so 2021 is here and
we are off to just a fantastic start
aren't we
it's wonderful and you know since 2020
was such a great year no
boy does it show like if i take just the
youtube comments
section alone the amount of pain and
anger being displayed down there so
especially around the holiday period
there are actual comments
that made me cry and not because oh it
hurt my fit no
just because the amount of pain that
people have to be in to leave so
but i'm lucky i i'm fortunate i have
that that block or hide user from
channel button and i will tell you i
exercise it freely because we don't need
that down there
but it got me thinking that not
everybody has
that button especially with with all the
fatigue of the world and everything
around us the number of people who work
in the service industry
or in essential services or for that
matter
the people who have dedicated their
lives to
learning how to work in a hospital and
take care of people
only to then be attacked and hated on by
those people and just
the amount of just the world has just
when all of this started i genuinely i
thought i believed i
really believed that we would be united
together
against a common enemy and it would
really just bring humanity together as a
whole
and that just i didn't that didn't play
out the way i expected at all but but
here we are and
quite frankly i refuse
i refuse to lose i refuse to give in to
just saying okay well this is the way
the world is now
it's just a bit of a throw away we'll
just we'll let them have it i'm not
gonna
i'm not gonna let them win and
this this none of this was i i didn't
actually plan to make this
video today uh we tokyo just went back
into
a state of emergency that might be
spreading across japan there were other
videos
but they're gonna have to wait and they
can't wait i wasn't gonna put up
anything this week and then just with
everything the way it is i
wanted to sit down i felt it was i
needed to address
the the world in the state that it's in
and
put this message out there
we're all tired this has been going on
for
a very very long time it has definitely
hit some people
harder than others and some people have
actually done
quite well through it or at least
surviving quite well
and if you're one of those people if
you're
doing okay if you have even just a
little bit of extra energy there's
something i want to ask of you we'll
call it a bit of a favor if you will you
see a couple days ago i was having a bad
day i really
one of the worst days i've had since all
of this
started and a friend reached out to me
in that timing and lent an ear and it
made
all the world of difference and i want
to
pay that for i think the world honestly
needs
a little bit more of that right now like
if you are doing okay if you feel like
you've got that little bit of extra
energy inside of you i want to ask you
from me
to you reach out to somebody do you have
a friend who's working in essential
services do you have a friend who's in
the service industry in a restaurant or
maybe even worse in a hospital or a
clinic who
you know maybe at the beginning you
talked to them a little more but lately
you haven't really had the time or you
know
the conversation i don't know maybe it
got a little repetitive and you didn't
want to keep asking the same things do
me a favor
reach out to them when was the last time
when was the last time you gave your mom
a call
like honestly i i should i should give
my mom a call
actually i think right after this i'm
gonna give my mom a call hi mom
my mom watches all of these and i love
her for that but
that little act can make all the
difference and i
absolutely i said it before i absolutely
positively
refused to give in to the negativity and
the anger and i feel like so many
i have watched long-term commenters of
this channel people who i have loved
interacting with over the years
throughout the period of all of this
just crumble and disintegrate go from
beautiful to a little negative to really
angry to
i it broke my heart and through the
youtube comments section
there's only so much kindness i can give
but that's why when i see you guys
giving kindness to each other down in
the comments section we're supporting
each other or connecting with
each other it means all the world to me
because i think people need that
now more than ever and so that's it
that's all
i wanted to really talk about today if
you have
a little bit of extra energy a little
bit of extra time in your day you don't
have to
box off a list of people reach out to
one person
one person who you think let's just make
the world just a little bit better than
it is today for somebody just just for
one person
all right it is officially one o'clock
in the morning
and it's cold out here so i'm gonna i'm
gonna hop on my bike
i'm gonna head home and i'll see you
guys again soon
you
