[0:04]life it's kind of what's keeping

[0:07]me Saye right now having to sit in my

[0:09]bed so

[0:10]much thinking

[0:13]about all the experiences I'm going to

[0:15]have on this Coast long the 101 for

[0:18]years up and down this Coast exploring

[0:21]places meeting people everywhere I go

[0:24]having

[0:25]experiences not just experiences with

[0:27]the L but experiences with people that

[0:29]I'm going to interact with the

[0:32]me everywhere I go I run into somebody

[0:35]when I went to Cape

[0:37]arago there was a woman there who took

[0:39]my picture for me because she saw me

[0:41]standing at the cliff Edge and just

[0:42]looking out at the this beautiful view

[0:45]and she just she

[0:48]saw that that would be a beautiful

[0:51]picture and I talked to her for a while

[0:53]and she was there with her sister I

[0:55]think it was her sister and it turned

[0:57]out we were from the same State Michigan

[1:01]and they were cool I I wanted to be

[1:04]friends with them but I didn't think

[1:05]they ask them in the moment like do you

[1:08]want to exchange numbers keep in touch

[1:10]and i' left but I turned around I went

[1:13]back to go and ask but they were

[1:15]gone and that picture now it's not just

[1:18]a beautiful memory

[1:20]of that day and a beautiful picture of

[1:24]me it's also a reminder to reach out and

[1:28]connect that's something that we have

[1:31]lost in this in this world we've

[1:34]forgotten how to

[1:36]connect I pass my stuff oh my God I hope

[1:40]not I don't think I did we'll find out I

[1:42]don't think so though I just wasn't

[1:45]really paying attention

[1:46]so I went into town I got a couple of

[1:49]things I got some milk and I got some

[1:51]hamburger Bean I'm under to $12

[1:54]now and just going to hold on to that

[1:57]I'm hoping that my boss pays me sometime

[1:59]this week cuz my Campground fees are

[2:01]going to be due I think Saturday I'll

[2:03]have to leave I don't want to end up on

[2:04]the side of a road but this is my

[2:07]situation right now and I'm just honest

[2:09]about it and then some people are like

[2:12]get a job like it's that simple like I

[2:14]can just manifest a job in this

[2:17]lifestyle just like that but I'm working

[2:20]on it and I trust my BS I trust this man

[2:22]I've worked with them for 10

[2:24]years and I know that everything's going

[2:27]to work out but this next part of my

[2:29]life it's going to be difficult I asked

[2:31]for help nobody helped it's

[2:34]okay

[2:35]um but what's not okay is is the

[2:39]reaction I got from people for asking

[2:41]for help but it's exactly what I knew

[2:42]would

[2:46]happen you

[2:48]know the more time I spend on YouTube

[2:52]recording my life for you guys the more

[2:54]I'm reminded just how disconnected

[2:57]everybody has

[2:58]become and makes it hard because when

[3:02]I'm out in the real world let me be

[3:05]clear though this is the real world you

[3:07]and I talking right now that's part of

[3:09]it you just don't know

[3:11]that when I'm when I'm out here when I'm

[3:15]at a place like cape arico or I'm on

[3:17]whide

[3:19]beach or I'm here at Cape Blanco or I'm

[3:21]at a man had an affair with I mean I

[3:24]meet people everywhere I connect with

[3:25]people

[3:26]everywhere but for some reason

[3:31]and I get the difference you know these

[3:32]people are living they're at places

[3:35]they're at

[3:36]edges and you guys are on

[3:40]YouTube moderating your life to a

[3:43]screen I'm trying so

[3:45]hard to show you through my life that

[3:49]there's another

[3:51]way and I'm so authentic about it that I

[3:54]tell you I met this these two sisters

[3:56]and I wanted to be friends with them but

[3:59]I wasn't a little bit afraid to ask but

[4:02]I turned around to ask they were gone

[4:04]and now it's a memory for me as a

[4:09]lesson Reach Out connect

Summary

The speaker records from bed, expressing excitement about future experiences along Highway 101 on the Oregon coast. He recounts meeting two sisters from Michigan at Cape Arago who took his picture, and reflects on missing the opportunity to exchange contact information when he returned to find them. **Financial situation is critical** - down to $12 after buying milk and hamburger, waiting for boss payment before Saturday campground fees are due. He discusses the difficulty of finding work in his mobile lifestyle and negative reactions from people when asking for help. The transmission contrasts his authentic connections with people at coastal locations versus the disconnection he observes in online interactions, positioning his YouTube documentation as showing "another way" of living.
