Why I'm Lonely & Sad

[@jasonlee19790]

👍👍 I’ve been saying for years to people, “i am happy and content, until my phone rings or someone knocks at my door”

[@sharonholmes2470]

Me too! 😅

[@KATHYMIKE6870]

Mike, we feel you said it ALL by stating that “without God and The Holy Spirit is why society has gotten so insane” Mike, we could not agree with you more our friend! Be safe and Happy and we are so appreciative that you place God so highly in your life! Good Video and good thoughts within it! 🙏🤗❤️

[@vickis2582]

Aww, the peacefulness. 🌞 You've got what most desire!

[@tmapes1989]

In some ways. Loneliness sucks!!! Everyone needs their own space though!!!

[@1sillygirl380]

About 20 years ago my dad had to pick up a cash drawer from a cashier. He placed his hand on her back to put space between them . She made a sexual harassment complaint against him. He wasn't fired because the video showed what took place. He was however, transferred to the graveyard shift. He was humiliated because it was an innocent move. I'm having a difficult time with the changes that are confusing. Mike I agree with you on so many levels.

[@ejs6010]

Your property has that SW beauty. I loved your pause for the Scrub Jay. Society is spiraling out of control. Just continue loving your peace and quiet, and your love for God.

[@Bigal0522]

Great video Mike. I rarely leave comments, but I noticed many of your current vid's u are of u being upset about the negative comments. This saddens me because i can see how it affects you. I've been watching for years, and u can do no wrong in my eyes. I think the best defense from the negative comments is to ignore them!! focus on the positive. Amen!!

[@Angel-xh9hq]

Amen Amigos, this subcribtor hit the nail on the head, blessings from me.

[@donkisler3538]

It's fake Mike. Here is the lowdown but still you are correct about our society in general anyway. This article about "Cassidy Boon" suing the swimmer who rescued was not a report of real-life events. It originated with the satirical web site The Stately Harold, which carries the following disclaimer on their "About" page identifying all of their material as fiction: "The Stately Harold is a satirical website. None of the stories have a grain of truth to them and the opinions do not belong to real people." Likewise, The Portly Gazelle, which republished the fictional story, characterizes its content as follows: "Disclaimer: All stories on this site are satire and the opinions expressed do not belong to any real people. If persons appear in the picture they have nothing to do with the story." In addition to supposedly publishing additional articles written from the perspective of a straw feminist, "Cassidy Boon" maintains a Twitter account. The photograph used both for that account and her feminist articles is identical to that of a webcam model who uses the handle FreckledFox. The fake Cassidy Boon articles bore similarities to earlier hoaxes involving a woman who purportedly had an abortion after learning the fetus was male, and another that included the (fake) Twitter account of a disgruntled black McDonald's employee named Bubba Conroy.

I’m a country boy from Ga.. I tried to find a peaceful place to live. I bought some land at the end of a dirt road. I didn’t get far enough away from people. I got some bad neighbors. I’m trying to find my peaceful place and I’m not having any luck. Everything is so expensive and most places will not let you do your own thing. They have a lot of restrictions. I’m glad you found your happy place. My search continues.

[@tmapes1989]

You can't get away from society. People have tried since the dawn of man. Even if you are rich, you have to deal with people!!! The trick is to only deal with those you want to or have to. Hope life gets better for you!! God bless!

[@artmatthes3559]

It's amazing, but I tried the same thing. And it's too bad we can't pick our own neighbors. I've been at my place 22 years and I have 3 acres. And I've talked to my neighbors Twice. And that's all I care to talk to them. Because i'm not perfect but I think they're idiots, I've watched and heard some of the things they do. And I can't stand it. It seems so hard to get out of that. But I agree with mike. He has a lot of good common sense. And I thought I was the only one that thought like that. Take care. And god help us all.

