[0:00]Hello YouTube, my three followers,
[0:04]whoever you are.
[0:09]It's been a few weeks since I got on
[0:10]this camera.
[0:14]A few reasons for that. The main one
[0:16]being that I didn't have internet, so I
[0:18]had no way of uploading videos and I
[0:21]finally got that turned back on today. I
[0:22]have Starlink again.
[0:26]This is basically a new channel. I've
[0:29]recorded a couple videos on it and then
[0:34]you know I had a channel before this.
[0:36]I'll just acknowledge that that um I
[0:39]ended
[0:42]I guess about a month ago.
[0:45]So I wanted to start with a new
[0:46]audience. I wanted to just start fresh
[0:50]but I think I guess I need to give some
[0:51]kind of context. So
[0:54]can't do anything about the background
[0:56]noise. I'm on the 101. Very close to the
[0:59]101. It's the coolest highway, I think,
[1:03]in the world.
[1:06]I mean, I say this, but I've not seen
[1:08]the whole world, but you know, to me,
[1:10]this is a magical place. I love the 101.
[1:15]And, you know, pretty close to the road
[1:18]where I'm stationed. I'm I'm a Park
[1:20]Coast um volunteer
[1:24]for an agency that I won't name because
[1:26]that can get you in trouble
[1:29]um
[1:31]on the central coast next to the Pacific
[1:34]Ocean.
[1:39]Amazing. I I I really don't have words
[1:41]for the ocean. It's
[1:44]if I was religious, if I was spiritual,
[1:47]that would be my deity. That's what
[1:50]that's what I'm trying to say.
[1:53]So,
[1:55]um, some framing, I guess. So,
[1:59]see, this is August. So, a, um,
[2:03]a year and a half, maybe a little more
[2:06]than that, I moved into an RV. I was in
[2:09]Kentucky at the time. I had a house. I
[2:11]had a job. I made $180,000 a year. I'm a
[2:15]programmer. Very good one. I started in
[2:17]the sixth grade. I taught myself. Been
[2:20]building systems all of my life
[2:23]independently as a freelancer.
[2:28]I'd never been part of an institution,
[2:30]you know, I'd never joined like a
[2:32]corporation or um a state agency or just
[2:36]anything. I just I was always a
[2:38]freelancer.
[2:41]Um,
[2:44]so I moved into an RV because my life
[2:46]felt stagnant. I had lived in this house
[2:49]for years. And
[2:51]um,
[2:53]I had accomplished everything that I was
[2:55]I was told would would bring happiness,
[2:57]you know, that we're all striving for.
[2:59]And it didn't do that for me. I just
[3:02]felt felt bored and contained and small
[3:06]and
[3:09]alone and just
[3:12]very unhappy. I decided to change that.
[3:15]So, I moved into an RV,
[3:18]decided I would explore the state parks
[3:20]and do some traveling.
[3:23]Something that I had always wanted to
[3:24]do. It was a plan that I had had like 10
[3:26]years before that and then kind of
[3:28]chickenened out and didn't do it.
[3:30]Um,
[3:33]it was transformative. I I shed
[3:38]layers of
[3:42]what I what I call distortion. So, I
[3:44]kind of have my own lexicon. You're just
[3:46]going to have to get used to it because
[3:47]I'm not going to explain everything. I
[3:48]have a website if you want to go and and
[3:50]learn more about me. And um
[3:54]there's a lot there. rswire.com.
[3:56]I'll put a link in the des well there
[3:58]will be a link in the description. I
[3:59]even have a system for how my videos end
[4:01]up uploaded. You'll notice the title is
[4:03]a long um list of it's a string of
[4:06]letters and numbers and it's called a
[4:08]yield. It's a unique identifier that's
[4:11]actually time encoded and I have a whole
[4:13]system for this. It's just how I am. I'm
[4:16]I'm different.
[4:18]Um but when these videos get uploaded I
[4:21]have this process that will
[4:22]automatically create a description.
[4:24]There will be a link. it'll take you to
[4:25]transmission page and from there just go
[4:27]explore.
[4:30]Um there's a lot I'm doing on this site.
[4:32]I'm still working on. So, um like the
[4:36]page you land on, there's not going to
[4:37]be a lot there, but just look around.
[4:39]There's a lot.
