know like people would
  • 00:07:57
    think about me and you know in general
  • 00:07:59
    just people's perception of me and uh
  • 00:08:01
    this kind of got worse as time goes on
  • 00:08:05
    and uh I think that I spent like my
  • 00:08:07
    teenage years primarily trying to
  • 00:08:09
    disconnect myself and trying to remove
  • 00:08:12
    myself from the obligation to be a
  • 00:08:14
    certain kind of person to the public and
  • 00:08:17
    uh just to society in general uh I I
  • 00:08:19
    viewed society as uh you know I I I
  • 00:08:22
    never I never chose to be here this was
  • 00:08:24
    not up for discussion I just spawned in
  • 00:08:27
    here and so it's like I have to follow
  • 00:08:28
    these rules I have to do all these
  • 00:08:30
    things I have to be this kind of a
  • 00:08:31
    person and then you know I was like 8 17
  • 00:08:34
    18 19 I asked myself well why am I doing
  • 00:08:37
    this and so I I stopped doing all that
  • 00:08:40
    stuff and uh I've done many degenerate
  • 00:08:42
    things none of which I regret none not
  • 00:08:44
    nothing at all in my life that I've ever
  • 00:08:46
    regretted at all uh but um you know I I
  • 00:08:49
    would do things that a lot of people
  • 00:08:50
    would consider to be very uh unproper uh
  • 00:08:53
    let's just say that and so um I never
  • 00:08:57
    really viewed myself I I never really
  • 00:08:58
    viewed it as like a good or a bad thing
  • 00:09:00
    I just you know simply existed and I did
  • 00:09:02
    what I would do and that was it and at
  • 00:09:05
    that point I pretty much had completely
  • 00:09:07
    disconnected myself from the perception
  • 00:09:10
    of other people and this was at the same
  • 00:09:12
    time like growing up uh my mom was I I
  • 00:09:16
    think there was maybe two years or so
  • 00:09:18
    where she made above the poverty level
  • 00:09:20
    in terms of income and so we basically
  • 00:09:22
    barely skated by most of the time and
  • 00:09:25
    primarily the reason for that honestly
  • 00:09:26
    is cu my dad uh my dad always paid child
  • 00:09:29
    support Etc at least until I was 18 and
  • 00:09:32
    um you know all that time you know she
  • 00:09:34
    was able to skate by with that and
  • 00:09:35
    pretty much survive uh after uh high
  • 00:09:39
    school was over uh then obviously like
  • 00:09:41
    that stopped and then she wasn't able to
  • 00:09:43
    support herself so I was having to
  • 00:09:45
    figure out ways to make money and try to
  • 00:09:48
    like piece together money she would
  • 00:09:49
    borrow money sometimes from my dad and
  • 00:09:51
    it was in general like a very very
  • 00:09:53
    negative situation and so we never
  • 00:09:54
    really had any money uh this was the
  • 00:09:56
    time where uh you know I was pretty much
  • 00:09:59
    uh ironically at the peak of my Degen
  • 00:10:01
    degeneracy I was probably one of the
  • 00:10:03
    highest rated uh Warriors and wow uh at
  • 00:10:06
    the time it was great but uh not
  • 00:10:07
    necessarily in real life and so at this
  • 00:10:10
    point I pretty much completely
  • 00:10:11
    disconnected myself from uh the way that
  • 00:10:14
    people saw me and I stopped caring about
  • 00:10:16
    the way that people saw me because I
  • 00:10:18
    pretty much gave up of on being like a
  • 00:10:20
    normal person I gave up on being
  • 00:10:23
    accepted by the public I gave up on
  • 00:10:24
    living a normal life or you know having
  • 00:10:26
    a family or anything like that I just
  • 00:10:28
    felt like I just was not capable of that
  • 00:10:31
    based off of my experiences that I had
  • 00:10:33
    and I I had many other ones too like I
  • 00:10:36
    stabbed somebody and a few other things
  • 00:10:38
    too I I probably wouldn't even say
  • 00:10:40
    because they would too drastically alter
  • 00:10:42
    people's perception of me uh but either
  • 00:10:45
    way uh you know a lot of these instances
  • 00:10:47
    where I kind of was like okay this is
  • 00:10:49
    this is bad maybe it's better that I'm
  • 00:10:51
    uh you know quarantined in my house and
  • 00:10:53
    so anyway uh I did this a lot and uh my
  • 00:10:56
    mom and I like it was really just kind
  • 00:10:58
    of the two of us uh my dad was there he
  • 00:11:00
    was supportive and he always has been
  • 00:11:02
    supportive but other than that uh I do
  • 00:11:04
    have family uh but none of them live in
  • 00:11:06
    the state of Texas and so uh any trouble
  • 00:11:08
    any problems anything like that it was
  • 00:11:10
    pretty much entirely on me uh to resolve
  • 00:11:12
    this issue and so take care of my mom
  • 00:11:15
    pay for things anything like that it was
  • 00:11:17
    always on me and uh her health started
  • 00:11:20
    deteriorating uh at about the same time
  • 00:11:23