[@maebellaakamaegirl190]

Thanks! For Sharing This Video With me. And also you gave good advice.❤❤❤

[@artmatthes3559]

Well mike, I just wanna tell you. I'm seventy four years old and i've been listenin to your videos and watchin you when you had your truck camper, And I have to say that you're one of my favorite sites on youtube, I was a party, Last Christmas, and there was a lady there. That was a camper, And I asked her she've ever watched youtube, And I told her my favorite site on youtube was living free. I told her that you were Mike. And you had a lot of common sense. And you want to live just? I think how we're supposed to live today, And every time I watched your video. I came back with a smile on my face and it made me feel better. And right now, I've always wanted to live like you live. But I'm an old guy now and I always tell these young guys. Don't wait, Because I did. And I can say that now. And I live in Michigan so I can relate to you living in Minnesota. I lived in Arizona for about 2 or 3 years down there. In Phoenix and I did not like the heat. I loved it up North. Were you lived? But I was married at the time and that was back in the eighties, So now, two years ago I went to the hospital to the doctor and I have blood cancer and I was just at the university of michigan last wednesday, And this is saturday night. And I thought I would just write you a short little letter, How much I appreciate the way you think and I try to play this for other people and they don't understand, Which I don't understand why they don't get it. But i'm with you a hundred percent. I just don't like society today. I do have 4 acres in the country, but I have a house and I have to take care of this place and it costs a lot of money right now. But that's the Avenue. I picked 20 years ago, but if I had to do it all over again. I would move way up in Michigan and I would try to get 40 acres. With no neighbors nobody around. And it's not that I don't like people. I just don't like society. But I just wanna tell you every time I watch your video. It puts a smile on my face. Because I don't have a lot of time left in my life. But it's the little things that you say that put a smile on my face. And I think i'm not that wrong about things when I listen to you. So thank you for posting things like that. It does help a lot of people. I believe mike. And if I'm ever up in Arizona again in my life. I would like to visit you. You seem to get along with everybody that you meet, and it's a breath of fresh air. And you talk about that thing about opening a door for a woman. I did that one day and she looked at me like I was a piece of scum. Like, what do you think you're doing holding that door open for me. It was unbelievable. But I always tell people this, I wasn't born with a attitude. So again, thank you for posting things like this on your site. It does help a lot of people. Take care and god bless you.

"Men value a woman's past. A woman values a man's future." Wow! That's powerful Mike. Loved this video.

Mike you do you and we will watch. You make me smile and glad to know your outthere surviving and happy 😊

[@marcellajohnston743]

Mike, I can handle being alone, it's the loneliness I hated. I got a dog. He was the best gift I've ever received. ❤️ His name was Milo. His passing was so sad. I recently got a puppy who's full of anxiety. He's helping me get out of my own head. Men aren't dangerous! Feminists are.

[@tmapes1989]

Sorry about Milo, happy for the puppy!!! You have love to give and so do they!!!

A coworker was having a heart attack. Another coworker from pharmacy brought her back to life CPR. Squad came, she was in hospital for awhile. When she came back to work, she was mad at the coworker who saved her life. Because her ribs were bruised. Very ungrateful.

[@yuccarunner5386]

I agree wholeheartedly with you...Please continue to share your ideas ...

[@debrabaker9351]

for both women and men have integrity, loyalty, be truthful to yourself and others and be respectful and kind to others. I agree that society as a whole is broken. Always know if you're happy and content in your surroundings care less about what others have to say. You do you!

[@wendyford2252]

We live in a world where your right love has waxed cold. People are just so mean to each other. Please people just love each other. Jesus loves you.

[@robertgerhart5369]

I agree with you I lived in Phoenix for 41 years. I recently moved to (Vernon) Arizona probably close to you. I’m happily divorced twice. I don’t hate women. I’m a happy outgoing person, but I just want to live a simple easy-going life, which takes a little bit of work, but I just feel so much better. I don’t even know how to describe it so yes it’s not for everybody! look around, You’ll see nice houses around here. You’ll see really crappy RVs and dumpy properties. That’s the way we all wanna live!!!

[@deneensnell6136]

Mike I'm with you 1000% , this world is nuts. The tranquility you get from beautiful property and the peace and quiet is just right for introverts like you and me! Let them keep the cities and all that comes along with them. I love men, you all are amazing. but I love my tranquility with my dogs even more right now. They never did me wrong. ❤

As usual....you make alot of sense & you have alot of common sense!

