Mark E Miller

I somewhat agree, but I want to see him succeed. It sucks seeing other millenials like myself lose the optimism that we had when we were younger. And with gay dudes like him, and myself as a bi guy if you don't have a wife then you start to feel like the perfect birthday cake that nobody picked up from the store.

Idk how to describe it, what could Columbus bring him here that Chicago, or LA hasn't brought him?

Where does he go 10 years from now? He's a handsome guy who seems incredibly kind, but his life seems stagnant and he does seem to be over the hill. (No hate intended.)
He's in a prison of his own making.

He may be in his mid thirties, but hes still handsome for his age and muscular, so finding potential partners shouldnt be an issue, espcially in gay world where having children isn't a big deal. He's mentioned that he's tried to be in a few relationships but it's not gotten very far. That seems like a him problem.

I think after his break up with Ethan, he's never gotten over it, and the therapy is to cope with the fact that he blames himself and doesn't realize that he and Ethan wanted different things in life.

He can be a big fish in a small pond in Columbus. He's already tried LA and I bet he found it exhausting.

Perused his YT page the other night and he needs to get back to a Midwestern diet. He looks so gaunt in all the thumbnail images.

I agree with you. His peak YouTube content was so positive and creative. And at the time he had the world at his feet. His film making was innovative, positive and had high production values. It all started to unravel when he first moved to LA, and from that point on, it would appear he has totally lost his way. It’s hard to see what he might do with his life in 10 years because the residual reasons he still has a YouTube and Patreon following will have likely dissipated along with the income. He’s made absolutely no attempt to assemble an alternative sustainable source of purpose and income outside of social media. He’s virtually unemployable because he’s done nothing for the last 10 years that is translatable to a satisfying job. If he really does have mental health issues (as distinct from probable self-diagnosis), the outlook is not bright. It’s really sad because he was a torch bearer for showing young gay kids that lived in the middle of nowhere that there was a way forward and a reason to be optimistic.

Well said, for someone like him, what do you think comes next for him based on the directionlessness of his life? Just a slow fade into less internet relevance and more gray hairs or does he have a midlife crisis and go do something like go to graduate school?

He has actual skills/abilities when it comes to digital/video media. I don't get why he hasn't joined some studio/agency or founded his own.
 
he probably envisioned being married with kids with Ethan by now and because they broke up so suddenly it ruined his plans, but he's also old enough to realize when life gives you lemons you need to make a lemonade
But instead of making lemonade, he made lemon meringue, and because he's vegan, the eggs did a number on his stomach and he shat the bed
 
You are participating to it too hun. Of you weren’t, you would not be making those comments and replying to ours.

Don’t preach it if you can’t do it

I’m commenting on the behaviour. You’re defending it. Those aren’t the same thing. There’s a difference between visiting the zoo and joining the exhibit 🫪

I’m commenting on your behavior in fact.
How does it make you any better than anybody here to say what they want to say on Mark.

You blame their behavior, they blame his.

You’re no better.
