Philosophical musings about happiness and self-responsibility that caused some very varied reactions amongst his followers. The former reality show actor posted on Instagram, captioning it: “Happiness is a choice you make, sadness is a result of bad choices!”, with the video having mostly unintelligible audio. This was in the midst of a more spewed-out uproar about his personal life and past controversies.

Eason, who was connected with MTV’s ‘Teen Mom 2’ alongside his former partner Jenelle Evans, always passed through some kind of public scrutiny. His cryptic social media musings caught instant attention, with the sound on the video adding another layer of enigma to an already ambiguous quote. Followers quickly flocked to the comment section with their interpretations and advice-whether in support or harshly condemning.
One response was an injection of harsh reality: “Grow up dude, you really messed up with this one.” Comments similar to these express sentiments shared by observers who have followed the tumultuous relationship and its very public dissolution.
Another comment took a slightly more balanced approach, if no less pointed: “I think you messed up big time with losing this one. Sometimes you have to own your faults and be the bigger person.” While this comment continues to point the finger at Eason, it does offer some room for redemption through accountability.
Not all responses were harsh. One sympathetic fellow offered encouragement: “This sucks but in time you will find the happiness you deserve again David.” This comment is reflective of at least a portion of his audience that still holds hope for Eason’s development and well-being. This sentiment might remind some of Kailyn Lowry’s support for personal growth and happiness.
Somewhere in between all the heavy advice, a lighter, humorous suggestion appeared: Someone asked, “Is that a dirt bike?” thus dragging the conversation away from further seriousness.
David Eason himself and the responses to his posts are inseparable from his public image, whose chronicles have been splattered all over media coverage in recent years. His decisions, both in public and otherwise, have always been a subject of much debate among fans and detractors alike. This latest social-media update is very much an extension of that opportunity for public commentary on his philosophy as well as his gypsy past.
The various responses may well represent the public reaction to Eason; even as he is criticized for his actions today, there are those few that have pity for him with an eye for his possible redemption. This decision to post such a quote may very well be another catalyst for further debate about his life and his choices, for better or for worse. Meanwhile, fans continue to discuss the evolving dynamics of relationships within the Teen Mom franchise, highlighting both struggles and victories.
