I know exactly what you mean about more and more people these days. I'm a woman in her 60's, and I'll hold the door for people and not even get any acknowledgement whatsoever, or let someone go ahead of me, no thanks for a little bit of kindness of whatever. It's sad really. But then there are so many good and sweet people out there that it makes up for it and gives you hope, you know? 😊 We can only be responsible for our own actions and keep smiling. Most people will respond to a genuine smile, so I'll keep on smiling. It sure feels better than a frown, so turn than frown upside down! Lol. Love you and your doggie and your videos are great! Keep it up, and it's refreshing to hear your down to earth stories and feelings and philosophies on life. I appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. It feels good to know that we aren’t alone in how we feel. There are certain TH-cam channels, and yours is one of them, that really give others a boost in others’ daily lives. So be please remember that your channel, for how long you want to keep doing it, has a purpose for others. Social media most of the time is so negative but it’s a breathe of fresh air to have your channel. Bty, that steak looked awesome!!
I love your channel and I have to say you are 100% right people have become rude and mean these days but who knows what is going on in their lives.Stay safe and continue to enjoy life.
It’s very hard to be “real” today, there’s a lot of fake people who seem to be trying to make their lives something it’s not. Your very correct about society, no manners or decency in public. When’s the last time you saw a man hold a door open for a woman and if they do there’s no acknowledgement or thank you. My wife has had doors close in her face because the person just lets the door close behind them without concern there might be someone behind. Our great grandparents would be appalled.
Very heartfelt video this week. I wish more people saw how their actions affect others. I don't particularly agree with the term "fake," though. I'm typically aware of my moods and forewarn my coworkers. My mother agreed with you, though--we watch your videos as a family! 🤣 I think you can rest easy knowing you're never the only one who feels these frustrations. I hope you have a great week ahead with Mason and enjoy your time. 🥰 Oh, and I would smile and turn pink if you held the door open for me. 🤣😂
My husband and I really enjoy your channel. You and Mason make our day! You are such a special person, Larry, for being able to share your feelings like you do and making us feel like we are not alone. And, the way you treat Mason is just absolutely precious. Keep doing what you are doing because we honestly would be lost without you! Oh, BTW, not so much thanks for sharing how wonderful your liver was as now my husband is like, "I haven't had liver in a long time. Let's have some!" LOL
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Please know you are not alone on this journey of finding true joy and happiness. You’re right that possessions don’t make us happy. Experiences, friendships, family, and the companionship of a great dog like Mason are the things that fill our soul. Stay safe out there. We’re all behind you and appreciate you taking us along.
I think you should call it “Campfire talks with Larry”. Love the stories and personal views of the world you have. I have to agree Brother, it’s hard to be nice to people that aren’t nice back or don’t care at all about anyone but themselves. The world has become a cold place it seems. But then every once in awhile you run into people who are experiencing the same thing and it makes you feel better.
Wow Larry, thanks for your honesty! Same boat here, lived single most of my life,tried marriage, didn’t work out. Tried a girlfriend, even worse and realized I was only happy by myself with my puppies! 😎 I was diagnosed with Leukemia a few weeks back but I’ve got it on the run towards remission so it’s all good. I’m almost 79 and have an entirely new perspective on my mortality and life in general! 😎 Enjoy life and look after your health! ❤ Btw… we had a Long Haired Chihuahua when I was a teenager named Tippy but was only about a 3rd the size of Mason. lol
Larry we love your show. Jesus is the way to true joy. An internal joy that I can't even explain. And you are right, material things mean nothing. Save up for the things you want and you will enjoy it more and appreciate it. We sold our home a year and a half ago and moved into a fifth wheel and absolutely love it. We have a truck camper for weekends and vacations. Things dont make you happy. But boy My husbamd and I love our life and God. I did it without Him and have no desire to do anything without Him ever again. Im going to pray for you. Be thankful and appreciative with the small things, and you will be happy with anything else that comes your way. I can really tell you appreciate the gifts from your followers. It is so cool!
Larry, thank you. I'm starting up my camping channel this year. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I've been struggling with depression for a long time as well. I'm 30 years old. I really needed this video today. I think this was the push i needed to start making the moves i want and to start putting myself and happiness first. I appreciate you always being real and thanks for sharing this. It meant a lot to me today.
I’m not on YT, but watch a lot. My best advice is, be yourself. Get comfortable in front of the camera. Don’t pretend to be anything you’re not. Authenticity will get you far.✌🏻💕
I feel the same way as you. I am surrounded by the Fakers. As you have Mason, I have Bailey. My dog is my camping partner. I worked my whole life nonstop. 17-38 US Army. 38 to 60 worked nonstop and was not happy just surviving. At 60, I had enough. The last 2 yrs have been awesome. Life is short, and we have no time for the bs projected by others. I enjoy your content. Hi Mason.
You are 100% right about rude people these days . Also about people being fake . For me ,everything you have said in this video is true about people these days .This is why I like to go out camping in more remote places . Being in nature is my happy place . Thanks for the great video Larry . Mason is so cute .
This is an amazing video. Raw honesty is becoming a lost thing. One of the points you made about people being surprised when you said how you honestly felt stuck with me. When I ask someone how they are I am prepared for a conversation. I think more folks should care. Love watching the outdoors by the way.. A goal I am working towards being out in more for myself. Kudos my friend!
Even the most positive people get in a funk sometimes. Life can be hard and we all need to give ourselves some grace to have a bad day once in awhile. They key is not to stay there! You’re doing great with the videos and I always enjoy the set up. Always simple but charming and comfortable looking. 😊well done!
I use to joke with my husband (his names Larry too) you could cook a cat turd in bacon grease and it would taste good. LOL but now I can say the same for liver. I think you got a case of the winter blues! Everyone is looking for happiness and it's different for each and every being! I hope you find yours! Good to hear you laughing with Mason.😅 He knows you need him and he needs you! Dogs are very healing for what ales ya.
You're making a lot of sense and don't ever think that you are wasting your time talking about it. There are a lot of people out there that are dealing with the same issue as you you are helping more people than you know 😊
I love your openness and willingness to share your experiences. Everyone's journey is their own, but it's ok to ask for help along the way. Being open to help, being honest in our feelings, and genuinely caring for and about others all contribute to our long term happiness. I wish more people recognized that. I also love the 'smile' Mason had when he was sitting on your lap in the sunshine. He's a happy dog in that moment.
Thank you thank you thank you! Once again, you absolutely nailed it. Your entire monologue about giving it all up, falling into depression and “keeping up with the Joneses” is EXACTLY what I’ve been going through for the last couple of years. Your channel should be titled “you are not alone” lol I so much appreciate your transparency and honesty. You have not idea how much it’s helping folks like myself.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing that 🙏 that just made my night 😊 I wish you the best on your journeys moving forward! It gets rough at times but it’s definitely worth it 🤙
@@worklessenjoylifemore thanks brother. Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re a huge help and inspiration to many more people than you know. Speaking truth is one of the best ways to help humanity right now. And that’s what you do my friend. 🫡
I feel the same way about being out and about with the public. No one seems to be happy anymore and if you ask they say something to kill the conversation. I decided not to allow anyone take my joy away anymore. Stay safe and I enjoy seeing your videos.
I just wanted to say, I loved it when you were running with Mason. He was so cute when he was racing you to the camp and he was jumping over the trenches. I was laughing and really enjoying watching him. He is really an adorable dog. Take care and be safe.
I love watching your videos! I sold my house in 2020 and bought a 16x32 shed. My son and daughter-in-law finished out the inside for me. I love it and was one of the best decisions I ever made. Keep doing what you do because we all love watching. God Bless!
Well, I think it’s a mindset. Even though you’re not happy at the moment you can always find something positive to lift you up. It’s a rough time these days for a lot of us. Hope for the best. Keep pushing forward. God Bless you and yours. By the way, you’re doing better than others. Love the channel
Thank you for sharing your story. I have finally found my own happiness at age 62. . I enjoy your videos because you are so down to earth and enjoy the great outdoors. Found your channel thru Kenny of all Trades.
You’re describing things perfectly. I’m currently trying to cut back on debt and payments and move towards a more simple and happier life moving forward. Trying to stop focusing on things and focus more on mental health and experiences. This became one of my favorite videos of yours because of the serious and important conversation. You seem to be one of the more real TH-camrs.
Yesterday walking my dog a woman jogged by and I said hello with a smile. I got a grimace in return. Not uncommon. Keep on being kind. There's enough of us out there. Thanks for your honesty ❤
Watching your channel inspires me to keep going on my channel. Also I thank you for your advice. Also you talk to people as a genuine person. Maybe some don't agree but that's life.
The trick with TH-cam is to just keep plugging away! I wanted to quit probably four or five hundred times 🤣 but luckily I had Kenny from Kenny Of All Trades to talk to, and we would call each other on the phone and talk each other off the ledge of wanting to quit our channels 🤣 TH-cam knows how to make you feel worthless at times. But then all of a sudden it just starts taking off 🤷 Good luck moving forward, thank you for watching. 🙏
Thank you for your advice, I do get depressed about my channels growth. But your advice keeps me going. Also I love your videos, Thank You.@@worklessenjoylifemore
Thanks for making this video, it means allot to come across actually. I'm 26 and holy moly it's been a ride. Moved to Colorado about 4 years ago, met a girl, even bought a truck with money I didn't have, Went back and forth and got into campers. The final time I went back I had a 94 Lance slide in that I was living out of, went back to her, felt great FOR A COUPLE months, sold it, then I remembered why we didn't work together. Just like you said, I had everything I ever thought I ever wanted and the most Mayberry life anyone could ever ask for, but I still wasn't happy. Finally stopped chasing her, moved back into the back of my truck, and I started learning Whitewater kayaking, was mountain bike riding and working at the same time. Doing THAT gave me everything I've ever wanted since a child and I'm going to chase it as long as I can. I'm in Tucson right now fixing up a side entry,I hope I see ya around!
