"I used to fight all those negative emotions with toxic positivity....I thought you just ignored your emotions." As someone who has been watching this channel since its beginning, it is so encouraging to hear you say this. I've always loved your channel but always struggled with the "every day's a great day" idea because it seems to prohibit acceptance of difficult emotions. It doesn't let them just be okay, too. Some days feel great. Some days feel terrible. Many are somewhere in between. And they're all okay. I'm glad you got here, Mark. And I'm glad all of us get to see and watch you go through this change.
100% that not every day is great, but i still love your message mark that its great to have another day to be grateful for! i also have been watching your channel since the beginning. back then i was just as outdoorsy as you, however last year i developed debilitating diseases, so i really am thankful that i made the most of my healthy days! just a word from someone older + unfortunately now wiser. best wishes to you both! 🌈☀️
Wow. I used to watch your channel back when you were dating Ethan and I have to say the direction that you have taken this channel is quite refreshing. As a gay black man from the midwest, "everyday is NOT a great day". Thankfully, I have been lucky to leave middle America and find a safe space on the east coast. However, it's amazing to see how far you've come. It's beautiful to see you embrace inner turmoil and accept yourself right where you are. This was a very emotional watch for me; I never thought I'd see such an authentic and relatable post from this channel. Thank you for being this vulnerable, Mark.
Not that I didn't love this channel before, but I just love it so much more. Mark seems fairly happy and is moving in a positive direction. Happy for you!
Loved the Q&A format today! Also, good for you for starting therapy this summer. I’ve been seeing the same therapist, for a couple years now, and it just helps tremendously. Keep up the great content!
Love your point of toxic positivity I think that’s something most of us struggle with so often it’s so easy to push away problems and create false positive scenarios in our lives to keep the problems off our minds but they never go away. So rad you’re learning to face them head on that takes a ton of mental strength! Kudos to you man and another great vid.
If we do not acknowledge our feelings/emotions, they do not go away...they get 'bottled up', until they break the bottle! Good advice about "...let that run through you, feel it out..." Our emotions are like food...they need to be flushed from the body once they have served a purpose. 😎
I stopped drinking and going to bars 2 years ago and don't miss it one bit. I also stopped just before the covid thing started. So I feel lucky. I don't date and never got into that. I do have a friend with benefits that I've been seeing for decades. I don't allow myself any stress and stay away from people and things that could cause stress. I am a lot like you, Mark. I live alone and enjoy it, I love cooking, cleaning, keeping, and having a positive outlook on life. I love music and have a music website (Ken Steele Music) to occupy my time and with that, music is great for relieving stress. I love your videos, Mark. Keep up the good work. Enjoy life to its fullest.
I don’t drink either. Can be pretty tricky being at any social event when drinking is the norm. But, just gotta respect your own boundaries and communicate that
I can kinda feel his hurt through my screen. I get emotional seeing the newer videos knowing the past. Glad he's dealing with it. Beautiful man and soul
I've been watching your content since way back when - Everyone has their story with mental health and every single person, on this Earth deserves to know themselves and to find that inner happiness. Not every day is easy, not every day is good and do you know what? Thats okay! Give yourself a break. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Be brave. Check on your friends. Check on yourself. Love yourself. Explore every single aspect of yourself, even the scary parts. If you're reading this, carry on being your amazing self 💙
😁 it’s good your focusing on close friends and family. I find that Dating apps take away the magic of putting yourself out there and making the first moves memorable. I dunno but maybe it’s just me that thinks like that :p
Been watchin your videos ever since i was in the closet at the age of like...16?? I remember being so hopeful seeing your life, realizing that i too could have a normal beautiful life like that. Full of happiness. Eventually it inspired me to work up the nerve to finally come out and say it. Here i am, ab to be 24 and i am forever grateful for you and these videos. You’ve helped me so much you don’t even know! You’re always appreciated 💛💛💛
Well he just kind of responded at 2:29 where he said he used to fight negativity by forcing toxic positivity His new perspective is to let those negative feelings run through you and feel it out
Also there’s probably another aspect to this here! Copyright, trademark co-owned by both Mark and his ex! Tricky situation, but a shame really since the design was beautiful even if the message was somewhat Pollyanna-esque in retrospect!
