    Back in the mid 70's when I escaped from my marriage, I moved into a cheap unfurnished apartment, with basically clothes, a 4-year-old in tow and little money. A couple of weeks later, the lady who lived upstairs came down and told me she had given custody of her 2 kids to her ex, was moving in with someone, and if I would clean up her place, I could have everything in her apartment, including the furniture. I spent that week (after work and the weekend), cleaning and hauling furniture and other necessities down the stairs, with the help of a friend. That is still the greatest gift I have ever received. I doubt there are many people out there who have never had to start over at some point in their lives. I wish you the best in your new journey.

    Just a thing I’ve observed from other creators who have become publicly single: you might want to figure out and state your boundaries about people flirting/commenting on your attractiveness in this forum. It’s not intuitive, and it’s possible for people who are trying to pay a free compliment or make your day nicer instead make you feel threatened or objectified. I’m sure you’ve already had some kind of experience with this, but becoming single when you’ve got enthusiastic fans can get weird, so try to communicate your boundaries as you go so you can at least tell who’s ignoring your stated comfort zone and who’s being unintentionally too much.

    I never comment on your videos but this really resonated with me. I broke up with my partner of many years because I saw our futures were no longer compatible and we couldn’t come to a compromise. I basically left with nothing. Before I had moved in with him I had a whole bunch of things that I had “inherited” from family, old friends, and old roommates. And the basics really start to add up. A trash can, a frying pan, silverware, toilet paper, a shower curtain, bowls, a couch, you get the picture. I was dead broke and lived in a 200 sq ft apartment and slept on a twin mattress on the floor.
    It took me a long time before I got to the point where I started to feel okay. Some people think that if you’re the one to end things you shouldn’t be allowed to be in pain or grieve the relationship. But I did. It’s never easy or painless to walk away from a life you built with someone with the full intention of lasting forever.
    I know your situation is different but I hope you’re doing better now. Thank you for your videos; they motivate my autistic ass to clean and pull my shit together. And thanks for talking about this.

      I wish I could share this message with everyone. I see some of my friends who leave abusive relationships struggling because other people think that because the relationship hurt and they ended it for their own good, they shouldn't feel pain or grief. And it makes everything so much harder for them at a time when they need the support and love the most.

    Man this s*** needed to come with a trigger warning for me. A little over 3 years ago I lost the place I called home after an arrest. My then wife and daughter had to make the right choice and move out so we could sell the home. I then spent the following months crashing at my moms home if she felt like tolerating me that day, sleeping in my car in February in Wisconsin, being forced to live in a temporary living facility with some pretty tough criminals that had done major jail and prison time. I can't describe the emotions I had when I checked into that place and the caretaker had to legally ask "if someone tries to rape you, do you think you can fight them off?" Not a single appartment would accept me because of my arrest. I literally had to resort to buying a home without even looking at it just so I stay somewhat close ( 2 hours) to my little girl and try to be a father the best I can given the distance. The first time I saw my new residence was the day of closing. I cried, I had owned 2 other homes in my life and this one was the smelliest, oldest dump I had ever lived in. I was mainly sad because this is a home I would never be proud of to show my daughter.
    I'm happy for you that you didn't shed a tear over this change but man, at 37 I shed enough for you and then some. I still carry a huge guilt, I refuse to make my house "look nice" because I know my former wife and daughter had to suffer because of my actions. You turned a hoarder house into your home while I turned someone's home into my own personal solitary confinement. I envy your strength, but I'm content with my post-arrest decisions of how to live. Keep up the great videos Mack! ❤

