I grew up in Poverty but My grandma made Christmas Miracles and Birthdays Suprises I still have no ideal to this day how she did it. Started working at 15 and been working every since. Humble beginnings just make you appreciate everything you have now and everything in future. It always important to remember where we been so that we can know how far we have came.

Hi Jacob. Glad you were able to get out of shed, and able tp get back in your home. Also leaving y 6:53 our job to make videos, vlogging, was best move you could have made. And you meet Jenn. She is your perfect match. So happy your together. Please keep making utube videos. Also I heard there is new museum in Pittsburgh PA. Called Museum of Illusion. I know you go to that area. I'm a subscriber. Love you and Jenn. 🎉❤❤😊

Jacob, thank you for sharing more of your story. I am still living in the town I have lived in since 1973 and I take rides to where I used to live, I have been feeling nostalgic a lot lately. I actually get goosebumps driving by some houses where they families have passed away. Also the love of my life (passed away in 1982) asked me out on a front lawn on one of the houses that have new people living there. I am so glad you and Jenn found each other!

I know that people say that changing location doesn’t really change your life. But sometimes I think when you already want to change. That location just really fosters that growth. Because I had the exact same thing happened to me about eight years ago when I moved to Florida. And that was just from Alanta. But all of a sudden I felt like I became my true self. It just fits so much better. no no I was so unhappy before. it’s crazy to me that, we think people are adults 18 because really until you’re like 25 or 26. You just haven’t lived long enough and experience things in an adult world to really live out on your own. I do the same thing with laughed at 18 but. I feel like it takes longer for people to mature. also, my family has a house up in Highlands. So crazy. I haven’t seen this area in the country in a couple years. Thank you.
