stan the moto man I didn’t have it as bad as you did but I have lived the same way no electricity or gas and it is depressing but for me doing like hang out with friends and family definitely helps
Dad died when I was fifteen.. leaving mom, me and three more siblings and growing up in Fiji was hard bro .. we had to relocate to a different island altogether.. new place new school.. oh I hated it .. now years later .. I live in the USA.. so grateful and thankful and privileged to be here .. I do travel to Surrey bc a lot coz 80 percent of my wife’s family lives there .. anyway it was great that you pulled through as I did too .. the daily struggles of life is still there but m happy .. great vid and be safe out there ...much love from California
Not gonna lie, this is 85% similar to what i experienced, Same age, same way of thinking. Very relatable to me. Difference is I'm still trying to get through this mess. Good for you to have everything figured out now Stan and keep up the good work. Cheers 🍺
It's crazy how despite going through such a tough childhood, you and Sean turned out pretty OK. I think it says a lot about how strong you two are mentally. Most people who grow up in a setting like that end up like their parents, or in this case, like your dad. I was raised by divorced immigrant parents since birth, and we were poor AF. I remember going to McDonalds ONLY when we had a coupon, and it was a treat to split one hamburger, and split one muffin. Even at a young age, I would not ask for a bigger piece because I knew it would mean my dad would get less. My arcade was Future Shop because it was free haha. But dude, stuff like this is such a blessing in disguise. When you know what it's like to live in a crap environment, you're more hungry to never go back there. And being in Canada, we're so damn lucky that we've got infinite opportunties to make what we want out of life.
Damn dude. Didn't know it was like that for you. I remember using coupons too just to be able to afford fast food back then haha. Still selfless back then as you are now, man! But yeah, I'm glad I went through it as weird as it sounds. Such important life lessons that no amount of words could teach unless you actually go through it yourself.
I've lost my father to leukemia 13 years ago, I was 11yo at the time(he died being 40years old). I remember waking up at 4:30AM for no reason with weird feeling, didn't think much about it and went back to sleep. The same day when i got back from school i found out that at the exact same time (4:30 AM) my father passed away. Luckily for me my mother was and is super strong, she did everything to raise me and my sister (she's 3 years older than me) properly. She really missed my father but didn't let it affect us. So at least my upbringing was unharmed much. Then 8 years after losing my father my mom got diagnosed with tumor(sarcoma). She fights with it to this day, i mean she had chemotherapy 3 times, 3 operations of tumor removal, and at the moment everything is fine, but it can come back anytime. Im grateful for everyday she's still here. I bet i will end up with some kind of cancer/tumor at some point, since both of my parents experienced it, my grandfather died from colorectal cancer, and i found out both of my father's grandparents died from cancer as well. I'm happy with my significant other, we're together for 6 years at the moment, but i know someday i will hurt her... Man, life is tough... Everyone who sees this comment, stay strong no matter what. English is not my language, sorry of any mistakes, but your story made me think about all i've been through.
MY dad got kidney failure, a stroke leaving his left side weak bleeding in his brain and is pretty sick money is on a all time low. Rental business is not doing well due to some things that happened and just struggling right now. But one day I'll make tons of money and give to my mom and dad what they deserve
It is depressing, but I do appreciate Stan for sharing something so private. Life isn't always going to have its up's, and Stan is just sharing his hardships and trying to motivate us.
I see his story as struggling through adversity and coming out better on the other side of it. And it makes me feel blessed to have had the life I have had.
Stan, I’m very sorry for the loss of your mom. She would be so proud of you brotha now. She’s looking down from heaven smiling knowing you have become a amazing adult. You also have great content on TH-cam and please keep motovlogging. Your a good man Stan, don’t ever forget that.
Well stan, after all of what youve been through you turn out just fine my guy, watching all of your video i kinda feel that you are that one friend when hes not around everybody going to miss him and looking for him. Well just like you said, personality over physical right. Man what the hell am i running my mouth for, its 11 pm here, so yeah you just mellow me out lol. Anyway, i enjoy the video. Till next time stanfam
If someone pays attention to your previous videos will understand your childhood was not like a fairytale. I am happy for you that you have the courage to talk about difficult situations from your past. It is inspiring and gives me the courage to talk about my dad when I am asked and how he was gone when I was 16. If Stans can, I can do it too! As I told you, you are a real fighter, you are the real deal!
Thanks, Bill! If it's one thing I learned from posting the other video, it's that a lot of people are going through similar, or even harder situations. It's definitely something that I can talk about more openly now now that a certain amount of time has passed. So you do it when you're ready!
This is awesome man. I love hearing your story. I have wanted to tell my story on my channel but am holding back until I have more subscribers because I want to reach more people. I fought drug addiction and turned my life around and want to share that hope with anyone who may struggle with what I did. Motorcycles are a big part of my recovery and I want to connect with people through that as well. Thanks for your courage to share your life with us!
I am so inspired by your resilience and inner determination you were so young and didn't lash out to the world for having such a miserable life. So much loss losing your mom and your dad who probably didn't properly deal with his own grief. Stan, you just being kid having to face poverty and homelessness growing up so fast with uncertainty in your life your inner goodness didn't wavier. Instead, it manifested and forged a stronger wiser kinder you at such a young age. I'm just think about how you placed yourself between a guy with a gun pointed at your father that to me is conveys a selfless act of love for your father and acts bravery and courage to me. An instructor shared this once with me about life, "No calm ocean ever made a good sailor". You have a good future a bright future ahead of you, Stan. Thank you for sharing.
