    “The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.” - Mark Twain

    mark was from a different time when men were men and whoa-kens did not get much respect. R E S P E C T, that is what some singers mean. // myop beyond the day of birth, the next important day is finding out what Class a person is from. then if that person does not want to stay in their Class, they can read or marry Up, or marry downward. not too many families, americans too, allowed their daughters to marry downward. working hard does not add up to much in gross wages, as the Shareholder Class takes in the massive profits. Profits never ever go into the GDP as per the formula taught in Grade 10. // God Bless and Thank you for at least crediting the person u are using words from. // to paraphrase Martin Sheen's character from the movie 'wall street' (part one). 'its yourself you gotta be proud of, huckleberry' // or 'if u can keep your head about u while others doubt you', said by dennis hopper from the movie 'apocalypse now' yaba, daba, do. fred flintstone // myop the first time i cheated death, as well as each of the 3 times since, i felt like it was the most important day (night) of my life. after having read a Ouija Board Report, that contained information from 18 months in advance of the Report's date, I felt my most important dates were already known to me, but had yet to occur. it was like what happens to Paul A (of the Dune story). Paul would dream, while awake too, of things and events that were to come to pass. Once Paul lost his ability to see the future, he goes to drink the water of life. why? because once any one gets the Sight, they will want it back upon losing it. Life does not end when the dreams no longer come. rather, and most likely, the Life's pending events have been deemed Classified (by the universe, as well as by the soul and by God), so the person can live out their life (experience the events) without going insane (knowing all and then trying to change the known future (not possible) to no avail. once the decision is made, the future told, there is no other available to make, or see. losing Faith in one's own abilities to handle the challenges thrown toward oneself is the most daring fate. once a body loses faith in itself, then there is not much the body can do but await fate. // i being a star trek fan do not believe in the 'no win scenario, even in death'. IF u see the Face, then u know death is near. the Face will appear upon any item, a pipe, a cloud, a mirror, or even on a TV set screen (turned off). Not all see the Face before their ending. or they never had a choice and had to end without an escape route. // good luck and when u Purge, Purge and be well

    @@user-mi1eb7iu1p myop using the word 'because' implies another reason than a 'want to have offspring'. It is due to our mother's want for offspring. // the use of the word (mom's) implies a mom's asset. when u use the (') that means the previous word owns a thing/item/feeling. for example. My mom's anger toward me made me question why she had me to begin with. But in 1968 abortion was a coat hanger away, not a visit to a Dr's office. Post birth, my mother (not mom) lost her jobs and ever since (until her death) she held that loss against me. I never questioned God 'why i was here'. I went thru the same old problems of moving around from one home to another, all the while remaining in school. so after i finished, even University, then later college too, and some online and distance education courses, i realized My Purpose. it had not a thing to do with my mother's lack of decision to abort. It was clear to me as was the answers stated by Col. Jessep in 'a Few Good Men'. I serve a Higher Purpose. to find the mistakes of others, before they are charged with a violation of the 9th C. or worse. myop serve more than just being a slave to the Shareholder Class. do not overbreed, making new slaves for the same Shareholder Class would be a dumb white repeating move. remember, ever since reagan pushed for free trade with mexico, before mexicans made any thing more than Tourism, jobs have left usa for outside nations. so find sum coins. buy up shares and move into that Shareholder Class. leave 'mother' behind, Norman Bates. March is a Purge month. so Purge and be well. Clean Prep is a good Purging tool. it will help clean out your intestines in less than 2 hours. as said in the movie 'Beverly Hills Cops (part 1). 'the avg middle aged man may have as much as 2 lbs of undigested meat in their bowels' paraphrasing of course. // FD: my mom was a Secretary to President of Woodbine Racetrack. she slept with the son of that president, over a May 2-4 weekend, and i arrived on Ground Hog day. // my sperm dad would move to the new england area, leaving my mom without a Job 3:14 and me stuck with a life to live out. I may have had 17 prior lifetimes and was even at Jerusalem in 1099 AD, but this life time has included so many interesting technological feats. I still rather have a Ouija Board report, a weather report and a science report over all the nonsense coming out of the Republican party. LOL // question. did your mom tell u to fly overseas and look for the iraqs' wmds? did your mom demand u fly overseas and look for the bin laden? if she did either of those two, and knew she would get the payout on your death, well. that be the evidence not to trust your mother with any decisions about Your Future. // God Bless and may u find an escape plan worthy of your sitrep. as Jim Morrison suggested, 'n Body gets out of (life) here alive'.