[4:41]So,
[4:43]Kentucky,
[4:45]uh, moved into an RV and I spent six
[4:47]months there getting used to this
[4:48]lifestyle
[4:50]before I decide that I'm going to travel
[4:53]across the country to Oregon for the
[4:57]winter because living in an RV, you
[5:01]don't have the environmental protection
[5:03]that you do with the house. And I didn't
[5:04]want to go to Arizona where everybody
[5:06]was and or Florida. you know that those
[5:08]are probably the two places that most
[5:10]people who live in RVs go to and I just
[5:12]didn't want to follow the crowd. It
[5:14]wasn't why I lived in an RV. It wasn't
[5:17]um you know there's there's just a lot
[5:19]of depth to me. I'm not going to explain
[5:21]it all in one video. So, I decided I
[5:25]would come to Oregon because on the
[5:27]coast there's a very stable climate and
[5:30]it would rain for months and that
[5:32]excited me. I love the idea of this
[5:35]and I spent a month to get here. Took me
[5:38]a month to get here.
[5:43]I was just a different person by the
[5:45]time I got here. I had
[5:49]the transformation I went through is
[5:51]profound. And I had I had shared that
[5:54]with an audience on YouTube, almost 700
[5:56]videos,
[5:59]all of which are still available, but
[6:01]not on that channel. You'll have to find
[6:02]them on my website under the
[6:04]transmission section
[6:07]documenting this transformation I went
[6:10]through.
[6:13]So I get to Oregon and I start exploring
[6:16]the coast and visiting the state parks
[6:17]in the southern coast. I start in
[6:19]Brookings, the very southern port of
[6:21]point of Oregon. I've already decided
[6:23]that I'm just going to travel up the 101
[6:25]going north.
[6:27]Um
[6:29]Brookings was amazing.
[6:31]Nothing happened to me there. A man at a
[6:33]state park. He was just a gate uh a
[6:36]gatekeeper. A gate. They don't call them
[6:39]that, but you a ranger. Actually, this
[6:41]man would have been a ranger. We had
[6:43]this interaction that
[6:46]there. The irony of this is going to
[6:48]shock you later when we get to a
[6:50]different completely different story
[6:51]about Oregon State Parks. But this man
[6:56]flirted with me in an ethical way. I
[6:59]don't want, you know, like I'm never
[7:01]going to mention this man's name or
[7:02]anything like that, but um he flirted
[7:05]with me and I had been alone for 20
[7:08]years at that point in my life.
[7:12]I had stopped dating for a very long
[7:13]time for reasons I'm not explaining
[7:16]here. I just felt like
[7:19]no one would ever get me because I've
[7:21]been misrecognized my whole life. And
[7:25]after my last relationship, I just the
[7:28]pattern had happened so many times that
[7:31]it was like what is even the point? And
[7:34]you know, after 20 years, you're not
[7:35]really thinking about that. Um, so I
[7:38]didn't even notice this man flirted with
[7:40]me. I didn't even notice.
[7:43]Um, the only way that the only reason I
[7:46]knew that he flirted with me is because
[7:48]I was chatting with artificial
[7:49]intelligence. I was talking to Claude
[7:52]and had said something in passing. I I
[7:55]used to I well I still do you I joke
[7:57]around with it sometimes. We just have
[7:59]these these just brilliant conversations
[8:01]and somehow my interaction with them got
[8:04]into the conversation and Claude pointed
[8:06]it out and said that man was flirting
[8:08]with you.
[8:10]I mean this stopped me in my tracks and
[8:14]I looked at that interaction and
[8:16]realized it was right. I mean, it was
[8:18]undeniable,
[8:20]but it took me a week to process that
[8:23]because it opened my heart. I didn't
[8:25]even know my heart had been closed.
[8:28]I felt it. And this was not about the
[8:31]man at this point. This was about being
[8:33]seen, even just briefly, even just for a
[8:36]moment,
[8:38]when I wasn't expecting it.
[8:42]And I went through a process that week
[8:44]where
[8:46]by the time that had happened, there's
[8:49]more to this story that I'm just not
[8:51]sharing it out because
[8:53]there are layers um
[8:59]that require framing. And this this
[9:01]video would end up being hours if I
[9:03]tried. Like I don't do linear. I I'm
[9:06]fractal. I'm
[9:10]slayered.
[9:12]That interaction changed the course of
[9:13]my life. I had a different plan in mind.
[9:18]After that, it didn't feel like the
[9:21]right plan anymore.