Thanks for being open about your mental struggles and issues whether related to love , relationship or our normal daily hardships. I'm here since day one, although I don't know you , we'll never meet but I genuinely care about you. I said many times here , I'm much older than you but you were my inspiration for coming out to the world. Take good care of yourself 🙏
Mark life is soo short...I have lost so many people - loved ones this year. I have learnt live every day as it’s your last! Bring happiness within yourself x
Bro I started watching your videos years ago with my then boyfriend. Having watched your channel throughout the last year, and now knowing we were going through something similar, is incredibly validating. I’m glad you’re doing well. Pumped on you and your successes. Keep it up! From, A Thankful Supporter Tyler
It's increasingly nice to hear about others who don't drink. When I stopped back in the early 90s it was for many reasons...one is that I really hated the taste of it. I only did it to attempt to fit in. I don't think I ever really finished a drink. Plus there was a lot of history attached to alcohol and none of it was good. Back then, tho I had a rough time fitting in with friends who did drink. Now, things are changing a bit and I find that more and more of my friends don't drink or at the least are indifferent towards it. In other words they don't make me feel left out or un-cool if I don't drink. Anyway, thanks for coming out of the "I don't drink" closet! Good to hear!
It's so amazing to see your growth as a human and creator, yet you also find a way to maintain consistency in the feel/vibes of your content. Even when you try new things and experiment, it's always clear that it's yours so us as viewers can stay refreshed, but it's the same Mark through all these years. I don't know if that's a strange way to put it, but it absolutely is a compliment. Wishing you an ounce of the love and peace you have brought me through all these years.
Hey, Mark, I just wanted to let you know I have been watching your videos for years and you are an inspiration. I am so happy to have seen your life and all the many sides to you. Thank you so much for sharing with us the moments of your life that make you the person you are and I am grateful to you because not only have I grown watching but you inspire new ways of thinking. Much Love and keep being you.
Everything He says just speaks to me on a different level! He is so inspiring and down to earth. Keep it up Mark! Maybe not everyday is a great day, but every vid is a great vid!
It's nice to see Mark working towards a happier state. I feel like Mark always seems happiest at that lake house with his family. Been watching for years and always a fan of the content you put out. Glad you're still working on documentaries. So much talent with videos.
Hey mark, glad to hear you don’t drink anymore. I stopped about fifteen years ago. Not for any particular reason, it just started giving me more anxiety, especially the day after. I love to be the one sober one when friends get together. I feel as if I keep them in check, they are not even big drinkers? As a family we are pretty dry. I was shocked to find you had some days where even you didn’t feel quite up to par? I wasn’t shocked since I know many of us suffer from some form of mental issues, plus being gay I find most of us suffer from other issues as well? I hear stories from so many brothers and sisters who have come out only to find they’re still struggling? It makes me sad, especially as more young bro’s realize they too are part of the club? I just feel it’s a very sad life, especially from those who never had family support. I was glad finding out you returned to your roots. You’re a very good looking man, and would make a fine partner for some guy. I always felt you didn’t need to be in a large city to achieve your greatness? Wishing you the best. Hey, what ever happened you your tall friend with the glasses? I forget his name? Seemed shy, until he showed you his other side. Be well and stay safe. Alex from LAs
Great video. What the video said to me was - we are all human in this life through the good times and bad! But keep rocking Mark - I'm sure your best times are yet to come!
Mark - you are such a positive inspiration for young men who are trying to come to grips with who they are - I wish that I would have known someone like you when I was navigating through that journey
God, I love this guy. So wise at such a young age. Alcohol is a vice, a struggle. Some handle it better than others. Our best friends are our most supportive friends. They’re priceless. We who have some are pretty lucky.
