Yeah she seem like an actual caring person which is very nice to see. :) I used to be a really bad listener, but I changed that.

Seems like she's the first one that's ever really done that.

Yeah I liked that too. She cares.

Yes.

Yes, not typical for addicts!

@Joach… Congratulations on being an overcomer! Wishing you many more years of blessings!

30 years man good for you! My brother is an addict, he hasn’t overcome or addressed the trauma contributing to his addiction..... but seeing things like this, I’ll never lose hope. I wish you good fortune and health Joachim! 🤞❤️

@@miyahrochelle3560 Learning to face the trauma, how to cope with it and how to convert it into strength is the hardest, but most important thing. Like most victims of childhood molestation i was on a self destruktive streak for many years. After loosing a wife to cancer i nearly ended it all, but i chose therapy instead. That gave me the tools to use my own pain to help others. I found happiness through that. I hope that your brother finds the will and the strength to face the past and to start the work to learn how to cope with it.

yessurrrr fuck it up chief

Well done for getting clean an turning your life around, it's not easy, stay strong wishing you all the luck in the world

i strongly disagree. she is not driven or motivated and admittedly so. she has a bf who uses and her mom intro her to drugs. she romanticizes it

EXACTLY

Exactly. She'll get better!

Origami: That’s what it reminded me of as soon as I saw the angles, the shapes she was creating. Should get her some origami paper, eh? FWIW, it seems to me creative people have a challenge finding their “spot” in this world. We try to coerce them into a particular “artistic speciality,” like “painter” (and further sub-spots like modern, classical, by medium etc.) or “singer” and sub-spots like Blues, Jazz etc. Ex: Joni Mitchell views herself as a painter, not a singer yet most people know her as a singer. Or like Mark who loves photography. I noticed immediately when he took his pictures of his interviewees, they always pan over that person slowly, carefully, as if to say, “Look at their wholeness in the midst of all their brokenness.” And it makes them beautiful. Combine that with their interview and it’s just this beautifully human “human being.” The creative people I’ve come across throughout my life just aren’t, I guess the word is “reductionist.” They “see” things as a whole, not it’s individual parts; it’s where they find the beauty, the inspiration, the juice or whatever. I’m failing horribly to express what I mean....does anyone get what I’m saying because I’m just not creative or artistic at all.

Pretty sure it's just a fidget and has nothing to do with being artsy. But that's just me.

That’s how you fold napkins I’m assuming she’s waitressed at some point.

Ugh you're so cringy

@@tundrawomansays5067 , you are indeed creative. It’s your birthright. Maybe you love to create an amazing meal, or homemade cards, or program computers to do something delightful. I agree she is very in touch with her creativity.

first one he kept in.

She did compare herself to Mark in that regard

@@robgrubb420 No, there are a few.

Yeah, but she couldn't wait long enough for him to finish all his sentences.

@@blazefairchild465 Yup. She wasn't That interested. It was about her.

Me too she's very poised, and pretty in a unique way

Its because she is high.

What a great comment!

Yes!!!!🧗🏻‍♀️

What a beautiful human being you must be Lisa Ckarke.. Thank you so much for choosing love when so many in this world lead with hate and lack any sense of empathy.. the world is a better place because of you!

Truth is 99% of addicts are fucked this one also

@@DanielAnderssson you feel better now ? Look at you and ask yourself why did you have to make that 100% unnecessary comment ?

Mark’s energy helps I reckon. It seems that every soul he talks to, they all end up opening up to him in ways that a lot of the time, seem to even surprise them. He’s a special guy….. have a great day too! ❤️

@@fernandapartridge5174 I wholeheartedly agree with you! Thank you! ❤️

Preach It 🙌❤🙌❣... aint it A strong 1 💯that make ya weak ✔ tho 😉💭❣...

Why was this page demonized

@@tammyturnerlucas794 Mark did a video I believe to be still in the Soft White Underbelly section. But it was frustrating I am sure, as he and others clearly have a passion for art and sociology...and use their own money and time to help many.

@@tammyturnerlucas794 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNeCfbl_tdPMp4U.html

Liberals... Can't handle the truth

@@lr6477 liberals are the only ones trying to enact policies to help the impoverished and addicted. Republicans would be happy to let someone else monetize their story and prance away with the money.

I hope she accepts the help. She herself says she’s been offered help many times. She would be a great counselor! I hope she cleans up and gives back to society. She has a gift.

Congratulations 🎊 keep it up 👍🏽

Congratulations to you kicking the habit hun

Good job! Be proud of yourself. I wish you every happiness.

Happy 1 year!!!!! 🥳🎉❤️

Wow! Your comment explains myself so much. I've never been able to put into exact words. Thank You

This.

Most artistic ppl feel Sooo much. It's probably painful how much they truly feel and have such strong empathy. It's like a gift and a curse at the same time.

I think you are accurate in this assessment

@@MissJ619 totally some days I wish I was a 9/5 Office job family mortgage kind of person

Same here! I related to her a lot. My dad did a ton of pills and dope when I was a kid and was a super artsy chef who wrote poetry and painted and whatnot. He was always so cool in my mind... Then he died when I was 12 due to drugs and by the time I was 16 I was smoking weed daily and doing dope occasionally. Dunno why, it just always seemed "cool" to me

Like smoking cigarettes when I was a teenager. It was not only cool when my favorite stars lit up in the movies and TV you know we were taught it would keep you skinny!! I Hell ya I smoked, drank TAB and danced around in my legwarmers to Footloose soundtrack. It cracks me up that I smoked the skinny Capris Cigs! WTF? LOL Then I was introduced to good old coke. Yes, us Valley girls cruised around and called it all kinds of cutsie names like booger sugar, California snow, toot sweet, and I am sure others. It was all romanticized at every angle by the beautiful people. The only people who said anything bad about it was Nancy Reagan on tv saying "Just Say No" That was not glamorous and when Nicholas Cage or Rob Lowe ever noticed me and my friends, we were going to look cool! 🤩🙄

Same..

