I think it will take consistency. If you look at some of the successful youtubers you see they always find their audience. I think you will do to.

Good luck living life and I will be checking out your channel!

I don't take nuelasta injections or claritin D, to keep it 100% real I never even heard of these things.. just googled claritin d now.

**** brah I wish I could help u with this bonepain somehow but I've got 0 insight to offer.. where does it stem from?
The shots help me grow more white blood cells to fight infections and be able to do more rounds of chemotherapy in shorter amounts of time with little recovery. The WBC is grown in your bones and you can feel it. I'm going to stop though and try some other stuff, just too weary and pretty sure my heart is gonna give out soon if I don't. Fukk that.

Pina Coladas? Come to the States and I'll make you a proper drink.

Keep doing you and being awesome!

Wow,, what a survivor bruh... God bless
It is better to die on your feet, than to live a lifetime on your knees

a coward dies a thousand deaths, a soldier dies but one.

The odds are great
But my spirit is strong,
My faith unbreakable,
My blood is pure.
I SHALL ENDURE!
I WILL ENDURE!

the strength of a gesture, a thought with no voice

Not yet in remission but one day I will be.

Yes to lifting but can't right now. Actually been mostly focused on endurance sports, it keeps my mind from going nuts. Honestly this isn't that difficult, just ready to get back to work. And tired of dealing with the never ending doctors sticking me.

Don't feel bad, sometimes I like wine spritzers, no homo. Added you on IG, good stuff.

Thanks for the inspiration and thread, be well and good luck to you in all that you do.

best news all day breh, srs


nah all jokes aside, we tried looking in to legal action but in belgium **** doesn't work like that.. I'd be a millionaire in the US... in belgium it's basically impossible to sue over something like that, they're protected by the justice system in a way


shiiit if I do run I'll just get a parttime as a bartender or something, I dunno... I really don't worry about money that much, like I always find ways to make some loot but gotta be careful talking about **** on the interwebs

Yep, the hurry up and wait game. At some points I just tell them to do whatever and don't even tell me about it. The weirdest part is figuring out the important information to keep from people and what to tell people. No use scaring others but also don't want to keep people in the dark. That's a weird line to walk. Ya feel me?

I'm a product manager and a chef.

Didn't see your sig, thought you were from LA originally. I'm really not surprised that you're doing well though tbh, the real world doesn't care about facial aesthetics like the misc and just the fact that you're decently jacked and tall I'm sure makes up for your deformity, it would be different if you had a face like people who have acid thrown on them but I'm not surprised most women can overlook a small part of the jaw missing.

i totaly agree bro

i get weirded out all the time when people tell me they cried n ****, i honestly dont feel like im acomplishing much but ive noticed people seem to like this type of **** somehow, so i decided to roll the dice on the youtube thing while i could just as well be sitting home "recovering" cuz im stil waiting on surgeries

so basically im just having a great ****ing life, and cuz of my face people feel sympathetic somehow.. i never walk aroudn thinking "man im such a fighter, im beating this cancer thing" lol, im just like "yeah **** happened lets move on"

the big boi benzo persona is a real part of my personality but everytime i film im basically lit to the max, way calmer in real lifel lol

would be great if i could make this **** my living

I think what you are doing is great brother, just keep doing what you are doing...people like you have such a huge impact on the people around them. It changes the whole energy of the situation and puts others in a good mood, and it sounds like it is a conscious decision that you have made to have this attitude - so kudos to you my friend.

Not trying to make light of it but what you have been through with the cancer and the jaw surgery is a good angle for a youtuber, it is a point of differentiation and people will respond to that I think. It seems to be the way that once you reach a tipping point the momentum picks up and you will pick up a heap more subscribers, success breeds success.

Regardless brother, it is such a breath of fresh air to see someone with an attitude like yours - keep spreading the positive energy mate
