"Lonely... But I forget the word, easily and often I forget the word, but I replace it with things like independent, careful, I do things on my own, by my own, but the term is just lonely" this was extremely poetic...

I am impressed by the confidence in which she both uses words that don't exist and assigns completely new meanings to words that already have meanings.

She reminds me of my brother. I remember him sober; he was metaphorical, poetic, and clever as a fox with his words. The worse he got into alcoholism, the more he would speak obscure grandiose chaotic concepts like this...like a disintegrating genius. His mind getting less and less able to participate in a world that really needs that kind of creativity.

At the end of the video her voice fades and gets lost in the outside noises. It almost hurts, because it seems like a symbol for her existence. She seems to be a sensitive soul in such a rough world. I really wish there was someone to show her that she is not a bad girl, not a skank, but a lady who could choose self love first.

This is what a conversation is like with someone who’s been up for 3 days.

I like that you don’t mind that they smoke their cigarettes or their weed, you just let them be them and let their true mannerisms show through in a raw & real way. This has quickly become my favorite channel over the past few months, there’s nothing else like it on KZfaq. Truly a one of a kind channel. Also I would give my left leg to have Mark take my photos, they’re so beautiful.

SWU is so unique it shines a light on the broken downtrodden, abused and used with respect, love and dignity. There are a lot that try on the youtube platform but they come off as voyeuristic poverty porn. Love your work Mark and to your guests may they find a moment in the sun through you . Thankyou Greg

Why do you ask her if she’s a good girl or bad girl? That question was so off-putting.

Lonely But I forget the word Easily and often I forget the word I replace it with independent Or careful I do things on my own By my own But in other terms it's just Lonely Corrine

It's clear she's on drugs but my worry is she's gone into drug induced psychosis and may eventually (if not already) trigger drug abuse induced schizophrenia. Corrine isn't a bad girl. I'd love to see Corrine get better and see the good side of her.

She creates her own reality, like she creates her own words. No judgment, just observation. I wish her well. 🤞

Her words visually would be like a Picasso painting. I'm not sure what all is going on with her, but there was so much poetry in her words, along with the fracturing. Thank you to mark and to her for an interesting view of life

She's like a lost little girl. This interview is like asking a child to explain their day at the park or something.

"You either regret being in love, or you love being in love. Because either way, you're stuck with something that you didn't have before. You're changed." This was actually so unbelievably profound. People in the comments are really misundering this girl. If you pay attention to what she's saying, she's actually got this lyrical, poetic kind of genius about her.

Truly pulling for her to do well. Corrine is very honest, insightful, intelligent and very beautiful. She has a lot of potential to do wonderful things. I hope Mark interviews her again down the road.

I have to say, I don’t think the elevator goes all the way to the top floor.

I wish we could see Mark's facial expressions during this interview, every once in awhile I bet there absolutely priceless.

Wow! This one was exhausting to watch. I am in awe of you Mark. I don't know how you find the inner strength to continue documenting such broken people without breaking yourself.

This definitely had coffee shop open mic poetry vibes. I appreciate the raw authenticity of her expression “when ever I look good I’m accomplishing the goal of the clothes” Never heard truer words🤩

I loved this interview and the way it ended couldn’t have been better.

I think she actually believes she's answering his questions with rational answers. She's so close to being totally gone off her rocker

Best thing she said the whole interview was "I dont have kids".

A lost, but beautiful soul. I wish her only well wishes & send so much love with prayers💜

I’ve known people like her. She has romanticized her drug use and lifestyle as a way of coping. There is nothing deep or poetic about this

It would be nice to see her interviewed when she's sober. She is really trying to go deep with her answers but the fact that she is stoned is preventing her from answering them in a clear way.

God, this reminds me of being at a party at 3am and realizing, I have to get the fuck away from this.

Thank you for the interview Corrine & SWU

I need more Corrine… She got me when Mark asked if she was happy and she said “Not happy just pushing!” Damn that’s deep!

"When I walk on the blade it's all green lights. And I don't know what that means but it happens every time." That was seriously poetic. Right now there are novelists punching themselves in the face wishing that they could write a line like that.

She has a whole Courtney love vibe. She is absolutely stunning. It hurts to think she is someone's child. In her rambling thoughts there is some cohesive understanding that she compartmentalizes aspects of her life to deal with things like "hurt" "loneliness" etc. (Her children are her pain hurt and loneliness). Her whole logic on not calling herself a prostitute...she refers to it as presenting. She said even when she does refer to herself as prostitute it doesn't make herself feel relieved to be honest about it so she rather describe it as something else.

