My mum is currently very ill with cancer and im extremely lost. watching your video was the first time in weeks, even for the 12minutes, where i wasnt in pain with grief and fear. Thank uou, mark

[@emmyy5267]

I’m so sorry to hear that

[@Euphoric_R]

Wish your mom all the best. I hope she gets well.

[@eusaboston]

❤I’m sorry to hear about your mom

[@TimGamble]

Sending good thoughts your way. ❤

[@AB-lw3gl]

sending you love and hope❤️❤️

[@pantherdeville]

I feel that often our quest for intimacy and romance leaves us feeling unseen, misunderstood, lost... And we so regularly forget that we possess that intimacy or closeness in so other connections and in so many other relationships outside romantic ones. With people, nature, sometimes your own mind… Mark, thank you for another masterpiece that enlightens and inspires :)

[@Ekanas]

It’s great to see happy glowing Mark 2.0, it’s like the old Mark 1.0 but slightly older, more mature, a lot wiser, a lot stronger but still young at heart and still charming! Good for you!

[@kyledotnet]

Love the return of “everyday is a great day” still have my sticker on my laptop from 6 years ago 💖💖

[@evalis28]

Same 😊

[@StanChris]

People are the best thing to happen to people ❤ love that

[@aaron199654]

In the dance of hearts, let our love be the rhythm, and every moment, a melody that whispers the sweet symphony of romance.

[@mikededmon]

My favorite line from a film is in "Fried Green Tomatoes" when Jessica Tandy is asked, "What's the most important thing in life?" and she answers, "Friends". Makes me cry every time I see that scene.

[@nickbond8102]

Needed this today. I appreciate the weekly vids returning, I know that's a lot of work Mark.

[@anthonyjulien]

Thanks for always bringing the positive vibes to your videos Mark ☮️

[@alex_gonzalex]

Thanks for opening up Mark. I really appreciate you sharing your insight about the difference between romance and intimacy. It resonated with me. Just sending you a virtual hug, and I am so here for this next chapter you are embarking on.

[@kodyjbosch1]

Thanks Mark. I'm glad you're Happy. Though it seems life has been good for you for a long time. Every video just shows more Abundance and one thinks a guy couldn't glow any brighter then he does ! Also, so impressed with you taking a leadership position in this video. Not just as an advertisement for therapy, but prompting the question what is the difference between Romance and Intimacy? Which I think is a very good question for our community to be asking. I've done therapy off and on since I was a teenager and it has been Transcendental. I signed up for Better Help a couple months back after a youtuber who makes mechanical art recommended it. KZbin ads just usually bounce right off me, but I appreciate the reminder about online therapy. I hope that it can circumnavigate some of the problems of an IRL counselor (who are overworked / burned out but the only thing one's insurance will pay for...) - I feel like we are all growing up together. Thanks for what you do :) . P.s. I'm glad Olive has recovered, as a dog dad myself I can understand the trauma of having an injured / sick dog. Have a good week. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@DonnieWin_]

One of my favorite movies is : Leave it on the floor. It’s a independent film/musical. I related to the story line and the songs were 🔥

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Mark is just the sweetest guy. Great energy. I only wish him great things and some joy in his journey. We all need that.

[@carlosalenduran4630]

So so true.people in our lives is important the best part is that we get to pick them.

[@ezelldaniels6064]

This video was so amazing brother! ❤ keep up the great work Mark. 🙏🏻

[@steve701a]

Red, White and Royal Blue. Very romantic movie.

[@ryanmeehan3844]

Reminds of a quote from greek philosopher Aristotle. He said, “Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual.” Man cannot live alone.

[@jiml5049]

Very relatable topic, thanks Mark. Lessons in Chemistry speaks to being alone in the world until you find the kind of relationship that clicks for you. Highly recommend.

[@feitocomfruta]

One of the first and most profound things I learned in therapy, centering around past trauma from bullying, was “people are not inherently bad.” No one was born cruel and malicious, or as Liam O’Brien said as Caleb I the Mighty Nein campaign of Critical Role, “you were not born with venom in your veins, you LEARNED it.”

[@hayofray]

Saltburn was an excellent film. Also I didn't think I could live in an apartment with bars on the window but I took it out of convenience and it was the best place in the end. I still miss it.