Good stuff, Mark. Good for you about not drinking.. Thanks for your honesty about your mental health especially this past year. I wish I could correspond with you privately. So many things I'd like to say, but not necessarily to everyone else. Let's just say I'm glad that you are in a good, positive state right now -- at least for the most part. I've thought about you so often this past year, especially since the break-up.
Ciao Mark, your videos are awesome. I followed you since the beginning and yes let let's those nasty feeling run through your body. Don't fight them! They will leave naturally. A big hug. SAM FROM LONDON
Yo, Mark...dating apps are a bit too shallow I agree, but the old fashioned way is just HARD to put yourself out there, cause it takes NERVE...I still believe you should go to coin laundries, gay friendly churches, art galleries, dog parks, museums...and just start up a conversation about something...if they are interested they will keep it going as much as you do...like if you are at an art gallery and some other hot guy that gives you any kind of vibe that they might be receptive, then comment on the piece...I think this piece is (insert your impressions/opinions)....then say to them...what do you think?...just a thought....
I'm just sending some love to Mark and everyone enjoying Mark's videos. Rough year with some bright joyful times and letting the sad times to do its best to grieve losses Upd. Those sponsor sections are masterpieces.
I stopped watching for a bit, because I was going through a dark year myself. Thanks for still posting and putting your story out there for us. I’m probably going to be a sub4life. Thanks Mark!
been watching since forever. and you always have my heart. been growing up with you that you have a special place in my heart. hey if u ever wanna travel to my area, lemme know. i will be glad to show u around
i can't believe i've been subscribed for so long, i've grown a lot while watching this channel throughout the years so i feel i can say that i love you and it won't be weird lol.
I also don’t drink. I’m 24 and never have drank, I just don’t have any interest in it. It’s weird how it becomes a problem in dating/social life…. Mark, I am glad you have been able to find happiness in everything you do! :)
I’m glad you don’t give in to drinking. I personally hate how most social occasions seem, to some people, require alcohol. Unfortunately I’ve always found it hard not to drink when everyone else is as I don’t wanna be seen as a buzzkill, so I really wish more people would see that not all get togethers warrant alcohol.
I m happy to see you again I'm going to move to MEXICO. I want to be close to my roots. Living in most expensive place in the world is was good, but I'm going to be 70 years old, I deserve a more relaxed live. You are lucky to live a good life at a young age
How do you find dealing with your mental health, personally I’m struggling, broke my shoulder and have found such normal things are so difficult and painful to do so that’s not helped my mental health, really enjoy your videos thanks 🙏
I've never drank. It's made me an outcast to most "gay" events. I got over that BS real quick. I'm so happy 😊 I'm proud of you!! Stay sober it's totally worth it!!
GoPro puppy/that's so great!!!!! Good questions!!!! I definitely sympathize with the mental health part/truth/thanks for sharing that/I'm glad to hear that you are in a better place.You are freaking awesome!!!! I love the fam/papa Miller looks very handsome/so cute in that hat/I'm digging that hat and want one now!!!! Love ya!
Age isn't a number.. but it is a guide where you should know where you are supposed to be. when you look back at your archives of experience you will know what you have explored, what works and not, what you can cut or revisit at a different time. when you are young you tend to be optimistic but at a different age, you will filter the optimism with a realistic point of view. i wish I were a youtube at my time. the archives would have helped me learn and remember.
Dear Mark, as always: Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Do take care of you. All my best thoughts and wishes are with you all the time. ✨💖✨
Every time someone finds out I don't drink, I get questions like "did you have a problem with alcohol?" or "is there a medical reason" I wish more people could accept, I just don't drink because I am trying to be healthy. But they always seems suspicious when I say that. Like it's my cover story for some other reason.
When I tell people I don't drink I get the feeling they think, "Oh, he's boring" or "he thinks he's better than us". The next thing is, "we probably won't invite him next time". All of these are fine by me, I usually have more productive things to do anyway than hang out with drunk people.