I know how it can be to have a rough childhood! Its amazing to see where you ended up, doing the things you love doing. You are a hero in my eyes, spreading love and just want the best for everyone. Thanks to you im trying to get my life back into pieces myself
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I appreciate it. I've learned over the years that telling people the struggles you have gone through helps others with their life. That being said, I'll share mine, even though you didn't really ask for it. I'm 17, in the US, and in my senior year of high school. Freshman year my mom and I started to argue a lot. Eventually, my mom kicked me out so I lived with my friend for about 2 weeks. I was 14 and I'm still incredibly thankful for him and his family. My mom realized that what she did wasn't legal so she made me come back home. That's when I realized there was really nothing keeping me at home, so I started leaving or staying long hours after school so I didn't have to deal with her. The longest time I was gone during freshman year was 3 months. My grandma had just moved into a retirement home and her house wasn't occupied. My dad found me and asked if I could come home for him, so I did. My situation at home only went downhill and junior year I started leaning towards drinking and smoking. I hated having people at the house (still do haha) and spent as much time as I could with my friends. I realized I was beginning to have a problem with substance abuse so I stopped. Now when I go to parties I study for my EMT class and watch over everyone else lmao. Fast forward to this year and just this last month I was kicked out once and left 3 times. My dad convinced me to come back each time. He worries that because I'm a girl I'll have a higher chance of getting hurt, and he's not wrong. My mom threatened to call the cops on me for stealing a car so there were a couple of times where I just slept in the field of an elementary school. That wasn't too fun. It gets cold real damn fast. Usually I just sleep in the bed of my truck (I have a cover over it) with some sleeping bags I've grabbed. I don't like to admit it but I've left more times this year than any other years prior. It's difficult to tell people because then they call and report you which complicates everything. But through this I've learned how to deal with situations and different personalities, as well as my dad has taught me so many valuable lessons. Without him, I'd be lost. He's also shown me that true love does exist. Despite all the drama my mom and I have caused between us and my dad (who usually sides with me), he still loves and cares for my mom. She's bipolar, has depression, and anger issues, but my dad is always there for her, even though he doesn't always agree with what she says. The most important lesson my dad has taught me is to suck up your pride and admit when you're wrong. Sometimes that's really hard to do but the importance is high. Things will never be good with my mom but that's okay. I have my dad. I found your channel because, like everyone else here, I like to ride. When I can, I hop on my brother's Ninja 250r. My first bike I want to own is a Ninja 300. Hearing your experience and seeing where you are now gives me hope. Thank you for everything. :)
Thank you for sharing your story, Liv. Wow. I'm glad you're here right now. You've been through a lot but it looks like you're learning very important lessons along the way so I'm happy about that. I am sorry you have to go through it though to begin with. Hope you can get your Ninja 300 soon! They're great bikes. Again, thanks again for taking the time to share. You'll be in my thoughts!
I did have similar problems growing up.. Moving from house to house, not enough money to pay rent. No heated water, no washing machines ant etc.. Too embarrased to bring friends over to the house, because the house was ugly, not talking enough about the problems in the family and so on and on.. I do know what are you talking about and feel it. But maybe those experiences so early in our lives give us good examples of how to not live our lives, to try our best to live better and not give up even when it seems that there is no way out. Good luck to you, Stan. It's great that you share your story. I think it helps others to notice that they are not alone, that it is okay to seek help and not feel embaressed and instead take action to live better. Peace and have a great day!
I completely agree you with you on that man. I'm happy I went through it now that I'm passed it. Sorry you had to go through similar situations though. Thanks for sharing your experience! Have a good day too!
You are really amazing Stan. You surely are a wonderful human being and it’s really sad what’s happened to you but the fact that you shared your story with all of us shows how strong you are. You are Amazing Stan 👍
I’m going through bad depression anxiety and adhd during school and with family and it bad and I can’t handle it that well I have been through sucide thoughts I still get them but I will never leave my family back behind I know it will get better but it’s hard I just hope that all this pain will go away and one day I will have a real smile on my faces and be truly happy and maybe I would become famous for makeing music and to follow my dream
Damn, that's fucked up. My dad passed away like 4 years ago so i can kinda relate to you. Best of luck and don't forget to always keep your head up. Things always can get better.
Life struggles drove you to bring yourself up out of it, good for you. Usually the poor kids in your town end up hooked on drugs and on the street, seen this too many times. Me and my bros grew up broke on the other side of the river, it pushed us all to work, and work to where we are now. A little struggle can help if you can wrap your head around it.
I lost my grandfather on September 9th this year so everything that I heard now was very touching to me makeing me miss him so very much but we got to keep our heads up high and that we can't keep living what has happened in the past So that you bro for sharing this to me in my 11th year of highschool. P.S Keep up the good work
Hey man, that was really great that you shared this. A lot of people go through a lot of different troubles, some of the things you went through I can relate and others I have no clue but the big thing is we all feel pain and happiness. We've never met, but I've watched your vids and think they're great and just gotta say that I'm proud of you for being vulnerable... it shows some real strength.
Stan I know the feeling lost my mom to cancer 2nd year of high school my dad in 1984 and for me been ruff there after and so many times tried to take my own life because couldn't handle it and from time to time that I think about that again thank you kindly for your time here.
You definitely went through a rough time man. Am glad you seem to be in a good place and I admire your positive attitude. I lost my mother when I was in college due to cancer. No matter how grim things seem, there’s always a way out. I’ve got a tattoo on my shoulder and arm that reminds me of this every single day. Try to stay positive and live your dream to the best of your abilities.
Bro you're really a inspiration for me now i' 16 years old in high school and you're advice help me and open my eyes thank you Stan, You're the best Biker
Hey Stan, it's Tim from North East, India. It really feels warm to know that I'm not the only one out there having family problems. I just want to share that I was constantly fighting depression when my mom and dad got separated 10 years ago. I remember waiting for my dad to come home, but just never did. I also remember feeling scared all the time. But things are in the past now. Watching your vlog helpe me realized that all the experiences we faced in the past, only makes us stronger. I appreciate what you're doing man. Thank you.
Yet again an amazing vid. by Stan... truly inspiring...life teaches a lot and a man is best shaped in toughest of the situations and the choices you make defines who you are and yeah, it is hard to go on the right way when things are not but its most important thing, to go on the right path and not fall in trap of false desire..."you kick life, life will kick you back harder. You love life, life will love you forever and more". -T.S.
Damn bro, hearing that u stepped in front of your dad in the line of fire had me almost tearing up man. I can't imagine what it would be like losing a wife and mother to your two kids, but he kept you "safe" maybe until that point lol, and probably in hindsight gave you the best opportunity to experience life at its worst which is never as bad as it seems, which is probably why we see you experiencing life at its best now! For real, you are somethin else! Stay up my man!
Man I lost my mother a long time ago I'm still going strong and it's hard living with one family member but me and my dad are going through our problems so if I can do it all you can too.
I’m soo sorry to hear about your Mom. Know that one day you will see her again and she is always around. Your Dad is the one that needs help so he could take care of you guys but life is a learning lesson n if it was easy we wouldn’t be learning much. Know that you are special for what you have gone thru but even more special cuz you have shared n learned! That was great advice at the end as I was in a kind of similar situation just not as bad but I was always too proud to talk to anyone cuz I had the me against the world mentality as I was going to win lol! No one wins by themselves I learned that the hard way n ALL of us need help at some point! Keep telling stories your good at it n I’ll keep listening!
Thank you for the kind words, Brad! I completely agree with everything you've said. People are too afraid to rely on other people and I get where they're coming from but at the same time, sometimes we need an extra pair of shoulders to share some of the load too
Keep it up homie 😎 Most of the video is a heartfelt downer, cause I know where your coming from on 90% of what your talking about, but then I like how you end on a positive note. Every thing in life is an experience, good or bad you can always learn something from it. As long as you don’t dwell on the bad and move forward, you can usually take something good from even a bad experience. I guess it depends on your outlook on life, is your glass half full or half empty.