[@rihardsgrislis]

For whatever reason, I was putting off watching your videos for more than a year. Glad I changed it with this video. Cheers Mark!

[@pangeyi]

THe flow ~ the wave ~ @Out.There.

[@dancoll8166]

Mark, your videos always make me feel "centered". I love you, Dude! I wish for you the absolute best that this life can offer the beautiful person that you are.

[@tee_mills9801]

Followed you for a long time and love your content and the warm feeling it has is definitely contagious. Keep living and loving mark. ❤

[@kevinmackey7134]

I'm watching my favorite Christmas Movie, which is the Family Stone. I watch it every year after Thanksgiving.

[@akbizzle1]

David Holmes: The Boy Who Lived, on Max. A very inspirational and moving documentary.

[@brennanbooth1388]

I always love your videos. You manage to find beauty in everyday things and that inspires me. Thank you so much, Mark.

[@Maincourse19]

I love the casual talk of the lessons you have learned and just life stuff really. Some of what you say is really insightful and love listening. Cheers!

[@rommusic88]

Hi Mark; your work is so heart warming. Stick to your happiness and focus. You’re doing great 😊 onwards and upwards!

[@rak39k]

The Triptych on Netflix sooooo good

[@pedromessias465]

This is the result of someone that either has gone to or is in therapy. You break down a lot of social constructs set up by society and media, you peel the layers and layers of years of our lives reaching to the actual issue/feeling/trauma that then allows us to heal and everything after just feels better. I've been going to therapy for about 1.5 years and it has changed the way I think, the way I see things and as an adult it just enhances our understanding of things. And a huge thing is separating feelings and logic, even if we logically (with our head) shouldn't feel a certain way, if we feel it we feel it and there is a reason for it and there is no problem with that.

[@TysonASMR]

Good luck with your apartment hunting bro. I feel like you can instantly tell if it’s a place you’re gonna love or not based off how you feel right when you walk in. Go with your gut. You seem happy so I hope the move has been great ❤️

[@katiewilliams5643]

Thank you mark your videos have been healing for me holidays are hard for thanksgiving and Christmas but your incredible and it makes me feel much better when I watch your videos everyday is a great day with you I hope I can meet ya if you come home for the Christmas holiday or new years your amazing sending you love thanks mark

[@jalilbrown3153]

Ex Machina, I’ve always seen it on various streaming services but never went forth and watched. Beautifully directed, really holds ur attention and has been on my mind for weeks since.

[@andreabatteast3736]

I just watched the new Hunger Games movie... ten out of ten would recomed!!

[@SeeAsInChad]

My favorite movie: The Sixth Sense. It inspired me to be a filmmaker when I watched it back in 9th grade.

[@Mark_Richards_NZ]

I love your videos and have been watching for years. This video resonated with me as I have been feeling very much the same as you as I am single gay (older) who had been romanticising over someone but a few months back got the reality check when he said that the feeling was mutual. We are still the best of friends and share everything and your link to intimacy has helped me understand that little more. He’s recently started dating and I love seeing him happy but it hurts so friggen much. I am lonely as ever and trying to put things into place to get out and make social connections but struggling to do so. I have cried more in the past few months than I have in my lifetime. You video had me burst into tears but only because it helped me realise that I’m not the only one with these feelings. THANK YOU for helping me see that it is not me, it’s the situation, and it will get better. ❤❤ (from another Mark - it must be something in the name).

[@greggusto]

I hadn't heard someone else talk about this experience of needing human connection but I think during the pandemic this was something that became harder for a lot of people. This video helped me understand myself a bit better. Appreciate you sharing

[@TimesOW]

I’ve been to Cali so many times but your days there always look so fun. Also, you have always seemed to be a social butterfly, always have been an inspiration for me to be as social as I can be. Super happy to see you so happy ❤

[@summerwithmike]

Resonates so much with me! Love your openness and authenticity. Welcome back to California!

