  • I, Leonardo Licciardo "Leonardo DeValen" was depressed for a long time and in this video I tell you how it felt to be depressed and how I got to were I was.
    During our roadtrip vlog with my wife, Jenna Licciardo-Toivola "Jenna DeValen" I was quite reflective on my own life and how I was suffering with depression. I thought
    about what was causing my pain and eventual total burn out to quit all social media
    and eventually quit youtube. During the roadtrip I understood what freedom and joy is, and now I
    strive for that as my new Goal.

    So good to see you are ok! Depression is so hard to find your way through, I'm so pleased you've found some equilibrium again. I have had my struggle's too, and same as you, living in the moment has been life changing for me, I'm alot calmer and alot more content, happy moment's followed. Setting myself smaller goals to work towards so that I always have a sense of purpose has also been awesome, but without expecting too much from the end of that goal (flexible so when life throws crap at me I can change the goal without being lost and knocked off my balance by it).

    This season of life for me is to let this year go and look ahead to next.

    People I love have struggled with depression. Its a tough road to travel. Good to see you looking happier than you've looked in a long time.

    I enjoy all of your videos, old and new. You two are fun to watch and really enjoy each other. I love your laughter in the midst of the mosquito attack! God is good and will continue to bless you for honoring him. Please keep sharing your videos when you do take time out to make them.

    You Leonardo are wise beyond your years. I definitely feel the same way as you do. I love life and can’t wait to see what’s around the next corner. Even when I have a bad day. Stay happy my friend!!!

    I too am teaching myself to live in the moment, be thankful for this day and to stop rushing time to hurry up and get me to my end goal.......I dont even know what that is, but I am slowing down and living each day. You got this and God's got you!!

    So good to see your face, I hope you begin to post on a regular basis. Your journey is what you make it every day. Just putting one foot in front of the other is part of your journey. Accept it, continue it, and put one foot in front of the other.

    wow I really needed this. I was watching your family’s channel and was wondering where you and your wife went so now here I am! I’m in the same boat as you and honestly my goal this new year is to stop comparing my life to others which means to get off of social media for a while too. I guess this is a sign to truly honor this goal. So here’s to both of our journeys! Hope you and your wife are doing well and I wish you both so much love and happiness! Thanks for sharing this and happy new year! ☺️☺️

    Best of luck!! Be confident is whatever you choose to do and you will succeed!! You are a great person and have an adorable wife and have built a beautiful life for yourself!! Lots of love, positivity, and support to you both!! Didn’t you go to building school maybe you could have a career in that if you don’t enjoy filming anymore!!

    Thank you for your honesty and it's good to see you two again. By the way, that long stretch of land going out into the water is called a "spit".

    I have Major Depression, so I get it. You're so young, you have a whole lifetime ahead of you in which God will steadily bless you. And, your family, including your wife is a major blessing.