    uh this is big surprise uh you smoked
  • 00:11:25
    since you're 16 you spend your entire
  • 00:11:28
    time smoking cigarettes watching
  • 00:11:30
    watching Ancient Aliens and [ __ ]
  • 00:11:32
    around on the internet playing wow and
  • 00:11:34
    you're overweight massively like she was
  • 00:11:37
    uh this isn't good for your health
  • 00:11:38
    especially when you're getting into your
  • 00:11:39
    60s which she was at that time cuz she
  • 00:11:42
    had me when she was like 39 and a half
  • 00:11:44
    or 40 or something and so at this point
  • 00:11:47
    uh you know her health was deteriorating
  • 00:11:49
    and I remember like she had like a
  • 00:11:51
    number of instances where like I would
  • 00:11:53
    uh I would like wake up and I hear her
  • 00:11:55
    like screaming because she like she
  • 00:11:56
    would like I don't I don't even really
  • 00:11:58
    know what the [ __ ] was wrong with her I
  • 00:11:59
    I don't know it was like a uh like a
  • 00:12:01
    weird thing where like she couldn't see
  • 00:12:03
    out of her eye and then she had like
  • 00:12:05
    some kind of like I think like a bleed
  • 00:12:06
    in her eye and then uh she had like I
  • 00:12:10
    think they it wasn't really a heart
  • 00:12:11
    attack there was like some sort of like
  • 00:12:13
    variation of that and I remember like
  • 00:12:15
    her like begging me not to call the
  • 00:12:17
    ambulance and this is just like and this
  • 00:12:19
    is at the same time that uh you know the
  • 00:12:22
    house is [ __ ] you know we can barely
  • 00:12:23
    pay for the house we're worried about
  • 00:12:24
    getting evicted from the house uh we
  • 00:12:26
    have no uh no AC or no we did have AC we
  • 00:12:29
    didn't have heat and so uh you know I
  • 00:12:32
    would go to sleep and like the house
  • 00:12:33
    would be so cold because I would just
  • 00:12:35
    give her to the heater and I always
  • 00:12:37
    viewed it as like you know oh I'm
  • 00:12:38
    sleeping out in Mount Everest right it's
  • 00:12:40
    like you know I'm cosplaying as Bear
  • 00:12:41
    Grills and I remember like my glass of
  • 00:12:44
    water in my uh in my room there would
  • 00:12:47
    have like ice crystals on the edge of it
  • 00:12:49
    right because of how [ __ ] cold it was
  • 00:12:51
    and so I did that really for like two
  • 00:12:53
    years and so we had like basically like
  • 00:12:54
    zero money and so uh this happened and
  • 00:12:58
    uh pretty like her health would
  • 00:13:00
    deteriorate more and more and more to
  • 00:13:02
    the point to where she couldn't drive
  • 00:13:04
    she couldn't do X she couldn't do y she
  • 00:13:05
    couldn't get a job anymore and then it
  • 00:13:07
    relied on me more and more to completely
  • 00:13:09
    support her in like pretty much all ways
  • 00:13:12
    and so and I remember she would like beg
  • 00:13:14
    like she was like on the ground like
  • 00:13:15
    crying uh begging me not to call an
  • 00:13:17
    ambulance and so this uh was very
  • 00:13:20
    upsetting for me by the way uh like I I
  • 00:13:23
    got to the point to where like at this
  • 00:13:24
    time period I would wake up like every
  • 00:13:27
    two hours or so with like uh like like a
  • 00:13:29
    weird thing where I would hear her
  • 00:13:30
    screaming my name and this went on for
  • 00:13:32
    maybe like 6 months to a year and uh and
  • 00:13:35
    also I want to say that like all of this
  • 00:13:37
    stuff and everything about it uh I don't
  • 00:13:39
    really like everybody in life has
  • 00:13:41
    problems and I hope that by sharing my
  • 00:13:43
    problems people can kind of see where
  • 00:13:45
    I'm coming from as a person I don't
  • 00:13:47
    really care about sympathy I don't care
  • 00:13:49
    about people feeling bad for me I don't
  • 00:13:50
    really give a [ __ ] it doesn't matter to
  • 00:13:52
    me uh so I I hope that nobody thinks
  • 00:13:55
    that this is coming off as any form of a
  • 00:13:57
    uh you know like sympathy play uh you
  • 00:13:59
    know I've had things bad happen in my
  • 00:14:01
    life I think that in many cases they've
  • 00:14:03
    been my fault I've deserved them uh but
  • 00:14:06
    this is just what's happened and so
  • 00:14:08
    anyway uh and and every every action and
  • 00:14:11
    every outcome in my life leading up to
  • 00:14:12
    now has led me to the position that I am
  • 00:14:14
    right now and I think that in a lot of
  • 00:14:16
    cases I'm happy with how I am and you
  • 00:14:18
    can't just go back and edit out all the
  • 00:14:20
    bad parts and expect to be in the good
  • 00:14:22
    part and so at the same time this was
  • 00:14:24
    happening like a lot of my friends were
  • 00:14:26
    obviously going through college
  • 00:14:27
    finishing College uh you know having
  • 00:14:29
    girlfriends like moving in and