[@DerekDoeing]

I recently got around to seeing No Hard Feelings with Jennifer Lawrence. I love when actors can bounce back and forth between serious roles and really comedic ones and she nailed it. These weekly vids are so fun, Mark :)

[@generation4ever]

I missed that intro more than i thought. It was just now that you kinda reminded me of „Grandpa Reads the Comics“. You both share the unique skill to make people feel better in an often complex and scaring world. Thx for that :)

[@DAPortalatin]

I love that so much!!!! So true! Also, congratulations on the move. I really admire your courage and taking action to make a positive change. California is absolutely beautiful. I spent about two weeks there a couple years ago and I never wanted to leave. On top of the scenery, the energy and people are just so good/amazing!!!! I can tell how happy you are and you have got me so inspired! My favorite movie...that's a hard one. I don't know if I can pick just one but Beetlejuice is definitely on my list! Love ya and thank you for the inspiration!😀🌅💞

[@gmonorail]

verbal is my favorite form of intimacy. they way it auto refines over time. scavenger's reign.

[@alexwallace6120]

Thanks! Happy Holidays to you and your family. So moving back to California think Silverlake is in the LA area. I lived in California for 12 yrs,20+yrs. ago. San Diego was wonderful, then Northern coastal for 8yrs. I do miss it. Good luck with the move.

[@bookofdust]

Honestly, that need for people is very different for introverts versus extroverts. For extroverts, other people recharge them, and I think you Mark are an extrovert and that’s what you’re responding to here and was your need. For introverts, other people can kind of be their nightmare and drain them of all energy and they need to be alone to recharge themselves.

[@belamoure]

Spot on as an introvert immersed in classical music, readings in 3 languages and pursuit of culture and of refined meals cooked by me, the least I see people, the better I am.

[@Sirsatch5194]

I think the problem is that a lot of people believe they are 100% introverted or 100% extroverted and for most people that’s not the case. I won’t claim it with certainty, but I think most people are somewhere on a spectrum of intro/extroversion. So Mark experienced something a lot of us also have to learn with age, if you start to get those feelings of loneliness it may be that you are not truly 100% introverted and you do need people in your life to help fulfill that intrinsic need. I won’t claim that’s the case for you! But I really appreciate Mark pointing out that we may experience something similar to him at some point and may realize we need other people in our lives to help fulfill that need.

[@woofenme1596]

Keep taking care of you and connecting with people! Thanks for sharing!

[@user-tn4vc1qr5u]

Not a movie but a series that I got hooked on - Yellowstone (bit late to it ) really vibing with the cowboy theme ! Also Olive is such a good girl !

[@theaeskey2502]

Hiiiiiiiii love these weekly Monday uploads!!! Keep it up! I love seeing vintage mark back and in attack!

[@jonathanbryant8938]

Hi Mark, been following you for a long time. Glad to see this glowing version of you and getting back to your element. Gen V and Invincible on Amazon Prime are pretty good shows that I have seen recently. Keep up the good content, I always look forward to your videos. Love that you brought back the “everyday is a great day” phrase. Keep it up.

[@Bill__Jr]

You are never alone. You have us.

[@Useernaamee]

I just saw Leo on Netflix it's animated and the sweetest movie for my the child, but genuinely funny and I might have been a little zooted too but it made me feel incredible just like this video. Thanks Mark ❤

[@Sirsatch5194]

That’s great that you came to that realization about yourself and were able to address the need for fulfillment from a closeness to others in your life, well done :) I’ve enjoyed following your journey all these years, your authenticity is always refreshing. I hope California provides with you good times and good friends! If you’re interested in volunteer opportunities with likeminded people, there a Gay for Good chapter out in LA that you might consider getting involved in. My husband and I have met a lot of great people through our Denver chapter and you seem to share a similar spirit to a lot of the great people we’ve met and volunteered alongside!

[@alexjames54321]

this video and the topic is so important to talk about!! happy you brought it up, i'm currently making lots of mental breakthrus myself w emotions and intimacy and past apathy esp. in my new relationships im creating w people. this video means a lot to me thanks again for always being vulnerable and real to yourself and to share that w us

[@alexjames54321]

fav movie is called "like you mean it" -- a gay indie film, it's sad and emo in just the right way.

[@kentseng5717]

Thank you for always raising awareness of mental health and sharing your journey!

[@luismyupanqui]

Thank you for sharing with us. Big hug

[@MorganTN]

I have used better help myself. Good mental health is the best gift you can ever give yourself.

[@fadelmahade3044]

The video quality on this one is top-notch.

[@dougfrisbie864]

Love your videos, Mark. Since you’re in CA, come visit San Francisco, would love to do a meet up here if you’d be down!