I actually lost my dad in October im only 14 and its tough i miss him But can't keep crying right so the only thing is that is good is that my mom's friends come to me and speak and they motivate and help me be stronger
Im sorry man that sounds horrible. I went through my parents getting a divorce when i was in grade 8th and i felt like giving up on school and i didnt do to well but i talked to a friend who's parents went through the same thing and he did. Made me feel alot better. Im glad to see you doing good mad. #stanfam
Stan life was very tough as a child for you but like people always say, things will get better, and guess what it did! Hopefully you’ve learned a lot from those situations and by the way I love your videos. Bye Stan!
Stan, I'm a new subscriber from Manila. Goddamn, your story about not having nothing like electricity and food, hit home hard. My family and I went through that kind of a phase too. Thankfully, all that passed by and I look back on it as a time where I learned so much as opposed to going on a hate spree on everything. Love your videos! I'm getting into vlogging on my bike too, but I haven't gone around much since I'm married now. I know, I started on the bike thing late haha. Cheers! Jo aka Sneaky
I had bad upbringing and it affected me greatly growing up, not talking was my downfall so 👏👏👏👏to you for encouraging others to open up. If I had talked things would have gone much easier in life.
My parents got divorced when I was about 3-4 years old, they got partial custody over me and my sister, the main parent was my mom though. We have always had enough money to just get by, with a little extra left, but about a year ago, my mom quit her job because of drama in the office. We lived off the child support my dad just recently started paying again, cause he finally got a job again. She found a job, and it felt like everything was back to normal, I’m still close with my cousins on his side of the family, and I still love my dad, but not very close with that side of the family. I only really saw them on holidays. So I was never close with them. My grandparents on my moms side, which I’m more of a grandma’s girl than a momma’s girl, they always took time out of their week to see us. She also had to adopt one of her exes granddaughter, she has fetal alcohol syndrome, so she is very annoying at times, and that adds up to the stress on the mom. I’m also in 9th grade currently, so things are likely to happen throughout high school.
Man these story's always make me sad T^T I remember watching your channel along time ago but forgot to subscribe 😅 Glad that I got here, safe travels, and that is really true we all struggle it's just the way we take it.That changes life Have a wonderful day people :D
Hey Stan, i stumbled on your channel, just got subbed after backtrackin your videos, but this one got me wellin' really hard. i feel you bro coz i went through exactly the same way you did. Like they say.. You drown not by falling into the river, but by staying submerged in it. I'm glad you got out fine, me too😂. Having a family and Working overseas now is not easy, but watching your videos, it make it lighter. Ride Safe and keep on riding.......🏍🏍🏍
i like your story and i respect you and being open with us. i wish i can drive a motorbike like your's. right now i have Zipp VZ-1 it's my first motorbike and i'm learning, however i now ride my motorcycle for 4 years now. i love your video and keep it up.
I was in a similar situation a year ago actually. Long relationship ended. Couldn't afford all my bills once we broke up. (Couldn't afford my own place and had no good roomie options). So I moved back in with my addict of a mom. It's very embarassing to regress so much at tha age. Tried helping her which lead to her hitting rock botton.. she was evicted from not working for years, running out of cash and being an alcoholic. I took all her stuff rented a box truck. Moved her stuff into a storage garage. My aunt helped her by paying for it for 3 months. I searched for better opportunities while housing her and myself in a hotel for two weeks. I left that state and moved across the country with all my stuff after that two weeks. Leaving her to figure it out when check out time hit in a few hours. When I left my homestate I had 5 jobs. Sadly my current original one was not enough. The others all had catches or had false pay rates on their adverts when I went in for interviews and questioned them about interworkings. I jad one good opportunity out of those 5 jobs but it was too late. Moved across the country moved in with a friend from 5th grade so we are roomies. Having a go at an entirely new career. All that stuff happened 6 months ago. I try my best to not think about it. Because that situation literally scared me. Being on such a brink of what felt like destruction and hopelessness. I have had a crazy childhood with too many negative family impacts which have effected my currenr direction. After moving across the country I had a job within two weeks. After I locked down the job I spent a week at all the local ocean beaches destressing. In the end the best thing that happended did. I am now 1400 mikes away from any family drama so I can't be effected by it any longer and have started a new career. The negatives I miss my friends who saved my from crippling depressing when that last relationship came to an abrupt end. My motorcycle is still there with a good friend keeping it i secure storage with 2 other motorcycles and some rare cars. I haven't ridden my bike in a year now because of winter and the move. I cry, but should have it in April or selling it for a Tuono Factory.
Sorry you're going through all that man! Push through and I definitely believe you'll make it out a better and stronger person at the end. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you get that Aprilia!
Hey Stan. Again, thanks for sharing. I am following your videos for a while now. I am from Europe and I am about to turn 30 in a few weeks (feels weird, sounds old :) ) . If you would meet me in person you would probably say "he is so cheerful person, he is so happy" , but the truth is there are a lot like us dealing with some serious sh*t during our life. I am really sorry to hear that your mom passed away, and dad was not dealing with everything the way I think he should have. My both parents are alive and live together, but my childhood was during the period of time when they had issues in their relationships, and I did not have a chance to get support and did not want to burden them with my problems. So all the pain, bad feelings, I am still holding inside myself like some sort of "dark power", haha :D Learning how to handle that "power" all my life. But I believe this is what makes us the way we are, not sure if it could not be better, but I like the way I am right now and it looks like you like how the things turned out for you as well. Have a good one! :)
Hey Dmitrij! Thanks for sharing this. I laughed a little reading the dark power part haha. But I'm glad you're pulling through and it looks like you're learning a lot regardless of everything you've been through.
@@STANTHEMOTOMAN there is only one way, face life head to head, and learn what you can do about it :) Staying positive all the time. Nothing can break us :)
Shame Stan I'm so sorry, I'm so happy Jesus christ has blessed and helped u, I'm also now in high school and u have brought my crave of riding bike back💪may God bless ur wonderful soul and ur family. BTW I love ur tiny bike😂❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
We almost have the same story stan after my mom past away.. I feel like im living in another world.. Like this is not the life i used to live before... Everything is going down... Everything has changed..
Well watching this and the other video makes me feel SUPER privileged. Here I am living in a huge house with my parents working every day so I can live a good life while you were struggling. Im glad that you turned out the way you did! I wouldnt have survived it
Stan, I don't know you bro, just a little bit of what you share by watching some of your videos. However, despite all you've been through, you seem like a pretty happy, nice, down to earth guy with a good head on his shoulders. I think what you've been through made you a stonger person and ultimately will help you through the rest of your life whenever you encounter adversity. Good luck with everything you do bro and thanks for sharing your story. Peace ✌
Thanks, Doug! I've definitely learned that I could handle a lot at a young age and I always try to remind myself that anything that happens, I'll make it through. I appreciate your comment!
