@fragil3gg: some folks have asked if some of my videos were too uncomfortable, traumatizing or depressing for me to create. I know in some of them I rock back and forth, have certain looks on my face for brief moments, or have other subconscious responses that may be taken as a sign of me being upset. I just wanted to say that the concern is very appreciated 💚 it's actually kinda healing after growing up in a house where my feelings not only weren't concerning to my parents, but they were usually made fun of and discouraged. 😅 but please, don't worry 🩷 nothing I post makes me uncomfortable. there are many things I will never share on here (or with anyone lol) and I'll never make videos about them or anything else that I feel like I'm being forced to make. a lot of what I talk about on here is actually sortof... boring to me. many of these things are stories I've told to over and over to friends throughout the years. in the last decade I have made peace with a lot of my demons. it's something I continue working on every single day, and I'm proud of the HUGE amount of progress I've made just in the last year. ❤️‍🩹🥚 #addiction #recovery #MentalHealth #depression #fyp

cody.from.surfs.up :

from a theatre and performance perspective: this is like creating emotional distance by allowing people to think more about the subject matter as opposed to getting super sad about it, so it’s a really good thing you’re doing (i hope your face doesn’t hurt too much also

idk for me your smile makes it somehow more… real? like you’re not fishing for compassion, but actually distancing yourself from the very real experiences? Anyhow, i send lots and lots of love, keep being so strong and don’t let anyone drag you even a tiny bit down 🥰

i really love your videos, i’ve never touched a drug in my life but you help me be more open minded when thinking about addiction as a topic, and to understand the reality of hard drugs. i hope your voice reaches a lot more people 💜

Ironically, you talking about these things with a big smile has made it much easier for me to understand how addiction can affect someone. Maybe it’s just the fact that it’s a personal experience, but I can’t get this level of understanding from anti drug commercials or from simply reading scientific articles about it.

this is so utterly off topic but could you show off some of your tattoos? particularly the bat wing with the rainbow shadow it is beautiful

I so understand how smiling doesn't mean you are happy.

Simaloom :

I felt the contrast in this video when you stopped smiling. The smiling when you are not supposed to smile really does make it more impactful.

joey.turboleizer :

never stop smiling

2026-03-07 19:11:45

Diana M. :

I just thought that you smile because you are happy & proud that you got better and that you are able to share your experience to keep the optimism alive and showing that sobering up can happen:)

Cmercer93 :

Your videos immediately caught my attention because of the way you talk with a smile. It makes me focus on the subject matter compared to an emotional response. As soon as your voice switched at the end of the video, there was an immediate difference. The way you say it with a smile makes it easier to understand and captures attention.

I kinda figured it may have been a trauma response!! but the other reasons are also valid!!