[@jimrodda]

Mike, as an older 70 year old I was brought up with manners and respect to all, I held a door open for a woman who followed me into a shop and she just walked in and said nothing so I said " thank you " and she said " fuck off " and there was another incident when an older man offered a woman his seat on a crowded bus and she accused him of misogyny,

[@rvingkeepitrolling8797]

Wow I'm from the old school I always say thank you when anyone holds a door for me don't stop doing the right thing God will bless you for it. I find the younger generation just all think they're owed something and no manners or common sense either.

[@miloryan1]

👍👍👍👍Mike you have the right idea! Whooo !!!

[@karenedwards8946]

I really don't understand what is happening in this world any more, just ridiculous

[@kevinhildum9186]

I do have an idea why things are happening in this world the way they are and it is to divide us so that they can conquer us so they can control us so they can diminish the population. As consumers we are consuming so much that the elites will not have enough for their grandchildren's or grandchildren's grandchildren to able to survive on planet Earth.

I love my country life , could never live in the city agian. I grew up in the city and loved it, would not change how I grew up. But the world has changed so much would never go back. Country life with closest neighbor far away. ❤

[@suzyhayden8643]

Made a lot of sense!!

[@lisagreenleaf3859]

I give you a thumbs up every video. I'm old fashioned. I love the door opened for me and to be treated like a lady. I raised my son to be a gentleman. He's 40 now and I'm proud of how he treats others. People are so selfish nowadays. I'm with you. I'd rather be where you are. You have "common sense" which isn't so common anymore. Keep you focus on the Lord. Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers. I'm praying you'll find a sweet Christian lady that God has for you. 🙏 ❤️

[@tmapes1989]

Too many people looking for 10's!!! I'd be happy with a 6, with a good personality, a great sense of humor, that can cook!!! If I was single!!! LOL

[@barb736]

Like watching ..and learning things your doing on that land, Im buying in Sligman AZ and I want to some day live on it..thank you for all you post!

[@therealMelB]

I absolutely love your property and your visions on what you plan to do with it. We live on an acre homestead albeit not out in the wilderness, but closer to society per se. We've planted fruit trees, have raised beds, and 4 gorgeous doodles that patrol our perimeters LOL!! My daughter lives in a suburb in the beautiful PNW. Her apartment complex is stunning, with gorgeous views and a rooftop recreational area. All young techies, very peaceful. I love visiting the city, walking around in the am to buy fresh bread, coffee and the nightlife is extraordinary! There is something to be said for BOTH worlds 🌎 😉 If you are happy, thats all that matters. Peace & love Mikey ❤

I'm 51 year old woman. I live in an a RV. I am over relationships. I can't deal with it. I totally understand what you're saying. It's called manipulation and it goes both ways. I've learned my lessons. And a story goes both ways.

[@billbradley2480]

Same here. I’m 66 and plan to stay single until this life is over or until Jesus returns.

[@tmapes1989]

Single is fine, but alone SUCKS!!!

[@debralane7408]

Yep, common sense is out the door and was not to love about your beautiful property. You’re with nature you’re with God it’s beautiful. Yes I want to stay away from people. There’s so much nonsense out there. That’s why I like to be by myself. My husband passed away in 2007 and I’m 73. I’ve been by myself for a long time and I like it that way I like going for walks so I like looking at trees I like picking up rocks, I like I like nature and my best friends my cat and my dog you’re doing good Mike hang in there and God is with you

[@billbradley2480]

I agree! Life is much easier being single. We’re obviously in the last days because corruption and evil is rampant everywhere. Relationships don’t last because almost everyone is immoral, selfish and living in sin.

[@rvingkeepitrolling8797]

I'm 63 and love the peace I have of being alone although it's hard at times.

[@rvingkeepitrolling8797]

[@davea221]

Hello there! Hi everyone! I agree with you life is beautiful but is difficult to deal with most things that are flooding us on a daily basis. Not easy at all. To keep your sanity is good to have conversations with good people and they are still plenty out there. God bless and stay safe!

