    Johnny is one of those rare people who you just want to be around because his vibe is so strong that it radiates out to those around him. Johnny, you have a strong future in absolutely anything you choose to do. You could be a paid mentor for others getting them out of gangs if you wanted to and your clients would follow you anywhere and have mad love and respect for you. When I was in the life, you would’ve been someone I followed out of it. You could change lives in a positive way man.

Blessed with a supportive family and made my decision to move forward and leave that behind me. Although I wasn’t raised in a family of gang members. My environment neighborhood and friends heavily influenced my path to follow that route for numerous years. Any one in that life can relate to Jonny. I feel his aura of being how he is who he is.

    Johnny! YOU ARE NEEDED. Everytime you speak, everything you share, my heart opens to the point of bursting. I think that's the gift, the miracle for all of us, is to have our hearts be opened throughout our lives. And YOU are one of the ones that have the ability, just through sharing yourself with us, to give that very NEEDED gift to us. Your like a human defibrillator. I have so much gratitude for you. And feel the same about Mark. I love at the end when you talked about the relationship and space that you and Mark share together. It's truly a sacred space that cannot be touched and I'm so very grateful for the opportunity to be invited there, when you make it available to me/us. You ARE loved and so many people, from all walks of life, LOOK FORWARD to YOU, Johnny, sharing on this channel.
    Who you are MATTERS.
    What you do MATTERS.
    YOU MATTER.
    Thank you to you both, from the middle of my heart.

    They say your life is either a tragedy or a comedy, I believe Johnnys life is a tragedy. This might be a hard pill to swallow, but Johnny's adversities gave him a bigger purpose. A purpose to share with the world the wisdom that he got while on his path of life. There are smart people because they're knowledgeable, and there are smart people because they have wisdom. All that wisdom that he keeps sharing with us, is priceless. I was once told by an old man if I knew what was the "difference between going to school and life?". He told me, "In school you're given a lesson then you take a test, In life you're given a test then you learn the lesson". This is a prime example of that. Keep your head up Johnny, people are rooting for you.

    First Johnny interview I’ve listened to - I’m going to go back listen to his others tonight. Interesting guy!
    Edit: I’ve invested countless hours listening to these interviews, and sometimes I wonder why, because I don’t come away feeling uplifted, I feel deeply upset that so many children endure horrific abuses, and do not get their basic human rights met from day one.
    Johnny when you expressed how peoples comments on your interviews made you feel, how they lifted your self worth, and how you felt loved, I think that really resonated with me. I’ve found myself so many times, wanting to hug, comfort and express genuine, simple love towards the interviewees, because the humanity in me sees the humanity in them. Sometimes I wonder what we can do to help and I think, that listening, and truly seeing people for who they are is the first step, because this fosters empathy and compassion for our fellow men and women. Your appreciation back to the audience really lifted my spirits and stuck with me today. Your a legend!

      I have been out of prison for 13 years now, and I try each day to forget the hard times that I've been through. Then I started my own channel to show people what is possible if you put your heart into something good. I'm not rich (not even close) but I own my own business and live very comfortable. I have a wife and family who I love and adore. And when I see these stories that went the other way I just wanna talk to them and say "anything is possible, don't give up". Everyone writes the ending to their own story, so no matter where you come from don't forget to look ahead to where you are going. Bless

    Johnny is a very talented guy. Hope he gets his storage situation sorted, it's a terrible thing to happen to someone. Total respect to him for keeping his cool, knowing what he could have done, pure restraint. He knows hard struggle but is a real survivor, a well educated man. Hope he gives up the life and finds peace. Pleasure to listen to him.

    This man is proof that we are products of our environment. Cannot overstate the importance of a healthy, love filled childhood. Sadly, most people on this channel have been cruelly deprived of such an upbringing. Being a good parent is the most important job in the world.

Please keep Jonny as a regular guest. I am 23 years old and I have taken so much wisdom from his words and has had such a meaningful and positive impact on my life.
    Much love, Jonny. Thank you for sharing your life stories.