So interesting to watch her mind come up with new words…very poetical and free flowing. Thanks for your channel, Mark, it always give me more perspective.

When she said she gets "Spunuis", I knew exactly what she meant, even though I never heard the word before! She said there was a lot of pine needles where she grew up as a child. Later she said Pine was pain. When she spoke of her uncle who live behind her grandmother's house you edited the tape. Curious as to what she said? "I am sick and I don't know what to do". She never really talks about her childhood...

Even through all of this, I see her innocence. Still a lost little girl. 😢 Get well, Beautiful. 🙏🏽💗

Her statement about calling loneliness something else that sounds more positive, is powerful. It is what most people do.

Facinating, I rewatched it a couple times already. Her level of trauma is deep, she's only 27. I don't believe something didn't happen at grandma's house with uncle living in the back and neither does Mark since he asks twice, once in the beginning of the interview and once later on. About 13 minutes in she is describing the first molesting with her broken vocabulary. "Hurting is one of her children" she says. Wow. Hopefully she can get some help, she's still young.

This women is a poet! she is waxing lyrical. She knows how to use words. She has a creative genius. very profound. Great depth of imagination, beauty, pain and expansive. Far from mundane.

This was one of hardest interviews I've watched on SWU. She seemed to be all over the place. Dear God please protect this woman.

She has a Courtney love vibe. I’m not mad at it, but always hope for sobriety for all of mark’s interviewees

She has deconstructed and reassembled. Corrine sounds like a professor at this point. iah very interesting and packed with content. Nearly made me feel like I had to start taking notes.

I am so touched by her lyric expressiveness, even when I'm not sure I know what she means.

This girls is high risk. She’s way too messed up to think herself out of a bad situation. Maybe she has sober moments but she’s in trouble.

There's a girl on KZfaq with dissociative disorder that calls her personalities her "littles". The way this young lady described "Hurting" as it's own entity (separate from herself yet distinctly her own), as one of her "adopted children" - I can't help but think, just like 'Sexy' / 'Skanky' , 'Lonely' and 'Loyal', (for everyone saying she doesn't make sense), the names assigned to her alters are the Websters dictionary definition. When Mark asked about her childhood she spoke of an uncle who "lived in the back" - that was significant. She also described Pain by physically acting out for us the motion - up & down or back & fourth with wrists bound together, and how she had to change pain by changing the motion behind it, the meaning - the splitting starts there - at the beginning. She is doing what she has always done, allowing men to do to her what has always been done, no matter how "good" she was when she was little, she was still a "bad girl" raped or beaten for any reason, like dying her hair or wearing orange. She was the oldest, and should have been respected & revered by her younger brother, (the one bond she had that wouldn't hurt her - the one thing in her life that was good & pure), he felt entitled enough to barge into her room, violate her privacy, and judge her for doing something most 16 -17 yr. Olds do with their boyfriends. So she does drugs to be skinny and fit in with the pretty girls. She learns about cam modeling after a friend showed her all the gifts she would get just by filming herself using sex toys. So she posted pics in different costumes, and got real money without even having to do the explicit stuff with toys, but the pics found their way on Facebook, and now the whole town knew she was a whore. So she danced her way to LA, it's green lights all the way down, and she gets alot of love every day "que lindo" the tricks always say. There's pride in her presentation, a reason behind every selection - her heels, her dress, makeup, hair. She's seen the girls like Amanda - selling pussy for a rock of crack in nothing but a tee shirt & underwear - surely they differ in job title, to call them both prostitutes when she feels worlds away, it is offensive to come to terms with, so the words she doesn't say.

