[@BbGun-lw5vi]

65sheilakay I feel for you. But one thing to keep in mind is that there are more older parents having kids than when Theo was younger. Many 40 year olds are having children. So kids are more used to it. But you should do some research as to how to approach his teenage years. So that he learns to be proud of you. I would do that and prepare instead of just dreading it.

Can I just point out that we’re watching a man actively practicing the methods for therapy and becoming sober? This shows how self questioning, self reflection, and putting it down on paper can lead to learning to love yourself and others more fully. Therapy is so important, and a man or woman should never feel ashamed for pursuing happiness and understanding. Becoming sober starts with trying to understand yourself. Thank you to Theo for being this vulnerable.

Anxiety and depression is also self questioning and self reflection. It's not always "easy" to do it in a healthy way. I wish people exerience tapping into that baseline and their essential human aspects, needs and values otherwise all that fishing for information and looking at correlations can make the world seem like a deterministic, dark and nihilistic place. It can make one feel like a powerless byproduct of shit circumstances. Questioning everything can become the cancer of the mind, overthinking. Most things don't have to explained to oneself through words, it's ok to just know. Words are for communication with other people. People do have the power of free will even if they never really exercised it in their life. People have the power of making different choices, having different thoughts, using their minds instead of it using them. It's very good to know the distinction between self and mind, not to say the mind doesn't play a large part in being an everyday human, it's needed, that is why we don't get lobotomies to solve mental anguish. Yet people get stuck and entangled in their thoughtprocesses and heads. People get identified with their thoughts and cerebral activity (like feelings or general headspace) too much. Ppl be putting all that weight on that stuff which are just mental projections, images and possible simulations of the future which are all based on past events. The mood can dictate if your mind will fish for good or bad examples from your past experiences to build mental images from, the mind is a tool, not reality or truth. I want to live how I want to live, I wanna live well, so if there is a behavior which is rooted in the past that limits me (I believe there are thousands of little things for pretty much everyone), it's ok if I realize it, but what matters more is that I don't even base my behavior too much on the past. The more present I am, detached from my mind, empty, the more freedom I have to make free choices, not ones which are controlled by past situations in the subconscious. I mean empty not as in lacking or missing something, that wouldn't be empty, empty is none of that. Empty is the lack of even that. Emptyness in me is like extra space, feeling light, clear air. Feelings I'm able to feel more, there is more clear space in the studio that is my mind and it's not cluttered. It's breezy. I'm not preoccupied in "solving problems in my head", "dwelling too much on correlations between past and present", "getting better". I'm getting better by doing stuff that is good, by not overthinking, by not caring about things which are not worth caring about. Action, action, action, silence awareness, sleep, food, exercise. Do something good and keep doing it. Edit: It seems most ppl lack different things. I might need less thinking, someone might need more, but either way, we will both benefit the same from being more present and seeing clearer.

@@snowfrosty1 Im sure he does have some agenda. But in the spiritual sense at Church thats among one of the most manliest thoughts decisions actions you could make to become a better man. I have ingrained the thought no feminine males but now ive began to realize tomboys are as stupid. and theyre both wrong. I believe there is wrong and correct in this world. above mistakes mishaps what else is there. At Sacred Heart Church there was many tough guys and girls many tough women and men who seemingly want to put on a face that they dont want to cry. And I was one of those its not a leftist talking point or a political one its better than any sexual activity. because once I heal then I can have Marriage and sexual inercourse. I think the same thought process as you do but Church and to cry in front of all those men and women isnt manly or womanly its Brave most certainly and I cant do it when women and other men are around I feel pathethic that I couldnt cry and I was holding back I feel stupid its really annoying that your human ego restricts you and Witholds you from speaking when you want to say something valuable. Anyways Im sure Coal Mining Is 100% of what men have done as Brave and wars. No woman could understand even if she saw her partner being blown to bits. Being the man is different because help may never arrive so im not really discounting whatevers experiences but its also a nusiance that none are as focused on men and boys because thats what truly matters otherwise the whole World will be God Damned and no longer will all humanity be sane because The rot of good Males end of story.

Theo is literally describing my life. My grandparents were 64 and 62 when they adopted me.

I was ashamed of how old they were at times. I didnt understand it at the time. It was really hard when kids would have those looks when they found out they were my "parents". And worse, they were poor, so I also didnt have much money on top of that. It was really hard, but looking back it really made me who i am today and years ago I reflected about it and realized it was kind of natural to feel this way and it actually created a slew of events that made me focus on my health as priority 1 becuase I also had to watch them suffer as they got older with blood pressure, heart issues, and more. I sure do miss them both. My grandfather died when i was 12 in 1996, and that made things even harder for me - my grandma ended up living until I was 29 and passed in 2013.