  • 00:14:31
    everything and I was worried about uh
  • 00:14:33
    you know number one my mom dying number
  • 00:14:35
    two um uh my uh you know being homeless
  • 00:14:39
    and number three uh at that point uh I
  • 00:14:42
    had always assumed that I would kill
  • 00:14:43
    myself After High School like that was
  • 00:14:45
    my plan and uh you know wrath the
  • 00:14:48
    lichking came out and I just got
  • 00:14:49
    distracted I I forgot and so I uh ended
  • 00:14:53
    up not doing that and uh because of that
  • 00:14:56
    I never brushed my teeth in high school
  • 00:14:57
    never really gave a [ __ ] about it never
  • 00:14:59
    cared and this caused guess what that
  • 00:15:01
    guess what that causes uh it causes your
  • 00:15:03
    teeth to rot out and so a lot of my
  • 00:15:05
    teeth had to be uh you know I had to get
  • 00:15:06
    fillings and everything as a as a
  • 00:15:08
    teenager and uh my Dad paid for a lot of
  • 00:15:11
    it which he was very very unhappy about
  • 00:15:13
    and so these ceillings would come out
  • 00:15:15
    this is what happens with fillings or
  • 00:15:16
    anything like that and they did come out
  • 00:15:19
    and then of course my teeth deteriorated
  • 00:15:21
    naturally because I love soda I love
  • 00:15:22
    drinking soda I've got a soda right over
  • 00:15:24
    there went to McDonald's earlier today
  • 00:15:26
    really really like soda like it so much
  • 00:15:28
    that right now uh I only have five real
  • 00:15:31
    teeth left in my whole mouth and uh I
  • 00:15:33
    think you start with like 32 which is
  • 00:15:35
    kind of crazy to think and so anyway um
  • 00:15:38
    this happened and uh all my teeth were
  • 00:15:40
    starting to rot out I was not able to
  • 00:15:42
    eat with one side of my mouth I would
  • 00:15:44
    have these two thakes that would get so
  • 00:15:46
    bad that I would pass out from the pain
  • 00:15:48
    and I eventually had to go to like the
  • 00:15:50
    uh like basically uh if if you're like
  • 00:15:54
    the people that really get [ __ ] by
  • 00:15:55
    medical bills are the people that are in
  • 00:15:57
    the middle of like uh you know econom Al
  • 00:15:59
    because if you're broke like they'll do
  • 00:16:01
    [ __ ] for you for like $10 if they can
  • 00:16:03
    get anything they'll do it and so I had
  • 00:16:05
    a program like that and so they would
  • 00:16:06
    have to pull out my teeth kind of
  • 00:16:08
    regularly and uh that's how I lost I
  • 00:16:10
    have no back teeth at all that's why uh
  • 00:16:12
    if you look at my jawline uh it's very
  • 00:16:14
    different than if you look at it uh from
  • 00:16:17
    like you know high school or like by the
  • 00:16:19
    age of like 19 or 20 uh it's completely
  • 00:16:22
    changed because I've lost all of my
  • 00:16:23
    teeth and my jaw uh bone is like pretty
  • 00:16:26
    much rotted out and so which I as far as
  • 00:16:29
    I know is is unfixable at least in in
  • 00:16:31
    the way that I have this problem uh
  • 00:16:34
    there there's a separate problem that is
  • 00:16:36
    fixable I don't have that one I talked
  • 00:16:37
    to a dentist about it so it's it's
  • 00:16:39
    basically like irreversibly [ __ ] and
  • 00:16:42
    so anyway uh this happened and um it was
  • 00:16:45
    not a great time uh my teeth were
  • 00:16:47
    rotting out Etc and at that point I had
  • 00:16:50
    to completely like pretty much give up
  • 00:16:53
    the notion and give up the uh dream of
  • 00:16:56
    ever being a normal person at that point
  • 00:16:58
    I I could feel myself uh no longer being
  • 00:17:01
    uh the same as anybody else right and uh
  • 00:17:04
    I I I actually for a while I I really
  • 00:17:07
    hated it but then I got used to it and
  • 00:17:09
    then uh I that then I I embraced it and
  • 00:17:13
    I think that's that's where I am now so
  • 00:17:15
    I would say like that was from like ages
  • 00:17:17
    like I would say you know 13 uh to I
  • 00:17:21
    don't know like 21 somewhere around
  • 00:17:23
    there right uh then after that uh I
  • 00:17:26
    started uh I started doing other stuff I
  • 00:17:28
    was playing wow I was making videos I
  • 00:17:30
    was doing other random things right and
  • 00:17:33
    uh my mom's like Health pretty much
  • 00:17:35
    would always get worse and that's just
  • 00:17:36
    you know that's just the way it is when
  • 00:17:37
    you get older right and so I would have
  • 00:17:40
    to do my best to like take care of her
  • 00:17:42
    and uh worked at the IRS for a while uh
  • 00:17:44
    tried to work at Sam's Club didn't
  • 00:17:46
    really go very well uh but overall I uh
  • 00:17:49
    you know tried to go back to college I
  • 00:17:51
    do have a college degree if you can
  • 00:17:52
    imagine that but uh learned more from
  • 00:17:55
