    I grew up in Poverty but My grandma made Christmas Miracles and Birthdays Suprises I still have no ideal to this day how she did it. Started working at 15 and been working every since. Humble beginnings just make you appreciate everything you have now and everything in future. It always important to remember where we been so that we can know how far we have came.

    Jacob, thank you for sharing more of your story. I am still living in the town I have lived in since 1973 and I take rides to where I used to live, I have been feeling nostalgic a lot lately. I actually get goosebumps driving by some houses where they families have passed away. Also the love of my life (passed away in 1982) asked me out on a front lawn on one of the houses that have new people living there. I am so glad you and Jenn found each other!

    I know that people say that changing location doesn’t really change your life. But sometimes I think when you already want to change. That location just really fosters that growth. Because I had the exact same thing happened to me about eight years ago when I moved to Florida. And that was just from Alanta. But all of a sudden I felt like I became my true self. It just fits so much better. no no I was so unhappy before.
    it’s crazy to me that, we think people are adults 18 because really until you’re like 25 or 26. You just haven’t lived long enough and experience things in an adult world to really live out on your own. I do the same thing with laughed at 18 but. I feel like it takes longer for people to mature.
    also, my family has a house up in Highlands. So crazy. I haven’t seen this area in the country in a couple years. Thank you.

    Greetings from the U.K. Jacob. Adam The Woo has a lot to answer for, because it’s thanks to him and his videos, that I’ve got to know not only Sean Clarke, The Grim Collective and Tampa Jay, but you too. And I thank him for that. All somewhat similar, yet all done differently, with your channel being the quirkiest of them all. A particularly good example is the video you posted a couple of days ago about your wish to purchase a haunted doll. I can’t imagine any of them doing it. Your most recent video ‘I Used To Live In A Shed’ sounds like an episode of Jerry Springer, but it was great finding out more about you and your past. I am now in the process of binge watching your videos and am pleased to say that I’m enjoying every single one of them. I’m definitely looking forward to upcoming Jenny videos with great interest.

    My boyfriend George was 60 yrs old when he died two February 's ago n when he lived in the shed it had no electric, no plumbing on Lake Erie next to an abandoned house, so he was 57 yrs old when he lived there!! Your situation was WAY BETTER than his, especially since you were so much younger!!! So don't feel bad at all about anything you:Ve ever done!!! P.S. I came back from Michigan after he moved from the shed to a trailer as a roommate with a dude who felt sorry for him cuz it was getting way down in the Fall n he had no heat. After my brother in Michigan I lived with till he died of cancer in October of 2020, then I came back n got George out of the trailer into the apt I am in now since December of 2020, n George died of cancer two years ago in February of 2021!!! So, make the absolute MOST of every minute you have with Jenn, cuz you never know how long you have together!!!

    That Dillard House owner was one of many Americans who think that life is worth living, if you're going to be in a bad mood. During early years of life, we were surrounded by adults who told us that we have to go to school and get a good job. Even though those things cause a person to be in a bad mood on a regular basis. Good for you, for running away from a crappy person like that. You've found a way to lead a positive life every day, and to be in happy moods.