@@8tomtoms8 i never expected people to have such a big problem with me not drinking. I've been told that i think I'm better than others more than once, it was crazy at first but Idc anymore
Mark, nice video! How long has it been since you’re done a Q&A video? I have a question: what do you parents think about your work(vlogger, photographer, creative)? Nice that you have water in the lake you visited as most do not. Anyhow, thanks! 👍👊
First off: not drinking is very smart! Alcohol is a depressor, and also some people NEED to drink every single day, and that’s when it becomes a real problem! 2nd: Feeling down? Willam said it best, Girl: “I tend to think emotions are for ugly people!” 3rd: any chance you would ever consider breaking up Mr. V and that other guy there? The one who talks too fast and walks too slow? Just a thought! 😂 Seriously, you are loved, appreciated and certainly enough! When it comes to dating, your bro, DJ Donnie, will probably be the one whose gut feeling you should trust (after your own of course)! Straight guys can spot a hustler/player from halfway ‘cross the county! After the tough year you’ve just had, I suspect he’ll be super protective of you! You’re a lucky guy, Mark E! You ARE loved!
Sad I missed the Q&A! ..one for the next one: What design do you look for when deciding to get a tattoo? Wanting to get my first, but I'm caught between getting a Flanders tattoo, or something that actually has some significance.
I feel a little attacked by the Dead Cat!! Good one Mark. Glad to hear that you are keeping your mental health in order. Adult stuff is tough sometimes! Be Well!!!

10/10 What I'm coming to acknowledge too.
Makes me think of the quote: Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day.
Mark amazes me with every video he posts. So talented, and so down to earth. Everyone deserves a friend like Mark.
Yes. The world would be a better place if we could clone him! And his family, am I silly to wish his dad to be my dad-in-law?
I love how open and honest you are about dealing with mental health ❤️. We definitely all be feeling it, especially during the pandemic.
Wow. I used to watch your channel back when you were dating Ethan and I have to say the direction that you have taken this channel is quite refreshing.
As a gay black man from the midwest, "everyday is NOT a great day". Thankfully, I have been lucky to leave middle America and find a safe space on the east coast. However, it's amazing to see how far you've come. It's beautiful to see you embrace inner turmoil and accept yourself right where you are. This was a very emotional watch for me; I never thought I'd see such an authentic and relatable post from this channel.
Thank you for being this vulnerable, Mark.
Learned a lot about videography & more through watching your videos over the years. Thank you for all the guidance & lessons!
Not that I didn't love this channel before, but I just love it so much more. Mark seems fairly happy and is moving in a positive direction. Happy for you!
Thank you for your honesty. We all appreciate this

We love an emotionally intelligent moment🧘🏽♂️☀️

Wish there were more guys out there like you. You are such a *LOVELY HUMAN BEING* 🖤 Love your vibe Mark. Keep it up👍🏾
Stay strong Mark! Life gets better over time! I also battle mental health issues. I know how you feel and just know you have many people here for you!
Mark will you ever bring back the “everyday’s a great day” shirts, my lettering has faded and literally one of my favourite shirts to go camping with!
Well he just kind of responded at 2:29 where he said he used to fight negativity by forcing toxic positivity
His new perspective is to let those negative feelings run through you and feel it out
Also there’s probably another aspect to this here! Copyright, trademark co-owned by both Mark and his ex! Tricky situation, but a shame really since the design was beautiful even if the message was somewhat Pollyanna-esque in retrospect!
Same! I have 3 of his shirts and they are literally my favourite thing to wear.

Yay we’re both 30! I’ve been watching your channel for many years and it’s always a breathe of fresh air.
We love you Mark! Thank you for sitting down with us I’ve always loved these! Always happy to continue to support your journey and your channel! 😁

i love this video, really I love your honesty in this video, about mental health and letting our emotion run, you can't stop them, specifically!
I didn't even fast forward the sponsor part, that's how much I love your videos haha.
Great video. What the video said to me was - we are all human in this life through the good times and bad! But keep rocking Mark - I'm sure your best times are yet to come!
I've been loving your content recently!! Also your cinematography is amazing, such a good eye!
Your family is so great. So supportive
I started watching your journey back in middle school in Indiana. We’ve come so far 😄🤘🏻
Everyday is a great day!