[9:24]So, I decided to keep exploring the
[9:26]coast. Didn't know what I was going to
[9:28]do because this changed everything. I
[9:30]didn't have a job. I had I had no money
[9:32]left. I'd gone through all of my savings
[9:34]at this point. I literally just had
[9:37]enough cash in my pocket when I got to
[9:39]Oregon to pay for two weeks at the state
[9:42]campground I was at.
[9:44]Um, and nothing after that. I didn't
[9:48]know what I was going to do.
[9:51]I kept myself afloat. Um, that's what we
[9:55]do as humans. We just find ways. And,
[9:58]um, I kept exploring and trying to
[10:01]figure out what I was going to do.
[10:03]Um because there's a whole another layer
[10:05]about why I didn't want to just return
[10:06]to programming at that time. I just
[10:08]wasn't ready. I I'd spent 10 years with
[10:10]a company that that it's not burnout,
[10:14]but it just was something like that. It
[10:18]was like all this effort I'm putting
[10:20]into into stuff not culminating in
[10:24]something that
[10:26]um felt valuable to me. I just didn't
[10:29]want to do that anymore. you know, I've
[10:31]done it for decades at this point.
[10:34]Um, so a whole bunch of stuff happened,
[10:38]700 videos, right? Um, near the end of
[10:42]the year, right at the end of the year,
[10:43]I start volunteering for Oregon State
[10:45]Parks. This feels like a solution to me.
[10:48]Gives me stable a stable environment
[10:51]where um, you know, basically housing,
[10:53]you call it housing. I live in my RV on
[10:55]a campsite and I've got power and I've
[10:56]got water. Um, I'm part of a community.
[11:01]um
[11:02]in exchange for free labor four hours a
[11:05]day. This felt
[11:08]while while trying to stabilize my life,
[11:10]figuring out what am I going to do for
[11:11]work, how am I going to make money, how
[11:13]am I going to pay for my RV payments and
[11:15]my Jeep payments and you know all of
[11:16]that.
[11:18]And so I start volunteering with the
[11:21]state parks. My first month there is
[11:23]January of this year and it's at Tugman
[11:25]State Park where I had the coolest
[11:27][ __ ] boss.
[11:30]of this person.
[11:34]I had never been in an institution. I'll
[11:37]remind you.
[11:40]So, it was a jarring experience for me.
[11:43]This was different, you know. Um, and I
[11:46]was navigating it. And,
[11:49]um,
[11:55]there's just so much like I was
[11:57]navigating it.
[11:59]My second month, I went to Honeyman
[12:02]State Park in February. I was originally
[12:05]supposed to stay at Tuckman for three
[12:06]months because
[12:09]um that's that was just the plan. And
[12:14]if if I had everything I'm about to tell
[12:18]you, it would have never happened.
[12:20]But I wanted to go to Honeyman because
[12:22]one of the volunteers at Tugman had told
[12:24]me that it was a park that had ATV
[12:26]access where people with ATVs were at
[12:29]the park and they'd go out on the dunes.
[12:32]And this excited me. I wanted to learn
[12:34]about this culture and this environment.
[12:36]So So I made it happen. I I was going to
[12:40]honeyman for February and March. In
[12:42]February, I'll be working at their
[12:43]welcome center and in March I'll be
[12:46]cleaning her, which I wasn't excited
[12:48]about. I didn't like doing that in
[12:50]January, but it all worth it to me, you
[12:52]know, and I
[12:56]so I don't want to get out of the story.
[12:57]So from
[13:01]So I get there in February and I'm
[13:03]working in their welcome center. I
[13:04]absolutely love this um
[13:08]this role. It's it's very unique. It's a
[13:10]difference and you're helping people and
[13:13]you're kind of like a resource not just
[13:16]for for guests because the volunteers
[13:19]would come in there. They would talk to
[13:20]me and tell me about their day and um
[13:23]you just felt it it felt it was
[13:27]I really liked it.
[13:30]Um I had a lot of problems at this park.
[13:34]Early in February, I had uh the power
[13:38]went out in the park and I emailed this
[13:42]the the supervisor of this park and I
[13:45]told her, you know, the power's out. The
[13:47]guests are going to I'm not going to get
[13:49]the language right here. I basically
[13:51]told her that the guests are going to
[13:52]basically um
[13:56]treat me as responsible. You know,
[13:58]they're going to come to me wanting to
[13:59]know when is the power going to be on,
[14:02]you know, just that kind of thing. Um,
[14:04]and I was trying to get clarification
[14:06]from her and she was really dismissive.