Hi Larry & Mason! Great video! Mason is such a good boy!❤️ Thank you for sharing your story and journey with us! Your cooking and talking with us is inspiring and relaxing! Take care and stay safe!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🐶❤️
Thank you Larry, and Mason for yet again another great video. I know and can relate to so much of what you shared. I grew up not worrying about money, so I didn't know how to truly appreciate what it can do for me. I know all too well about living a fake life. When my mother died unexpectedly in 1989, I was only 18 and had just graduated high school. That sent me into, well a life I wish on nobody else until June of 2017. I then spent an intense 2 years of my life finding..me! I've had so much in my life, that I can honestly say I was miserable. I am now the proud owner of a 2015 Jeep Patriot that I use to tow my little DIY 4x8 teardrop camper. I can also put everything I own these days in my vehicle, camper, and my rooftop cargo box. And I've never been happier! I have a very small group of people in my life that I've had the privilege to call family for the last 30 years. I think I might start rambling my thoughts now, so on that note..your videos bring happiness to so many. Thank you...Can't wait to try the root beer potatoes! And yes dryer lint is awesome for startng fires. My family collects it for me, along with all the paper towel/toilet paper rolls. The can also be used in so many ways as fire starters as well. Plus let's in the land fills polluting the planet.
Thank you so much for sharing that 🙏 it’s crazy how we can live a huge chunk of our lives and not realize how wrong we were 🤣 and then once you see the light, there’s no way to go back!! it sounds like to me you found true happiness and it sounds like you have a really good life! 😊
It takes a real man to be so transparent with his thoughts. Thank you. I loved the video when you and Mason are running and playing together. Keep up that gorgeous smile! I suffer from deep depression and your thoughts and feelings help me. I had chemo today and it was rough. Please keep up the prayers for me. Love, Tracy❤
Whereas I think it’s cool to slice the wood to make strands for easier lighting of campfires, the easiest method I’ve found is to swipe a cotton ball into petroleum jelly and light it while it’s placed under some wood. It has a decent burn time which gives the right amount of time for dry wood to ignite.
You are spot on about people being in a bad mood I think people have changed for the worse since covid it made people change toward each other no one has any manners or concern for other people but all I have to do is watch good people like you and mason and it changes my mood for the better keep doing what you do it gives me faith in humans . there are some good people in this world
Thanks for the video. Keep em coming. I personally don't think I fake my emotions I just tend to hide my pain. I feel like it's my burden to bear and nobody really cares anyway. I commented because I wanted you to know that your video's are helping me through a pretty rough patch and I don't think I'm the only one that feels this way.
You know, I feel the same way, sometimes about people not caring about what goes on in my life. It’s really hard to find a good friend that will truly listen! I don’t like to talk about religion in my videos, and I definitely don’t like to push it on people but for me, it helped when I finally gave in and started believing and a higher power. 🤷 I hope whatever it is that you’re going through gets easier. I’ll be sending prayers your way, if that’s OK? 🙏
Yeah it’s hard out there with the way people act! I hope things turn around one day before it gets worse. Thanks so much for watching and you definitely aren’t alone 🤙
Thank you for sharing. My husband and I are in our 60's and we share the same feelings as you. No one is nice anymore. We thought about hitting the road next year when my husband retires get a van or SUV selling our house and just live. You are not alone and now we know we aren't either. We live in a cold hearted world. We have a neighbor that is always causing problems to the point we end up having to call the police on him. All we want to do is live in peace, our house is old but it's home, for now. Thank you again for sharing this video about your life. God bless you and give you a long and healthy life🙏🏻💞🙏🏻
Oh, I hope you guys follow your dream and get a van or SUV! Especially with your current neighbors. I used to have neighbors like that too and it’s so hard because you don’t wanna leave but it’s hard to relax with them right next-door. Thank you so much for watching 🙏
You're so correct. The world is getting very sad. Thanks for sharing your feelings. We are all a work in progress. I've been through a lot also, and it's nice to hear that we can overcome all the shit handed to us. Keep up the great work. I will be watching and enjoying your videos.
Yesterday walking my dog a woman jogged by and I said hello with a smile. I got a grimace in return. Not uncommon and it hurts my feelings but I told myself I will continue to smile and be kind. Thank you for sharing your story. Saving for my camper to start my life in the woods. Love Mason watching you eat ❤
WLEL- I appreciated this video more than you know. I spent my entire childhood, adolescence, and teenage years deeply depressed and very emotionally dysfunctional. When I got into my late twenties I started seeing a counselor about the depression I had and found out a number of things beginning with the fact that I was very codependent. Abstaining from relationships and working on myself was a difficult process to begin, but once I started and began learning more about myself and the emotional mechanisms that seemed to derail my life and relationships the more I understood how to straighten those out. The immense relief I felt being able to exert control over my emotional state and deal with depression when it arose made me seek out more and more podcasts, reading material, and self-help approaches. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist, once quoted Carl Jung saying that "the best substitute for Psychotherapy was honest moral effort". Once you begin the process and become familiar with it, it is an evolving process for the rest of your life and climbing out of that pit of depression is the best feeling of all!
Love love your channel!! ❤❤❤ had a pop up pick up camper when I was 20, AND a super cool white chihuahua, Dottie.. she was almost 17, lost her right before I sold the house n hit the road.. she LOVED camping and had a real sweet mellow personality like Mason ❤ You are SOOOO on the right track:) Blessings! ☀️😊
The desert is full of stuff that will bite, sting, poke, or kill you. I’ve been living in Arizona all my life, my favorite is the Forrest or mountain. Flagstaff, the Rim country, Show Low.
Brother it's what most people don't want to hear but you are 100% right. The two words I've said more than any others in response to inquiries in my 56 years on this planet was.........IM FINE. It took me 50+ years to realize, it's OK to not be fine, and it's even more ok to make yourself vulnerable and let people know.......I'm not ok right now. That doesn't have to translate to someone being in a life or death situation as far as the gravity of them not being ok.
Thank you. You are not the only one that has gone thru this and your not alone. After time you will realize you don't need anyone or anything to make you happy. Your in control of it all. It sounds like your understanding that. That is the first step to fully powering your life. Set goals and follow thru that's where the power is. Every goal you accomplish will show you your in charge of your own happiness. I wish you a great happy journey.
I just discovered you on youtube a few months ago and you have me always looking forward to the next video. I love seeing Mason he is so sweet. Keep safe out there, and don't stop doing what you love .
There's three of us left!! I'll say the point of the video was TRUTH.... oh my goodness, you hit it all right on the nose, my friend. Rick and I have many conversations about the same challenges. It was unbelievable to hear your words, felt like you've been with us in our conversations. Yes, people at this time in society are more rude, uncaring, self centered, greety...etc...etc. It's a "me me" world. There, I said it, sad but true. I agree, it's ok to not like that behavior, cuz it doesn't have to be. We have hearts that try to right the wrong...and that's ok too😊. Stay committed Larry. You know where your rewards will come from. Love seeing you wear the beanie! I choose that color to match your jacket, great look! Thx for the "shout-out!" You've received lots of fun gifts. Yes, there are still lots of good-hearted people out there. Take care, asta pronto (until then)❤
Larry, it's the way of the world. The younger generation thinks that the world owes them. I am 72 yrs of age and live in Maine. I see it every day. I hold the door for the younger people and they walk right by and do not say a word. Sometimes I will respond with a thank you and just shake my head. Keep doing what you're doing. Your reward isn't here on earth but in heaven. LOL
Hey Larry,thank you so much for your lovely videos,they really are uplifting and cheer me up when life is tough. Life can be hard and folk are definitely turning more rude,entitled and mean but I believe it is because they are unhappy in their lives. I have felt at times since I moved to the States from England down and depressed as there have been numerous people where I live,complete strangers out at just the grocery store,come up and threaten me and insult me just because I have an English accent,I was even attacked back in 2021 in Kroger carpark because a woman hated the English so she had heard me talking at the checkout, followed me to my car and punched me in the face. Folk can be cruel but I know now that they are the problem not me. As long as I have my three dogs,I am happy!❤ Look forward to your next video and love to little Mason,he is such a character!❤🐾
Larry- I have enjoyed watching your episodes for a few months. Your most recent one is my favorite. Thanks for putting yourself out there. You're a good human and you speak the truth. -Hersch
Okay so I have to make a second comment being that I was not expecting the amazing turn your video took and I just want to say I really appreciate it, once you sat down I was humbled by your story and impressed that you so easily shared it with us. I want to thank you sincerely for sharing your perspectives on emotional and mental health and that it's important that we check in with ourselves to make sure we're alright and that we have options to make the adjustments needed to get out of drowning in our own misery. In fact, I am so pleased to hear someone talk about the depth of their experience and feelings about these life circumstances, I am so bored that even some old friends or coworkers can't/won't reach these depths anymore and is probably why I keep to myself so much as I'd rather have quality of time with somebody than quantity. Again, I just really appreciate this video and consider myself lucky to have landed on this one. Okay, I promise, no more comments today!