Holy crap that neighbour with the rifle scared me even though I'm just listening to this. Depicting a 15 yo kid covering his father from a gun is terrifying and painful. Stay strong! Love from Russia
So just to add to the depressing tone of this video, I had posted previously to one of your videos and shared that I also lost my mom to cancer when I was 30 and she was only 49. That was back in 2004. Well fast forward to last week, we just found out that my dad now has esophageal cancer. They found a mass while doing an endoscopy. So now I feel like my brother and I are going to have to deal with losing another parent in the near future. I'm trying to remain optimistic, but honestly my dad is not the shining example of health and he had open heart surgery a couple of years ago, so they don't think he would survive any type of surgery to remove this mass. He'll have to rely on chemo and radiation and ive seen what that does to a human body and its never great. Anyway, so there's my brief story of doom and gloom :-(
I'm so sorry to hear what you've gone through and what you're currently going through. I hope everything turns out okay and hope you and your brother will be okay!
Random story time with novy: Luckily I didn't go through what you did but... Growing up my parents always argue (they still do). It would get to the point they would take their anger out on my sis and I, saying things they should never say to any kid and doing the actions that was just crossing the line. I always got jealous of my sister cause she went out all the time through elementary school and now. I didn't realize what she was doing til I got older... She was trying to run away from home. I remember when I use to run to her room at night while my parents were arguing, and we would plan our escape...we never did end up running away cause we never found out where to go once we left. Anyways, by the time I was in highschool, I continued to struggle with making friends. I feared going out cause I would see and hear how my sister gets treated for always going out, and I didn't want to get in trouble and be punished. When I got to uni, I made it a goal to try to change things. Since I went to school in a complete different city from where I live (far from my parents and home), I felt the freedom to be who I am. The years I've been in uni were some of the best... Making excuses to stay at school really late and to go to school really early just to be away from the toxicity. I kept myself busy with numerous jobs (which thanks to that I have so many open doors...i have a clearer path of where I wanna go in the future). Ofc I don't hate my parents, I'm thankful to have them...but it sucks. I kinda learned to live by my own expectations. Do what I wanna do and believe what I wanna believe in. If you ever watched yestheory, ammar's story is very touching and it inspires me to keep fighting for myself. Sometimes things must be sacrificed for you to be set free. As sad as it might be. . I noticed there seems to be things you forgot about...blocking the past. I kind of wish I could too, but I tend to remember everything.
Wow, thanks for sharing this Novi! You've always been sort of a mystery! Sorry you had to go through that growing up but I'm glad you've found your own ways to help your mental well-being. You're learning a lot right now, and you'll only learn more as you keep getting older so never lose sight of that! Thanks for sharing your story!
The idea is not to judge people by how they look without knowing what they are going through in their lives , You might see someone in your school, in your neighborhood, or even in your work, You have to accompany them and make them feel better without embarrassing them Before they speak, In return you will get a real friend for a hundred years before you know I was lucky I grew up with money Both my parents are doing perfect work, But we lived in a small village Most of my friends don't have that much money, But for me, I was thinking or this is what I learned from my parents that what I did for my parents to get this money before I born or what if we lost one day You'll be grateful Really that video is very cool Thank you very much 🇸🇦
Bro you have to stop worrying about dragging it on because of time WE WOULD GLADLY LISTEN TO ALL OF IT, we want to know about you it’s interesting and makes us feel like we know you more on a personal level
I'm 12 rn and I fully groo up with out a dad i live in the UK and I've lived in flat all my life and tbh I think me never meeting him was a good thing so yeah that's my life story o and I have adhd and making yt vids is like my only passion really
Hey there just want to say U really have a strong heart and mental going through all that..take care always man God bless.. ..greetings from the Philippines. #Puso
I have a story like this but not as sad as this. I was 8 when my house burnt down we had to stay at my great grandmas house after like two months of that we moved into a hotel with 4 beds we have 14 siblings and we had to stay in a 4 bed hotel we moved into a house that is basically falling apart we never had our own rooms because this only has four bedrooms. So that's my story and we still live in the tiny house rn
Looking forward to reading your stories! I know we all have stuff to deal with in life so don't be afraid to look for some support! Love ya'll
Love u stan
Stan the moto man more like Stan the awesome man
stan the moto man I didn’t have it as bad as you did but I have lived the same way no electricity or gas and it is depressing but for me doing like hang out with friends and family definitely helps
Dad died when I was fifteen.. leaving mom, me and three more siblings and growing up in Fiji was hard bro .. we had to relocate to a different island altogether.. new place new school.. oh I hated it .. now years later .. I live in the USA.. so grateful and thankful and privileged to be here .. I do travel to Surrey bc a lot coz 80 percent of my wife’s family lives there .. anyway it was great that you pulled through as I did too .. the daily struggles of life is still there but m happy .. great vid and be safe out there ...much love from California
Not gonna lie, this is 85% similar to what i experienced, Same age, same way of thinking. Very relatable to me. Difference is I'm still trying to get through this mess. Good for you to have everything figured out now Stan and keep up the good work. Cheers 🍺
It's crazy how despite going through such a tough childhood, you and Sean turned out pretty OK. I think it says a lot about how strong you two are mentally. Most people who grow up in a setting like that end up like their parents, or in this case, like your dad.
I was raised by divorced immigrant parents since birth, and we were poor AF. I remember going to McDonalds ONLY when we had a coupon, and it was a treat to split one hamburger, and split one muffin. Even at a young age, I would not ask for a bigger piece because I knew it would mean my dad would get less. My arcade was Future Shop because it was free haha. But dude, stuff like this is such a blessing in disguise. When you know what it's like to live in a crap environment, you're more hungry to never go back there. And being in Canada, we're so damn lucky that we've got infinite opportunties to make what we want out of life.
Damn dude. Didn't know it was like that for you. I remember using coupons too just to be able to afford fast food back then haha. Still selfless back then as you are now, man! But yeah, I'm glad I went through it as weird as it sounds. Such important life lessons that no amount of words could teach unless you actually go through it yourself.
damn. i grew up poor af as well. and reading this it gave me insight to persevere more and to be successful.
