Well, howdy there internet people, let's bow again.

So today we are going to talk about change and we're going to check in on somebody that we talked

about a lot last week or maybe the week before.

If you remember there was a series of videos that was prompted when a person who was just immersed in content that promoted just toxic masculinity.

They sent in this message and it was clear

they wanted to change. And it was talking about some observations and some

questions that they had.

Thanks for this response video or thanks for the response videos.

Somebody in the comments said I should or thanks for the response videos.

Somebody in the comments said I should use the 12 steps from AA.

I am not religious, but try to apply it as best I could because I want to change.

As far as making amends and getting forgiveness of the four I've contacted to try to

apologize and explain, not one would talk to me.

They were pretty rude, but I guess that's to be expected.

Apologizing and forgiveness,

apologizing and forgiveness guilt trips are things that commonly get used to manipulate people.

So I was thinking about making a video on YouTube to apologize and say that I'm changing, maybe even make a channel to

document my journey. But then I think about the pressure of a channel and I'm not sure.

I'm also curious about how to make amends or get forgiveness if I can't even talk to them. I got this shortly before I tuned into Reverend Ed's live stream.

If you don't know, he's on YouTube.

Somebody had broken into his church,

taking his AV equipment.