Hi Larry The journey you are on is an awakening of your consciousness and awareness there is more to life than the average person seems to think. That is so awesome and will make your life better then you imagined possible! So happy for you. Keep on the path to finding your true self. Am immensely enjoying your journey. Bless you.
Well spoken and I am glad it was said. This hit home and I feel some of these same things as I get older. Life is short and I wish I could go back and do some things over although I do believe everything happens for a reason. Thanks for having the courage to speak up.
Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed the package, I hope Mason enjoys the toy. 😊. You are so right, take what you learn day by day and apply it to the future. Everyday is a learning experience. It has taken me a long time to get to the point I am at now, and even though I have my days I really try to put good out there in hopes to get it back. Blessed to still be here and grateful for everything I have been through, good and bad. Stay honest and keep up the great videos!
Love your Honesty! If a person is dealing with depression the Only thing they should ever be ashamed of is not acknowledging it, accepting it, and dealing with it? Faking it will get them know where? We have to be Honest with ourselves about our lives to ever find True Happiness!! Keep On, keepen on Larry!!
I appreciate you sharing, so honestly. Sharing your life experiences with others is a courageous and compassionte thing to do. It opens doors for others to share their experiences, which helps us help each other. Some folks are ok skimming the top and staying shallow in sharing, other types of folks prefer the deeper end of conversation. I find the deeper conversations...more thought provoking... and more likely to teach me more. Keep doing you wholeheartedly.
Wow! This video really hit home with me. I’m going through such a tough time and life changing things and everything you said on your video is true, so very true. I was hoping TH-cam would help my situation but it hasn’t. I think my channel just isn’t good enough. It so hard for me because I’m an Empath and can really feel all the negativity from people so deeply. At least your getting better and your TH-cam channel has really picked up. I think you need someone to help you like Kenny Of All Trades did for you. I’m so very glad your happier and I’ll keep working on me Have a great week and thank you for being so honest. Honesty is my #1 quality that I pride myself in. What you see is what you get with me. I wish more people had that honesty and caring for one another. 🤗
First of all, I thought that chapel was gorgeous! I would love to get married there! Second of all, TH-cam Was the hardest thing for me to learn in my entire life! I know it seems dumb to say this, but there is so much to it! You just gotta keep plugging away and making videos! Trust me the first 20 or 30 videos of mine are horrible! in fact, the first handful I ended up deleting because I don’t ever want anybody to see those again 🤣 But I think it’s because TH-cam was so hard is why it changed my life so much for the better! It really just took a lot of me looking in on myself to figure out why people didn’t wanna watch my videos. Eventually, I learned that I just needed to open up And be authentic. The hardest part was trying to figure out who the authentic me really was! There, I just saved you three years at least 🤣 Seriously though I hope that helps. Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
Our son has that same French press for his backpacking forays. You are inspiring with all of your outdoor cooking! You aren't wrong about a lot of people faking it. That is some of why so many people are mean or unfriendly. Often I just think, wow they must really hate their life or they must be having a bad time today. Thinking about that lets me shrug off the bad vibes and not let it bring me down to their level of grumpiness. Dogs are so good at having joy in the moment, we can learn a lot from them if we just pay attention. Best wishes for true happiness.
Good luck with your journey. Sometimes every day life is hard to handle but it sure beats the alternative. For myself prayers and trying to be kind seems to be the key. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. Safe travels!
Way to share your honest truths. You started day one in a funk and turned it around by dinner when you were happy as could be. Hooray that you had so much happy mail and packages! I 100% agree about the struggle with injustices happening all around us. I consider myself a Justice Warrior, okay not like I do much but I try to help out when I can. I do wear a cape so that has to count for something lol 😂. I super loved the length of this video, it’s very relaxing to go camping *with* you. Hey I’m never sure about the ads, is it helpful if your viewers just let them play all the way through?
Yes, the Cape definitely counts for something! 🤣 Yeah, it definitely helps when the ads are played all the way through. But it’s not the end of the world if you skip them. 🤷 TH-cam likes to automatically place ads in my videos and I always have to go back in and delete a bunch of them because they have them every minute and a half half 🤣 and I know I wouldn’t want to watch it with that many commercials!
I agree. I retired from city bus driving in Portland Or.Got a truck and a Bel Air camper shell .I got it all fixed up the way I want it so I can be off grid for up to 5 to 6 days. Felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I was so happy. I'll be heading to Arizona next month, so thank you for your video. I agree with you.Less is best for me.Safe travels. God bless.
I'm glad creators like you have started to share about mental health.I understand what you are saying.I was just talking about how some people are just so unhappy in their life that they make or at least try to make everyone around them feel the same.I lost my husband 4/1 I'm trying to learn how to live again.People just don't understand.I'm working on myself and my mental health.God Bless you and Mason on your journey.
Been watching your videos for a little while. Your honesty today made me a subscriber. I feel exactly like you. The vanlifers are faking it. So are the "homeowners". Sticks and bricks or rolling homes. Happiness isn't found in your circumstances. It has to come from within. You wanna know what happiness looks like? It looks just like Mason as he is enjoying the sun and enjoying the loves sitting in your lap! Keep doing you and forget about the haters. Beef liver?!? Nothing like liver and onions. Heart is just as good! I really wish I was camping next door! Be safe and be blessed! Enjoy your journey!
You nailed it. It can be scary when you remove yourself from the matrix. Epiphonies are awsome. Happiness is a fleeting moment, you are on the road to contentment. Carry on my friend and always take the high road. Thanks for the honesty.
You have such a Fan base of people here. Your stories, your Adventures, your sharing your life, your heart is in all of it. To me ,a man is a Real man that is not ashamed to show his tender side. I watch so many videos like yours and will read some of the comments in them that I do watch, and so many people out there thank those who do these kinds of videos. Why? Because at one point or another what each one has or is going through SOMEONE out there is needing to hear something positive like what you have shared. You are a Very humble man with a warm heart. You are on a mission to find out exactly who you are, where you want to be or not be, you some what know but yet you are still looking. You know that there is more to life than what you had been living. You, Sir, are doing what you are supposed to be doing. You may think people don't care about whatever,and that is truth in what you said. But you also have those of us who do care and enjoy the content you video. Be yourself, just be who Larry is. So many people think they have to be fake and hide their real self in order to become popular. Not so. You have a Great sense of humor, you have a Great humbleness to you and as I said not many men are bold enough to "rip the band aid" off. Don't hide behind the fake society, stay strong, keep doing what you are doing as long as you can stand to do it. Be thankful for what you have, so what if others are sour and not happy with what they have or jealous of what you and Mason are doing. People are looking for that one positive person who has the right message they need to hear. We all (fans) love you and are glad you are here.
I , like you can't stand for people being fake. It gets them nowhere with me. A friend of mine is a former over the road trucker. She likes to seems tough, talks like the truckers do, but when it comes to some of the things she would tell me about some of the people and her dog. Don't think I didn't hesitate to call her out on it. She is 67 yrs old and I know she needs to have some excitement in her life or at least make it sound exciting, but it was the words she used when I would listen to her on the phone. She is retired now and I'm about her only true friend, I let her have some of the "embellishments" only because she wants to sound like she was feared by other truckers. She lives with her daughter and grandkids now and is taking collage courses, even now I call her out on some of the stuff. I tell her the same I told you, be real, be yourself and not someone else. I have more respect for those who can be themselves. Never forget you got fans that love,care and are listening to what you say and tell us. Much love as a fan your Awesome never forget that 👍👍
I believe when people speak their truth it helps others who may be going through the same thing so you are inspiring so many people who may be in the same situation you were in to make changes in their own life knowing if you can do it they can do it. Thank you for sharing it takes courage.
Larry, its ok to get in a funk. Its normal for all to get like this. I think when we all say "I'm good", we dont want others to know we're not good to avoid a conversation. I wish people could be kind and appreciative of things. Dont stay in a funk alone, we are here to listen and make you feel better. I love hearing about your life and would like to hear more about you. How about a story about your tattoos. That is only if you'd like to share. I love your videos no matter what you are up too. Give Mason a hug for me. 🥰
I LOVE your honesty. You are exactly right about the whole "I'm fine" response. I just ran into the same situation when I was asked numerous times if I had a good new year. Most people I would respond with "oh it was great!", but to those that know me it was "it was the hardest New Year I've ever had!" New Years Day, my grandmother passed away in my arms. Nobody wants to hear that as a response, so I had to fake it when I was asked how my day was or what I had done that day. "It was great. I hung out with my family that day.." quickly became the easiest answer. It is socially awkward when you don't respond the way people expect you to. So, that being said, I appreciate your honesty. Life is hard, and we shouldn't have to feel like it's not ok to say that. One thing I love is asking my loved ones, "How are you doing? No, really, how are YOU doing?" They usually open up with what's bothering them at that point. They take the time to reflect on what's going on, and that makes them appreciate the love and concern. Keep being you and keep being honest with people. There are some people that appreciate it. Btw, A&W is the best ever!
Wow thank you so much for sharing that! I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother, I couldn’t imagine 😢 That’s so awesome tho that you ask your friends and family how “They” are doing like that. I bet it really helps them to know someone really cares. Thank you for watching 🙏😊
Hey Larry, it’s great to hear your rant about realizing how important self reflection and awareness is. I love your channel and keep on ranting. Wishing you great success with your channel!