I've lost my father to leukemia 13 years ago, I was 11yo at the time(he died being 40years old). I remember waking up at 4:30AM for no reason with weird feeling, didn't think much about it and went back to sleep. The same day when i got back from school i found out that at the exact same time (4:30 AM) my father passed away. Luckily for me my mother was and is super strong, she did everything to raise me and my sister (she's 3 years older than me) properly. She really missed my father but didn't let it affect us. So at least my upbringing was unharmed much. Then 8 years after losing my father my mom got diagnosed with tumor(sarcoma). She fights with it to this day, i mean she had chemotherapy 3 times, 3 operations of tumor removal, and at the moment everything is fine, but it can come back anytime. Im grateful for everyday she's still here. I bet i will end up with some kind of cancer/tumor at some point, since both of my parents experienced it, my grandfather died from colorectal cancer, and i found out both of my father's grandparents died from cancer as well. I'm happy with my significant other, we're together for 6 years at the moment, but i know someday i will hurt her... Man, life is tough... Everyone who sees this comment, stay strong no matter what.
English is not my language, sorry of any mistakes, but your story made me think about all i've been through.
MY dad got kidney failure, a stroke leaving his left side weak bleeding in his brain and is pretty sick money is on a all time low. Rental business is not doing well due to some things that happened and just struggling right now. But one day I'll make tons of money and give to my mom and dad what they deserve
Maxadrove good luck bro, wishing the best for u and your family. Hope everything goes well.
Hope everything goes right god bless u

You'll be in my thoughts, man!
*stan* "lemmy just hand out some depression real quick"
It is depressing, but I do appreciate Stan for sharing something so private. Life isn't always going to have its up's, and Stan is just sharing his hardships and trying to motivate us.
Hahaha, depressing with a happy ending!
Yeah its pretty cool that you share these stories with us stan i lovem all there so repeatable in a way.
I dont mean harm
I see his story as struggling through adversity and coming out better on the other side of it. And it makes me feel blessed to have had the life I have had.
Stan, I’m very sorry for the loss of your mom. She would be so proud of you brotha now. She’s looking down from heaven smiling knowing you have become a amazing adult. You also have great content on TH-cam and please keep motovlogging. Your a good man Stan, don’t ever forget that.
Well stan, after all of what youve been through you turn out just fine my guy, watching all of your video i kinda feel that you are that one friend when hes not around everybody going to miss him and looking for him. Well just like you said, personality over physical right. Man what the hell am i running my mouth for, its 11 pm here, so yeah you just mellow me out lol. Anyway, i enjoy the video. Till next time stanfam
Thanks for the kind words, Florens!
If someone pays attention to your previous videos will understand your childhood was not like a fairytale. I am happy for you that you have the courage to talk about difficult situations from your past. It is inspiring and gives me the courage to talk about my dad when I am asked and how he was gone when I was 16. If Stans can, I can do it too! As I told you, you are a real fighter, you are the real deal!
Thanks, Bill! If it's one thing I learned from posting the other video, it's that a lot of people are going through similar, or even harder situations. It's definitely something that I can talk about more openly now now that a certain amount of time has passed. So you do it when you're ready!
This is awesome man. I love hearing your story. I have wanted to tell my story on my channel but am holding back until I have more subscribers because I want to reach more people. I fought drug addiction and turned my life around and want to share that hope with anyone who may struggle with what I did. Motorcycles are a big part of my recovery and I want to connect with people through that as well. Thanks for your courage to share your life with us!
Glad you made it through man! Motorcycles have definitely played a big part in making me a happier person as well. Thanks for the comment!
Definitely need to start this series! I love hearing these stories
Will do!
I am so inspired by your resilience and inner determination you were so young and didn't lash out to the world for having such a miserable life. So much loss losing your mom and your dad who probably didn't properly deal with his own grief. Stan, you just being kid having to face poverty and homelessness growing up so fast with uncertainty in your life your inner goodness didn't wavier. Instead, it manifested and forged a stronger wiser kinder you at such a young age. I'm just think about how you placed yourself between a guy with a gun pointed at your father that to me is conveys a selfless act of love for your father and acts bravery and courage to me. An instructor shared this once with me about life, "No calm ocean ever made a good sailor". You have a good future a bright future ahead of you, Stan. Thank you for sharing.
I know how it can be to have a rough childhood! Its amazing to see where you ended up, doing the things you love doing. You are a hero in my eyes, spreading love and just want the best for everyone. Thanks to you im trying to get my life back into pieces myself
Thank you, Jon-Eirik! You'll be in my thoughts! I know you'll push through
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I appreciate it. I've learned over the years that telling people the struggles you have gone through helps others with their life. That being said, I'll share mine, even though you didn't really ask for it. I'm 17, in the US, and in my senior year of high school. Freshman year my mom and I started to argue a lot. Eventually, my mom kicked me out so I lived with my friend for about 2 weeks. I was 14 and I'm still incredibly thankful for him and his family. My mom realized that what she did wasn't legal so she made me come back home. That's when I realized there was really nothing keeping me at home, so I started leaving or staying long hours after school so I didn't have to deal with her. The longest time I was gone during freshman year was 3 months. My grandma had just moved into a retirement home and her house wasn't occupied. My dad found me and asked if I could come home for him, so I did. My situation at home only went downhill and junior year I started leaning towards drinking and smoking. I hated having people at the house (still do haha) and spent as much time as I could with my friends. I realized I was beginning to have a problem with substance abuse so I stopped. Now when I go to parties I study for my EMT class and watch over everyone else lmao. Fast forward to this year and just this last month I was kicked out once and left 3 times. My dad convinced me to come back each time. He worries that because I'm a girl I'll have a higher chance of getting hurt, and he's not wrong. My mom threatened to call the cops on me for stealing a car so there were a couple of times where I just slept in the field of an elementary school. That wasn't too fun. It gets cold real damn fast. Usually I just sleep in the bed of my truck (I have a cover over it) with some sleeping bags I've grabbed. I don't like to admit it but I've left more times this year than any other years prior. It's difficult to tell people because then they call and report you which complicates everything. But through this I've learned how to deal with situations and different personalities, as well as my dad has taught me so many valuable lessons. Without him, I'd be lost. He's also shown me that true love does exist. Despite all the drama my mom and I have caused between us and my dad (who usually sides with me), he still loves and cares for my mom. She's bipolar, has depression, and anger issues, but my dad is always there for her, even though he doesn't always agree with what she says. The most important lesson my dad has taught me is to suck up your pride and admit when you're wrong. Sometimes that's really hard to do but the importance is high. Things will never be good with my mom but that's okay. I have my dad. I found your channel because, like everyone else here, I like to ride. When I can, I hop on my brother's Ninja 250r. My first bike I want to own is a Ninja 300. Hearing your experience and seeing where you are now gives me hope. Thank you for everything. :)
Thank you for sharing your story, Liv. Wow. I'm glad you're here right now. You've been through a lot but it looks like you're learning very important lessons along the way so I'm happy about that. I am sorry you have to go through it though to begin with. Hope you can get your Ninja 300 soon! They're great bikes. Again, thanks again for taking the time to share. You'll be in my thoughts!
