In this episode, I talk about why I'm getting a tattoo for my friend Luke. Then I dive into how much money I make as a content creator and take you on the journey of getting our first sponsor of 2023. Finally, I take you guys through our memories of the Philippines, how I got catfished, and how I was rescued by a group of girls called Sorority on 6 :)

It’s hard to describe how special your content is. You share parts of your life and show us all the beautifully unique parts of being human, even the ones that aren’t aesthetically pretty or the ones that don’t make us feel good. It reminds me to enjoy the little things and still find brightness in my mistakes, in bad situations, and even in my feelings of sadness and loneliness. I wish I had some words of wisdom. The other comments have it. Thank you for inspiring us.

@@PhillipVuLook, even if you don't see this reply, I just wanna say that losing someone when you're not there, it's horrible. I had that happen to me, my great aunt, her name was Bonnie, she died of heart failure last year, and I didn't go with my family on vacation for that summer, and I wish I would've gone, and made the memories I'll never have. So, I hope you heal from Luke's death well, and find peace and the ability to make more memories with others, like Ponce, or anybody you find in your journey.

Regarding the end of the video… Everyone’s asked where I’ve been the last 3 months. I hope this explains it. I had to emergency fly back to America. Feeling really lost, hurt, and heartbroken right now. I'm going to spend Christmas and New Years in Berlin. (Luke and I always talked about partying in Berlin!) Next video should be up early January. Thanks for supporting me and I hope you enjoyed the video. 💕

out of every content creator ive subscribed to, and every creator ive ever seen, the stuff you produce for us, the life you share with us, and the experiences you explore with us, you make the most _human_ content ever. you show the human experience and what it's like to live life so well. because of how adventurous and brave you are, how vulnerable and emotional you are, how you sacrifice yourself to experience joy and share it with us, it's the story of humanity itself. and its so perfect in its imperfection. i love you man. you are doing amazing things without truly realizing it.

As someone who followed you because of your short form content, it's actually incredible how you made this 1hr and 6 min video so engaging for my TikTok rotted brain. The most relatable thing I felt was when you said that you never truly feel like anything is home. Being born as a Malaysian and growing up in the US. it was really hard for me to be identify with my culture and I guess my ethnic country. Seeing this video and seeing you travel really brought that light up into me and brought this sense of warmth from watching this video & seeing someone feel a similar way that i've felt before. If you still plan to keep on traveling I suggest coming to Malaysia and if i'm around i'd hope to be able to show you around or experience some cool things with you.

These videos capture parts of life that most people don’t recognize. They provide a cozy escape to the fast-paced society that we live in. This content also shows a side of a person most influencers don’t capture. It also shows the true meaning of life, gratitude and friendship. You and Ponce are gonna go far. I truly wish you the best. And rest in peace to Luke, a truly amazing person.

Your way of communicating is so unique from the rest of the world, and it's because you keep your whole life as transparent as a window. Every laugh, every tear, every victory, and every loss all comes together as your story that you put months upon monthes upon months just to share it with whoever is willing to listen. But we arent what's most important, because above all, it is YOUR story. This means that no matter what gets thrown at you, you are the one who decides if you stay down, or remember what you've learned, earned, and befriended and keep making your story one worth telling. ❤

We both come from totally different backgrounds and different lives but still I find a way to connect with myself and with what I dream of through your content. I've never known what I want to do or be but somehow watching your recent videos helps me figure that out. The storyboarding, editing, filming, everything; this video, you, your channel, what you represent, it all possesses something so magical, and more than just magical; it feels so real and raw and bright and beautiful and sad and hopeful; everything can and will turn around at any moment with ups and downs and lefts and rights and the lows suck so bad but the highs are just so beautiful, no matter how big or small; hold on to those memories, good or bad, with fondness and with love instead of with bitterness and regret. Keep your head up and stay strong and take all the time you need to heal and grow; remember the past with love and never forget about the great big beautiful tomorrow Thank you and much love

i lost my best friend, and december 29th will mark 3 months since he died. i understand exactly how you feel. the person you’ve known for what feels like forever, gone. someone who knew you better than your own family, gone. there’s no words someone can say, no actions, nothing anybody can do to heal you. it feels like your world ends. how can life continue when his was cut short? how can i keep living without my other half? it will get better. your life will grow around the grief. you will learn to carry it with you, take care of it, and take care of yourself. there will be a life before and after his passing. and it will not be easy, it will never be easy. but slowly, you’ll begin to live again. live with your grief. people will tell you time will heal your wounds and you’ll know damn well time can’t heal the pain of losing your best fucking friend. time does not heal you, but it teaches you. it teaches you how to live a new life. how to breathe. how to laugh and how to smile. it gets better, even though it feels like your life ended with his.

Its impossible how important you are. Your videos make me cry, laugh, smile. You show us so much of your life (good and the bad), and I hope you know how much that affects people for the better, but even if it didn't you would still matter an imdescribable amount. I've lost many people to cancer, and it never feels less numb, it never gets easier to watch someone you love struggle. Losing someone can be the worst you can feel. I know words probably won't help, but I hope that time will. Rest in peace and walk freely, Luke.