[@jackfordon7735]

Really enjoyed Encanto- just watched it yesterday with my boyfriend who's from Colombia and he pointed out all the cultural references to me- it was a good time :)

[@theaeskey2502]

Fav movie by far is the neon demon. A must watch.

[@mattboi85]

Definitely Red White and Royal Blue

[@jonathanbrooke8556]

Saltburn is an incredible movie

[@user-wh7rv5ty5o]

Wonderful words of encouragement on romance and intimacy, Mark. And love your scenery post. Amazing!!

[@jeangenie1240]

What a journey! I came in during the break-up you just described and followed you ever since. People. Do you recall the song People Who Need People are the Luckiest People of All?

[@tomyoung2935]

I am happy for you that you have a new life in California. And you seem happy also with your new life. Good for you. I realize it was a huge step for you to move so far away from your family and familiar surroundings. But you and everyone is entitled to be happy.I am sure you and baby girl will find the perfect place to live. Keep up with the good work. And please record more vlogs. Love them all. Stay safe. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@davdjimenez1150]

The main movie that came to mind was, Sound Of Metal it’s on prime video it’s related to what you talked about in this video. Other unrelated movies I liked on prime video are Emma,and Words on Bathroom Walls.

[@AB-lw3gl]

Just discovered Fellow Travelers, it's THAT good

[@johnheah1526]

So happy to see you again Mark always.

[@michaell906]

Haha. I laughed when you said gurlll you look beat. You’re the best mark! ❤

[@Blakem_kc]

Saw Saltburn - it was great. And what’s not to love about Jacob Elordi

[@frankg175]

Love you Sir and your honesty

[@jamesjohnson5341]

People, who need people, are the luckiest people in the world...."Funny Girl". Love to you and Olive, James ❤❤

[@rifanugr]

Such a gentle reminder to live

[@dubon9999]

I love you Mark ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@edwarkedward]

Thank you so much for today's video, Mark🥺! I would probably suggest watching for recreation. It's such a lovely movie for a weekend night.

[@belizeguy]

Excellent video!! Thanks Mark

[@AntonioManaligod]

The creative juices really flow when you're in LA.

[@LINYClifer]

❤ you and Olive! This. Needed this. Needed to hear it.

[@awesomelife3710]

Just watched “Wish” in the theater in 3D last night. AWESOME 🤩

[@Kevin-pd9gy]

A Sea view from your new apartment window or better a balcony have moving coffee out over looking the sea wave crashing on the beach

[@alberciik]

Man , fav movie ? The last season of Fargo. Just watched the two first episodes pretty amazing.

[@OLDS98]

I hope that you find the place you wish to leave. Everyone has different needs and you were addressing this in the video. I hope that you vibe with returning to California. Please take care and health and happiness in this new year of 2024.

[@loriduhaime9583]

I could hear marks voice all day it didn't even feel like a 13 min video lol thanks Mark ur awesome

[@lugnut4848]

Love you guys!

[@kennypascoe4752]

My favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption

[@dinoinphx]

Glad to see you so happy

[@mdf8075]

"Girl you look beat" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I died with this

[@grch_eva]

A very smart idea about intimacy. I am also in search of friends, because before my ex partners had friends with whom we were friends together, or I was friends with their friends, and it just so happened that after breaking up we stopped communicating with everyone. Now my partner has no friends except his brothers. And I'm looking for my own at last 😂 This turned out to be a really difficult thing.

[@JeffAlaniStanfill]

Favorite movies are: Lost Boys, Independence Day, The Wizard of Oz. Oh, you said "movie" not "movies"! Loved the video. Congrats on the move.

[@noodlesoup94]

Of An Age is my favourite movie, a beautiful gay love story - I think you'd enjoy it!

[@kevinbutler1437]

I recently just saw a wish with my cousin.

[@user-tm1oy6ck4t]

Had to laugh when Olive's tail suddenly came to life (1:01). A lot to think about here. Your vulnerability is so appreciated.

[@stephanusschoeman8880]

Hehe in South Africa every house has bars on every window 😂. Always enjoy your vids.

[@darkzomb]

I have tried to use better help but the intake process was too much for me. I’d love to find a solution. I’m glad you’re doing well and you look stunning. Keep living your life for you. Cheers! Oh and my fav movie is transformers the movie from 1986. Give a watch sometime. Killer soundtrack, amazing performances, and a fun story of space robots!
