Just wanted to give y’all some context. I’m back. Oh and here’s the quote I do sloppily recited:
“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” Earnest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms
“Being with your brain & not being scared of it.” Felt that. I feel like we all met your soul in this one. Stay strong!!
Det ❤er en gode tale du holder ❤
Good for you, Dylan! A wise man once told me when things aren't right where you're at in life, pack a bag and follow the wind. In 1977, when I was 21, things weren't going my way and didn't know what to do with my life. Decided to leave my hometown on a backroads cross country trip with no destination or goal other than to be honest and real. 46 years later, leaving the security of the known for the unknown has rewarded me greatly. Great things happen to those who challenge the world. Great things are coming your way!
Dylan, it's so good to hear from you again. A lot of the things you struggle with truly resonate with me. I appreciate you for being so brave and honest to talk about your mental health. As a gay man and future therapist, I know where you are coming from. Sending love and light to you.❤
Outstanding Dylan. What a adventure for you!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm 51 and suffer from depression and serious anxiety. You are a brave and strong man. Proud of you Dylan!! You got this! Let's Go!!! 💪💪👑👑
You’re a real humanist, Dylan! It’s beautiful! Keep being you!
HEY DYLAN,
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM FOR WHAT YOU ARE DOING,
TAKE CARE
Loved hearing your positive story of how you have clawed your way back from your depression and substance abuse. The world needs positive stories like this. You are a thoughtful and perceptive person and you have learned a lot in your relatively short life. Glad to see you back on YT passing on some of what you've become aware of.
You're brave to do this!! Lot's of memories for you and all for a great cause.
Dylan you are so beautiful, and I mean it not only physicality but from within. You have a good soul and I am so happy to hear you are doing well because you deserve it.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but it's much, much easier to recognize someone's "inner beauty" when they're attractive to us.
It's called the "what's-beautiful-is-good hypothesis" in psychology.
People perceive attractive targets as having more desirable interpersonal traits and being more motivated to form social bonds relative to unattractive targets.
I'm not saying Dylan seems like a bad bloke, not at all, just that this comment is deeply invocative of that particular psychological phenomenon.
@Clint Waltman I agree, but my comment was inspired by the way he talks and behaves because at the end of the day this is what matters the most.
@@StefanDimitrovBG I do feel bad for saying that because I know your intentions were pure.
And I know I said so with a healthy dose of envy.
There's just another channel, a balding late 30's college professor, who has probably got 10% of Dylan's prescribers and he's effing -BRILLIANT- (Dylan's more of an advocate than an ideologue). Just never hear how beautifully he talks and behaves 😛.
Thanks for being an inspiration to many 🙏🏼
Dylan - enjoyed your video - look forward to hearing more from you in the future - you are a thoughtful, gentle soul - God bless
Dylan, I don’t know how I ran across your video but I just want you to know that this has inspired me a lot, especially after a recent incident in my life that has made me question the stability of my mental health. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome, Dylan. Thanks for sharing and being ever more real. 💛🕊
You are phenomenal Dylan! Thanks for sharing your wonderful energy. I'll be cheering for you.
You have inspired me Dylan in a lot ways
Respect!!..
I feel your struggle buddy. I can relate to your pain. You are not alone.
Dylan, How much do I appreciate your soul touching mine? "You are the 1st and only social media anything, in all these years, that I have ALL notifications ON."
I wish you love and light as you travel on ALL your journeys.
When you reach your "quickening" take notes.
Remember all you see, hear, and feel. REMEMBER and keep it within.
This is the "one moment in time" when it ALL comes together. Don't let go of it, or take it for granted.
Please keep it in the place where your Conscious, Subconscious, and Superconscious meet.
This is the moment, the reality of, love, light, and joy. The complete connection of your mind, soul, and spirit to EVERY ENERGY, EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE across time and space.
My brother, remember...