Looks so beautiful! Awesome family time with zee puppers!
Shout out to Mom (or Dad) for the beautiful flower pot arrangements!
Mark - you are such a positive inspiration for young men who are trying to come to grips with who they are - I wish that I would have known someone like you when I was navigating through that journey
God, I love this guy. So wise at such a young age. Alcohol is a vice, a struggle. Some handle it better than others. Our best friends are our most supportive friends. They’re priceless. We who have some are pretty lucky.

Thank younger sharing your thoughts. I have been watching your videos for about 4 years now and I continue to know you are a great handsome guy.
I don’t how u do it but you keep me watching your videos from the beginning to the end, enjoying every single second.
Nice nail color by the way!
Ciao Mark, your videos are awesome. I followed you since the beginning and yes let let's those nasty feeling run through your body. Don't fight them! They will leave naturally. A big hug. SAM FROM LONDON

Rough year with some bright joyful times and letting the sad times to do its best to grieve losses
Upd. Those sponsor sections are masterpieces.
Glad you still get some use out of the GoPro Fetch I sent ya six years on!
I stopped watching for a bit, because I was going through a dark year myself. Thanks for still posting and putting your story out there for us. I’m probably going to be a sub4life. Thanks Mark!
Mine would be called “drinking and why I don’t date” 🙃
Mark I've been watching your videos since the very beginning I appreciate the videos you put out. You really helped me back then thank you!
Now, I see you much better. Eventually, you are going to be completely healed. You know, time helps a lot.
Honestly made my day! Thank you for sharing your true self!
your videos make my week so much better. your vibe is so good
Thank you for being so real and sharing your real self. 🙏❤😊
been watching since forever. and you always have my heart. been growing up with you that you have a special place in my heart. hey if u ever wanna travel to my area, lemme know. i will be glad to show u around
Omg . You are a great guy. I admire you. I’m also went through the worst year ever… but getting up is a must to. Greetings.
I love seeing you happy like this. Thanks for sharing your full experience of ups and downs. I appreciate your indie spirit :)
i can't believe i've been subscribed for so long, i've grown a lot while watching this channel throughout the years so i feel i can say that i love you and it won't be weird lol.
No personal statement with nail polish. Proud of you!
Feel the same about drinking and that dating app! Lol glad you’re mentally in a safer place.
Alcohol is easy to cut out. It's brownies and sweets that'll destroy yah. Lol
I hope we get some form of the Chill Pants podcast in the future! 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I also don’t drink. I’m 24 and never have drank, I just don’t have any interest in it. It’s weird how it becomes a problem in dating/social life…. Mark, I am glad you have been able to find happiness in everything you do! :)
I’m glad you don’t give in to drinking. I personally hate how most social occasions seem, to some people, require alcohol. Unfortunately I’ve always found it hard not to drink when everyone else is as I don’t wanna be seen as a buzzkill, so I really wish more people would see that not all get togethers warrant alcohol.
I m happy to see you again I'm going to move to MEXICO. I want to be close to my roots. Living in most expensive place in the world is was good, but I'm going to be 70 years old, I deserve a more relaxed live. You are lucky to live a good life at a young age
It all looks good on you Mark! The hat and festive shirt are keepers!
So beautiful seeing you all happy, it makes me wonder and wish you all the beautiful things in life.
How do you find dealing with your mental health, personally I’m struggling, broke my shoulder and have found such normal things are so difficult and painful to do so that’s not helped my mental health, really enjoy your videos thanks 🙏
Goo to see you again mark. You look super healthy and happy and in a good space. Take care and peace and love!
I love that place and the vibes and feeling that it provides me :) I love to see you happy and get over the difficult times 💕
I've never drank. It's made me an outcast to most "gay" events. I got over that BS real quick. I'm so happy 😊 I'm proud of you!! Stay sober it's totally worth it!!
I love Mark sister. She is so genuine and sweet
Are we living the same life? I also quit drinking in my mid twenties and it makes life so much more unique. Wishing you all the best mark.