    business from W than I did from business
  • 00:17:57
    school and so so uh then I I spent that
  • 00:18:01
    time and then this was all the time like
  • 00:18:03
    you know me not knowing if she would you
  • 00:18:05
    know every day I would wake up and like
  • 00:18:06
    you know hear that voice in my mind and
  • 00:18:09
    like you know it was really really bad
  • 00:18:11
    and uh this is just something I would do
  • 00:18:13
    all the time and I try to always make
  • 00:18:16
    the best out of things I try to just you
  • 00:18:18
    know not think about it but uh you know
  • 00:18:20
    looking back on it things were very very
  • 00:18:22
    bad and so anyway uh you know fast
  • 00:18:24
    forward a little bit later and that's
  • 00:18:26
    whenever I was like going back to uh
  • 00:18:28
    going back to college
  • 00:18:29
    I um I thought that I would just you
  • 00:18:32
    know basically have a shitty job play
  • 00:18:34
    video games for my whole life and then
  • 00:18:36
    die right and then I got a shitty job
  • 00:18:39
    and I realized a shitty job is actually
  • 00:18:40
    a lot more shitty than I thought it
  • 00:18:42
    would be so then I remember it was
  • 00:18:44
    probably like one of the best things
  • 00:18:45
    that ever happened to me is that uh I I
  • 00:18:48
    took this job at Sam's Club and I hated
  • 00:18:51
    it so much it actually encouraged me to
  • 00:18:53
    make myself a better person if you can
  • 00:18:54
    imagine that and so uh I I signed up to
  • 00:18:58
    go back to University and finish another
  • 00:19:00
    degree that I was working on so I could
  • 00:19:02
    go to law school actually I wanted to be
  • 00:19:03
    a lawyer um basically because I I had a
  • 00:19:07
    friend in high school we would always
  • 00:19:09
    play Magic the Gathering and I could see
  • 00:19:11
    him he would always manipulate the rules
  • 00:19:13
    to come out ahead and win different like
  • 00:19:15
    arguments and mag the Gathering and I
  • 00:19:17
    was like hm I bet lawyers do that in
  • 00:19:19
    real life I should do that myself and so
  • 00:19:21
    that was always my motivation and uh
  • 00:19:24
    anyway I I did that and uh then you know
  • 00:19:27
    a number of other things you know random
  • 00:19:29
    things that are not you know I would say
  • 00:19:31
    like YouTube or public uh safe uh that I
  • 00:19:34
    did and um then after that I uh started
  • 00:19:38
    doing YouTube and then I started doing
  • 00:19:39
    YouTube and I I focused on that and I
  • 00:19:42
    would put videos out of the way that I
  • 00:19:44
    lived Etc and uh people would always
  • 00:19:47
    find it to be very funny or like weird
  • 00:19:49
    and everybody would like really like
  • 00:19:51
    there were a lot of people and and this
  • 00:19:52
    is true even now uh people that like
  • 00:19:54
    hate me for living the way that I do and
  • 00:19:56
    I think that really um you know people
  • 00:19:58
    look at a person like me and they see a
  • 00:20:01
    person who has a number of things in
  • 00:20:03
    their life that they wish they had but
  • 00:20:06
    I've done basically you know if you look
  • 00:20:08
    at it from like what do they tell you to
  • 00:20:10
    do when you're growing up uh you know I
  • 00:20:12
    used every single thing to do as a
  • 00:20:14
    checklist of what not to do right and so
  • 00:20:17
    uh you know I think that a lot of people
  • 00:20:18
    could be a little bit um you know
  • 00:20:20
    annoyed by that and so I I can see why
  • 00:20:23
    and Etc and and it is disgusting by the
  • 00:20:25
    way and so uh you know missing half your
  • 00:20:28
    teeth and uh you know living uh in a
  • 00:20:31
    dump uh with a dead rat alarm clock you
  • 00:20:33
    don't know if your mom's going to be
  • 00:20:35
    alive that day uh you've got no money
  • 00:20:37
    you have to support her she's never
  • 00:20:39
    going to be able to support herself uh
  • 00:20:41
    and things are just basically slowly
  • 00:20:43
    getting worse and worse and worse and uh
  • 00:20:45
    I started doing YouTube and things
  • 00:20:47
    started doing a little bit better I
  • 00:20:49
    started doing streaming things were
  • 00:20:51
    doing better then uh I went to uh get my
  • 00:20:53
    teeth fixed because if you look at my
  • 00:20:56
    old videos a lot of my old videos you'd
  • 00:20:58
    notice that I smile you know when I
  • 00:21:00
    smile I cover my mouth when I smile uh
  • 00:21:02
    the reason for that is isn't sauno where
  • 00:21:04
    I I don't like my smile yeah well I
  • 00:21:07
    don't like my smile it's not because I
  • 00:21:08
    think it's ugly it's because I didn't
  • 00:21:10
    have any any [ __ ] teeth and I didn't
  • 00:21:11
    want people to see that and so uh that's
  • 00:21:14
    why I would cover my mouth a lot