I completely understand what you’re saying about some people. Just seems like people are just so about themselves and could care less about those around them. I teach first grade at a private school and I even notice a big change in students in the past 6 years. I’m having to actually teach kids how to be kind and have manners. Anyway, just keep spreading kindness and happiness around 🎉 everywhere you go. It does plant a seed in others! Thanks for the videos they are awsome!
Real talk on a great video! Yes, I feel the exact same way. You were basically speaking what I've been thinking. I'm getting out of trucking, In converting an old ambulance to a camper. It's not that it's hard. It's just waiting for somebody to come over and help me with the electrical. Love your videos keep it up. Maybe we will cross paths one day.
I often feel like I am the only one with any manners any more too. People are wway to engrossed in themselves these days and they don't think about anyone else. Glad to know there ARE others out there still with manners!
Thank you. Thanks for not writing poetry about sun soaked rocks or rain soaked forests. Thanks for just saying what you see. Thanks for loving your dog. Thanks for the reality and gift of solitude where you can find it. If you ever see me camped, I’ll give you a wave and smile as you drive on. But I’ll be the first to help if I see you broke down on the road.
You so nailed it. I completely understand. I have felt exactly what you said. I absolutely loved this. Thanks I thought I was alone on this 😢 GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF US.THIS WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. THANKS FOR BEING YOU......
I've learned not to compare with others who on the outside look like they have it all because having it all comes at a cost somewhere down the line. I have lots of friends with nice houses, toys but that's not me at all and they can have that. Your way of life is nice and simple and there's nothing wrong with that , enjoy those moments of peace and quiet because to many out there that is something they will never have.
I just found your channel. I want to add to the conversation in a sense...I think it's great how open and honest you are about life, changes, perspectives, etc. It's refreshing. I am drawn to people who are authentic and raw even. I feel like one of our main purposes in life is to relate to each other and to show unselfish love to one another. Also...I absolutely adore your little buddy. I have 2 little guys too. I must say that you definitely lost me at liver, lol. I do love the sounds of cooking. I'm curious about how that "new" coffee tastes. Is it smoother? I drink Folgers at home too. I switch it up though between Classic, Black Silk, Breakfast Blend. I know that adding chicory and/or salt makes it smoother and less bitter. I have a possible perspective shift for you. It may not apply to your experiences but it's a strong reality that I wish wasn't a concern. Unless someone is a grey haired granny, females and kids seem to be open season for human TFKing. We have it drilled into us now to constantly be on high alert while not making eye contact, not to be "friendly", especially to males. It goes against my more southern nature but it can be difficult to find the right balance. The rule though is to err on the overly cautious side. It may upset some but its about safety. Again, I don't know if that applies to your experiences bc even in those situations, rudeness doesn't seem appropriate. Idk. We are all just trying to figure it out in environments that challenge everyone in some way. Personally, I am a Christian and can recognize it as how Scripture describes people towards the end. It's sad. It's scary. Its dangerous. Well, now that I have written you a book, lol. I hope you are having a pleasant day and staying safe. Oh...as a side note, as you mentioned about perspectives regarding happiness...Mine is that happiness is experienced in moments when we have peace in our contentment. Joy is another matter all together. ☺️👍
Thank you for the compliments 🙏 As for the coffee, it was definitely a lot stronger than Folgers! A bit on the bitter side, 🤣 but very good! That’s a very good perspective that I did not consider! Thank you Thank you so much for sharing that and for watching 🙏 😊
I went through the same process with my husband. I am 74 yo retired now and we have gone through some very serious surgeries could have lost him Three times he is a cancer survivor. We love to travel and my husband thinks he cannot do anything anymore he forgets I can do some of the things he did. He is so sweet and I want to continue traveling. I watch your videos and it makes me smile. Thank you for sharing your trips.
Thanks for sharing a bit more about yourself. I agree with you about how people are perceived to be happy and what (new car, house, vacation) makes them happy. The older we get, the more we realize what is important. When you had Mason on you lap and said he was happy and this is all he wants, nothing else. I spend a lot of time with dogs - more than with any people I know - and they teach us so much. They don’t care what you drive, how nice your car is, where the next vacation will be. They just want to be with you, safe and fed and loved. All the other stuff doesn’t matter. They know when you’re in a funk and help you get out of it. When I get to walk/run my dogs, and they get their bellies full and they lay down content - there is nothing better than seeing them content. Lots of rambling but they teach us so much about what is actually meaningful in life - dogs are the best people I know. Thanks for the video. Me safe. See you next week.
Another great video. I was a little worried with the root beer potatoes and onions but may have to give it a try. Enjoy watching you use the new gear and always learning little nuggets of gold camping tips. My theory about being happy is to have something to love (our pets qualify), something to do, and something to look forward to. If you take inventory, I think you have it covered.
OMG…you sound just like me! I live in north central Florida and same thing here! People drive like nuts and everyone seems mad..especially at the grocery store. They block the isles, never smile and don’t make eye contact! I’ve lived here most of my life and the last few years here have been awful! I wish I could just take my pup, Willie and go camping like YOU and Mason. (My Willie weighs 7 lbs and looks just like Mason!) You are truly living the GOOD LIFE!😁✌️
Great video. Thank you for sharing how much chasing the material things in life had you numb and cut off from your feelings. I’ve had it even blind me to my sense of right and wrong. I’d tell myself it was “survival of the fittest” so oh well. I love watching Mason run! He is mostly chill until he gets to run like a dog and then he is Super Dog like you said.
Hi Larry. Thank you for sharing your inner thoughts and feelings. It's so true what you said. This is the reason I've distanced myself from social media. Lots of fake going on. I'm sure you have inspired many to open up and share their feelings. It's not healthy to keep stuff bottled up. Hugs for Mason 🤗
NAILED IT!! I felt this 100% people get uncomfortable when others have the ability to be honest about their feelers. I, too, am not one for hiding my feelings with friends and family, and sadly, that has caused me to walk many paths alone. It's okay to not be okay. And I wish more youtubers/ social influencers would show a little more of the not perfect days. Especially for our youths sake. Many of them have this false belief that if your life isn't perfect you're doing it wrong.
I wish more people (influencers) would show it too! I feel like not only to the youth, but a lot of adults think the same way 🤷 Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
I'm glad that you are finding yourself and discovering what makes you happy. I'm retired, but used to work over 60 hours/week in my work life. Despite being retired for 6 years I still get job offers. Recently, I was offered a 12 hour a week job for an unbelievable salary. My old self thought, "Wow I should take this." However, the thought gave me a sense of dread, and so I thought about it. I realized that I was very happy with my retired life. It is simple, but I'm a simple person. The extra money would not objectively make me any happier, and I treasure that I now have control over my life and schedule. Instead of following the cash I followed my heart and I am so happy that I did. Keep the faith and follow your heart, it will lead you where you need to go.
I have been watching you a little bit on and off, but I have to say I just subscribed and turned on my notifications. You opened up and gave me hope that it's not too late for even me. Thanks, I will be watching you.
When you're sitting and talking to us, it literally feels like we're in person, sitting around chatting!❤
@@4fNReal- 😊 thanks! I’m glad you liked it!!
I know exactly what you mean about more and more people these days. I'm a woman in her 60's, and I'll hold the door for people and not even get any acknowledgement whatsoever, or let someone go ahead of me, no thanks for a little bit of kindness of whatever. It's sad really. But then there are so many good and sweet people out there that it makes up for it and gives you hope, you know? 😊 We can only be responsible for our own actions and keep smiling. Most people will respond to a genuine smile, so I'll keep on smiling. It sure feels better than a frown, so turn than frown upside down! Lol. Love you and your doggie and your videos are great! Keep it up, and it's refreshing to hear your down to earth stories and feelings and philosophies on life. I appreciate it!
Some people weren't raised right. Good manners are always welcome.
Mason is so cute,thank you for treating him so well.
Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. It feels good to know that we aren’t alone in how we feel. There are certain TH-cam channels, and yours is one of them, that really give others a boost in others’ daily lives. So be please remember that your channel, for how long you want to keep doing it, has a purpose for others. Social media most of the time is so negative but it’s a breathe of fresh air to have your channel. Bty, that steak looked awesome!!
Thank you so much for that 😊🙏
The thanks to all to you! I’m sure other subscribers feel the same. God bless.
I love your channel and I have to say you are 100% right people have become rude and mean these days but who knows what is going on in their lives.Stay safe and continue to enjoy life.
I appreciate all the God bless comments 'cause I believe in Christ. Thank you all.
OMG FR FR! Single mom thinkin about the RV Life, and Just here taking notes! This is CooL! Very Purposeful ThAnk yOu Enjoy Life MoRe !!
It’s very hard to be “real” today, there’s a lot of fake people who seem to be trying to make their lives something it’s not. Your very correct about society, no manners or decency in public. When’s the last time you saw a man hold a door open for a woman and if they do there’s no acknowledgement or thank you. My wife has had doors close in her face because the person just lets the door close behind them without concern there might be someone behind. Our great grandparents would be appalled.