When she says she's a bad girl but she's also nice means that she is living in the underbelly of society but she she holds her kindness, she doesn't want to let the evil streets take her spirit. When she throws out the comment of her uncle living in the back, I think she might mean that her family looked down on him and maybe threw him to the side and maybe she wasn't allowed in his area of the home, that's why she referenced that he "lived" in the back. When she says, "When I walk down the blade it's all green lights" meaning she hasn't ran into much trouble or she is telling herself that she's not doing what she's doing in the shadow of the red lights. Maybe denial, maybe a false sense of security or the feeling like she won't or can't be touched or hurt. Referencing her children as emotions means she nurtures her struggle and takes sentiment in her life it has more meaning than maybe it should or she takes insight into what she's doing has a bigger meaning in the end. She mentions she didn't create the word or feeling of hurt orpain it was already there, its the human condition and she is just experiencing it. Hurting is from pine pine is from pain, it became from whatever the case may be..meaning that everyone hurts the same way in the concept but she experiences it different than the next person When she makes reference to her childhood home being full of pine needles, she's referencing back to the one thing that reminds her of home. Mentioning that her family stayed in her grandmother's house to me means that her parents or mother wasn't stable enough to not depend on Corrines grandmother. A "little wild" referencing her childhood but then explaining that there were a lot of chickens, a dog and a parrot when referring to why it was wild. What I got from this is that she was often ignored and put outside to go play amongst the animals unattended amongst the barbwire which was confusing and lonely but the animals might have distracted her or helped her escape she might have sought solace from because of the chaos going on inside. She at a young age realized that she "had a lot to work with" meaning she learned different negative behaviors that served her situation. She taught herself ways to survive by manipulation or destructive tendencies. She explained that she liked her childhood because she snuck around and smoked cigarettes means she was allowed to get away with things she knew weren't ok, she was kinda of slowly understanding that she wasn't cared for as she was supposed to be. I don't know if when she says she was "born out here" in California if she meant that she was actually born there or if she found her true self and was born meaning she was finally able to let go and be herself and made it her new home when she left on her own to California away from whatever didn't ring true to home where her family was. I think she might have had people talk shit about her or expose her on Facebook so she decided to take control of the situation and put it out there herself. She said she is out in south central taking off her panties that are floral print meaning that she is doing something she thought she'd never do, she urges for that innocence back but it's gone. When she says "amios mio" like she's getting cat called by Spanish men... men who pick up girls in that area are mostly Hispanic. To be accused wrongfully would be punishable. She says she takes punishment for them. She feels like she is punished by society due to her choice to work in sex work. She is punished by society for trying to survive. When she mentions she is protrayed as a prostitute when she doesn't wear a bra. She gets mad at herself when she doesn't make money she feels like she didn't "execute" her mission. If she's gonna be a bad girl and take all the slack from it she has to get a reward or else she's wasting herself. I'm not sure if she has a woman as a pimp "Janelle". When Mark asked her if she's the black sheep in her family and she replied that she was the first person in her family to wear orange. That meant she was the first person in her family to go to jail. When she refers to her "dress" she's referring to the facad she was putting on. She is trying to tell us that she is ashamed of the word prostitute and she lies to herself by telling herself it's her preference until the "adults" in her life (authority) tell her "you are prostituting" she has grown from being in denial to accepting her situation."cam models" i think might have started as actual girls online but she kept the term to refer tk are other girls on the street. That's how she keeps herself in denial. When she says that she feels "spunkuous" or "sentimental" people knock her off her happy cloud. People suffering on the street hate it when someone is around with a bubbly or happy disposition because they are jealous that they are in pain and can't experience that feeling. People always are trying to tear corrine down because she experiences the world in a way that they don't and it makes them mad because they don't understand it. She holds herself to the standard of trying her best not to seek out married men because she truly believes in the root of love. When the tricks crack codes and try to pull one over her eyes her outlook on love dies a little bit every time. I wouldn't raise my hand to monogamy. Meaning she wouldn't volunteer to be true to one person because she has seen too many glinpses of proof that it doesn't work so she wouldn't vouch for an idea that doesn't work. She says that her and her brother had a really really close bond of love and trust and became broken when her brother walked in on her giving a guy or a trick head and she tried to convince him that it was her boyfriend. She says the Fahrenheit wasn't equal meaning he didn't have the age or smarts to realize what she was doing and he blew her up thinking one thing when it really was another. She knew that it hurt her brother but she made it seems as if he was seeing something that he wasn't gaslighting him knowing well that they were so close and that he was hurt. I could be reading too much into this one but... When Mark asked do you have regrets in your life. She said I always used to think no I don't have any regrets in YOUR life,which I'm reading into that people assume, even strangers assume that she should regret what's become of her or what she has chosen to do but no she herself doesn't regret and doesn't care how you see it. When she says she is "pushing" instead of happy means she is constantly looking for a way to feel good. And when she follows that up with that's the perks of being a prostitute is that in some way either the money, the feeling of someone needing you, the fast pump of dopamine to the reward system gives her that dose of happiness that she's pushing towards even if only for a minute. When she says the downfalls are the same as the reward means that her whole existence is a catch 22 cycle of insanity. The same thing that makes her feel good makes her feel bad. Not to "hold sore lip" means not to let cruelty pass your lips, not to hurt others with your words. This girl is absolutely fascinating to listen to if you really hear what she's saying.