  • 00:21:15
    whenever I first started streaming and
  • 00:21:17
    so uh this happened to me uh for a long
  • 00:21:20
    time they finally I go to I go to go to
  • 00:21:23
    the dentist and they tell me it's going
  • 00:21:25
    to be like around uh $50,000 to get all
  • 00:21:27
    my teeth fixed and everything
  • 00:21:29
    taken care of um then I thought maybe
  • 00:21:32
    because it was the first time at that
  • 00:21:33
    point where I I kind of like it really
  • 00:21:35
    hit me that I had like irreversibly and
  • 00:21:38
    irreparably damaged my life in a way
  • 00:21:40
    that I couldn't just immediately like
  • 00:21:42
    undo CU like as a kid you know usually
  • 00:21:44
    you make a mistake where it's like you
  • 00:21:46
    scrape your knee and then well you put a
  • 00:21:48
    bandage on it gets better but with this
  • 00:21:50
    it never was going to get better and
  • 00:21:51
    it's only going to get worse and it
  • 00:21:53
    certainly has by the way and so anyway
  • 00:21:56
    uh I I did want to kill myself but I
  • 00:21:58
    decided instead of killing myself I'd do
  • 00:22:00
    something even worse I'd start streaming
  • 00:22:03
    and uh I started streaming because I
  • 00:22:05
    wasn't really making enough money and
  • 00:22:07
    everybody says oh well I started
  • 00:22:08
    streaming because you know I like
  • 00:22:11
    interacting with people it's because I
  • 00:22:12
    was lonely well I I started streaming
  • 00:22:15
    for money I needed some [ __ ] money
  • 00:22:18
    and so that's what I did and I was like
  • 00:22:20
    guys we've got a donation goal of $100
  • 00:22:24
    and you know if we get $100 I'm going to
  • 00:22:26
    go to Wendy's tomorrow and I would
  • 00:22:28
    always meme it up you know $1 equals one
  • 00:22:30
    donut and it's like you know I would
  • 00:22:32
    make a bunch of money and it was great
  • 00:22:33
    and and things actually did go very well
  • 00:22:35
    I I streamed every single night I was
  • 00:22:37
    very dedicated I tried to make things as
  • 00:22:39
    entertaining as possible and uh you know
  • 00:22:41
    I did what I tried to do best right and
  • 00:22:43
    um things kind of got better and they
  • 00:22:45
    improved uh this happened uh just at
  • 00:22:48
    pretty much the same time a lot of my
  • 00:22:50
    friends were kind of evolving and going
  • 00:22:51
    past you know uh you know like college
  • 00:22:55
    like they were getting careers getting
  • 00:22:57
    married having kids and like now I'm I'm
  • 00:22:58
    pretty sure I'm thinking to myself I'm
  • 00:23:01
    pretty sure every single friend that I
  • 00:23:03
    have is either married or has a kid uh
  • 00:23:06
    which is kind of crazy considering that
  • 00:23:08
    uh you know I'm I'm sitting here doing
  • 00:23:10
    doing what I'm doing but it is kind of
  • 00:23:12
    weird I'm I'm 34 now which is um
  • 00:23:15
    honestly a [ __ ] shock like I I can't
  • 00:23:18
    believe it I don't feel 34 I feel like
  • 00:23:20
    I'm still 16 but uh I look in the mirror
  • 00:23:23
    I see my hairline and I think to myself
  • 00:23:25
    oh my God wait a minute I think I'm
  • 00:23:26
    actually 34 and if I'm really not sure I
  • 00:23:29
    talk to somebody who's 16 and then I
  • 00:23:31
    realize hold up wait a minute no
  • 00:23:33
    actually I am 34 because that there's no
  • 00:23:35
    better way to realize that you're
  • 00:23:37
    actually older until you talk to
  • 00:23:38
    somebody who's actually younger at least
  • 00:23:40
    it is for me so anyway um you know my
  • 00:23:43
    stream was doing very well uh my social
  • 00:23:45
    life early I I I pretty much like
  • 00:23:47
    stopped interacting with a lot of
  • 00:23:48
    friends of mine because I focused pretty
  • 00:23:50
    much just on streaming and on making
  • 00:23:52
    this as much as possible and also I'm a
  • 00:23:54
    very introverted person in a lot of ways
  • 00:23:56
    I like being alone I don't like people
  • 00:23:58
    talk talking to me a whole lot I don't
  • 00:24:00
    like phone calls I don't like
  • 00:24:01
    interacting with people I don't like
  • 00:24:02
    going out uh if you guys might notice
  • 00:24:04
    this right if it's you know a mystery or
  • 00:24:07
    secret and so um you know big surprise
  • 00:24:10
    that's how it was and uh then you know I
  • 00:24:13
    started streaming My Stream started
  • 00:24:14
    doing better and uh there was a degree
  • 00:24:17
    of like stress that that created but and
  • 00:24:20
    and in terms of like my lifestyle and
  • 00:24:21
    everything uh living that way I never
  • 00:24:24
    really thought about it at that point I
  • 00:24:26
    never really worried too much about like
  • 00:24:28
    kind of how uh you know people would
  • 00:24:30
    perceive me I always viewed myself as
  • 00:24:33