Very heartfelt video this week. I wish more people saw how their actions affect others. I don't particularly agree with the term "fake," though. I'm typically aware of my moods and forewarn my coworkers. My mother agreed with you, though--we watch your videos as a family! 🤣 I think you can rest easy knowing you're never the only one who feels these frustrations. I hope you have a great week ahead with Mason and enjoy your time. 🥰 Oh, and I would smile and turn pink if you held the door open for me. 🤣😂
Me too.☺️
My husband and I really enjoy your channel. You and Mason make our day! You are such a special person, Larry, for being able to share your feelings like you do and making us feel like we are not alone. And, the way you treat Mason is just absolutely precious. Keep doing what you are doing because we honestly would be lost without you! Oh, BTW, not so much thanks for sharing how wonderful your liver was as now my husband is like, "I haven't had liver in a long time. Let's have some!" LOL
🤣🤣🤣
How do we find your "wish list" that you & Mason created?
I'm a tractor/trailer driver and I see and experience it personally every day. God loves you buddy, pray and ask for his help.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Please know you are not alone on this journey of finding true joy and happiness. You’re right that possessions don’t make us happy. Experiences, friendships, family, and the companionship of a great dog like Mason are the things that fill our soul. Stay safe out there. We’re all behind you and appreciate you taking us along.
Amen to that!! Thank you 🙏
I think you should call it “Campfire talks with Larry”. Love the stories and personal views of the world you have. I have to agree Brother, it’s hard to be nice to people that aren’t nice back or don’t care at all about anyone but themselves. The world has become a cold place it seems. But then every once in awhile you run into people who are experiencing the same thing and it makes you feel better.
Wow Larry, thanks for your honesty! Same boat here, lived single most of my life,tried marriage, didn’t work out. Tried a girlfriend, even worse and realized I was only happy by myself with my puppies! 😎 I was diagnosed with Leukemia a few weeks back but I’ve got it on the run towards remission so it’s all good. I’m almost 79 and have an entirely new perspective on my mortality and life in general! 😎 Enjoy life and look after your health! ❤ Btw… we had a Long Haired Chihuahua when I was a teenager named Tippy but was only about a 3rd the size of Mason. lol
Larry we love your show. Jesus is the way to true joy. An internal joy that I can't even explain. And you are right, material things mean nothing. Save up for the things you want and you will enjoy it more and appreciate it. We sold our home a year and a half ago and moved into a fifth wheel and absolutely love it. We have a truck camper for weekends and vacations. Things dont make you happy. But boy My husbamd and I love our life and God. I did it without Him and have no desire to do anything without Him ever again. Im going to pray for you. Be thankful and appreciative with the small things, and you will be happy with anything else that comes your way. I can really tell you appreciate the gifts from your followers. It is so cool!
Amen to that! Thank you 🙏
Larry, thank you. I'm starting up my camping channel this year. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time. I've been struggling with depression for a long time as well. I'm 30 years old. I really needed this video today. I think this was the push i needed to start making the moves i want and to start putting myself and happiness first. I appreciate you always being real and thanks for sharing this. It meant a lot to me today.
What a beautiful comment. Thanks for sharing ❤
Wow, thank you so much for sharing that! I’m so excited for you! Let me know what the channel is and I’ll check it out when you start it! 😊🙏🤙
I’m not on YT, but watch a lot. My best advice is, be yourself. Get comfortable in front of the camera. Don’t pretend to be anything you’re not. Authenticity will get you far.✌🏻💕
@@worklessenjoylifemore Thanks man i really appreciate that.. I Dropped my first video on this channel, looking forward to more!
I feel the same way as you. I am surrounded by the Fakers. As you have Mason, I have Bailey. My dog is my camping partner. I worked my whole life nonstop. 17-38 US Army. 38 to 60 worked nonstop and was not happy just surviving. At 60, I had enough. The last 2 yrs have been awesome. Life is short, and we have no time for the bs projected by others. I enjoy your content. Hi Mason.
That’s so awesome to hear you’re enjoying life right now! Thanks for sharing that 🙏
You are 100% right about rude people these days . Also about people being fake . For me ,everything you have said in this video is true about people these days .This is why I like to go out camping in more remote places . Being in nature is my happy place . Thanks for the great video Larry . Mason is so cute .
Same here amen to that!! 😆
This is an amazing video. Raw honesty is becoming a lost thing. One of the points you made about people being surprised when you said how you honestly felt stuck with me. When I ask someone how they are I am prepared for a conversation. I think more folks should care. Love watching the outdoors by the way.. A goal I am working towards being out in more for myself. Kudos my friend!
Even the most positive people get in a funk sometimes. Life can be hard and we all need to give ourselves some grace to have a bad day once in awhile. They key is not to stay there! You’re doing great with the videos and I always enjoy the set up. Always simple but charming and comfortable looking. 😊well done!
Thank you, 🙏 😊
Exactly right!
It may be cloudy, but the sun always shines again. Quote by my Dad.
My Mom always told me that too@@kat.b.3556
You need rain to see a rainbow! Keep looking for the rainbow, it's there!
I use to joke with my husband (his names Larry too) you could cook a cat turd in bacon grease and it would taste good. LOL but now I can say the same for liver. I think you got a case of the winter blues! Everyone is looking for happiness and it's different for each and every being! I hope you find yours! Good to hear you laughing with Mason.😅 He knows you need him and he needs you! Dogs are very healing for what ales ya.
Not sure I would try a cat turd and bacon grease but it sure works great for liver 🤣
Cats are healing, too.🐈💕 Mine just turned 20!!! (Just don’t eat their turds!🤣)
@@joellepatry493 Most animals ARE good for us humans!
You're making a lot of sense and don't ever think that you are wasting your time talking about it. There are a lot of people out there that are dealing with the same issue as you you are helping more people than you know 😊
I love your openness and willingness to share your experiences. Everyone's journey is their own, but it's ok to ask for help along the way. Being open to help, being honest in our feelings, and genuinely caring for and about others all contribute to our long term happiness. I wish more people recognized that.
I also love the 'smile' Mason had when he was sitting on your lap in the sunshine. He's a happy dog in that moment.
Thank you thank you thank you! Once again, you absolutely nailed it. Your entire monologue about giving it all up, falling into depression and “keeping up with the Joneses” is EXACTLY what I’ve been going through for the last couple of years.
Your channel should be titled “you are not alone” lol
I so much appreciate your transparency and honesty. You have not idea how much it’s helping folks like myself.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing that 🙏 that just made my night 😊
I wish you the best on your journeys moving forward! It gets rough at times but it’s definitely worth it 🤙
@@worklessenjoylifemore thanks brother. Keep doing what you’re doing! You’re a huge help and inspiration to many more people than you know.
Speaking truth is one of the best ways to help humanity right now. And that’s what you do my friend. 🫡
I love liver, bacon and onions, with brussel sprouts and baked potato 😊 One of my favorite meals 😋
I feel the same way about being out and about with the public. No one seems to be happy anymore and if you ask they say something to kill the conversation. I decided not to allow anyone take my joy away anymore. Stay safe and I enjoy seeing your videos.
I just wanted to say, I loved it when you were running with Mason. He was so cute when he was racing you to the camp and he was jumping over the trenches. I was laughing and really enjoying watching him. He is really an adorable dog. Take care and be safe.
😊 thank you
I love watching your videos! I sold my house in 2020 and bought a 16x32 shed. My son and daughter-in-law finished out the inside for me. I love it and was one of the best decisions I ever made. Keep doing what you do because we all love watching. God Bless!
Well, I think it’s a mindset. Even though you’re not happy at the moment you can always find something positive to lift you up. It’s a rough time these days for a lot of us. Hope for the best. Keep pushing forward. God Bless you and yours. By the way, you’re doing better than others. Love the channel
Thank you for sharing your story. I have finally found my own happiness at age 62. . I enjoy your videos because you are so down to earth and enjoy the great outdoors. Found your channel thru Kenny of all Trades.
You’re describing things perfectly. I’m currently trying to cut back on debt and payments and move towards a more simple and happier life moving forward. Trying to stop focusing on things and focus more on mental health and experiences. This became one of my favorite videos of yours because of the serious and important conversation. You seem to be one of the more real TH-camrs.
Yesterday walking my dog a woman jogged by and I said hello with a smile. I got a grimace in return. Not uncommon. Keep on being kind. There's enough of us out there. Thanks for your honesty ❤
I love how you just keep it real. Choose happy 😊
Watching your channel inspires me to keep going on my channel. Also I thank you for your advice. Also you talk to people as a genuine person. Maybe some don't agree but that's life.
The trick with TH-cam is to just keep plugging away! I wanted to quit probably four or five hundred times 🤣 but luckily I had Kenny from Kenny Of All Trades to talk to, and we would call each other on the phone and talk each other off the ledge of wanting to quit our channels 🤣 TH-cam knows how to make you feel worthless at times. But then all of a sudden it just starts taking off 🤷
Good luck moving forward, thank you for watching. 🙏
Thank you for your advice, I do get depressed about my channels growth. But your advice keeps me going. Also I love your videos, Thank You.@@worklessenjoylifemore
Thanks for making this video, it means allot to come across actually. I'm 26 and holy moly it's been a ride. Moved to Colorado about 4 years ago, met a girl, even bought a truck with money I didn't have, Went back and forth and got into campers. The final time I went back I had a 94 Lance slide in that I was living out of, went back to her, felt great FOR A COUPLE months, sold it, then I remembered why we didn't work together. Just like you said, I had everything I ever thought I ever wanted and the most Mayberry life anyone could ever ask for, but I still wasn't happy. Finally stopped chasing her, moved back into the back of my truck, and I started learning Whitewater kayaking, was mountain bike riding and working at the same time. Doing THAT gave me everything I've ever wanted since a child and I'm going to chase it as long as I can. I'm in Tucson right now fixing up a side entry,I hope I see ya around!