    My mom, who passed almost 9 years ago, was a librarian/media specialist for 30+ years and loved every second of it. The ability to help people specifically with something your passionate about it is a gift worth cherishing. I could easily see you thriving in that role. Isn't there a library in Orange County that specifically has a lot of Disney history stored in it as well, that might be the perfect mix of your passions? -Jess

    i am curious. what Job did u perform to the ending of your back being able? if u wanted to work a haunted house, u could just Ouija Board a grave yard, bring the Board home and haunt your house with that Kind of ease. I do not recommend u use your own house as a haunted house. go look for a worn down building, with out living residents, then Ouija Board that house. // u know a Ouija Board can report as far as 18 months in advance, with accuracy. so be aware of the dead, for they can, if they wish to, help the living. one report saved my life, although the dead soul (that was there) probably did not want me to escape their Planned ending 4 me. little did they know whom i am (from a prior lifetime). God Bless and remember, 'work out your back and legs'.

Then a warehouse, then the woods, then the next town over had their own building! Now, there are no more JayCees in either town. The rest of us aged out. Anyway, we had a blast every Halloween!

I’ve done so many different things in terms of interests, activities and jobs, and never stayed with one thing. The point you made about being better, I think that’s what it all boils down to . As far as I can see, you are miles ahead, and don’t realize it mostly because you are so hard on yourself. All the best to you , Cris.

    Being someone who went through anxiety and panic attacks later in life, I can relate to an extent where you're coming from. There's nothing wrong with questioning ourselves in terms of what we want to do in life. It took me 35 years to narrow down what I wanted to do with my life. Even if you choose to go back to school and get your masters, you can still continue to do KZread on the side if you're passionate about it. Follow your heart.

That's how I'm looking at it. I completely understand how you feel. One thing that I try to tell myself is: No one can make you feel inferior without your permission. Hopefully this helps you.

She went back to school for nursing & knocked it out of the park! 😀 She ended up working with me! 😀 And became an OR nurse for neurology. You would’ve thought she had been a nurse for years! And then recently at 40 she decided to become a realtor & has done well with that! 😀 So don’t feel like you have to settle on one thing. You can be great at many things! 😀🤗 Follow your heart & do what makes you happy 🥰

I've spent a long time feeling pretty lonely for the same reasons (although I realize now that I will never know what I want to be when I grow up LOL). Being a deep feeler means you have strength when others sometimes don't, but I confess it can be pretty gosh darn uncomfortable. Not everyone understands how it feels. Therapy has been a huge help to me over the years, so I am glad that you are going to try it. It will get a little worse, but on the other side you will feel so much better. I've spent a lifetime feeling just a little out of step with the world and it's a tough place to be for sure. Big virtual hugs to you!

    I relate to you as being a sensitive person and picking up on others feelings and being a deeply feeling person. A lot of people with ADHD/ ADD, (myself) tend to internalize a lot of thoughts and are extra critical of themselves. I grew up struggling in school and always being a shy person until I got to know you. I understand those struggles. Thankfully I’m on medication for my ADD and it helps so much. I’ve considered therapy as well just to talk things out. I think like many have said, you can only go up from here. It sounds like you’re listening to yourself and your wants and needs. You’re on the right track and I hope after a while, the thought of therapy no longer makes you nervous but brings you a sense of peace and calm, something to look forward to. If you’re open to sharing, I’d love to know if you found it helpful and if it made you feel better. Not to share anything personal, but if it was a good experience overall. I look forward to future videos. ❤ I hope you get a little R&R soon. 😌

    Hi Cris. We all struggle with the same thoughts you have. I have to say you really shine in the video subjects you are most passionate about; plants, clothing, decorating and your metaphysical interests. Go with the things you love and share those.😊 I am 68, I went back to school and got my associate degree in health science at age 40 . Worked in that field for only a few years, then did some other jobs for a few years. Started my own business in 2010 and loved it. Finally closed it in 2019. Then I got my health insurance license in 2021. I think I finally found what I love, combo of sales and helping people. It took me a lot of years to get to this point. But I've had some great jobs and fun in the interim. We all feel like we're just floating through life at times. The best job is anything that you can do what you love and you're passionate about 😊 It's all OK ☺️