    like you know this is just who I am this
  • 00:24:34
    is what I am that's all there is to it
  • 00:24:36
    and I never really took and I still
  • 00:24:38
    don't really take any criticism or any
  • 00:24:40
    negativity to heart I don't take it
  • 00:24:42
    personally I don't really care a whole
  • 00:24:43
    lot and so at the end of the day it
  • 00:24:46
    never really bothered me and people
  • 00:24:47
    thought it was funny and so you know I
  • 00:24:49
    had like these snack box and there were
  • 00:24:52
    like uh maggots in the snackbox and I
  • 00:24:54
    would eat this food with the the maggots
  • 00:24:57
    inside of the food it was like honey
  • 00:24:59
    buns which were really really good and
  • 00:25:01
    to be honest I didn't even really taste
  • 00:25:03
    them so it was pretty much the same
  • 00:25:04
    thing didn't even bother me and so uh
  • 00:25:07
    you know I I had like taken at that
  • 00:25:09
    point you know my teeth had like totally
  • 00:25:10
    rotten out and so I had taken pliers to
  • 00:25:13
    like break pieces of my teeth off even
  • 00:25:15
    uh you know like if I wasn't able to
  • 00:25:17
    speak during a stream cuz like a point
  • 00:25:19
    was like you know poking my tongue or
  • 00:25:21
    like uh you know playing a game or
  • 00:25:23
    something like that talking to people
  • 00:25:25
    and so I still have the players actually
  • 00:25:27
    in my in my bathroom from all the way
  • 00:25:29
    back then and uh so this had happened
  • 00:25:32
    for for quite a while and uh then I
  • 00:25:35
    guess you could say uh I I started like
  • 00:25:38
    I guess like the second phase of my life
  • 00:25:40
    of like trying to remove myself from
  • 00:25:42
    like caring about uh like uh being
  • 00:25:45
    worried about the outcome of other
  • 00:25:46
    people uh it was always very scary for
  • 00:25:49
    me to know that like you know my mom
  • 00:25:51
    would die uh one day right this was
  • 00:25:53
    extremely scary this was like the one
  • 00:25:55
    thing that I didn't want to have happen
  • 00:25:57
    and in 201 and 21 it did happen and so
  • 00:26:00
    leading up to that was incredibly
  • 00:26:03
    stressful um she pretty much did
  • 00:26:05
    everything that she possibly could I
  • 00:26:07
    love her but she did every [ __ ] thing
  • 00:26:10
    that she could to make things as
  • 00:26:12
    absolutely unpleasant as possible oh my
  • 00:26:16
    God and so yes yes yes uh it was very
  • 00:26:20
    frustrating to deal with somebody like
  • 00:26:21
    that but you know she was 70 at the time
  • 00:26:25
    and so it really really really hurt and
  • 00:26:27
    uh it it's you know like she was the
  • 00:26:30
    main person in my life that I was like
  • 00:26:32
    most connected to and like you know this
  • 00:26:35
    is the person that I had like the
  • 00:26:36
    deepest emotional connection with and to
  • 00:26:38
    just lose them and it was kind of random
  • 00:26:40
    by the way like things got worse over
  • 00:26:42
    time but it was nothing like at the the
  • 00:26:45
    very end there it just kind of went off
  • 00:26:46
    a [ __ ] cliff and so this happened and
  • 00:26:49
    then at about the same time a little bit
  • 00:26:51
    after that I uh also broke up with a
  • 00:26:55
    long-term girlfriend at the time and
  • 00:26:57
    then at the same time my dad got so
  • 00:27:00
    [ __ ] sick that we were like talking
  • 00:27:02
    about writing his will like and and he's
  • 00:27:05
    still setting all that up because he
  • 00:27:06
    doesn't know if this shit's going to
  • 00:27:07
    happen again right what's going to be
  • 00:27:09
    and he's 77 too so it's it's rough right
  • 00:27:12
    it's bad and uh he went through the
  • 00:27:14
    monia four [ __ ] times in a year and
  • 00:27:16
    so and he's still still getting around
  • 00:27:18
    you know going to the store Etc but I
  • 00:27:20
    got to help him every once in a while
  • 00:27:22
    too right and uh it is what it is and so
  • 00:27:25
    again and and you know we don't have any
  • 00:27:27
    family around here and so you know if
  • 00:27:29
    something goes wrong if something's bad
  • 00:27:31
    uh there's one person who's responsible
  • 00:27:32
    for that and that's me and so that's a
  • 00:27:35
    lot of stress it's a lot of lot of uh
  • 00:27:37
    pressure right and uh you know I had all
  • 00:27:39
    three of these things happen to me
  • 00:27:41
    within pretty much one year of each
  • 00:27:42
    other maybe two years with the thing
  • 00:27:44
    with my dad and so at that point I began
  • 00:27:47
    the second part of I think that like you
  • 00:27:49
    know my uh you know abstraction of
  • 00:27:52
    reality is that I've tried my best to
  • 00:27:55
    remove myself from caring about other
  • 00:27:57
    people as much as I can and not caring