Hi Larry & Mason! Great video! Mason is such a good boy!❤️ Thank you for sharing your story and journey with us! Your cooking and talking with us is inspiring and relaxing! Take care and stay safe!❤️🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼❤️🐶❤️
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you Larry, and Mason for yet again another great video. I know and can relate to so much of what you shared. I grew up not worrying about money, so I didn't know how to truly appreciate what it can do for me. I know all too well about living a fake life. When my mother died unexpectedly in 1989, I was only 18 and had just graduated high school. That sent me into, well a life I wish on nobody else until June of 2017. I then spent an intense 2 years of my life finding..me! I've had so much in my life, that I can honestly say I was miserable. I am now the proud owner of a 2015 Jeep Patriot that I use to tow my little DIY 4x8 teardrop camper. I can also put everything I own these days in my vehicle, camper, and my rooftop cargo box. And I've never been happier! I have a very small group of people in my life that I've had the privilege to call family for the last 30 years. I think I might start rambling my thoughts now, so on that note..your videos bring happiness to so many. Thank you...Can't wait to try the root beer potatoes! And yes dryer lint is awesome for startng fires. My family collects it for me, along with all the paper towel/toilet paper rolls. The can also be used in so many ways as fire starters as well. Plus let's in the land fills polluting the planet.
Thank you so much for sharing that 🙏 it’s crazy how we can live a huge chunk of our lives and not realize how wrong we were 🤣 and then once you see the light, there’s no way to go back!! it sounds like to me you found true happiness and it sounds like you have a really good life! 😊
@worklessenjoylifemore it's funny how much happier I am now with less, than I ever was when I had more.
It takes a real man to be so transparent with his thoughts. Thank you. I loved the video when you and Mason are running and playing together.
Keep up that gorgeous smile! I suffer from deep depression and your thoughts and feelings help me.
I had chemo today and it was rough. Please keep up the prayers for me. Love, Tracy❤
Thank you so much for that 😊, I’m so glad to hear the videos help you!!
I’m sending prayers your way right now 🙏😊
Thanks for the prayers. Keep 😊
@@worklessenjoylifemore So am I. Lee Anne
Whereas I think it’s cool to slice the wood to make strands for easier lighting of campfires, the easiest method I’ve found is to swipe a cotton ball into petroleum jelly and light it while it’s placed under some wood.
It has a decent burn time which gives the right amount of time for dry wood to ignite.
You are spot on about people being in a bad mood I think people have changed for the worse since covid it made people change toward each other no one has any manners or concern for other people but all I have to do is watch good people like you and mason and it changes my mood for the better keep doing what you do it gives me faith in humans . there are some good people in this world
I absolutely love your attitude and outlooks on life and people!!! I think we have similar personalities...😂❤
Thanks for the video. Keep em coming. I personally don't think I fake my emotions I just tend to hide my pain. I feel like it's my burden to bear and nobody really cares anyway. I commented because I wanted you to know that your video's are helping me through a pretty rough patch and I don't think I'm the only one that feels this way.
You know, I feel the same way, sometimes about people not caring about what goes on in my life. It’s really hard to find a good friend that will truly listen! I don’t like to talk about religion in my videos, and I definitely don’t like to push it on people but for me, it helped when I finally gave in and started believing and a higher power. 🤷
I hope whatever it is that you’re going through gets easier. I’ll be sending prayers your way, if that’s OK? 🙏
Feels good to know I am not alone. Often times I feel that way because everyone just chucks on a smile and ignores themselves
Yeah it’s hard out there with the way people act! I hope things turn around one day before it gets worse. Thanks so much for watching and you definitely aren’t alone 🤙
this has to be one of your best videos..... you are admitting what most of us cant ..... ty so much for your honesty :)
Larry, Thank you for putting yourself out here for us to share in your journeys with you!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching 🙏😊
Thank you for sharing. My husband and I are in our 60's and we share the same feelings as you. No one is nice anymore. We thought about hitting the road next year when my husband retires get a van or SUV selling our house and just live. You are not alone and now we know we aren't either. We live in a cold hearted world. We have a neighbor that is always causing problems to the point we end up having to call the police on him. All we want to do is live in peace, our house is old but it's home, for now. Thank you again for sharing this video about your life. God bless you and give you a long and healthy life🙏🏻💞🙏🏻
Oh, I hope you guys follow your dream and get a van or SUV! Especially with your current neighbors. I used to have neighbors like that too and it’s so hard because you don’t wanna leave but it’s hard to relax with them right next-door.
Thank you so much for watching 🙏
Thank you for sharing and little Mason is absolutely adorable. ❤🐾
You're so correct. The world is getting very sad. Thanks for sharing your feelings. We are all a work in progress. I've been through a lot also, and it's nice to hear that we can overcome all the shit handed to us. Keep up the great work. I will be watching and enjoying your videos.
Yesterday walking my dog a woman jogged by and I said hello with a smile. I got a grimace in return. Not uncommon and it hurts my feelings but I told myself I will continue to smile and be kind. Thank you for sharing your story. Saving for my camper to start my life in the woods. Love Mason watching you eat ❤
WLEL-
I appreciated this video more than you know. I spent my entire childhood, adolescence, and teenage years deeply depressed and very emotionally dysfunctional.
When I got into my late twenties I started seeing a counselor about the depression I had and found out a number of things beginning with the fact that I was very codependent. Abstaining from relationships and working on myself was a difficult process to begin, but once I started and began learning more about myself and the emotional mechanisms that seemed to derail my life and relationships the more I understood how to straighten those out.
The immense relief I felt being able to exert control over my emotional state and deal with depression when it arose made me seek out more and more podcasts, reading material, and self-help approaches.
Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist, once quoted Carl Jung saying that "the best substitute for Psychotherapy was honest moral effort". Once you begin the process and become familiar with it, it is an evolving process for the rest of your life and climbing out of that pit of depression is the best feeling of all!
@@SouthSideChiTown thank you so much for sharing that 😊 🙏
Love love your channel!! ❤❤❤
had a pop up pick up camper when I was 20, AND a super cool white chihuahua, Dottie.. she was almost 17, lost her right before I sold the house n hit the road.. she LOVED camping and had a real sweet mellow personality like Mason ❤
You are SOOOO on the right track:) Blessings! ☀️😊
The desert is full of stuff that will bite, sting, poke, or kill you. I’ve been living in Arizona all my life, my favorite is the Forrest or mountain. Flagstaff, the Rim country, Show Low.
I love this. Mental health awareness and self care
Brother it's what most people don't want to hear but you are 100% right. The two words I've said more than any others in response to inquiries in my 56 years on this planet was.........IM FINE. It took me 50+ years to realize, it's OK to not be fine, and it's even more ok to make yourself vulnerable and let people know.......I'm not ok right now. That doesn't have to translate to someone being in a life or death situation as far as the gravity of them not being ok.
Thank you. You are not the only one that has gone thru this and your not alone. After time you will realize you don't need anyone or anything to make you happy. Your in control of it all. It sounds like your understanding that. That is the first step to fully powering your life. Set goals and follow thru that's where the power is. Every goal you accomplish will show you your in charge of your own happiness. I wish you a great happy journey.
I just discovered you on youtube a few months ago and you have me always looking forward to the next video. I love seeing Mason he is so sweet. Keep safe out there, and don't stop doing what you love .
There's three of us left!! I'll say the point of the video was TRUTH.... oh my goodness, you hit it all right on the nose, my friend. Rick and I have many conversations about the same challenges. It was unbelievable to hear your words, felt like you've been with us in our conversations. Yes, people at this time in society are more rude, uncaring, self centered, greety...etc...etc. It's a "me me" world. There, I said it, sad but true. I agree, it's ok to not like that behavior, cuz it doesn't have to be. We have hearts that try to right the wrong...and that's ok too😊. Stay committed Larry. You know where your rewards will come from.
Love seeing you wear the beanie! I choose that color to match your jacket, great look! Thx for the "shout-out!" You've received lots of fun gifts. Yes, there are still lots of good-hearted people out there. Take care, asta pronto (until then)❤
Thank you, 🙏
Larry, it's the way of the world. The younger generation thinks that the world owes them. I am 72 yrs of age and live in Maine. I see it every day. I hold the door for the younger people and they walk right by and do not say a word. Sometimes I will respond with a thank you and just shake my head. Keep doing what you're doing. Your reward isn't here on earth but in heaven. LOL
Hey Larry,thank you so much for your lovely videos,they really are uplifting and cheer me up when life is tough. Life can be hard and folk are definitely turning more rude,entitled and mean but I believe it is because they are unhappy in their lives. I have felt at times since I moved to the States from England down and depressed as there have been numerous people where I live,complete strangers out at just the grocery store,come up and threaten me and insult me just because I have an English accent,I was even attacked back in 2021 in Kroger carpark because a woman hated the English so she had heard me talking at the checkout, followed me to my car and punched me in the face. Folk can be cruel but I know now that they are the problem not me. As long as I have my three dogs,I am happy!❤ Look forward to your next video and love to little Mason,he is such a character!❤🐾
Holy moly! That’s horrendous. I’m so sorry someone did that to you. I hope you’re ok. Btw, I adore an English accent.✌🏻💕
Larry- I have enjoyed watching your episodes for a few months. Your most recent one is my favorite. Thanks for putting yourself out there. You're a good human and you speak the truth. -Hersch
Okay so I have to make a second comment being that I was not expecting the amazing turn your video took and I just want to say I really appreciate it, once you sat down I was humbled by your story and impressed that you so easily shared it with us. I want to thank you sincerely for sharing your perspectives on emotional and mental health and that it's important that we check in with ourselves to make sure we're alright and that we have options to make the adjustments needed to get out of drowning in our own misery. In fact, I am so pleased to hear someone talk about the depth of their experience and feelings about these life circumstances, I am so bored that even some old friends or coworkers can't/won't reach these depths anymore and is probably why I keep to myself so much as I'd rather have quality of time with somebody than quantity. Again, I just really appreciate this video and consider myself lucky to have landed on this one. Okay, I promise, no more comments today!