On the inside and out ! She deserves better ...deserves to be happy .

absolutely beautiful

Yeah she is, reminds me of my ex ha

He has done showings and produced a book or two. One had limited printing so to get a used one would be $2000.00. Check out his interview on Koncrete. Project would take too much time away from this project.

@@E4Sierra Yes. I really liked that interview but couldn't remember the name. Thanks!😊

@@marylougeorge9890 Do you know Mark personally? How would you know that "project would take too much time"?

@@krizzlec bc he is now working f.t. on these videos, and has a f.t. dedicated employee

I hope she gets to rehabilitation. She needs help!

my fave too :-)

Omg Same! I own that DVD one of my all time Favorite movies everrrr!! 🤩😍✌🏽

It's all happening!

Awesome movie 🍿

Mine too it has been for years .. it’s the only movie I can stand to watch time and time again

Agreed! I couldn’t keep up.

She’s high ( I believe) my sister is a heroin addict and she does the same.It’s so sad, to see and hear the one you Love addicted to the Monster.

Agree

@@missychase3014 I know, seems a nice person but not sure if you could have a conversation with her.

The 11 year old has been adopted out. She's been high since she was 15. I don't think she knows any other life. It's a shame because she does a potential. I pray that she one day finds peace

Yeah. That’s a great idea. If ur in la la land. Why do people think shit is so simple smfh

@@annaxefta587 What, art is simple.

@@mariebernier3076 is it? Is art simple?

Why can't it be that simple?

@@annaxefta587 what exactly isn't simple enough about what Latrice said? What is it that's so far fetched about an artist doing art or for two people to work together? Life isn't always super simple or seamless or easy, I'm not saying everything is easy or pretty but also life is exactly what you believe it is.. you are the creator of your own chaos.. if you choose the right perspective, life very well can be just THAT simple. I'm genuinely interested in what you have to say, if you care to elaborate and enlighten me.

I don't know about her level of self awareness. To me she sounded kind of separated from reality.

Google him he has 2 books too.

Dope is always close.. no matter where you are. If only it was as "easy" as moving away and blocking numbers.. Most dealers are not just on call btw.. you not only know how to find them, they know how to find you too as you've become a source of income. It's nice of you to try n give advice tho :)

Not true, it takes your entire mental to snap, you have to break. Source: 6 years abusing or prescription opiates heavily daily, mixing in any other downers I found. Once I met fenty, things changed fast. A year and a half on the stuff and I checked myself into detox for a week, then started seeing a doctor. Sixteen months clean, and I did this ALONE. Meaning, I didn't have anybody to help me, take me places while I was in withdrawal and feeling like killing myself because I just wanted the misery to stop. No one to push me to do the right thing but me and my drive, my desire to achieve what I had been lost on for near a decade. I didn't delete any numbers, I admitted to myself I was helpless, I did this to myself, and that I was DONE being sorry for myself and making excuses, most of all, sick and tired of being sick, broke and tired. You CAN do it if you want to. Don't take that from me, or the rest of us who decided to take a walk down into hell and we actually made it back.

@@xoxoxo5286 word 🆙 and congratulations!

@@BaskiHighT @ Exactly!!! Facts!!! Every small town has just as much now adays as the big cities do. I’ve worked with the homeless since 2004. I’ve seen& heard every story under the sun ☀️❤️‍🩹 and Fentanyl and Heron are the two drugs thst are the hardest to beat. It may take yrs and more then a few times at giving it a go. For the last 7 yrs I’ve worked with street kids age 16-30 yrs old. It’s hard I have to walk away each night and leave these kids on the cold Canadian streets at night. Some are in shelters. Shared living accommodations . But some even the adults are right were they want to be. Nobody can want it bad enough it’s up to that individual!! ❤️‍🩹🤷🏽‍♀️😭 it’s truly heartbreaking 💔❤️‍🩹🙏🏽🇨🇦

Going to jail often does the trick. Almost everyone that got clean when I worked in Harm Reduction withdrew in the clinker and decided to stick with it and stay clean. A few used Methadone. But now that Suboxone is available that seems like a good alternative.

Fr tho

But not as ditzy

Totally. I kept thinking she looked like Madonna!

She’s a cute girl but I definitely do not see Madonna. Lol

That is so sad.

@@stephaniehelms950 I think her marriage to Jeremy Jackson was troubled and abusive. She got addicted to Crystal Meth. Cut her hair short. Lost some teeth. She is a shadow of what she was. I seen pictures of her wandering around Skid Row pushing her trolley with her possession s.

@@ItsSauIGoodman I saw, I enjoyed their conversation. She seems like a really intelligent person. And an interview subject is the person being interviewed. lol

Congrats on the sobriety. I'm a week from my 5 years, I grew up in Paradise and Magalia, unfortunately! I'm also an addict, opiates / meth /💉. Anyways thought it was interesting your in Chico, I grew up in that area. Take care, be safe!

@@Virgolove27 I have so much respect for you guys, keep doing what you do, im proud of you

@@Virgolove27 same to you!! Congrats! xo

yes!!!! Great movie by the way!

I noticed that as well! But who wouldn't.

Hahah yes she is

When? I don't think so.

I don't think so, I think she was just genuinely interested in his work and passion for photography. She even admits in the video that she loves talking to people and really getting to know them