  • 00:27:59
    about them in terms of like you know
  • 00:28:00
    being friendly of course I'm friendly
  • 00:28:02
    with people but being emotionally
  • 00:28:04
    attached to having them in my life being
  • 00:28:07
    emotionally attached to the way that
  • 00:28:09
    they feel about me and how they're doing
  • 00:28:11
    uh it's been very hard for me to
  • 00:28:13
    actually have any to sort of feelings
  • 00:28:15
    towards people when it seems like
  • 00:28:17
    everybody that was important to me is
  • 00:28:19
    [ __ ] dying and so uh this or or
  • 00:28:22
    leaving me right or or breaking up with
  • 00:28:24
    me so at a certain point you just kind
  • 00:28:26
    of get away from that and uh then after
  • 00:28:29
    that uh I you know we entered into I
  • 00:28:31
    would say the third phase which is the
  • 00:28:33
    point where I I you know lose the
  • 00:28:36
    connection with myself and I I think
  • 00:28:38
    that whenever I finally do that I think
  • 00:28:41
    that maybe one day I might be happy
  • 00:28:43
    again and what I mean by that is that I
  • 00:28:45
    always worry about like dying and you
  • 00:28:47
    know all this stuff and like how how I'm
  • 00:28:49
    you know like where where do you go what
  • 00:28:50
    happens right and it would be very very
  • 00:28:53
    stressful for me and I usually reassure
  • 00:28:55
    Myself by reminding myself that I'm just
  • 00:28:56
    a hyper intelligent monkey
  • 00:28:58
    that probably evolved too fast and I
  • 00:29:00
    think that we all are by the way it's
  • 00:29:02
    not like I'm special and uh that usually
  • 00:29:05
    is oddly reassuring but otherwise um it
  • 00:29:09
    was very stressful for me and I did
  • 00:29:11
    think that I was farther along I thought
  • 00:29:13
    I would be okay with dying until I
  • 00:29:15
    thought that I was dying and then I
  • 00:29:16
    realized that I wasn't as far along as I
  • 00:29:18
    thought I was uh recently whenever I had
  • 00:29:20
    a blood pressure reading of 194 which uh
  • 00:29:23
    is a high score so far um you know at
  • 00:29:25
    least so far and so uh things Happ been
  • 00:29:28
    improving since then by the way but
  • 00:29:30
    anyway um this has been uh you know my
  • 00:29:33
    life and uh I I I I stopped really
  • 00:29:37
    caring about anything I stopped caring
  • 00:29:40
    about what happens to me I stopped
  • 00:29:42
    caring about what happens to other
  • 00:29:44
    people I stopped caring about what
  • 00:29:45
    people think about me and I felt that
  • 00:29:48
    the more that I have the Le the the more
  • 00:29:51
    that I've cared about things the more
  • 00:29:54
    unhappy I've been as a person and uh I
  • 00:29:57
    think that this is true on like a base
  • 00:29:59
    level uh is this some sort of
  • 00:30:01
    pathological problem for me I think it
  • 00:30:04
    probably is but at the end of the day uh
  • 00:30:06
    this is the best way that I know to cope
  • 00:30:08
    with it right and so for me the way that
  • 00:30:11
    I live and everything is a manifestation
  • 00:30:14
    of that uh it's always been this way for
  • 00:30:17
    me uh my mom like growing up things were
  • 00:30:19
    pretty messy Etc but then even now
  • 00:30:22
    things are worse than they ever have
  • 00:30:24
    been in terms of like being messy but uh
  • 00:30:27
    you know never really think about it or
  • 00:30:29
    worry about it because I'm just never
  • 00:30:31
    really it it doesn't even cross my mind
  • 00:30:33
    I'm thinking about things that I want to
  • 00:30:34
    think about I'm doing things that I want
  • 00:30:36
    to do and I never think about what other
  • 00:30:39
    people think about me I don't think
  • 00:30:41
    about how it affects other people I
  • 00:30:42
    don't think about how they feel or
  • 00:30:44
    anything like that and uh it might sound
  • 00:30:46
    like a bad thing but it's made me a
  • 00:30:49
    happier and more fulfilled person uh not
  • 00:30:51
    worrying about anybody else really other
  • 00:30:54
    than myself unless I have to and um it's
  • 00:30:57
    been very like uh weird uh for me uh
  • 00:31:01
    getting older especially and uh you know
  • 00:31:04
    like having like priorities change in
  • 00:31:05
    your life and you know having different
  • 00:31:07
    things happen to you and so I wanted to
  • 00:31:09
    make this video and kind of like explain
  • 00:31:11
    like kind of how I got to be this way
  • 00:31:15
    and hopefully uh a little bit of this
  • 00:31:17
    can like explain why do I behave this
  • 00:31:19
    way why am I like this why do I have no
  • 00:31:21
    shame with things right uh it's because
  • 00:31:23
    I I've lived a life where I've tried
  • 00:31:26
    desperately to hold on to to any degree
  • 00:31:28
    of dignity that I've had and anything