[@maebellaakamaegirl190]

👍👍👍 I AGREE WITH YOU 💯💯💯 THIS WORLD. HAS GONE CRAZY!!!!

[@melvahaley7096]

Mike is very wise. I have always warned my son about these women who want so much but don't care about real life. What it takes to be with someone day in and day out. And this good value comes from love you learned from mom and god. Loved this . Melva in California

[@onetjeffersonsplace]

I envy you escaping this messed up society. I see so much craziness on a daily basis it wears you down. My town was a great place to live back in the 80,s and 90,s but now it is overrun with drugs. Overrun with angry rude people. Overrun with people who don't respect elders or authority. I'm getting ready to make my great escape as well. Keep doing what makes you have peace of mind. Pay no worry to those who don't get it.

[@sjayne27]

Satan has certainly had his way with this world, unfortunately. I try every day to bring Jesus back into it as much as I can.

[@billbradley2480]

Yep Jesus will return soon. The Bible says we will know the season. We’re in the last days.

[@kayjay5974]

[@davidg.johnson7208]

Not all people are like what you pictured. Yes, in places like big cities, many people do not care about others, but in smaller communities where they get to know their neighbors, they are caring. This past 3 months I have traveled throughout Arizona and Nevada in .my solar camper van, looking at off-grid land to buy. After 3 months I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to spend the rest of my life on a parcel of desert land that the dry, hot heat feels like being in an oven! I thought of planting lots of shade trees, but that will take years, and what if they don't grow? Sure, I would get away from crazy people by being on remote land, but I would miss communicating with the nice and friendly people. I am considering buying a lot in an RV park that I can choose to attend events with other like-minded people.

[@alicecoppers8980]

I agree! People want everyone to agree with them or else. What happened to "to each his own". I love living alone for last 30 years and Love being left alone. Quit worrying about what people think about you....enjoy yourself. Life is short. Time is not on our side. Yes, how your opposite sex parent teaches you about sex/ life, equals how you will treat the opposite sex. My father was extremely abusive. But my grandpa was the most wonderful man I ever met. When I was young I figured if they didn't beat me, they loved me. later I took my grandpas lessons into my heart and test every one who tries to befriend me. Few pass

I love your strength, I live my husband's strength, he's my protector.❤ we love you

[@rvingkeepitrolling8797]

Mike I'm a a 63 year old female and I've been married 5 times and I agree with you to a point there was 1 out of 5 I was at fault for there's bad men and bad women out there and sometimes they just have issues like my 3 daughters dad while I was at home taking care of twins and pregnant again he gave me trick after years of him running around and him staying with an x wife that he remarried not divorced from me I left he then left her went to Florida where he married another woman not divorced from me he had kids all over the USA and a few from Vietnam while married to his wife well prior to me I think my girls has found up to 26 brothers and sisters 😂 so it's not always both faults. I do take responsibility for the one I messed up and it was all my fault so he has no blame for that, but usually both are involved in it not working not willing to give and take. There's few good men or women out there these days I've been single 10 years happily. Maybe one day you'll find the right one and like you said you can't go by looks that's where most men and women make their mistakes at.

Here's a story for you. I left my house Wednesday morning 5:00 a.m. would be back Saturday. So I get home on Saturday, The front door looks different My key doesn't fit, why? Because Wednesday afternoon somehow my wife locked herself in her own house😂 WTF! So my wife has to go to work. 28-year-old daughter is here dealing with the lock with a helpful neighbor. They proceed to Jack the door up replacing the lock twice, still didn't work 😂 The neighbor tells the wife, the door swelled and got stuck, it's a f****** steel door 😮 Where's the old lock? We don't know?? Wife tells me the deadbolt was bent. So what she saying is she slammed the door with a deadbolt out and broke the f****** lock. But we don't know what happened 🥸 And don't forget, when the neighbor took the old lock off he peeled the pain on the f****** door, so here I am with the razor scraper strip in the f****** door down. Thursday the light goes out over the stove, oh no. Did you think to change the f****** light bulb, nope. I'm sorry, but if the world was left to women they'd be f****d ✌️