      From across the world, I really felt the pain in your words. Ive struggled with feelings of guilt and want to share something that helped me: I wonder whether you could imagine your daughter, who you so clearly care about, in your position…would you want her to continue to punish herself after already experiencing so many frightening and disempowering consequences? Or would you feel compassion for her, and encourage her to move forwards? Self compassion is often hard to access during feelings of guilt, especially when your self esteem is rock bottom, but if you put a loved one in your place in your imagination, it can make it a little easier. And guilt seems to be putting you in a frozen state of feeling unworthy, scared to hope for anything better, maybe even worried if you can BE any better. But better benefits your daughter as well as you, so impossible as it might seem, I really hope you can start to find ways of quietening the bully in your mind that, to this stranger sounds unbearably cruel. You are suffering, and it’s ok to choose to be a little kinder to yourself. It doesn’t mean not taking responsibility, or letting yourself “off the hook”. Self compassion allows you to feel those things while also giving you space to create something new and more positive, for you and for everyone around you. One, tiny baby step at a time. I hope you’ll let the idea sit in your head over the coming days and weeks, even if it doesn’t immediately strike you as being possible. Sending some hope your way ❤️

I like my space and things the way I like them.. alone time. It’s the best. I played animal crossing last night and then fell asleep watching the hobbit. No compromising with anyone ever, no hurt feelings bc of time spent apart.. I truly can’t believe I lived like that for so long. Hope you thrive in it!

    Your comment on not having many friends really hits home with me. I've found that I may have fewer friends than neurotypicals, however I find my friends to be closer and more like family than most neurotypicals consider a "friend" to be. I've come to realize that's ok, and having the right people around you makes all the difference in your mental and physical health too. Starting over is hard and scary, but it sounds like it's the right move for you. Take care.

You've been such a help and a motivator in my life when it comes to cleaning and decluttering my home. Hope easier times are ahead for you. As a fellow autistic person who makes friends via the internet, I understand completely. We wish you nothing but rest and happy times in the future and thank you as always for taking us strangers along with you on this journey ♥

  • @BiaAlonso21
    @BiaAlonso21 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +72

    I'd just like to drop a comment about how motivating you are for me
    I have very bad ADHD and it affects me the most with executive function, so doing basically anything is really fucking hard, specially related to house chores, renovations and cleaning
    I'm from Brazil and most of the content on youtube here is from people who actually have money to spend (decorations, appliances and renovation stuff like paints, floors, etc are very expensive here in my town comparing to the minimum wage). When I stumble over US and Europe content creators, it's hard to give them credit because "those things are so much cheaper there"
    But your channel and the channels you recommend are different, you show real life houses that are kept by people who live salary by salary and that is so incredibly inspiring for me
    You and your channel are a big reason for how I'm being able to slowly organize my room and my thoughts enough to be able to actually start planning moving out of my mother's house and I thank you so much for that
    You're amazing, really! ❤

    I think that was the bravest thing and video youve done. My hubbie has ASD, tog with all the bells and whistles. Tourettes, sensory integration disorder, OCPD and more. Not to mention his passion for trains and train time tables (yuo - hes a mathematican, actually a different kind of mathematician, hes a statistician) - which at times has been more excxiting to him than...."on offer", shall we say. We both laugh about it now. Best party stories ever.!!. But our children have left home, with partners of their own, weve been together almost twice as long as we werent, its our 36 anniv soon. SO - we are almost like brother and sister now but life would never be the same without each other. Conversely, Im the one with chronic pain, invisible illness and that drains us both. But we decided its better to live with a best friend than alone, and we have lots of personal space. I understand your burnout - both our kids are autsitic too, so I understand them well
    All the best to you, and your blessed to have great friends in your life!

    Autism aside, there is something very appealing about you, you make people feel comfortable, so you would make friends if you put yourself in situations to meet new people. You struck up a great friendship with Bonnie very easily.
    You turned that kitchen into a proper working kitchen really quickly and well. Can't wait to see you cook up something delicious in it. And although I could do without the skulls (😱) your sitting area improved massively by setting up your things. Now you have a place to watch TV, to play games, to edit videos and to cook a meal. You also have a place to pee and wash. Not sure if you have any laundry room necessities yet, if not they will come.
    Is there a garage for your car and yard equipment?
    You work so hard, so constantly about the home that I don't see Emily coping too well with that big place on her own. I hope you don't end up burning yourself out by trying to look after both places as well as cleaning homes for the channel. Good luck Mack. You have got this. The moose will keep you company. With added benefit of not moulting. Road sounds very close so not pet safe.