    I've been working as a drug and alcohol counselor and support worker for close to a decade, after being a poly drug user (mainly meth though) for 12 years. The recurring theme with long term addicts and people in the lifestyle is the same. Lack of connection. This series is important in not only raising awareness of those still in the struggle, but to also give them a platform to see and possibly connect with more people. What Johnny said at the start was heartbreaking and indicative of that need for connection,that never in his life has he felt that kind of love. Stay strong Johnny, you are loved homie.

    Mr. Johnny,
    I've listened to 15 of your interviews thus far.
    You've taught me a lot and increased my understanding, compassion, and empathy of other socioeconomic situations I may never have otherwise encountered.
    Your brutal and unapologetic honesty is evidence of your integrity and character. I am honored that you chose to share your story.
    I admire you and your purpose.
    With that said, may I please say that this is the first time that I have heard emotional pain in your voice.
    If I could, I'd give you a big hug. Can't help it, I'm from the South (FL, MS, AL).
    I care and love you too.

      I’ve watched/listened to EVERY vid you’ve given. From the first vid I was blown away. I look forward to the day YOUR vid drops. It’s always a nice surprise. And believe me, I wonder EVERY day if I’ll ever see you again. “Will this be his last?” “Did Johnny get got?
      Today started out good…You know why? …Not because it’s Friday. Because when I woke up for work, the first thing I saw was A NEW JOHNNY VID!!!…Work is over, I’m watching now. I saved it. 👍🏻
      Dude, I’ve shared your SWU vids with so many people. I’ve posted your vids on other, large, forums. I am a Patreon member for Mark’s SoftWhiteUnderbelly (in large part) thanks to YOU.
      You’re giving us the goods Johnny. Good things can be yours. Good people are seeing you Johnny. I only hope you can love yourself enough to reap some of the rewards of what this might bring to you. Stay as clean as possible. Let yourself accept some help from the people who’s lives you touched through these vids.
      Love (no homo) and

It's not hard to see that your knees are starting to buckle under the weight of your life and all that comes with it. I can't front and say " I know where you're coming from dawg," cause I don't. Only you know the steps that have worn down your soles; but know that by you telling your story you really are helping others. Stay strong brother man..! Sending big love and positive vibrations to you.

An incredible story arch of what letting shit out will do to your own thoughts of yourself and the way you communicate with others.

    @CaroleMora22 2 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    The interviews and personal testimonies on this channel are so amazing, and this one is no exception. Johnny has articulated the reason this channel is so powerful. So many, too many, individuals have been emotionally neglected, abused and abandoned in various ways, and these things, more often than not, seem to set a person up for addictions and sadly, the continuance of the cycle of abuse and neglect. Intergenerational trauma is the result. So many people have degrees of PTSD or C-PTSD, of various degrees. This channel is bringing to light an extreme social and humanitarian crises and I'm sure is going to contribute to needed changes in the social system. I don't know how or when, but clearly, based on other comments I've read, this content is resonating deeply with many people who care and want to live in a better, caring society. Thank you, Johnny, for adding your voice and your story--you matter, and I'm certain you are going to turn your life around.

Man some of the stuff said just speaks deeply to me when I watch. Been helping me to stay clear and sober off the clear, but I'll never say I'd be fully committed to sobriety my whole life. I won't want to let people down in the long run. Stay safe people peace and love go do something good today and everyday.

      Same. At 15, 18, 20,&22 I told myself I'm too young to say I'll never do drugs again, everytime I went to treatment I put in the work but that reservation I kept is a big reason I went back to the black n clear n street life. I was doing the best I ever had 6+ months clean, job n my own pad not much but it was mine. I'm 25 now n when find my way back to somewhere to get clean I won't be making that mistake again, but that's just me n my experience. Crazy thing was my tolerance was still up there I got a 10min high from Fetty n a bowl of clear the first few hits n I was back to maintaining chasing that high like I didn't stop. Keep it up homeboy, ain't missin out on nothin but bullshit n drama n the lifestyle dope brings.