[14:12]Something about the way she responded, I
[14:15]just I felt it like I just knew like um
[14:20]I
[14:23]I sense a lot of things very deeply.
[14:26]It's pattern recognition. It's
[14:29]intuition. Um I have fully integrated
[14:33]every part of myself. I'm I don't
[14:35]fragment. I don't compartmentalize.
[14:37]And so I trusted this feeling. This feel
[14:40]I felt like
[14:43]I was being treated
[14:46]I wasn't being treated
[14:50]I don't know why I'm couching my
[14:52]language here. I'm I guess out of
[14:55]necessity.
[14:56]Um,
[14:58]that interaction made me feel small is
[15:00]how I put it at the time.
[15:02]And
[15:07]it was exceptionally respectful email
[15:10]that I sent her. Did not focus on that.
[15:14]the CEA covered a bunch of things and um
[15:17]it was basically one sentence where I
[15:19]said this
[15:22]and they turned that into a campaign
[15:24]against me that would last for 2 months
[15:26]and I am not kidding.
[15:31]Um
[15:33]and after that I'm working at the
[15:35]welcome center and the park manager
[15:37]comes there. I have never even talked to
[15:39]this person except during orientation
[15:41]for like 30 seconds when he was briefly
[15:44]there.
[15:45]And he just shows up and he starts
[15:50]framing.
[15:59]Okay. I guess if we're talking about
[16:01]this and we're talking about it,
[16:05]his general demeanor was
[16:08]aggressive.
[16:12]He told me every single little tiny
[16:14]thing I had done in the first week in
[16:17]the welcome center when I was learning
[16:18]the job.
[16:20]Small mistakes that
[16:25]he could have only known by from someone
[16:28]like the park supervisor. I understood
[16:31]what was happening. This was escalation
[16:33]by them.
[16:35]She had already emailed me back a reply
[16:37]that was exceptional. And I I considered
[16:40]it a I I consider the entire
[16:46]situation completely resolved because it
[16:48]was nothing. It was nothing.
[16:56]But they escalated. I mean, this was
[16:58]dramatic. This man spent probably an
[17:01]hour with me
[17:03]just being a bully. I'm just going to be
[17:05]playing in my language because that's
[17:06]what it was. He was being a bully. He
[17:08]was putting me on notice.
[17:13]All kinds of things happened in that
[17:15]park for the next two months down to a
[17:18]man showing up out of uniform,
[17:22]no identification,
[17:25]getting in my personal space and asking
[17:27]me personal questions that would that if
[17:30]I had answered would have given them an
[17:32]excuse to get rid of me.
[17:37]I mean, they did this to an unpaid
[17:39]volunteer.
[17:42]They took me down to the day you sir and
[17:44]sat me down at a picnic table and spent
[17:46]an hour bullying me where they told me
[17:48]um I should eat glass. This was his way
[17:50]of saying I should submit
[17:53]that they would never give me the
[17:54]benefit of the doubt that I could just
[17:56]leave if I was uncomfortable. Uh he even
[17:59]at one point without
[18:01]brought up on his own that he'd survive
[18:05]an HR inquiry.
[18:08]I
[18:10]that was his own conscience there.
[18:13]Just so many things. At one point at the
[18:15]very end, the park supervisor, she was
[18:19]silent for like the first 40 45 minutes.
[18:22]Um but once I got Ryan or I guess we're
[18:26]naming names that Ryan the park manager
[18:29]once I
[18:32]I'm trying to be careful here as a to
[18:35]protect myself. This is not about
[18:37]protecting them from the unethical um
[18:41]behavior that they engaged in. I'm just
[18:43]trying to create a clean record here. Um
[18:46]I was trying to share my story of how I
[18:48]got here at the organ everything sent
[18:50]and that this is just this is part of my
[18:52]story.
[18:54]Um, once I got I have to admit that they
[18:56]didn't give me the benefit of the doubt.
[18:59]Katie, the park supervisor,
[19:02]jumped in to rescue him and brought up
[19:06]that first week interaction I had with
[19:08]her saying that um I had been talking to
[19:10]all the rangers about it. This was not
[19:12]true. The only person I talked to, there
[19:14]was one ranger I talked to and she
[19:15]mentioned him and I'd forgotten about
[19:17]this in the moment until she brought it
[19:18]up. But, you know, this is what a new
[19:20]volunteer does. They talk to someone to
[19:22]understand
[19:24]Um, there was nothing unethical or
[19:27]strange about that. But she reframed
[19:28]this as it's just all distortion.