Hi Larry
The journey you are on is an awakening of your consciousness and awareness there is more to life than the average person seems to think. That is so awesome and will make your life better then you imagined possible!
So happy for you. Keep on the path to finding your true self. Am immensely enjoying your journey. Bless you.
Well spoken and I am glad it was said. This hit home and I feel some of these same things as I get older. Life is short and I wish I could go back and do some things over although I do believe everything happens for a reason. Thanks for having the courage to speak up.
Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed the package, I hope Mason enjoys the toy. 😊. You are so right, take what you learn day by day and apply it to the future. Everyday is a learning experience. It has taken me a long time to get to the point I am at now, and even though I have my days I really try to put good out there in hopes to get it back. Blessed to still be here and grateful for everything I have been through, good and bad. Stay honest and keep up the great videos!
Yes! Thank you! 🙏
Love your Honesty! If a person is dealing with depression the Only thing they should ever be ashamed of is not acknowledging it, accepting it, and dealing with it? Faking it will get them know where?
We have to be Honest with ourselves about our lives to ever find True Happiness!!
Keep On, keepen on Larry!!
I appreciate you sharing, so honestly. Sharing your life experiences with others is a courageous and compassionte thing to do. It opens doors for others to share their experiences, which helps us help each other. Some folks are ok skimming the top and staying shallow in sharing, other types of folks prefer the deeper end of conversation. I find the deeper conversations...more thought provoking... and more likely to teach me more. Keep doing you wholeheartedly.
Wow! This video really hit home with me. I’m going through such a tough time and life changing things and everything you said on your video is true, so very true. I was hoping TH-cam would help my situation but it hasn’t. I think my channel just isn’t good enough. It so hard for me because I’m an Empath and can really feel all the negativity from people so deeply. At least your getting better and your TH-cam channel has really picked up. I think you need someone to help you like Kenny Of All Trades did for you. I’m so very glad your happier and I’ll keep working on me Have a great week and thank you for being so honest. Honesty is my #1 quality that I pride myself in. What you see is what you get with me. I wish more people had that honesty and caring for one another. 🤗
First of all, I thought that chapel was gorgeous! I would love to get married there! Second of all, TH-cam Was the hardest thing for me to learn in my entire life! I know it seems dumb to say this, but there is so much to it! You just gotta keep plugging away and making videos! Trust me the first 20 or 30 videos of mine are horrible! in fact, the first handful I ended up deleting because I don’t ever want anybody to see those again 🤣
But I think it’s because TH-cam was so hard is why it changed my life so much for the better! It really just took a lot of me looking in on myself to figure out why people didn’t wanna watch my videos. Eventually, I learned that I just needed to open up And be authentic. The hardest part was trying to figure out who the authentic me really was! There, I just saved you three years at least 🤣
Seriously though I hope that helps. Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
What’s your channel? I’ll check it out, but please do yourself a favor, & don’t be shy about self-promotion!✌🏻💕
Love what you said which is true, Being happy has nothing to do with what you own
Our son has that same French press for his backpacking forays. You are inspiring with all of your outdoor cooking! You aren't wrong about a lot of people faking it. That is some of why so many people are mean or unfriendly. Often I just think, wow they must really hate their life or they must be having a bad time today. Thinking about that lets me shrug off the bad vibes and not let it bring me down to their level of grumpiness. Dogs are so good at having joy in the moment, we can learn a lot from them if we just pay attention. Best wishes for true happiness.
Thank you so much for sharing that 🙏🙂
Thanks for being so honest- I don’t feel so bad about how I feel
Brother,you ain't alone in the thinking and acting. Just hold the fort and keep being better than 'them'. Cheers from Vancouver Island.
Good luck with your journey. Sometimes every day life is hard to handle but it sure beats the alternative. For myself prayers and trying to be kind seems to be the key. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey.
Safe travels!
Way to share your honest truths. You started day one in a funk and turned it around by dinner when you were happy as could be. Hooray that you had so much happy mail and packages! I 100% agree about the struggle with injustices happening all around us. I consider myself a Justice Warrior, okay not like I do much but I try to help out when I can. I do wear a cape so that has to count for something lol 😂. I super loved the length of this video, it’s very relaxing to go camping *with* you. Hey I’m never sure about the ads, is it helpful if your viewers just let them play all the way through?
Yes, the Cape definitely counts for something! 🤣
Yeah, it definitely helps when the ads are played all the way through. But it’s not the end of the world if you skip them. 🤷
TH-cam likes to automatically place ads in my videos and I always have to go back in and delete a bunch of them because they have them every minute and a half half 🤣 and I know I wouldn’t want to watch it with that many commercials!
Dinner Looked Great ! Going to try the root Beer.. Ty … Mason is adorable 🐾🐾🐾❤
I agree. I retired from city bus driving in Portland Or.Got a truck and a Bel Air camper shell .I got it all fixed up the way I want it so I can be off grid for up to 5 to 6 days. Felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I was so happy. I'll be heading to Arizona next month, so thank you for your video. I agree with you.Less is best for me.Safe travels. God bless.
I'm glad creators like you have started to share about mental health.I understand what you are saying.I was just talking about how some people are just so unhappy in their life that they make or at least try to make everyone around them feel the same.I lost my husband 4/1 I'm trying to learn how to live again.People just don't understand.I'm working on myself and my mental health.God Bless you and Mason on your journey.
I’m sorry for your loss.✌🏻💕🙏🏻
Been watching your videos for a little while. Your honesty today made me a subscriber. I feel exactly like you. The vanlifers are faking it. So are the "homeowners". Sticks and bricks or rolling homes. Happiness isn't found in your circumstances. It has to come from within. You wanna know what happiness looks like? It looks just like Mason as he is enjoying the sun and enjoying the loves sitting in your lap! Keep doing you and forget about the haters. Beef liver?!? Nothing like liver and onions. Heart is just as good! I really wish I was camping next door! Be safe and be blessed! Enjoy your journey!
Thanks for subbing!! 🙏
You nailed it. It can be scary when you remove yourself from the matrix. Epiphonies are awsome. Happiness is a fleeting moment, you are on the road to contentment. Carry on my friend and always take the high road. Thanks for the honesty.
Yes! Thank you! 🙏
You have such a Fan base of people here. Your stories, your Adventures, your sharing your life, your heart is in all of it. To me ,a man is a Real man that is not ashamed to show his tender side. I watch so many videos like yours and will read some of the comments in them that I do watch, and so many people out there thank those who do these kinds of videos. Why? Because at one point or another what each one has or is going through SOMEONE out there is needing to hear something positive like what you have shared. You are a Very humble man with a warm heart. You are on a mission to find out exactly who you are, where you want to be or not be, you some what know but yet you are still looking. You know that there is more to life than what you had been living. You, Sir, are doing what you are supposed to be doing. You may think people don't care about whatever,and that is truth in what you said. But you also have those of us who do care and enjoy the content you video. Be yourself, just be who Larry is. So many people think they have to be fake and hide their real self in order to become popular. Not so. You have a Great sense of humor, you have a Great humbleness to you and as I said not many men are bold enough to "rip the band aid" off. Don't hide behind the fake society, stay strong, keep doing what you are doing as long as you can stand to do it. Be thankful for what you have, so what if others are sour and not happy with what they have or jealous of what you and Mason are doing. People are looking for that one positive person who has the right message they need to hear. We all (fans) love you and are glad you are here.
Thank you so much for sharing that! I really enjoyed reading it 😊 your comment made my night 🙏
I , like you can't stand for people being fake. It gets them nowhere with me. A friend of mine is a former over the road trucker. She likes to seems tough, talks like the truckers do, but when it comes to some of the things she would tell me about some of the people and her dog. Don't think I didn't hesitate to call her out on it. She is 67 yrs old and I know she needs to have some excitement in her life or at least make it sound exciting, but it was the words she used when I would listen to her on the phone. She is retired now and I'm about her only true friend, I let her have some of the "embellishments" only because she wants to sound like she was feared by other truckers. She lives with her daughter and grandkids now and is taking collage courses, even now I call her out on some of the stuff. I tell her the same I told you, be real, be yourself and not someone else. I have more respect for those who can be themselves. Never forget you got fans that love,care and are listening to what you say and tell us. Much love as a fan your Awesome never forget that 👍👍
I believe when people speak their truth it helps others who may be going through the same thing so you are inspiring so many people who may be in the same situation you were in to make changes in their own life knowing if you can do it they can do it. Thank you for sharing it takes courage.
Larry, its ok to get in a funk. Its normal for all to get like this. I think when we all say "I'm good", we dont want others to know we're not good to avoid a conversation. I wish people could be kind and appreciative of things.
