Is this the only content shared or is the interview longer? If not this video breaks my heart. Why are we making this lifestyle seem so glorious like some kind of achievement. Look at the destruction all around. Why aren't these individuals coming back and sharing about all the destruction caused & the horrors . Why aren't they sharing about lessons they learned from the mistakes they made. Why aren't they sharing how they turned their life around and what it took to do that. Why don't we show them making it their mission to keep children off the street. Share about that. This just baffles me.