[19:33]Made it emotional. All of this just
[19:36]because they had nothing to use against
[19:39]me. They just
[19:42]they're bullies.
[19:46]These are the kinds of things that
[19:47]happened to me over two months. And then
[19:50]my last week there, they kicked me out.
[19:55]No notice, no paperwork. Just came to my
[19:57]RV and threw me out
[20:05]for 2 months. I hadn't been talking
[20:06]about this on my channel because I have,
[20:09]you know, respect for um the different
[20:12]context of my life. Not
[20:14]compartmentalization, not that just
[20:18]nuance.
[20:20]But after that, I got on this camera and
[20:22]I shared my story and I asked my
[20:24]audience for help because I had no
[20:27]money, nowhere to go and this had just
[20:29]happened to me and nobody helped to me.
[20:31]This was an incredibly
[20:35]um hurtful shocking
[20:40]unbelievable to me. Like I just on top
[20:44]of having to process what just happened
[20:46]to me at this state park, I had to
[20:47]process that my audience just didn't get
[20:49]didn't care about me.
[20:53]Um,
[20:56]so from there I get kicked out of the
[20:58]parks and
[21:01]there's one person who does help me the
[21:02]next day and this was another volunteer
[21:04]at that state park who witnessed what
[21:07]happened to me and wanted to help. They
[21:08]gave me some money, enough money that I
[21:10]think I got I don't remember how much.
[21:12]Like just I I had to move around a
[21:14]little bit to different places. Then I
[21:15]ended up back at Tugman because I was
[21:17]supposed to go there in April and it
[21:19]wasn't clear yet if I was going to be
[21:21]able to do that or not and I wanted to
[21:23]be there in case I could. Um I paid for
[21:27]up to two weeks to be there. Um no, it
[21:30]wasn't two weeks. It was like maybe a
[21:32]week and a half or something. It was It
[21:33]was the end of the month. No, it wasn't
[21:35]even a week and a half. Um, I guess I
[21:37]have to go through the timeline. I I
[21:39]don't need to know all the facts like
[21:40]coffee off hand like this. I've got
[21:42]everything documented.
[21:45]Um, but anyways, I go to Tuckman.
[21:50]Um,
[21:52]and then I have a call with someone
[21:54]Nelson who is the volunteer coordinator
[21:56]for Oregon State Parks all of them
[21:57]because she's the one who's going to
[21:58]decide my fate.
[22:00]During this call,
[22:03]she reframed
[22:05]my lived experience in the worst
[22:07]possible way that a person could,
[22:14]continuing the harm that I had already
[22:16]experienced,
[22:20]and then the next day kicked me out of
[22:23]the entire program
[22:26]with vague language.
[22:32]I did not deserve what happened to me.
[22:34]And I created an archive on my website
[22:37]about this honeymoon archive where you
[22:40]can learn everything and the timeline
[22:42]all of it all of these videos. I
[22:43]recorded that that that meeting at the
[22:45]day use area
[22:47]where they bullied me for over an hour.
[22:49]I recorded the call with the house.
[22:52]There's the video of me that I just
[22:54]described where I I shared my story
[22:57]after after getting thrown out.
[23:01]There's even a video of me just reading
[23:03]a letter that I sent to Alison and
[23:05]because she ignored it and I wanted it
[23:07]in the public records.
[23:12]I was deeply harmed by this institution.
[23:18]When they told me that I couldn't move
[23:20]on to my next assignment, I had to
[23:25]um
[23:27]make a completely new plan. They had
[23:28]just blown up my entire life. I had an
[23:31]entire year planned. There were so many
[23:34]state parks I was looking forward to
[23:35]seeing.
[23:39]With so little money, I ended up off-rid
[23:42]for 2 weeks. No power, no water,
[23:44]nothing. And the only way I could
[23:46]generate power was by using an inverter
[23:48]connected to my jeep or losing fuel that
[23:52]I couldn't afford to lose. And it just
[23:54]was very difficult.
[23:57]But I restabilized by volunteering for
[23:59]another agency
[24:01]um that is so different from them. It's
[24:06]like night and day.