What a beautiful person. Reminds me of a girlfriend of mine..RIP suze

Corrine is the perfect example of what so many people do not understand about prostitutes and/or homeless people. I hear so many people who say that these people should "just snap out of it" and start becoming a "normal" productive citizen. It would take years of full-time counselling and management to help Corinne make a different life for herself. Unfortunately, at least in the U.S., we don't have those kinds of facilities or organizations. We put people in facilities for a couple weeks and expect that to help them.

I've watched dozens and dozens of these interviews. This, by far, is one of the wildest. This chick is pretty far out there and I can't figure out if it's just the drugs or if there's some mental challenges that were always there. It's like someone dipped a dictionary in PCP.

I love Grandma's - they seem to feature a lot in taking up responsibility in many of these videos - when they should be enjoying their autumn years.

You poor child, feel so sorry for you. 1970s teen, and thankful I met the right man. Bless you, blessed be all lost souls

Wow! So much going on within her. She was raised secluded and old fashioned - taught it's the woman's place to keep the man happy, and raised with no set goals for after highschool. She yearns to please men, it gives her power because they choose her as their object of desire. But the emptiness is devastating when she finds herself alone and resorts to drugs to fill the hole. ... such a strong woman and beautiful soul. She changes her mind set in less desirable situations by labeling them with "happy" words, seeing the good in the bad. She is amazing. I wish her well on her journey.

She is so eloquently fragmentary….such a poetic and disturbed young lady. This interview made me feel like an emotional-marimba being played by a toddler. There isn’t a word for it. I feel like I got a tour through a dilapidated, decaying museum of art. Im sad, shocked, hurt & disturbed.

This was physically painful to watch. Poor girl I pray she gets the help she needs.

she deserves a follow up interview.

The most profoundly sad and beautiful thing she said that made total sense was when Mark asked her if she is "lonely" and she replied that she replaces that word with the words: "careful or independent."

There is an almost "beat poetry" aspect to Corrine's way of speaking. Whether it's due to drug use and/or various psychoses remains to be seen. I hope we can get an update, preferably when Corrine's in a more sober state. GoFundMe, for sure!

Word salad spoken with a lot of conviction

Thank you for sharing Mark.

This poor lost soul is seriously one pickup away from being murdered. She is far too comfortable with her situation to understand the consequences.

A schizophrenic once said one of the most memorable things I’ve heard. He said he could see auras. I asked him what my aura was. He said, “Unforgiveness of God.” So true.

Clearly she is messed up. Mark is a Saint for being able to listen to her senseless rambling. I hope she is OK and comes back to reality. Some don't have that luxury and stay gone. Three times I saw it in rehab where the psychosis was permanent. This poor girl may be searching for a "word" forever.

There is so much brilliance here. Such a creative perspective to the world that has this innocence yet such wisdom. Such a beautiful tragedy…

Mark, that fade-out as she was attempting to make her point was powerful, just powerful stuff. Metaphorical magic right there.

this interview reminds me of why I hate talking to drunk people.

She has so much worth, she's very intelligent whether she seems so or not, I sure wish her the best in her life. She's genuinely a good person.

She has these stunning moments of clarity, followed by nonsensical gibberish, which makes me think she has been thru major trauma and that as soon as shit gets too real, her brain goes into self protect mode and takes her out of the situation for a minute, Im not a psychologist but it appears indicative of schitzophrenia or DID, she is obviously very intelligent

Oh man, this poor girl doesn’t seem like she’s all there. To think that she’s in the situation she is in, and likely easily manipulated and vulnerable, is pretty worrying. Infact I’m terrified for her. I hope she can get the help she needs.

Please bring her back! A follow-up with her in a few weeks is mandatory!! One of a kind responses to your questions!!

Of all the videos on Soft White Underbelly, this is my favorite one I've seen. Brilliant human. I wish I could be her friend.

I like this interveiw. Thank you. 💜💜

I love this channel, but damn, it's always so gut wrenching.

"are you using drugs?".. her answer made me feel like I'm on drugs..

She has a poetic way with words.

One of the most bizarre interviews I've listened to. I hope that she finds her way back to a good life someday.

I am not a native speaker but I feel the way she treats the English language is to some extent the way schizophrenics speak (neologisms, unconventional usage of words, incoherence...)

When she called her clients "sowelu", I instantly recognized that a Nordic rune. Here is the meaning. "Sowelu is the final of the runes of the Elder Futhark. After travelings through the entire set of Runes we come to Sowelu - Wholeness. Sowelu is the wholeness to which we all belong and are connected. Sowelu is finding wholeness and completeness within whom we are and how we interact with others. Sowelu is the Sun in it’s most magnificent and beneficent guises. Sowelu is the harvest from the fields stored and ready to carry through the dark of winter’s night. Sowelu is achievement. Sowelu is celebration. Sowelu means having what we need when we need it - even if we can’t see the truth of that in the current moment." She is searching to be whole through sexual connection. Actually, she called the married clients sowelu.. So she sees them as having the sun, happiness, and wants some of that for her own. She has a hard time when she sees the love between two people, and it gets in the way of her doing her job. She's a romantic at heart.

