EJ was acting. He was never in foster care, he wasnt on the streets as a minor, he knew good and well at the time of the original video that his medical history would prevent enlistment in any military branch, the name he gave is the initials of his sister and her boyfriend at the time who were letting him stay with them. His parents and stepparent are still alive, or were at the time of the video at least. He tried to pressure me into moving weed in an illegal manner until i ended the phone call (to save his own skin from his arrest) and talked shit to me when i refused again. The man who took him off the streets and set him up for his current success hired him as an escort. The channel knows he's lying and doesn't care because they got their poster boy.

Secondly, why's there so much hatred towards a woman that did nothing wrong, even if she left her child, that is the best thing for her to do for her child. What else is she going to do? Wonder on the streets and watch her child starve to death? Regardless of what happened, can we just appreciate that this woman is trying to share a bit of inspiration to others right now?

I'm 26 years old and life has been turning out good for me despite the beginning of my young adulthood, I have a common law wife now to, have a child on the way, and I will make sure my child will never experience what I had to go through in my early years, I will make sure my child will experience a childhood like any child should.

Pain demands to be felt. Once you feel the pain your life will change. Drugs don’t help you at all, they just dull the pain, which doesn’t help you feel the pain, it just delays the pain for later and in fact actually increases the pain you are going to have to feel. So feel the pain that you have right now, because it will only get worse if you wait.

I had it been back more than a month when she kicked me out on the street I was 13 gonna be 14 at the end of the summer I literally started sleeping outside park benches the mountains we live by the mountand friends cars staying out with friends in random friends house's couch surfing of course I was working at a grocery store. And I talked to my best friend's mom who allowed me to stay at her house however the brother got very upset and took my paychecks every week so I stayed broke I had no money for nothing feminine products shampoo food Nothing. It's really hard to intend to end up moving in with the cousin they were smoking crack every week it was horrible horrible experience I'm autistic and attention deficit and that was something that I was not into but was forced into. My mom heard only to take me back only to kick me back out not even a day or 2 later that was the last time I I trusted my mom would help I had to drop out of the 10th grade and that I'm afraid ended up getting GED. By 19 I was gonna kill myself i couldn't find a reason to go on it was a horrible life. I had men in their 30s wanting to be with me when i was underage. Give me free cars and places to live but because I was molested in abuse at such a young age because my mom allowed the men to do whatever, I was scared and rather live homeless. Then in those 4 situations... That's where one of my biggest mistakes came when I get up getting pregnant. I went to college and got an AA. Only to be abused by the father I left him for someone else only to be abused by him I left him for someone else only to be abused and have another child by him. I ended up getting BA...blood, sweat and tears, no matter how hard I tried I could not change the abuse that was about to take place for me and my Children, I did leave after 10 years with cancer, A trash bag of clothes for my girls and nothing else. I ended up moving in with my cousin I couldn't get out of the bed 4, 6 months that's when we found out I had cancer. It was a surreal situation I was in my late 20s early 30s when this happened. I was able to make it out of that only to be continually abused by the last father of my child, because he continued to fight me for custody, Because he came from an influential family he was able to continually abuse me on the girls. My girls turned on me eventually calling CYFD stating that I was abusing them. You name it..they accused me, so they could tranp around-the-clock, After 12 calls I stopped counting. I finally left that town moved on and started to accelerate really well for myself, I taught special needs kiddos managed a coupke for stores. I worked none stop for years, bought a used car,, payed it off right away and got a loan for a house..which I have been in since 2019. Since than I was always renting rooms ..as the rent is crazy here with low pay. Both of my girls turned out to be addicts. One of food, alcohol.and drugs, she is trying to pull herself together and 1 is super addicted to fentynal and sex. I currently raise her son. Last year because all of the stress I almost passed away again and needed to have an emergency Hysterectomy I have carried God with me in my heart and have always still tried to be the best person that I could be and keep moving forward. You have to learn how to love yourself because once you learn that no one can stop you.

[@Sapphireemberss]

I hope seeing this is a reminder to everyone watching to be kind to the homeless. Even if you don’t offer them food or money, a friendly smile can go a long way also. What is insignificant to you, whether that be a few dollars or bags of groceries, can mean so much to them.

[@JoeyB0b]

Yeah, go smile at a homeless person when they are asking for food/money. It won't look like you are looking down on them at all.

[@djmateo7134]

You're right. I've been there. You get so used to people looking down at you sometimes a smile goes a long way.

[@isaiahayers1550]

I always feel so awful smiling when I don't have anything to offer them. Their situation is nothing to smile about. My initial inclination is to smile until I think more about it.

[@ausrine4689]

I’m a university student but I usually feel less happiness and excitement than Daniel does... One of his quotes to remember: 11:55 ‘I’m trying so hard to be happy I’ve trained myself through all this time to just... you are happy, you’re gonna be happy, there are things around you that you can be happy about, even if no one else is doing it for you, you’re good.’ He’s such an inspiration 💛

[@KayraR1221]

Pain comes and goes, it's like being sick, it's only temporary. So when you do have a good day you need to really really remember to be grateful, to take notice of all those good things, and remember those feelings so that on your bad days your motivation to keep going can be knowing that you'll have those good days and good feelings again.... but no one ever has happily ever after and that's okay... its just up and down, but if you work really hard and create balance you can be down less often than usual

[@timharper4246]

Having purpose and meaning enables you to have something to lean on when times are rough. Happiness comes and goes constantly so it's unwise to gauge your success on it. Just enjoy it when it happens. When you have a purpose in life, you have substance. A reason to get up in the morning.
