    Hey Matt- WOW, honesty, vulnerability, integrity, reflective tendeness still grounded in reality, humor, WOW ... YES ! Setting high standards for defining a "man" for your own little girl to possibly measure her own relationships in the future. We don't parent perfectly ever, because this human experience offers lots of opportunities for experiencing our lives, opportunities for deciding daily "Who am I today?" AND dang our kids have free will just like we do! In retrospect and reflection as a parent, with a grown child well on his own, maintaining those esteemable characteristics of being a parent (to the best of One's ability) really matters when all is said and done.
    Your channel offers ample opportunity to make big ripples in the World! Those ripples can stir up the mucky bottom, gently lap the shores or can even change the shoreline! A big Thank you for all the kids with parents who are watching your channel - you just expanded our collective dialogue! 👍💖

    My first love was when I was 16. I’m 53 now I have been with him ever since then ! It has been a lot of ups and downs. We have struggled very hard. We’ve lost a son 7 years ago and it bought ripped us apart. We have struggled very much financially since then, but I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to do this with anybody else. It’s been 38 years we have been married. Thank you for sharing.❤😊

    Loved getting to know you a bit better. Thank you for sharing! I'm divorced after 19 years and afterwards it took me a while to be grateful for those years in my life that were filled with fun times and happy memories too. Thank you for reinforcing that it's okay to remember those times. 💜

    I eased into your world toward the end of the last chapter. I now watch each night as a wind down before going to sleep. I find these episodes somehow comforting, a little familiar but also not so much. I’m moving between life chapters right now and it’s cool to see how someone else approaches what I am finding to be profound change. I just wanted to chime in from the sidelines and say that I appreciate your approach to presenting your storyline of the human condition. It’s unique, nuanced, cool. One of the things I love about RUclips is if you dig around through the junk you can find a lot of great stories from ordinary people just living their lives. I’m glad I found your corner and I’m here for wherever the journey goes.

    Well, well, well....the man speaks of love and loss.... and paints a lovely portrait with it as well. Thanks for taking me into a story of young love and all of the emotions that go with it. I thoroughly enjoyed this . Because, like you say, don't let the ending take away from the wonderful moments. Good lesson there, and it actually made me adjust my memory bank a bit, because I think it was a bit off kilter!! Can't wait for the next..

    Yes indeed…each relationship, Romantic or otherwise, is a building block to who we become….although hard to see while happening, being in my 60s now I can look back and see the trail left behind as well as the evolution of Me! 😊 Having one real love for 33 years…marriage…kids…a lifetime of memories as well as a loss due to his passing beyond measure …and now still searching for the new normal…yes still stepping through stones seeking the full circle

There are days (well you can guess)… 😢 However, I will go on, (I am a hopeless romantic) but our time was too short. 🙏🏼❤️ I’m praying for you to find true love again. ❤️🙏🏼

Love hearing your past for some reason. I guess following you for couple years now, I feel like I know you as a close friend and I like to learn your past as that’s what made the Matthew we all know & love today. Keep the awesome videos rolling out as your close subscribers will be patiently waiting!

    Every relationship can teach us something if we let it. I have had some great, as well as not so pleasant, relationships yet I look back with fondness and laughter and positive stories because each man that entered and left my life taught me something valuable. And the one who meant the most to me taught me to love myself as he did and that I mattered and was special, before he passed away. He was my night in shining armour. Thank you for sharing something as intimate and defining as your first love. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels honoured. ❤

  • @bobtailedtrucker2521
    @bobtailedtrucker2521 Год назад

    First loves are the ones that will always have our hearts. Things move on due to many circumstances, but if the need for affection is still needed, we move on with our lives. No one can be the first love you once had, but they can eventually your soul mste/forever friend/love. Moving forward is a far better alternative than constantly looking back on bad times. Repetition in ares may be your best bet in finding another, regardless of having to move from place to place. Cheers and we all love this channel for you and the joy you bring us!!!

    Great vlog. Sadly my first love died in a motorcycle crash on the day we got engaged, I was 17 he was 19, I'm 65 now so can talk about him I just don't like motorcycles no more. I often wonder how long we would have been together. I've been married twice since, 12 years both times, none of the divorces were my fault, the first used to beat me up the second became alcoholic. Now I'm single and staying that way, I'm happy apart from illness prevents me working so money is very scarce. Xx

    My first love was Bruce Willis. I can't say I've had much success in relationships since then, and then in 2016 I discovered I do better on my own so I have been blissfully happy single since then, which is a far cry from everyone else in my immediate family who all enjoy the long term relationships I just couldn't seem to find.

    Swimming pools, tracks to run around (inside) We still have them in Oklahoma. I have been single for about 35/37 years. I will leave this earth that way too. But, I am blessed. I really mean that. To have had those two awesome boys of mine for 18 and 28 years. My daughter lives in Colorado with her family. She loves the mountains. They'll never come home to Oklahoma. She hikes 14,000 ft. peaks. My grandsons look so pooped in the pictures I have of them hiking those trails. :-) She just looks ready to go again! One tough young lady! I love them a whole whole bunch! Gosh, you've got me looking back at years and years of life. Some really fun and awesome - some, welllllll - not so good. But I have a journey facing me! We all do. Gosh what are we gonna do???? All kinds of fun things to do. Places to see. But I always like to return home! Oh yeah. It's true home is where the heart is!!! God Bless you Matthew!

    My first love's name was Rick. We had been friends since elementary school and started dating in the tenth grade. That moment I thought we would be together forever we were sitting at a campfire just snuggled next to each other holding hands. He used to mindlessly rub my palm with his thumb-I still miss that time. My mom still asks me how he is doing. I think she was certain he was the one too ... Yeah, THAT was a bad break-up. This brought back those feels...THANKS MATTHEW!!! Just kidding, great video - just don't make me cry again 🤗

    Your story is nice in the sense of knowing how you felt from a man's perspective. Men don't often share deep feelings like that. First love is wonderful! Unfortunately, they usually don't last. Fortunately, there are more to come and those deep wonderful feelings return. Hope you find your forever love.❤ I think you would be a real catch!