I did have similar problems growing up.. Moving from house to house, not enough money to pay rent. No heated water, no washing machines ant etc.. Too embarrased to bring friends over to the house, because the house was ugly, not talking enough about the problems in the family and so on and on.. I do know what are you talking about and feel it. But maybe those experiences so early in our lives give us good examples of how to not live our lives, to try our best to live better and not give up even when it seems that there is no way out. Good luck to you, Stan. It's great that you share your story. I think it helps others to notice that they are not alone, that it is okay to seek help and not feel embaressed and instead take action to live better. Peace and have a great day!
I completely agree you with you on that man. I'm happy I went through it now that I'm passed it. Sorry you had to go through similar situations though. Thanks for sharing your experience! Have a good day too!
You are really amazing Stan. You surely are a wonderful human being and it’s really sad what’s happened to you but the fact that you shared your story with all of us shows how strong you are. You are Amazing Stan 👍
Thank you, Aditya!
I’m going through bad depression anxiety and adhd during school and with family and it bad and I can’t handle it that well I have been through sucide thoughts I still get them but I will never leave my family back behind I know it will get better but it’s hard I just hope that all this pain will go away and one day I will have a real smile on my faces and be truly happy and maybe I would become famous for makeing music and to follow my dream
You'll pull through! I believe in you. Sorry you have to go through what you are going through!
🙏🏼🙏🏼you got this!!😊😊
I can relate Stan I have had a bad child hood so far and now I’m having to deal with my dad having stage 4 cancer
Damn, that's fucked up. My dad passed away like 4 years ago so i can kinda relate to you. Best of luck and don't forget to always keep your head up. Things always can get better.
Kamil Kudła thanks bro and sorry to hear that
Omw bro I'm soo sorry, I can also relate my dad died 3 years ago with stage 4 brain cancer, stay strong we wish him the best of luck 🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪
CC3 TECKNOGAMERS you as well, and thank you man, I will definitely try to stay strong.
Anytime man😢💪🙏
Life struggles drove you to bring yourself up out of it, good for you. Usually the poor kids in your town end up hooked on drugs and on the street, seen this too many times. Me and my bros grew up broke on the other side of the river, it pushed us all to work, and work to where we are now. A little struggle can help if you can wrap your head around it.
Wait... Finallyyy i thought the next vlog is coming in a month. But now it's coming in hot!!
Yeyeyeee
Keep up this pace stan. looking forward for more videos this month.
#STMM🤙
Man you're story literally made me cry 😭😭
I lost my grandfather on September 9th this year so everything that I heard now was very touching to me makeing me miss him so very much but we got to keep our heads up high and that we can't keep living what has happened in the past So that you bro for sharing this to me in my 11th year of highschool. P.S Keep up the good work
It's my first year of highschool :D
......
D:
Sorry to hear about your loss J&A. Keep your head up and thank you for taking the time to share you story
Going through shit just made you a stronger person and shows you what you don't want in your future. Well put buddy well put
Thanks, Greg!!
Hey man, that was really great that you shared this. A lot of people go through a lot of different troubles, some of the things you went through I can relate and others I have no clue but the big thing is we all feel pain and happiness. We've never met, but I've watched your vids and think they're great and just gotta say that I'm proud of you for being vulnerable... it shows some real strength.
Thank you for the comment, Coywolf! Glad we can have some common grounds too. Hope everything is going well for you these days!
Sounds rough man glad you're good now, and you're okay after your crash. Be safe
What a powerful story. You learned a lot and are a great example to keep going
Stan I know the feeling lost my mom to cancer 2nd year of high school my dad in 1984 and for me been ruff there after and so many times tried to take my own life because couldn't handle it and from time to time that I think about that again thank you kindly for your time here.
Really touched by your stories. you encourage me to keep trying to do better!
You definitely went through a rough time man. Am glad you seem to be in a good place and I admire your positive attitude. I lost my mother when I was in college due to cancer.
No matter how grim things seem, there’s always a way out. I’ve got a tattoo on my shoulder and arm that reminds me of this every single day. Try to stay positive and live your dream to the best of your abilities.
Thanks, Stardust! Glad you've made it through everything you've been through as well!
Bro you're really a inspiration for me now i' 16 years old in high school and you're advice help me and open my eyes thank you Stan, You're the best Biker
Hey Stan, it's Tim from North East, India. It really feels warm to know that I'm not the only one out there having family problems. I just want to share that I was constantly fighting depression when my mom and dad got separated 10 years ago. I remember waiting for my dad to come home, but just never did. I also remember feeling scared all the time. But things are in the past now.
Watching your vlog helpe me realized that all the experiences we faced in the past, only makes us stronger.
I appreciate what you're doing man. Thank you.
I'm from Brasil, I like to watch your vídeos man, keep going with your work is very nice.
Thanks, Willington!
Yet again an amazing vid. by Stan... truly inspiring...life teaches a lot and a man is best shaped in toughest of the situations and the choices you make defines who you are and yeah, it is hard to go on the right way when things are not but its most important thing, to go on the right path and not fall in trap of false desire..."you kick life, life will kick you back harder. You love life, life will love you forever and more". -T.S.
Thanks, Tushar. I like that quote. I may just have to use that one day!
@@STANTHEMOTOMAN Sure😃😃... Welcome 😊...cheers
My man my heart breaks for you. Losing ur Parents especially ur mother during ur high school days.
You're awesome my guy! You've been through a lot and i'm happy you've push through all of that. You're an inspiration!
Damn bro, hearing that u stepped in front of your dad in the line of fire had me almost tearing up man. I can't imagine what it would be like losing a wife and mother to your two kids, but he kept you "safe" maybe until that point lol, and probably in hindsight gave you the best opportunity to experience life at its worst which is never as bad as it seems, which is probably why we see you experiencing life at its best now! For real, you are somethin else! Stay up my man!
Man I lost my mother a long time ago I'm still going strong and it's hard living with one family member but me and my dad are going through our problems so if I can do it all you can too.
I’m soo sorry to hear about your Mom. Know that one day you will see her again and she is always around. Your Dad is the one that needs help so he could take care of you guys but life is a learning lesson n if it was easy we wouldn’t be learning much. Know that you are special for what you have gone thru but even more special cuz you have shared n learned! That was great advice at the end as I was in a kind of similar situation just not as bad but I was always too proud to talk to anyone cuz I had the me against the world mentality as I was going to win lol! No one wins by themselves I learned that the hard way n ALL of us need help at some point! Keep telling stories your good at it n I’ll keep listening!