Dont stay in a funk alone, we are here to listen and make you feel better. I love hearing about your life and would like to hear more about you. How about a story about your tattoos. That is only if you'd like to share. I love your videos no matter what you are up too. Give Mason a hug for me. 🥰
I LOVE your honesty. You are exactly right about the whole "I'm fine" response. I just ran into the same situation when I was asked numerous times if I had a good new year. Most people I would respond with "oh it was great!", but to those that know me it was "it was the hardest New Year I've ever had!" New Years Day, my grandmother passed away in my arms. Nobody wants to hear that as a response, so I had to fake it when I was asked how my day was or what I had done that day. "It was great. I hung out with my family that day.." quickly became the easiest answer. It is socially awkward when you don't respond the way people expect you to. So, that being said, I appreciate your honesty. Life is hard, and we shouldn't have to feel like it's not ok to say that. One thing I love is asking my loved ones, "How are you doing? No, really, how are YOU doing?" They usually open up with what's bothering them at that point. They take the time to reflect on what's going on, and that makes them appreciate the love and concern. Keep being you and keep being honest with people. There are some people that appreciate it. Btw, A&W is the best ever!
Wow thank you so much for sharing that! I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother, I couldn’t imagine 😢
That’s so awesome tho that you ask your friends and family how “They” are doing like that. I bet it really helps them to know someone really cares.
Thank you for watching 🙏😊
Being happy is about living your life in gratitude. Sending Light and Love ❤
Totally agree, thank you 🙏 😊
Hey Larry, it’s great to hear your rant about realizing how important self reflection and awareness is. I love your channel and keep on ranting. Wishing you great success with your channel!
I completely understand what you’re saying about some people. Just seems like people are just so about themselves and could care less about those around them.
I teach first grade at a private school and I even notice a big change in students in the past 6 years. I’m having to actually teach kids how to be kind and have manners. Anyway, just keep spreading kindness and happiness around 🎉 everywhere you go. It does plant a seed in others! Thanks for the videos they are awsome!
Real talk on a great video! Yes, I feel the exact same way. You were basically speaking what I've been thinking. I'm getting out of trucking, In converting an old ambulance to a camper. It's not that it's hard. It's just waiting for somebody to come over and help me with the electrical. Love your videos keep it up. Maybe we will cross paths one day.
Hopefully I see you down the road one day Thank you for sharing that. 🙏
I appreciate you taking the time to touch on this subject. Seriously.
I often feel like I am the only one with any manners any more too. People are wway to engrossed in themselves these days and they don't think about anyone else. Glad to know there ARE others out there still with manners!
Thank you.
Thanks for not writing poetry about sun soaked rocks or rain soaked forests.
Thanks for just saying what you see.
Thanks for loving your dog.
Thanks for the reality and gift of solitude where you can find it.
If you ever see me camped, I’ll give you a wave and smile as you drive on. But I’ll be the first to help if I see you broke down on the road.
You so nailed it. I completely understand. I have felt exactly what you said. I absolutely loved this. Thanks I thought I was alone on this 😢 GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF US.THIS WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED. THANKS FOR BEING YOU......
You are so welcome 🙏 😊
I've learned not to compare with others who on the outside look like they have it all because having it all comes at a cost somewhere down the line. I have lots of friends with nice houses, toys but that's not me at all and they can have that. Your way of life is nice and simple and there's nothing wrong with that , enjoy those moments of peace and quiet because to many out there that is something they will never have.
I just found your channel. I want to add to the conversation in a sense...I think it's great how open and honest you are about life, changes, perspectives, etc. It's refreshing. I am drawn to people who are authentic and raw even. I feel like one of our main purposes in life is to relate to each other and to show unselfish love to one another.
Also...I absolutely adore your little buddy. I have 2 little guys too. I must say that you definitely lost me at liver, lol. I do love the sounds of cooking. I'm curious about how that "new" coffee tastes. Is it smoother? I drink Folgers at home too. I switch it up though between Classic, Black Silk, Breakfast Blend. I know that adding chicory and/or salt makes it smoother and less bitter.
I have a possible perspective shift for you. It may not apply to your experiences but it's a strong reality that I wish wasn't a concern. Unless someone is a grey haired granny, females and kids seem to be open season for human TFKing. We have it drilled into us now to constantly be on high alert while not making eye contact, not to be "friendly", especially to males. It goes against my more southern nature but it can be difficult to find the right balance. The rule though is to err on the overly cautious side. It may upset some but its about safety. Again, I don't know if that applies to your experiences bc even in those situations, rudeness doesn't seem appropriate. Idk.
We are all just trying to figure it out in environments that challenge everyone in some way. Personally, I am a Christian and can recognize it as how Scripture describes people towards the end. It's sad. It's scary. Its dangerous. Well, now that I have written you a book, lol. I hope you are having a pleasant day and staying safe.
Oh...as a side note, as you mentioned about perspectives regarding happiness...Mine is that happiness is experienced in moments when we have peace in our contentment. Joy is another matter all together. ☺️👍
Thank you for the compliments 🙏
As for the coffee, it was definitely a lot stronger than Folgers! A bit on the bitter side, 🤣 but very good!
That’s a very good perspective that I did not consider! Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing that and for watching 🙏 😊
I went through the same process with my husband. I am 74 yo retired now and we have gone through some very serious surgeries could have lost him Three times he is a cancer survivor. We love to travel and my husband thinks he cannot do anything anymore he forgets I can do some of the things he did. He is so sweet and I want to continue traveling.
I watch your videos and it makes me smile. Thank you for sharing your trips.
Thanks for sharing a bit more about yourself. I agree with you about how people are perceived to be happy and what (new car, house, vacation) makes them happy. The older we get, the more we realize what is important. When you had Mason on you lap and said he was happy and this is all he wants, nothing else. I spend a lot of time with dogs - more than with any people I know - and they teach us so much. They don’t care what you drive, how nice your car is, where the next vacation will be. They just want to be with you, safe and fed and loved. All the other stuff doesn’t matter. They know when you’re in a funk and help you get out of it. When I get to walk/run my dogs, and they get their bellies full and they lay down content - there is nothing better than seeing them content. Lots of rambling but they teach us so much about what is actually meaningful in life - dogs are the best people I know. Thanks for the video. Me safe. See you next week.
Amen to that 🙏 thank you for sharing 😊
Another great video. I was a little worried with the root beer potatoes and onions but may have to give it a try.
Enjoy watching you use the new gear and always learning little nuggets of gold camping tips.
My theory about being happy is to have something to love (our pets qualify), something to do, and something to look forward to. If you take inventory, I think you have it covered.
I really like that thank you 🙏 😊
OMG…you sound just like me! I live in north central Florida and same thing here! People drive like nuts and everyone seems mad..especially at the grocery store. They block the isles, never smile and don’t make eye contact! I’ve lived here most of my life and the last few years here have been awful! I wish I could just take my pup, Willie and go camping like YOU and Mason. (My Willie weighs 7 lbs and looks just like Mason!) You are truly living the GOOD LIFE!😁✌️
I love you Larry. You are so down to earth and just seem like a great guy. Thanks for being so honest in your videos.
Thanks 🙏 😁
Great video. Thank you for sharing how much chasing the material things in life had you numb and cut off from your feelings. I’ve had it even blind me to my sense of right and wrong. I’d tell myself it was “survival of the fittest” so oh well. I love watching Mason run! He is mostly chill until he gets to run like a dog and then he is Super Dog like you said.
Thank you for that. 🙏
Yeah, Mason just loves to run like that! 😀 it just makes me laugh seeing how much fun he has.
Thank you for watching 🙏 😊
Hi Larry. Thank you for sharing your inner thoughts and feelings. It's so true what you said. This is the reason I've distanced myself from social media. Lots of fake going on. I'm sure you have inspired many to open up and share their feelings. It's not healthy to keep stuff bottled up. Hugs for Mason 🤗
Well, I hope it inspired some people. I know it’s pissed some people off but I figured they’re probably the type of people I’m talking about 🤣
make sure you don't let the battery go dead. I did and had to replace it. I run the generator every so often or use a cheap battery tender
NAILED IT!! I felt this 100% people get uncomfortable when others have the ability to be honest about their feelers. I, too, am not one for hiding my feelings with friends and family, and sadly, that has caused me to walk many paths alone. It's okay to not be okay. And I wish more youtubers/ social influencers would show a little more of the not perfect days. Especially for our youths sake. Many of them have this false belief that if your life isn't perfect you're doing it wrong.
I wish more people (influencers) would show it too! I feel like not only to the youth, but a lot of adults think the same way 🤷
Thank you so much for watching. 🙏
I'm glad that you are finding yourself and discovering what makes you happy. I'm retired, but used to work over 60 hours/week in my work life. Despite being retired for 6 years I still get job offers. Recently, I was offered a 12 hour a week job for an unbelievable salary. My old self thought, "Wow I should take this." However, the thought gave me a sense of dread, and so I thought about it. I realized that I was very happy with my retired life. It is simple, but I'm a simple person. The extra money would not objectively make me any happier, and I treasure that I now have control over my life and schedule. Instead of following the cash I followed my heart and I am so happy that I did. Keep the faith and follow your heart, it will lead you where you need to go.
I have been watching you a little bit on and off, but I have to say I just subscribed and turned on my notifications. You opened up and gave me hope that it's not too late for even me. Thanks, I will be watching you.
Awesome! Thank you! 🙏