🌈🙏😇🌞😎🏝️🌎🪐🌠🌌🦄
It's good for you to find inspiration to get up and how walking have helped you for the better. I hope you'll continue to grow and keep on walking 👍
Es bueno verte resurgir !! Buenas vibras Dylan
Thank you for letting us or taking us with you. Your loved. Take care.
Great story. Progress on your journey is huge in personal development and miles covered. Both so valid!
Peace, truth, and love ...
Hey Dylan I love that your walking across the country . I always wanted to see and meet all the people of this country . I hope you will record some of your experience so we can all see it with you . Good luck ! ❤
You're awesome. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Many of us go through stuff and need to hear similar experiences.
Just stumbled upon you today. Your journey is encouraging to me. I, too, am a product of self destructive behavior as a result of depression and anxiety. I recently quit my job and now I'm staring at the 4 walls trying to figure out what to do next. Your video is inspiring. Hopefully, that was your goal. Peace. ❤
Welcome back. Thank you for sharing your journey physically and methodically. I’m glad you’re back in the platform. We’ve been waiting for you. ♥️
Just found this video, I appreciate your openness to talk about mental health and this video spoke to me. Thank you for spreading your experience and your love.
Awesome bis!!!
Followed you for a long time Dylan and you’ve grown into an incredible young man 🙏🏻
Keep us posted and be safe out there as you are walking alongside vehicular traffic. I cannot wait to hear your next video.
Your journey of self discovery is really awesome and motivational! Always been a fan, love your thoughtful, sweet demeanour. You are wise beyond your years and such a pleasure to listen to. Just love your beautiful smile, the more the better Dylan! Onward and upwards my friend. ❤
I’ve seen some of your early videos and then some of your post-army blues and it seems like you are getting your shit together. Well done and good luck
Happy for you and love what you are doing. Social media can be the downfall of people if you let it. Going to keep track of what you are doing! Take care my friend!
I live in Albuquerque! I can’t believe I missed you! Good luck in your journey Dylan!
Beautiful person… take good care of yourself ❤
You are an important voice on the dangers of social media and really have the potential to help a lot of people. I hope you are doing well ❤
Great to see you again. I'm excited about your future. When the time comes that you can specifically share what happened, we are here for you. I can tell it is bubbling and it needs to come out. Hopefully, soon all military will be able to talk openly about the horrific tasks they had to do on a daily basis. Dylan, walk and talk it out. Manifest your future so you can help others do the same. You ROCK!
Dylan! You are doing amazing! I respect you for sharing your thoughts, feelings, and emotions and wish you the very best! Its a tough world sometimes and at times I really hate it too but like you said we got to take a moment and look at the good or positives. I’m sorry to hear your stepfather passed away, death is never easy but at least his life is at peace.
Also don’t feel shameful about yourself years ago, they are memories to look back at and enjoy and reminisce about. I loved all your old video’s and everything you were doing then and what you are doing now. Keep being inspiring and be safe on your journey!
Very proud of you, and I know Tom is, too. Take care and be safe. All my love ❤🫶🏼
You’re a beautiful person Dylan and the people that will support you will follow your progress. Mental health is in crisis and we need to take care of ourselves.
Dylan,
For those of us that have been around from the very beginning, we have literally watched you grow up and have seen your highs and lows. To now witness not only, you work through your struggles but to have a perspective on the why and how. For some it takes years of therapy to figure it out and for others they never do. You are so brave and I admire your strength both mentally and physically. Keep working on yourself because through that work you help others tremendously❤
Glad to see you back my dude!! You look great! Stoked to hear about your adventures along the way. When you’re in Oregon hmu!!
Good to see you again ❤❤
Hey Dylan! You have a power within you to inspire others! More power and God bless
I've always enjoyed watching your videos. Wrestler, poet, writer, singer, etc. So very talented and look pretty good too and intelligent as well. Keep going forward. We got your back.
Hey whatsup Dylan. Listen man, I got a huge smile on my face when I saw you posted. It’s always a badass time to hear your voice taking on new things or just hearing you in general.