My parents had me late Theo, and I’m still in my twenties and unfortunately both of my parents have passed. And I really understand feeling resentful having to experience them not being able to take care of themselves so soon. It just is sad. But it is what it is Theo. Now we can find people like ourselves and potentially connect like that. Love you dood, stay bright sweet boy. 💕

Condolences to you Rachel for your losses so soon. My wishes go out to you and I hope you stay strong. Have a great day

[@tannerlippert9525]

Rachel Cooke my mother just passed away two days ago and I’m feeling the same thing. She was older and I really wanted more time with her. It feels like I’ll never get through this

[@Dustincooley40]

Same here. Lost my dad when i was 16. Mom when i was 23. I relate to this 100%.

[@HeyRAYY]

Tanner Lippert you will, I promise you will 💕 Give yourself time, you are stronger than you feel. When those feelings dull you will see how amazing you are to get through something seemingly impossible 💕

[@TheSmilodon85]

Don't stress it... I felt the same my dad use to beat me senseless just for existing because his mom told him I may not be his kid....I always thought It was my fault that he hated me cause of my skin tone...as I got older he saw I resembled him he gave me a hug and said he loved me and said sorry....sad because I didn't know how to feel....he slipped into a Coma for a few days due to an injury years after...I prayed for him to come out of it next day he had and he asked for me but he couldn't talk....I saw him in his death bed eyes tearing and I knew why; he was ashamed what he put me through and I told him it was Ok..kissed him on his head told him don't worry about it...that I'm stronger and I forgiving him....he saw the whole family that day..next day slipped back into a coma and we had to pull the plug because his whole body was shot..every organ shot sad...he was the strongest Man I knew mentally and physically....worked hard labor jobs with over 13 hernias and was still strong and kicking...to think about it makes me motivated and proud to be his son...just wish we really were like Dad and Son....and shared that bond....thanks Theo for sharing appreciate you, you're a funny Man down to Earth cat hope you are eventually in some funny films in the future..... Blessings 🙏🌟

[@TheDeac65]

Damn man, that's some rough stuff right there. I'm glad you two were able to make peace at the end. And good on you for being strong enough to forgive him and being able to let go of those feelings. I never had a volatile relationship with my father, but I do find it interesting how we become more and more able to understand our fathers as we get older. I feel like I didn't really get to truly know my dad until I was in my late teens, and I cherish those years. Hope life brings you nothing but happiness from here on out brother, cheers.

His self awareness is impressive, if everyone could self reflect like theo does then the world would be a better place

[@russellgiesler]

Theo is probably my favorite person ever. He is caring, kind, thoughtful, and humble. Yet he still makes fun of it all to make people happy for just a moment. Theo we love you man. Keep on living your best life my dude!

[@auroraborealis13579]

He is 100% my favorite person I've never met. 💚💚💚

[@johnharris9450]

This was eye opening for me. I was abused as a child and just realized that feedback loop has destroyed my life. But now l know and can do something about recovery. Thanks man. Your transparency was a great ministry to me.

[@Dhardy316]

I hear ya John. I was abused as well and have been able to give my children the opisite childhood of mine. My childhood abuse became a blessing as an adult because I do not want my kids to experience it. Had I not been abused who knows where I could be.(oddly enough)

[@jessie333x]

@@Dhardy316 It is odd but sometimes that abuse makes us better people than we would’ve been without it. I’m glad you could grow from it and not go down hill because of it❤️

God dude. He is so honest and genuine. I love this clip

I’m glad your daddy had you cuz you bring people ( me ) joy, laughter, understanding, acceptance and just lots of good stuff, man, for real!! You help a lot of folks, me included, and so I am grateful for your dad!!!💙

Theo should.write a comedy.series.about his Dad before he had Theo!

[@outlaw42001]

My pops said that about two years ago was his favorite father's day. We hadn't gotten to see much of each other and i just drove out to his work and brought him lunch and we just talked about his childhood for an hour or so. I'm 33 years old and i realized that i didn't even know his uncle was in pearl harbor or that his father was in WW2. I think that its incredibly important to talk to our parents in our adult years, assuming we are lucky enough to do so.

[@josend]

Thats the thing. You appreciate your parents when you become an adult. Theo is being to harsh on himself. Who feels pride for their family at 16? Who isnt embarrased by their parents at that age? One starts separating from their family (emotionally) at 13. But when you reach your late 20s you come back

[@joshuadinan5512]

I’m a Theo fan because of how self reflective, deep thinking, and vulnerable he is. Hearing someone be this real is amazing.

[@wjhall7754]

Theo is very authentic that's why I cant stop listening to him. Just a real person who speaks the way he really sees things and how he really feels.

[@Birdbandb]

Lost my dad at 18. He was 60. I was blessed that he fought to be in my life and showed up for me as much as he could. Yeah I lost him young, but I can say that I got as much good quality time with him than some people who even have their dad alive today.
