Eldon, I came across your KZread via the Six Flags community and I’m so glad I watched this one too. Hearing you speak on your childhood and family experiences helps with healing, and as someone who also came from a kinda similar background, I found this comforting for me. Thank you for your honesty and sharing. Happy to be a new subscriber. Keep On Keeping On! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you!! I'm glad you found me as well 😁 I'm sorry you had a similar childhood like myself. I'm glad I can help you with healing and be by your side to help you get through it. I think we're a rare breed because I know so many people who suffered from a rough childhood and aren't living their best lives. My main message is that no matter how bad we had it when growing up, we always have a decision on what kinda person we want to be as adults. You and I turned out alright 😁 Thanks for the comment!! I hope to hear from you again! 😊

@@Eldons_Excursions thanks, we did turn out alright lol! 🤣 tbh I’m still dealing with a lot of aftermath and adjusting to the trauma in adulthood and romantic personal relationships. Overall despite a tough childhood, I don’t think I’d have been raised any other way. It made me who I am, and a lotta people suck and can’t hang. Little did I know I would need that tough skin. Thanks for responding! Real recognizes real or something and your channels got heart. Happy to see your channel growing! Congrats on 2k+! 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for sharing your story. It’s very humbling and you should be so proud of yourself for where you are in your life today. It’s very inspiring and encouraging because it’s a reminder that no matter how hard life gets, you just have to keep on pushing and never give up. That’s why I strongly believe in always showing kindness to others everyday because we never know what someone else is going through❤️

Yes exactly! Those experiences shouldn’t define who we are. They should be the stepping stones, to make us even stronger, which leads us to who we will become.

Wow Eldon, thanks for sharing a bit about your past, although I am very sorry to hear of your mom and sister. That had to be alot to handle as a young kid. It's hard to lose a parent, especially at a young age. Glad you overcame the tortures of childhood and living in foster care. From all you've been through, you persevered and are well on your way to a happy future! Keep doing what you're doing and inspiring others through your videos. It's always cool to walk down memory lane and reflect on the good ole days while growing up.

Thanks man!! I appreciate you a lot. I definitely managed to get through the crazy obstacles in life and managed to live a pretty decent life. I just kept my head up and knew that I didn't want to live like she did. I want to live and be the happiest I can. Starting a channel and meeting you and so many more great people was one of the best things I've done. Thank you again, seriously.

Thanks for sharing your story. You should be proud of how far you've come! Keep all those people near you very close and keep moving forward! Your KZread family is here for you 😄 Also, I find it very interesting how someone can live in an area and never meet certain people lol. Like, i grew up in pittsburg, moved to antioch, oakley, and now concord, and I've never seen u before in my life 😂😂.

Thanks Mari for the great comment! 😊 I'm so lucky to have all of you. I never thought I'd have so many supportive people on here. I'm so glad I got on KZread. We have lived pretty much in the same area lol maybe we just crossed paths but never made a connection. Welp, here I am! Lol

Did we all have the same childhood? Watering the plants hahahahaha. Much love Eldon. Our parents were basically kids raising kids lol

Haha the older I get, the more I realize more people out there grew up like myself. Which is great because people like yourself can relate and know where I'm coming from. Yes, hahah I watered the plants. Had no idea what they were lol but I made sure they were watered 😆

@@Eldons_Excursions I’m starting to think that people are all differently the same 😆 ain’t none of us had “unique” childhood experience hahaha. I’m a different race from you and we had similar backgrounds regardless. So I understand what you were saying 💯

Wow you been through a lot. I was by raised my older sister who was so much like your mom. My mom passed when I was 3. My dad was always at the firehouse in SF. I was 8 walking through what I thought was a forest. She lived in the domes in Pescadero. I think living the life we lived makes us who we are today. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s really interesting and sad. I lost my sister due to alcohol and 2022. Martinez is really pretty. I agree vallejo has gotten real bad 😮

Thanks CC!! Yes, I definitely agree. Growing up, the way we did with loss and with the independence we had really made us stronger people today. You definitely lived a similar life like myself. Like you, I also wish I had grown up with a loving mom, but unfortunately, that's just the life we are dealt. But you grew up with an awesome dad! Sometimes, they make up for the loss 😆 Thanks again CC!! Much love ❤️

I know pretty much I raised myself. I miss my brother and my sister and my dad. It’s been kind of weird without them here you know. Thank you, Eldon. Much love to you too.🙏🏽❤️

Eldon, you have been through alot in your lifetime. Things that I feel sure still hit and hurt deep, but you should be so proud of who you are now. You are a much wiser person from your experiences. You just keep doing good and the best you can and life will always work out for the better. Thanks for sharing your story. What is the name of your brothers utube? I can not find it, would like to follow him too.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment ❤️ Yes, you're absolutely right. Sometimes I forget what I've been through and how fortunate I am to be living my best life. I beat myself the worst, especially when I fail at something. It all reflects on my passed. I'm still working out the wrinkles lol but I stride to stay happy and keep my head up high. My brothers channel is Crowinmojavedesert, one word. Thank you again Mary!!

I'm sorry for what has happened in your family. Me and my family has had some bad issues with drugs some of us are clean now and have been for 8 plus years