What a different view with her beautiful words… so so smart - a beautiful heart full of happiness with such sadness..

I think this is honestly the only interview I absolutely can not continue watching! Very sad that mental health and addiction does not get the support and attention in this country that it desperately needs!!! I wish the absolute best for you Corrine

She is answering, but in a constant symbolic, or word play reference.. she's really fantastic. A gem in a field of gravel.

When she looks down to the side you can see how much she’s truly hurting & it’s heart breaking. You’ll see she has such a beautiful mind if you take the time to actually listen & think about what she’s saying. I’ve lived a completely different life than she has & can still relate to her a lot. Please do an update on this angel

All the best to you Corrine 💜

I love how you ask “have you been in love before?” It’s EVERYTHING

Corinne's mind is fascinating. Her vocabulary, her descriptions ... she speaks like a mystical jazz poet, tapping into a layer of reality just below the mundane surface. Her perspective is so valuable. I've known a few people with schizophrenia, and at a certain stage of the disease progression, they spoke similarly to this. I hope she's safe, and I hope she gets the resources, accommodations, and treatment she needs before she's unable to be this self-sufficient.

I only wish this lady sobriety and peace in her life .

This interview was really uncomfortable. It felt like Mark was flirting and it just felt icky.

Man, going into this Mark had to take a deep breath and think "boy, this.............is gonna be a tough one". Sober i bet you Corrine is a total sweetheart which really in the end, this makes you sad. It was funny that she created like 4 or 5 words in this interview.

This is a tough watch. This is an amazing interview and an amazing look into a damaged life. Hope she gets better.

shes on the verge of making total sense. i can feel the pain and experience in her voice. she has A LOT of potential. Take care Corrine

This women is incredible and a mad genius. I hope she can find an outlet to her creative side that doesn’t mean selling herself unless she’s truly happy doing that.

Somebody I knew sounded just like this then did more drugs and started overdosing. He survived, I hope this young lady is recovering 🙏

As I first started listening to her pattern of speech, I thought she might have some form of aphasia, either organic or from drug abuse, but that's on me - for prematurely judging her. The more I listened, the more I realized how poetic she is. She was speaking in concepts and repurposing words to suit. For example, "our fahrenheit was not equal", "I do not like to exotic to a (married) man", and others have already noted her beautiful response to the question of whether or not she was lonely. When Mark would ask her a pragmatic question, she would give a conventionally structured response, and then start speaking in concepts. She's obviously street smart and able to take care of herself, Mark simply made her comfortable to express herself on her own terms in her own way. The light bulb moment for me was when I realized, holy crap! Change her name to Bob Dylan or Courtney Love and the same people slamming her in the comments would own all her albums (and still not understand what she was saying!).

I was in such a bad spot when I began to listen to it. Thank you everyone who pointed out she may be in the state of psychosis, and in the grip of mind altering stuff. It gave me food for thought and once I sorted out what needed sorting out and was at peace again I realised she may have been through so much crap she may have gone in the state she is to detach from whatever mistreatment she was through. Thank you.

Yikes…this was tough to get through. Made me incredibly sad.

I hate being accusated of being something I’m not

Honest to God, I just figured it out. Corrine speaks like English is her second language. I was within about 45 seconds of the end when she said pout after stringing a few seemingly unrelated words together. It's like that thing where a native Polish speaker said American horse pirate instead of cowboy! Girlfriend has fried some synapses due to undisclosed trauma.

She sounds like a politician, her answers leave you saying, "what did I ask her" to yourself.

What an enigmatic paradox she is. Just when she’s about to make so much sense she goes on to make little or no sense whatsoever. Clearly could be a literary spectacle if it wasn’t for the drugs.

Street philosophy 101 and Mark has no idea what she's saying, I love the way he just goes on to the next question and doesn't make her feel bad

I found her fascinating to watch, I agree with the "beat poetry" analogy, definitely a performance going on, reminds me of the sixties when people would drop acid and wax poetically. Love her made up words and off beat expressions, cold sore lip. She is a wonderful character.

*Courtney Love energy and vibe*

300 IQ hosted in a broken and beautiful mind.

What I hear is a drug induced, but well spoken young Lady. Imagine having a deep conversation without her being high. So much potential in this person!