I never went to college but I did take a nutrition program and got a certificate that I felt like "I never used" for awhile. But any time you spend learning is beneficial whether you end up using your knowledge professionally. Took me awhile to accept that. Keep learning Cris, about yourself and the world. ❤

    Incredibly powerful video, Cris. We are so incredibly proud of you; it takes a lot to admit when you know you can't do it on your own anymore and you need to speak with someone. Our channel's "motto" from the beginning has been "what's your why?" with our hope of helping people understand why we do what we do, and hopefully help them figure that out for themselves as well. Life is a journey and because we're life-long learners, I don't believe our "why" is ever set it stone. I definitely think that it has the ability to change. We're brought into certain areas of our lives in certain times for a specific purpose (and sometimes that's to reach specific people) and then for some, that never changes, while for others that may only be a season and then they feel called to something else. You have an incredible ability to empathize with people and to speak to everyone on a level where they feel comfortable and can relate to you; not to mention, you have an audience size where you're truly able to make a difference. So, while you might be your own biggest critic, just know that you are doing an amazing job and are helping a LOT of people- Zach

    I remember being in my 30s and having such a midlife crisis type of feeling. Uncertain of where I’m going and contemplating my life choices. Don’t worry, that passes. Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans. What we think was the master plan is usually not what happens and even if it did, we wouldn’t be happy with that. Try not to white knuckle it so much. Relax, take a breath, and ride this crazy roller coaster out. Some parts are rough, but a lot of it is amazing! Even more amazing than if we had tried to plan it out.

    I personally think you’re doing a great job. But this personal video is definitely relatable as I feel most people question what they are doing and if they are good enough. You’re not alone in your journey. It definitely doesn’t matter what you do as long as you’re happy doing it. This is called life and there is so many ups and downs.

    Cris I think we all feel this going through life. Just remember its the trip and not the destination. Just try to make the most of your life that you can and try to find enjoyment and joy in the simplest things. In the end, that is all that really counts. I have found that my thinking has changed every 10 years of my life. Now that I am retired, I look back and see that many of the things I thought were so important were not really that important. You have heard it before I am sure, but, life is short. You will not believe how quick it went by when you are my age. Just enjoy yourself, enjoy Jay, and live life..... You don't need to be a social butterfly either. Not required.... Just having Jay, your family, and a real friend is better than knowing a ton of people.... Keep up the good work. I really liked your College and good luck with your therapy. I think I could use some of that too and really think we all could.....

    Thank you for your vulnerability to open up and share on such a relatable topic about the human experience. Evolution and expansion are inevitable and we never have it all figured out. At any age. In the words of Abraham Hicks; “if it doesn’t light you up, it’s not your path.” I’m in the process of reinvention as well. Leaving behind a career of 20+ years and shedding identities that no longer serve me to allow joy to lead the way whether it makes sense or not. We’ve been told our whole life to make choices based on fear and lack disguised as practicality. But what is the point of our life if we are not having fun? We are not here to fix a broken world or to struggle. We are here to experience magic, joy, love and our true power. To following our bliss, Much love and heart hugs ❤❤

    You're absolutely right. There is nothing wrong with taking your mental health seriously. I started on my mental health journey almost two years ago, after suffering alone for the majority of my life. I've been in therapy almost a year, and I am so thankful I took that leap and decided to try it. Best decision I ever made.

    For the little I've known you, I know how much you enjoy doing the KZreads so I knew you weren't going to quit (I also know it isn't a possibility to not quit like you said in todays video or how it hasn't crossed your mind,) but I'm glad you started to realize that there needs to be a work/life/tube balance. You're important and you and your body deserve that rest and mental well being. You're being proactive and "nipping it in the bud," as they say. And I'm very proud of you for seeking out that help. It's such a taboo subject that needs to be talked about more. I also saw today's video and was nervous for you (as you were too,) but omg, yay for it going really well!!! You know you and Jay are always welcomed on our resort days over at the Wilderness Lodge if you need some R&R by the pool. Just reach out, I'm always around . And can't wait to see you soon. Oh! Not sure if this could be some encouragement but I have 5 librarian friends and they absolutely adore their jobs. It's the calm in this crazy world when you're able to help and connect others to such wonderful stories in books. I personally don't think it's too late but respect your mantra of "everything happens for a reason," but def search deep in your soul if you ever considering going back to school. Anyhow! Y'all enjoy your trip in MO! Been loving the pictures on the grams. 🖤💀👻