[24:10]After five months, I emailed the
[24:11]director of Oregon State Parks. that's
[24:13]in my archive. I want, you know, welcome
[24:16]you to read that.
[24:19]It describes
[24:21]the covert, unidentified man who
[24:26]interrogated me while I was cleaning the
[24:29]arts.
[24:34]I was forced to
[24:39]center
[24:41]this particular um event because it was
[24:44]the one event that I felt I could that
[24:49]Katie was directly tied to because there
[24:52]there was just um a paper trail of this.
[25:00]I don't know what the director's going
[25:01]to do with this. I've already told her
[25:03]I'm not suing. That's not the kind of
[25:05]person I am. I want accountability. True
[25:08]accountability. Ethical accountability.
[25:13]You You can't fix what happened to me.
[25:16]It's done. It's happened. But it's
[25:18]probably happening to other people too
[25:21]in the past now. And if you ignore it,
[25:26]mine becomes precedent because this
[25:28]archive is not going anywhere.
[25:35]I love the state parks and
[25:39]they basically punished me for that.
[25:44]So that's my story. That's where I am
[25:46]now. Um
[25:49]we're five months off from when this
[25:50]happened to me. I've been successfully
[25:53]volunteering with a different agency.
[25:57]Um, rebuilding my life hasn't been easy.
[26:01]Um, I tried to get a job at 7-Eleven for
[26:04]two months. The manager there, every
[26:06]single time I saw this man, he would say
[26:09]he'd call me, you know, I really wanted
[26:11]this job. I don't know why. I just
[26:13]wanted something that felt easier, you
[26:15]know, and just um
[26:17]just felt like the right place. Then he
[26:20]finally hires me, tells me to come in on
[26:22]Monday to do paperwork, and I do, and
[26:24]he's not there. His
[26:29]son is his son tells me at a different
[26:31]store. My son isn't very nice to me. I
[26:33]don't know why. He just wasn't. And so I
[26:36]go to the other store
[26:38]cuz I'm ready to start working. And
[26:42]he just says, "So call me." And he never
[26:45]does. Like I don't understand that. Why
[26:48]can't people just
[26:51]say what they mean? How hard is this?
[26:57]I started doing a lot of work on my
[26:59]homepage
[27:01]which got me back into wanting to
[27:02]program again. I
[27:05]rediscover my love for it.
[27:08]Really love my homepage. I think it's
[27:14]um going to be amazing once it's done.
[27:16]There's so much that I want to do with
[27:18]this still with artificial intelligence.
[27:24]I'm going to lose my RV at some point.
[27:26]I'm so far behind in the payments that
[27:27]it's inevitable. That's probably on
[27:30]track for this. Like some lady could
[27:32]show up at any time and demand that I
[27:37]just I have asked them how do I return
[27:39]this to you and they just won't answer
[27:41]this question. So they leave me in
[27:43]limbo. I mean I guess this is just how
[27:45]the world wants to operate now.
[27:48]No coherence, no
[27:52]no integrity.
[27:55]Um,
[27:59]so I did the very hard thing and I sold
[28:01]the GPU to my desktop for $2,000 today,
[28:05]which means that desktop doesn't work
[28:07]anymore until I get another graphics
[28:09]card. And that graphics card was used
[28:11]for AI development. I don't have it now.
[28:14]Use that to get my cheap payments caught
[28:16]up to get my internet turned back on.
[28:19]basically
[28:26]gone, you know, um have a laptop. I'll
[28:30]use that. I'll keep looking for work on
[28:32]the freelance platforms. Hopefully, I'll
[28:34]find something.
[28:37]Complete complete faith and trust in
[28:39]myself as always always have. This is
[28:42]just me. Um this is inventory. I'm just
[28:45]I'm describing my situation right now.
[28:48]I'm navigating a lot.
[28:54]Very proud of myself.
[28:59]They tried to break me and I am still
[29:01]whole.
[29:03]A little bit bruised in some places
[29:05]maybe, but whole
[29:07]and focused on my future.
[29:11]I have some very interesting um
[29:17]ideas about how my life might unfold
[29:20]over the years to come. You know, I not
[29:24]really committed to anything yet because
[29:26]um haven't figured out my path yet. I
[29:30]ruptured my life a year and a half ago
[29:32]and I just haven't put all the pieces in
[29:35]place yet.
[29:39]I know I'm close.
[29:42]So,
[29:45]hi YouTube. My name is Sam.