I have close relationships with my daughter, mother, and brother; a movie friend, and a card playing friend. I can handle socializing about twice a month.

    Small tip from someone who has decorated the houses of all the boys in her family and for quite a few others too... think about which of your favorite movies you could see yourself living in. Then when you buy furniture, etc you can decide whether it would fit into that world or not. Looking at your clothes or the clothes you would buy if money was no object and seeing if there’s a theme can also help. Good luck to you!

    I was single till early 30’s. My naive ass married the wrong person and moved country. Learned the hard way that you settle with whatever you believe you’re worth and that you ABSOLUTELY need a partner who understands and respects your neurodivergence instead of weaponising it against you.
    After years of abuse, I had to decide to pack whatever I could in the middle of the night, and as soon as he left for work I got my kids into safety with 130 in my pocket. I have lost everything I’ve built and very precisely curated in 15 years (cue multiple autistic meltdowns) but had the most important people with me: my kids.
    Had to learn the language in high speed, get a drivers license, a job + education and as for two months we live in a place that was absolutely WRECKED by the previous renters. We cleaned, got the most important basics und after that comes the building a home. Every month I have to decide how much I can spend to get the place a little better and though it goes slow and our kitchen still has no sink (yet); home is now a safe space for my small neurodivergent fam.
    Whenever donations are offered or free stuff is put on the curb I am not too picky how it looks. When you’ve lost everything, you’re happy with whatever works in that moment and you’ll be surprised how far a deep clean goes. The time for upgrades and luxury comes later.
    So as you are building your home, so are we. Cheers on your new journey and beware of the sneaky get smacked in the back attacks! 🥂

    We're kinda in the same place... I've been widowed for 7 years. Can no longer afford the house we bought together. It's not fancy, but it was ours. Our child just turned 18. Only house he's known. So we're going to have to find a rental, and try to make things work. Here's hoping we both get stuff worked out.

      For anyone that needs to hear it, term life insurance is made for this sort of situation. Think of it as survivor lifestyle insurance. Paying for those that rely on your income. It's relatively cheap too if you're 30s and younger and in good health. Much love to you amethyst for sharing your story and good luck!
      (And no, I don't make my living selling or advising life insurance. If I did, I'd be recommending long term expensive products instead of term life.)

    Thank you for being considerate to your neighbors with the curtains. I know you spend hours per day flexing in the mirror, and I'm glad you won't be accidentally blowing out all of your neighbors windows or causing structural damage do their homes while doing so. I am sure they appreciate that, too. Good luck to you in this new season of life. It's going to be okay.

    I'm glad you and the Moose decided to cohabitate during this stressful transition for y'all. Hopefully there are budget friendly moose flooring options you can find locally. And glad you are introducing them to alternative life options and getting ready for Halloween! Hopefully they learn how to high five without throwing out your back so you don't have to high five yourself. Praying everyone is happy, healthy, and healing going forward!

      I hear moose can make excellent roommates. Just make sure they have slippers, otherwise it'll sound like tap dancers have taken up residence.

      @@Libertybell2024 that's a really good point. I wonder if they make moose sized crocks? Then they could be stylin and muffled while having a dance party.

    I think I’m going to start videoing myself as I clean. Do you find that you do things differently knowing people are watching? I think I would do a better job. No one else would ever watch it so I wouldn’t have to worry that they would cut me down. Plus I can pick my nose if I need to. I know that makes you jealous….

    There are worse things than being by yourself... The worst way of feeling lonely is when somebody is right there next to you. Now you can hope for some happiness and wish it for her as well... I admire your honesty and how well the two of you handled that. We are all in your corner, buddy! ... Or at least we will be as soon as we get that moose out of it, it's being pretty stubborn.

    I love that you make the distinction between "living" in the house vs. "existing" in it.
    I had never thought of it that way, but it is oh so true!
