YOU ARE STILL AVAILABLE
“You may have loved before…
and lost.
Trusted… and been disappointed.
Given… and not received.
And over time…
you began to close certain doors within yourself.
Quietly… respectfully… understandably.
But I want to offer you something…
without pressure… without expectation—
You are still available.
Not to repeat the past…
but to experience something more aware…
more present…
more real.
You are still available…
for connection.”
THE QUIET ROOM
“There are people…
sitting in quiet rooms…
living entire days without meaningful conversation.
No one asking how they really feel.
No one listening beyond the surface.
And over time…
silence becomes normal.
But it was never meant to be permanent.
You were not created
for a life without connection.
Even now…
something in you knows that.”
IT IS NOT TOO LATE
“It is not too late…
to experience connection in a meaningful way.
Not too late to be understood.
Not too late to feel something real…
without pressure… without pretense.
Life does not close that door with age.
We do…
when we begin to believe
it no longer belongs to us.
But it does.
It still does.”
“There comes a time in life… When performance becomes exhausting. Trying to be impressive… trying to be enough… trying to be what others expect. And something inside you begins to say— I don’t want to perform anymore. I just want to be… and be accepted in that. That is not giving up. That is awakening. That is where real connection begins.”
STRONG BUT ALONE
“Some of the strongest people you know…
are quietly lonely.
They have learned how to endure.
How to function.
How to carry life… without asking for much.
But strength…
does not eliminate the need for connection.
It only hides it well.
And even the strong…
deserve to be seen…
without having to hold everything together.”
STILL DESIRING CONNECTION
“There are people who feel embarrassed…
because they still desire connection.
Still desire companionship.
Still desire to be held… understood… known.
And somewhere along the way…
they were made to feel
that this should have faded by now.
Let me say this clearly—
There is nothing inappropriate
about wanting to be seen.
That desire…
is not immaturity.
It is life… still speaking.”
NOT DEPRESSION—DISCONNECTION
“Some people are not depressed…
they are disconnected.
There is a difference.
Depression says something is wrong within you.
Disconnection says something is missing around you.
And you cannot medicate the absence of presence.
You cannot prescribe companionship.
But you can rediscover it.
And it may begin with something very simple…
being seen again.”

THE INVISIBLE YEARS by MARK CARVEN OLDS
"There are people… who have not felt a genuine connection in years. And no one knows. They show up… they function… they smile… But something inside has gone quiet. Not because they are broken… But because life moved forward… And no one came back for them. I want to say this gently— You are not forgotten. You are still available for connection.”
AN EXCERPT FROM: THE PATHWAY OF CONSCIOUS INTIMACY The Conscious Intimacy Manifesto A Declaration for Love in the Second Half of Life We affirm that love does not belong only to the young. The later seasons of life carry their own beauty, wisdom, and emotional depth. The years do not diminish our capacity for intimacy; rather, they refine it. We believe that conscious intimacy is the meeting of two individuals who approach a relationship with awareness, responsibility, and reverence for the lives they have lived. We recognize that by the time one reaches the second half of life, the heart has known triumph and disappointment, devotion and loss. These experiences are not barriers to love. They are the very teachers who prepare us for a more mature form of connection.
“A conversation about connection… companionship… and conscious intimacy.
Have you ever wondered if meaningful love is still possible… in the second half of life?
A place where mature hearts can talk honestly about connection.”

What happens when kindness isn’t enough—and desire remains unexplained?
The Nice Guy the Women Did Not Want is a novel that explores intimacy, self-awareness, and the quiet misunderstandings that shape attraction and connection. It is not a story of resentment, but of awakening—where being “nice” gives way to being conscious.
This short visual reflection invites viewers to pause, recognize themselves, and reconsider what intimacy truly asks of us.

"Poverty is not a condition — it’s a disease. And like any disease, it has a cure. That cure… begins with you. Join the Challenge. Download The Poverty Cured Movement Playbook today.” Mark Carven Olds, 2025
“Poverty Is Not a Condition — It Is a Disease. And Every Disease Has a Cure.”
- Mark Carven Olds, 2025
Because this isn’t just a message — it’s a Movement.
It’s not a speech to be remembered. It’s a summons to be answered.
A call to turn conviction into contribution. A challenge to see poverty not as destiny — but as design. And design, when broken, can be rebuilt.
This is the work of healing systems. This is how we diagnose despair and prescribe dignity. This is how we cure what others called inevitable.