I’m in a bad place mentally at the moment, and I’ve tried my hardest to see the silver linings in life, but the negative thoughts give my good judgment a voracious fight everyday.
Despite the darkest little thoughts in my mind, I proudly stand still…ALIVE!
I just wanted you to know that each and every single one of our battles are great and smoldering testaments to our experience and existence as human beings. Idk where or how life goes but I do know that my mind is with you, racing and beating to find the finish line as you walk across the world. ❤️
So beautiful inside and out, thanks for sharing your feelings and being so intimate, in a platonic way.
Wow !!! Awesome Video !!! Very inspirational !! Looking forward to learning more on this journey !!!
Dylan I have been watching you for a long time. You are a brilliant guy and watching you made me feel good about you and your positive impact. This country desperately needs smart guys like you on the front line of education and decisions. We need you to educate us because you are so grounded and logical. Looking forward to your future. Please be safe.
I'll do it soon too, I'm looking forward to it!
After watching “into the wild” I wanted to travel all state….I’m glad you r doing that..
So sweet Dylan, I have always liked appreciated you. Thank you much for trying to feel you, amongst this world that is so deeply not okay, no matter how unimpressive or how unimportant or how not special we are, we are just trying our best to feel our heart vulnerably as best we can imperfectly, aren't we. I have done the same narcissistic, self internal shame aspects in some form, because of my own pain, mostly childhood trauma too, but so thankful that amongst that all and even if I have had so much doubt in the past few years, especially with how deeply I am feeling everyone struggle too, that I feel so utterly thankful that I can still be here too, feel myself. See you glow a bit in your own tenderness, sweetness that is so much more than how we appear, even if I scaredly these days with anxiety hide behind tightness, image some or aggression because of how things affect me. Thank you for hearing me too, I do like you much though too. Good thoughts to you while we continue to move through our lives as we can.
You, and many people of your generation, talk in ways that reflect profound thinking, very well expressed. You are rising up to the challenges you face and you will overcome them. You’ll do a lot of good for yourselves and for others. And you need to keep writing. I love your poetry.
I am glad that your mental health has improved in the last year! As a therapist, I fully support your walk across America and hope that everything goes well for you.
Hi Dylan, I just finished watching your walking across America video. I never wrote to you before, but I first found you in your coming out video, which I was pretty inspired by your advice to other people who haven't come out yet. Fast forward I watchEd your vids when you went to LA and they were pretty entertaining, but then you disappeared and so did your videos.
Then you posted vids of you bein in the Army, so I figured you were trying to grow up and find yourself. Then I watched your book release as well as some of your poetry and music vids, I said to myself this guy has some real talent and is a super deep thinker.
Fast forward to now and upon watching this latest video, you seem to be a guy who is still trying to find yourself. You are one of the last people I would have thought would suffer from depression issues, but it can happen with anyone.
I just want to te!all you, first make sure re you love yourself! I don't know you but you always seemed to be a deep down to earth buy in your videos, I am not shocked that you got away from the social influencers in LA. Thank god that you did.
With all of the people I have met, the highly artistic people are super deep thinkers on another level. It may seem to be a curse to you, but you have an abi!it to get messages across to other leople , which is a talent not a lot of people have.
With your admission about xepression, I sin merely hope you have gotten a handle on it, you have to believe that
This world would be a worse place without you. Your never alone!
I sincerely hope you succeed in your journey, this country has a lot to offer with being one with nature as well as meeting a lot of other people. Life is too short not to experience life everyday as best as you can. Hopefully you will read this and I hope it makes a difference to you. Keep up thevideos, a lot of people would still love to follow your journey.
Tim
Dylan
Superb video.
Since i start following you, i follow because of you, so whatever endeavor or thing you start to do and share with us, i am in, it’s great to follow you in this journey that is life, and as long as you want to share with us, whatever you want to share, cool.