Love the honesty Marc wishing you a good summer. Jan
Great video with honest open answers. Loved the DAD ending !
You are such a nice guy always trying to see things positive!
I liked the frank candor of this video. Now that you are 30, are you still really happy with your tattoos or do you think maybe you got too many?
GoPro puppy/that's so great!!!!! Good questions!!!! I definitely sympathize with the mental health part/truth/thanks for sharing that/I'm glad to hear that you are in a better place.You are freaking awesome!!!! I love the fam/papa Miller looks very handsome/so cute in that hat/I'm digging that hat and want one now!!!! Love ya!
Age isn't a number.. but it is a guide where you should know where you are supposed to be. when you look back at your archives of experience you will know what you have explored, what works and not, what you can cut or revisit at a different time. when you are young you tend to be optimistic but at a different age, you will filter the optimism with a realistic point of view. i wish I were a youtube at my time. the archives would have helped me learn and remember.
Love the fam bam sister and dad are adorable! Glad your doing well.
It's cool how you show a very human and real vision about mental health when you share your experiences 🙌
The mic muffler worked amazing
I loved the dog shake wearing the gopro...I always wonder how my dog doesn't get dizzy when he shakes. Take care of yourself and keep on keeping on.
“ Everyday is a Great day “
If only you lived in Australia🇦🇺, your an amazing and inspiring person. Stay strong mate 💪🏻. 🤗
I really resonated with the thoughts on feelings. Thank you Mark!
Dear Mark, as always: Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Do take care of you. All my best thoughts and wishes are with you all the time. ✨💖✨
Keep movin, don’t stop groovin ✌🏽💚
Love you, Mark
Every time someone finds out I don't drink, I get questions like "did you have a problem with alcohol?" or "is there a medical reason" I wish more people could accept, I just don't drink because I am trying to be healthy. But they always seems suspicious when I say that. Like it's my cover story for some other reason.
When I tell people I don't drink I get the feeling they think, "Oh, he's boring" or "he thinks he's better than us". The next thing is, "we probably won't invite him next time". All of these are fine by me, I usually have more productive things to do anyway than hang out with drunk people.
@@8tomtoms8 i never expected people to have such a big problem with me not drinking. I've been told that i think I'm better than others more than once, it was crazy at first but Idc anymore
awesome heartfelt video Mark
Mark, nice video! How long has it been since you’re done a Q&A video? I have a question: what do you parents think about your work(vlogger, photographer, creative)? Nice that you have water in the lake you visited as most do not. Anyhow, thanks! 👍👊
WOW👁👄👁.
I don't even know the 🎩+🕶+🎤+🎽 could match with each other, THIS MUCH, and look great.
First off: not drinking is very smart! Alcohol is a depressor, and also some people NEED to drink every single day, and that’s when it becomes a real problem! 2nd: Feeling down? Willam said it best, Girl: “I tend to think emotions are for ugly people!” 3rd: any chance you would ever consider breaking up Mr. V and that other guy there? The one who talks too fast and walks too slow? Just a thought! 😂 Seriously, you are loved, appreciated and certainly enough! When it comes to dating, your bro, DJ Donnie, will probably be the one whose gut feeling you should trust (after your own of course)! Straight guys can spot a hustler/player from halfway ‘cross the county! After the tough year you’ve just had, I suspect he’ll be super protective of you! You’re a lucky guy, Mark E! You ARE loved!
Sad I missed the Q&A!
..one for the next one: What design do you look for when deciding to get a tattoo? Wanting to get my first, but I'm caught between getting a Flanders tattoo, or something that actually has some significance.
5:08 the part with her was the best one you had in many videos, kinda feels like a real uncensored part of your life
Puppy GoPro and shakes are the best!
I feel a little attacked by the Dead Cat!! Good one Mark. Glad to hear that you are keeping your mental health in order. Adult stuff is tough sometimes! Be Well!!!
I like when mark says “babyyy”
Glad you are doing well. Live long and prosper :)
Mark you rock I think you should have a Q&A with your family they seem pretty cool
sending you and this channel love energy💕💕💕