Thank you for the kind words, Brad! I completely agree with everything you've said. People are too afraid to rely on other people and I get where they're coming from but at the same time, sometimes we need an extra pair of shoulders to share some of the load too
Such a rough past , but you're mum is always watching over you. And I hope till this day your dad is doing okay
Thanks, KickStandUp!
The best things are yet to come
Agreed
I can relate to you because when I was growing up my school was were I found peace you inspired alot of people keep it up man I love the vids.
Thanks, sniper lyfe!
I rly do enjoy listening to and watching ur content
Thank you for sharing, Stan. Reach out and seek help if needed, and help yourself to be resilient. Take care, Stan and stanfam.
Thank you, Al the Pal!
Got so much respect for you stan! Keep grinding on YT! Always enjoy your vids
Keep it up homie 😎 Most of the video is a heartfelt downer, cause I know where your coming from on 90% of what your talking about, but then I like how you end on a positive note. Every thing in life is an experience, good or bad you can always learn something from it. As long as you don’t dwell on the bad and move forward, you can usually take something good from even a bad experience. I guess it depends on your outlook on life, is your glass half full or half empty.
Thank you for using your platform to share and provide your input.
No problem! Thank you for the comment!
I actually lost my dad in October im only 14 and its tough i miss him
But can't keep crying right so the only thing is that is good is that my mom's friends come to me and speak and they motivate and help me be stronger
Like the story time man I had something similar to that it’s a humbling experience looking back 🙏🏽
I love story time! Hey man, I cant say that I understand how you feel. But, I am super glad you are still with us. We love you!💜

Stan life was very tough as a child for you but like people always say, things will get better, and guess what it did! Hopefully you’ve learned a lot from those situations and by the way I love your videos. Bye Stan!
loved the way you shared your stories bro I am your new fan ❤️
Stan,
I'm a new subscriber from Manila. Goddamn, your story about not having nothing like electricity and food, hit home hard. My family and I went through that kind of a phase too. Thankfully, all that passed by and I look back on it as a time where I learned so much as opposed to going on a hate spree on everything.
Love your videos! I'm getting into vlogging on my bike too, but I haven't gone around much since I'm married now. I know, I started on the bike thing late haha.
Cheers!
Jo aka Sneaky
you're such an inspiration! keep doing you!!
Thanks, CJ W!
Aight another wholesome video of stan, see you again next month.
I had bad upbringing and it affected me greatly growing up, not talking was my downfall so 👏👏👏👏to you for encouraging others to open up. If I had talked things would have gone much easier in life.
Yeah, It's something I learned a little later down the road. Wish I knew it sooner too
mad respect
Love this story your such a inspiration to me hope you have a super good week
Thanks, Callum!
My parents got divorced when I was about 3-4 years old, they got partial custody over me and my sister, the main parent was my mom though. We have always had enough money to just get by, with a little extra left, but about a year ago, my mom quit her job because of drama in the office. We lived off the child support my dad just recently started paying again, cause he finally got a job again. She found a job, and it felt like everything was back to normal, I’m still close with my cousins on his side of the family, and I still love my dad, but not very close with that side of the family. I only really saw them on holidays. So I was never close with them. My grandparents on my moms side, which I’m more of a grandma’s girl than a momma’s girl, they always took time out of their week to see us. She also had to adopt one of her exes granddaughter, she has fetal alcohol syndrome, so she is very annoying at times, and that adds up to the stress on the mom. I’m also in 9th grade currently, so things are likely to happen throughout high school.
I’m so sorry man
Man these story's always make me sad T^T I remember watching your channel along time ago but forgot to subscribe 😅
Glad that I got here, safe travels, and that is really true we all struggle it's just the way we take it.That changes life Have a wonderful day people :D
HUGE respect from me and probably everybody likin the video and i al glad you now have a good life and you survived the past! #STANGANG
Thanks, Vince!
Hey Stan, i stumbled on your channel, just got subbed after backtrackin your videos, but this one got me wellin' really hard. i feel you bro coz i went through exactly the same way you did. Like they say.. You drown not by falling into the river, but by staying submerged in it. I'm glad you got out fine, me too😂. Having a family and Working overseas now is not easy, but watching your videos, it make it lighter. Ride Safe and keep on riding.......🏍🏍🏍
U really say something that just can change how someone else can think an act
It's very true!
i like your story and i respect you and being open with us. i wish i can drive a motorbike like your's. right now i have Zipp VZ-1 it's my first motorbike and i'm learning, however i now ride my motorcycle for 4 years now. i love your video and keep it up.
Thanks, Krystian!
I was in a similar situation a year ago actually. Long relationship ended. Couldn't afford all my bills once we broke up. (Couldn't afford my own place and had no good roomie options). So I moved back in with my addict of a mom. It's very embarassing to regress so much at tha age. Tried helping her which lead to her hitting rock botton.. she was evicted from not working for years, running out of cash and being an alcoholic. I took all her stuff rented a box truck. Moved her stuff into a storage garage. My aunt helped her by paying for it for 3 months. I searched for better opportunities while housing her and myself in a hotel for two weeks. I left that state and moved across the country with all my stuff after that two weeks. Leaving her to figure it out when check out time hit in a few hours. When I left my homestate I had 5 jobs. Sadly my current original one was not enough. The others all had catches or had false pay rates on their adverts when I went in for interviews and questioned them about interworkings. I jad one good opportunity out of those 5 jobs but it was too late. Moved across the country moved in with a friend from 5th grade so we are roomies. Having a go at an entirely new career. All that stuff happened 6 months ago. I try my best to not think about it. Because that situation literally scared me. Being on such a brink of what felt like destruction and hopelessness. I have had a crazy childhood with too many negative family impacts which have effected my currenr direction. After moving across the country I had a job within two weeks. After I locked down the job I spent a week at all the local ocean beaches destressing. In the end the best thing that happended did. I am now 1400 mikes away from any family drama so I can't be effected by it any longer and have started a new career. The negatives I miss my friends who saved my from crippling depressing when that last relationship came to an abrupt end. My motorcycle is still there with a good friend keeping it i secure storage with 2 other motorcycles and some rare cars. I haven't ridden my bike in a year now because of winter and the move. I cry, but should have it in April or selling it for a Tuono Factory.
Sorry you're going through all that man! Push through and I definitely believe you'll make it out a better and stronger person at the end. Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you get that Aprilia!
damn dude! mad respect from me and i have been watching you from the beginning. i love all the content you produce and on instagram man as well. -apex
Thanks Apex!!