Wish you the best, always. 🫡👊⚡️
Greetings from mexico 🇲🇽✋
Depression will not ease anytime soon in Western world. Our societies created mental health crises by forcing us into a cycle of chasing unattainable dreams made up of gluttonous lifestyles full of materialism and luxury. We then work ourselves into the grave trying to attain social status and material wealth so that our peers accept us as successful people who are worthwhile of friendships, attention, and respect. I live in NYC and I’m constantly going through cycle of depression, self loathing and feeling extremely lonely even-though I supposedly have friends and surrounded by family. The gay community here amplifies these problems that you’re just better off isolating yourself than letting people continue to disappoint and hurt you.
Awe lots of hugs. Wish I could walk with you like a mile or two haha respectively I understand the solitude that’s desired so I’ll cheer you on. 🙌🏽🙌🏽☺️☺️☺️
This is your walk-about. Australians have a journey into their desert. There’s another in Spain, El Camino de Santiago, spans 500 miles in 30 days or so.
This is such a fulfilling hard-as-fuck endeavor. All that planning, effort, permits: your journey must come from within. Best of luck.
Wow! Wow! Wow! It takes a humongous amount of courage to be able to open up to your RUclips's audience like you just did Sir.
I really admire how early on in your life, even if you were the "jock style" athletic type of guy, you were able to accept who you were and live your life as you really are. I'm a 64 year old gay man out to only a few people.
I have been practicing a lot of the things you are talking about like being thankful etc but always found meditation challenging, so I would really appreciate if you could talk more about how you do it.
Congrats, thanks and all the best to the beautiful old soul that you are!
Hey Dylan just started watching your journey you have this strong energy with a attractive personality with heart it’s so beautiful to see I’m really enjoying your content wishing you a safe passage on your travels walking across America I wanna support towards your charity fund please send link ✌️
This is my introduction to you and your channel. I am from Albuquerque and currently live here (I spent 12 years in Oklahoma and returned to NM in '94). Hope you enjoyed your short stay here (our Mountains are a beautiful place to spend time!!) and that your journey as you left our city has been positive.
Congrats man :) reminds me a lot of the movie Wild
I struggle with my mental health every day. I'm getting treatment now, but over the years, I've found a few things that have helped me along the way. The most helpful thing to me has been sobriety, so that I'm not covering up repressed feelings or anxiety with anesthesia, and so I'm dealing with things that need to be dealt with. I've found that another thing that has been good for my long-term mental health has been remembering as much as possible so that there's nothing hiding from my conscious mind that would gnaw at me, like repressed memories of when I've been traumatized or otherwise shamed in a toxic way. I try not to worry about things over which I have no control. Another thing to remember is that perfection is an impossible standard, so don't hold yourself (or anyone else) to perfectionistic standards. I've found that learning to recognize when someone is trying to manipulate me is an immense help. Along those lines, I try not to care about what other people might think, while still being mindful of the possible consequences of my actions or inactions. I try not to apply unhelpful labels to myself or others. I try to act in ways that are in my own self-interest (keeping in mind that self-harm and suicide are not in my best interest). Finally, I am open to trying things that have therapeutic value because when I tried taking antidepressants and antianxiety medication, a whole new world opened up to me. I would love to see an end to the stigma associated with mental-health-related issues because when I started tending to mine, things started getting better. If everyone in the world felt free to tend to their own mental health issues, the world would be a much better place
Keep going. Keep videoing. It is good for you to talk to us. God is with you. Hang in there. You have much support here.
You got fuzzy and I love it ❤

As it comes going overseas... Poland.
I have just come across your video and felt I should fire a flare and set the next part of your soul journey.
Come to Poland bro.
Dylan, your amazing and what your doing is so inspiring. As someone who has been struggling with their mental health recently your words are helpful and comforting. Other than donating to your charities, is there any other way we can support you out there? Any way to send you things you may need ?
Me encanta tu contenido ❤
I wish I was that brave too
The day you accept your truly self, will be the day you stop feeling all that anxiety and fear 👀
It's been a lot of time .. we missed you man
❤