  • 00:31:30
    that I've had and it's just slowly been
  • 00:31:32
    taken away from me uh whether it's
  • 00:31:35
    myself pieces of myself uh other people
  • 00:31:38
    uh or uh the way that the world sees me
  • 00:31:41
    uh I think that the more that I've kind
  • 00:31:43
    of just you know let things flow freely
  • 00:31:46
    and not care about it the more happy and
  • 00:31:49
    content that I've been and so uh it's an
  • 00:31:52
    ongoing process and uh began whenever I
  • 00:31:55
    said you know I guess I said I was like
  • 00:31:57
    13
  • 00:31:58
    and uh you know I guess the last thing
  • 00:32:01
    for me to do is really to let go of
  • 00:32:03
    myself and you know just finally be
  • 00:32:05
    content with my own existence for the
  • 00:32:07
    time that I exist and uh I'm not really
  • 00:32:10
    a religious person I'm not a spiritual
  • 00:32:11
    person either I don't believe there's
  • 00:32:13
    any light at the end of the tunnel I
  • 00:32:15
    definitely don't think so and uh I just
  • 00:32:18
    try to make the best of uh being in the
  • 00:32:20
    tunnel and so that's why I live the way
  • 00:32:23
    that I do that's why I do the things
  • 00:32:25
    that I do that's why I say the things
  • 00:32:26
    that I do that's why a lot of criticism
  • 00:32:29
    and things like this of course I don't
  • 00:32:30
    like it of course I don't like it but um
  • 00:32:33
    it doesn't really emotionally affect me
  • 00:32:35
    on the same way that I think it does for
  • 00:32:36
    other people and it used to affect me a
  • 00:32:39
    lot more but I've you know you know
  • 00:32:41
    gotten a little bit better at least at
  • 00:32:42
    dealing with it and so hopefully this
  • 00:32:44
    can answer some questions and kind of uh
  • 00:32:47
    give people a little bit more insight
  • 00:32:48
    into my life and the kind of person I am
  • 00:32:51
    and
  • 00:32:52
    uh that's pretty much about it I I I'm
  • 00:32:55
    trying to think if there's anything else
  • 00:32:56
    I have to cover 30 minute video video
  • 00:32:58
    actually I was expecting it to be longer
  • 00:33:00
    so you know that's my life story that's
  • 00:33:02
    what's happened to me in general and uh
  • 00:33:05
    that's why I am the way I am and uh will
  • 00:33:08
    I ever change uh maybe maybe not right I
  • 00:33:11
    mean I I honestly like you know making a
  • 00:33:14
    lot of money on Twitch and you know like
  • 00:33:17
    the notoriety and everything like people
  • 00:33:19
    recognize
  • 00:33:22
    you I mean I just it it that I I mean I
  • 00:33:26
    guess it's nice right and I mean
  • 00:33:28
    sometimes it it's I mean having money is
  • 00:33:31
    way better than not having money but in
  • 00:33:33
    terms of like you know having a lot of
  • 00:33:35
    wealth uh I live in my same house I use
  • 00:33:38
    my same desk I you know for a very long
  • 00:33:42
    time drove my same car uh I eat in the
  • 00:33:45
    same places I do the same things I
  • 00:33:47
    really haven't changed at all honestly
  • 00:33:50
    uh ever since I was like younger ever
  • 00:33:52
    since my stream got popular and uh maybe
  • 00:33:54
    one day I will maybe one day I won't at
  • 00:33:57
    the end of the day
  • 00:33:58
    um I think that one thing that I've
  • 00:34:00
    always really kind of focused on and
  • 00:34:02
    thought about a lot is that I have
  • 00:34:04
    complete and absolute agency over my own
  • 00:34:07
    life uh I can do anything that I want to
  • 00:34:09
    do and I canot do anything that I don't
  • 00:34:11
    want to do and I think that's been a
  • 00:34:13
    very uh comforting fact and so people
  • 00:34:16
    ask me like are you ever going to do
  • 00:34:17
    this it's not something I'm really
  • 00:34:18
    thinking about changing right now but in
  • 00:34:20
    the future I might change my mind uh I
  • 00:34:23
    just don't know yet and so I just try to
  • 00:34:26
    live life and enjoy it and uh you know
  • 00:34:29
    uh be able to uh experience things for
  • 00:34:32
    the way that they're meant to be
  • 00:34:33
    experienced and um really I don't care a
  • 00:34:36
    whole lot about that even either um I
  • 00:34:38
    don't care about you know going out or
  • 00:34:40
    having certain life experiences or oh
  • 00:34:42
    you'll regret this well who cares if you
  • 00:34:44
    regret this when you're old you're about
  • 00:34:45
    to die anyway it's doesn't even matter
  • 00:34:48
    and so uh I've never really felt that
  • 00:34:50
    way it's just not it's not in me and so
  • 00:34:53
    uh that's really my whole life and um
  • 00:34:56
    that's why I live the way that I live
  • 00:34:58
    it's why I do things the way that I do
  • 00:34:59
    things and um you know maybe one day
  • 00:35:02
    it'll change maybe one day it won't who
  • 00:35:04