Hey Stan. Again, thanks for sharing. I am following your videos for a while now. I am from Europe and I am about to turn 30 in a few weeks (feels weird, sounds old :) ) . If you would meet me in person you would probably say "he is so cheerful person, he is so happy" , but the truth is there are a lot like us dealing with some serious sh*t during our life. I am really sorry to hear that your mom passed away, and dad was not dealing with everything the way I think he should have. My both parents are alive and live together, but my childhood was during the period of time when they had issues in their relationships, and I did not have a chance to get support and did not want to burden them with my problems. So all the pain, bad feelings, I am still holding inside myself like some sort of "dark power", haha :D Learning how to handle that "power" all my life. But I believe this is what makes us the way we are, not sure if it could not be better, but I like the way I am right now and it looks like you like how the things turned out for you as well. Have a good one! :)
Hey Dmitrij! Thanks for sharing this. I laughed a little reading the dark power part haha. But I'm glad you're pulling through and it looks like you're learning a lot regardless of everything you've been through.
@@STANTHEMOTOMAN there is only one way, face life head to head, and learn what you can do about it :) Staying positive all the time. Nothing can break us :)
I love hearing about overcoming adversity. What about the time with your aunt?
The story didn't drag on, it's completely fascinating.
Shame Stan I'm so sorry, I'm so happy Jesus christ has blessed and helped u, I'm also now in high school and u have brought my crave of riding bike back💪may God bless ur wonderful soul and ur family. BTW I love ur tiny bike😂❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you CC3! I love this tiny bike too!

We almost have the same story stan after my mom past away.. I feel like im living in another world.. Like this is not the life i used to live before... Everything is going down... Everything has changed..
You'll make it through, man! Just need a little time to figure it out
Well watching this and the other video makes me feel SUPER privileged. Here I am living in a huge house with my parents working every day so I can live a good life while you were struggling. Im glad that you turned out the way you did! I wouldnt have survived it
I’m here and in 20 seconds it starts
I've never heard a upbringing so similar to mine...my mom was like your dad, and my dad just pieced out when I was like 5.
Your awesome brother. Love your stories. Mine story is too long to begin to tell.
Thanks, Frank!
Stan, I don't know you bro, just a little bit of what you share by watching some of your videos. However, despite all you've been through, you seem like a pretty happy, nice, down to earth guy with a good head on his shoulders. I think what you've been through made you a stonger person and ultimately will help you through the rest of your life whenever you encounter adversity. Good luck with everything you do bro and thanks for sharing your story. Peace ✌
Thanks, Doug! I've definitely learned that I could handle a lot at a young age and I always try to remind myself that anything that happens, I'll make it through. I appreciate your comment!
Just passing by stan's notification. I hope you upload soon. next week is my day it will be great if you upload another video this month ☺️
Like you said, I'm in highschool, I'ma 15yo boy from Spain that loves your stuff, keep up the great work
Thank you, Nepi!
I like your story times but they are so sad
Holy crap that neighbour with the rifle scared me even though I'm just listening to this. Depicting a 15 yo kid covering his father from a gun is terrifying and painful. Stay strong! Love from Russia
Yeah, it was an interesting moment for sure. Glad nothing bad came from it though! Thank you as well!
I feel you bro. 👋
So just to add to the depressing tone of this video, I had posted previously to one of your videos and shared that I also lost my mom to cancer when I was 30 and she was only 49. That was back in 2004. Well fast forward to last week, we just found out that my dad now has esophageal cancer. They found a mass while doing an endoscopy. So now I feel like my brother and I are going to have to deal with losing another parent in the near future. I'm trying to remain optimistic, but honestly my dad is not the shining example of health and he had open heart surgery a couple of years ago, so they don't think he would survive any type of surgery to remove this mass. He'll have to rely on chemo and radiation and ive seen what that does to a human body and its never great. Anyway, so there's my brief story of doom and gloom :-(
I'm so sorry to hear what you've gone through and what you're currently going through. I hope everything turns out okay and hope you and your brother will be okay!
@@STANTHEMOTOMAN Thanks bro, I appreciate that!
Random story time with novy:
Luckily I didn't go through what you did but...
Growing up my parents always argue (they still do). It would get to the point they would take their anger out on my sis and I, saying things they should never say to any kid and doing the actions that was just crossing the line. I always got jealous of my sister cause she went out all the time through elementary school and now. I didn't realize what she was doing til I got older... She was trying to run away from home. I remember when I use to run to her room at night while my parents were arguing, and we would plan our escape...we never did end up running away cause we never found out where to go once we left. Anyways, by the time I was in highschool, I continued to struggle with making friends. I feared going out cause I would see and hear how my sister gets treated for always going out, and I didn't want to get in trouble and be punished. When I got to uni, I made it a goal to try to change things. Since I went to school in a complete different city from where I live (far from my parents and home), I felt the freedom to be who I am. The years I've been in uni were some of the best... Making excuses to stay at school really late and to go to school really early just to be away from the toxicity. I kept myself busy with numerous jobs (which thanks to that I have so many open doors...i have a clearer path of where I wanna go in the future). Ofc I don't hate my parents, I'm thankful to have them...but it sucks.
I kinda learned to live by my own expectations. Do what I wanna do and believe what I wanna believe in. If you ever watched yestheory, ammar's story is very touching and it inspires me to keep fighting for myself. Sometimes things must be sacrificed for you to be set free. As sad as it might be.

I noticed there seems to be things you forgot about...blocking the past. I kind of wish I could too, but I tend to remember everything.
Wow, thanks for sharing this Novi! You've always been sort of a mystery! Sorry you had to go through that growing up but I'm glad you've found your own ways to help your mental well-being. You're learning a lot right now, and you'll only learn more as you keep getting older so never lose sight of that! Thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for the advice Stan

0:11 I've never seen those on the road, what are they for?

nice vid
The idea is not to judge people by how they look without knowing what they are going through in their lives ,
You might see someone in your school, in your neighborhood, or even in your work,
You have to accompany them and make them feel better without embarrassing them
Before they speak,
In return you will get a real friend
for a hundred years before you know
I was lucky I grew up with money
Both my parents are doing perfect work,
But we lived in a small village
Most of my friends don't have that much money,
But for me, I was thinking or this is what I learned from my parents that what I did for my parents to get this money before I born or what if we lost one day
You'll be grateful
Really that video is very cool
Thank you very much 🇸🇦
Very true!!

I have a story like this but not as sad as this. I was 8 when my house burnt down we had to stay at my great grandmas house after like two months of that we moved into a hotel with 4 beds we have 14 siblings and we had to stay in a 4 bed hotel we moved into a house that is basically falling apart we never had our own rooms because this only has four bedrooms. So that's my story and we still live in the tiny house rn