I just wanted to say that you’ve kinda been my comfort creator for the last month, recently I’ve figured out that I was trans and my life started falling about, I felt hopeless most days and with winter vacation I just sleep or watch you videos because I see all the pain you go through and you still make time to smile and make everyone else smile. I don’t know how to thank you for pretty much saving my life with your resilient attitude towards everything. I lost my best friend to cancer when he was 7 and I’m very sorry to hear that your best friend had also been killed because of cancer. I don’t have any money so the only thing I can really give you is a subscriber and the BIGGEST thank you in the world. Please never give up, because you’ve helped me never give up ❤

This is the first video of you that i've watched. And let me tell you man, it was an awesome and immersive experience that you care enough to share for us to consume. I watched the whole thing and me sitting behind the screen can also feel the poignant emotion within you which words are not suffice to convey but all i can say is that every experience passes by be it happiness or sorrow, it will fade away into oblivion, ik its hard but im sure you will cherish luke's existence and luke cherishes yours aswell. Whatever you are doing is amazing and brave. Keep going forward because the only from the rock bottom is up. Sending love and wishes from India your content is miraculous and you are the being who is making it so yeah, keep that tattoo of yours as a symbol to achieve greatness because im sure thats what luke wants for ya.

It’s awful experiencing this but a lot of us have gone through it and it tears you apart. But you have to put yourself back together piece by piece and it’s exhausting because you think what’s the point of life without that one person or that one animal or anything. And what helped me get over a death was thinking what would he want me to do. Would he want me to sulk around forever? Maybe for a week but forever is too long. What I’m saying is, Luke will always be with you in your heart and you know that at least he isn’t in pain anymore and is at peace. And to anyone else experiencing this, you aren’t alone. Don’t make yourself believe you have nobody, there is always someone. Even if you slightly know them, that’s a person to talk to and who knows they might become like family to you. Rest in peace Luke. Also sorry for the paragraph I just felt like I needed to say this.

Oh my god. I’m so sorry for your loss, I know that comfort from strangers on the internet isn’t comfort at all and the last thing you need right now is pitty but the moment you got the phone call I understood what happened and I wanted to give you a hug because I understand how rough it can be finding out that someone you care so much about has passed away and you didn’t get to say good bye. That shit stings a lot. And I’m not saying I know exactly what your going through right now but I can understand how devastating it can be to feel so alone and numb; because around two years ago I lost my biological father. I was 14 when he passed and that grief blocked out so much hope I had for the world. I send my condolences❤❤❤❤❤❤

you know, throughout all of your big journey, you’ve earned a skill to explain things by emotions and deeds nor words. for a hella long time i consumed a lot of “short” content and after that watching this kinda reminded me of how i seen LoTR saga for the first time. the emotions, energy, ups and downs, don’t know if i can say that i’ve felt it all, but your film took his place in my heart, and thank you for this. it reminded me that our brains are way beyond memes and one minute videos. big love and respect from Russia! keep on moving, dear, keep on moving❤

I did not even realised it’s over one hour video because I got hooked on so many adventures you guys did and it’s so organically down to earth approached in your journey to the Philippines, you showed us every angle of the travel experience that we should experience, from the challenges, the laughter, the food, the rides, the accident, losing money and getting it back which is amazing (I never thought you will get it back, kudos to those people who returned it), the night life, the party, meeting new friends, the high and lows of your journey and the last one is the vulnerable side of you of losing your best friend. I’m so sorry for your loss and not telling or showing him your tattoo but I’m sure his up there looking after you and smiling that you did the tattoo for him. You have angel now who will be guiding you from above. I love your videos and will follow your journey. Good luck and all the best for you. I wish you all the best and I wish you will find the best life that you always want to experience. Buddha bless you always. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

It’s been a journey for you. I relate the feeling of losing someone and never able to speak to them. I lost someone really important in my life and I took it for granted. Wasn’t able to say goodbye. Feeling the guilts of not being there. I wish I would have talked more. I was depressed, lost, and could not think clearly. But over the years, I began to accept. Accept the fact they are gone and they are not suffering anymore. I have to overcome and I know the person who I have lost wouldn’t want me suffering. Life is full of rollercoasters and watching your videos of adventures you have, I really admire. Keep your head up brother, we are all here for you.

Rip to Luke and pray he’s in a better place.

First of all, I was really excited to see that you had finally posted a video, which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Secondly, I am very sorry for your loss. Your right that short form content doesn’t really show the whole picture. What people don't realize is that we only get to see snippets of a content creator's life because they show only what they want us to see. But you keep it real by being transparent about how much you really make from your social media acocunts, to being vulnerable when you revealed that your best friend passed away after his battle with cancer I do hope that you're able to find purpose and happiness in life again soon. Take care of yourself, Phil

Wow I can’t believe thoses comments, not one watched to the end I guess, honestly I don’t know what to say, I’ve discovered you 6 months ago with your video about Luke, your stories really touched me, I understand what’s it’s like being sick, and your bound really touched me, I think you know better than anyone that there nothing really to say, but I hope you take time for yourself, time to scream, to cry, and remember the good times, there’s nothing else that would make sense right now, you can’t make sense of that. I hope you’ve been able to stay sober, it’s clear everythime you mention it that you take pride in that, but if you haven’t been that’s understandable, it will take time but it’s not too late to grab that back, I hope you will find the place and the time to do so, that’s something you could hold on to for now 🖤. Luke was a beautiful soul I think that’s something everyone could see, that make this even more unfair, the only positive thing I can see in all this is he isn’t suffering anymore. Life is so unfair but that’s why you owe it to yourself to find your little piece of peace, whatever that may be I hope you find it.

Stay strong man. Try to make it through the rest of the year and take some time to greive. It will be a long and painful procces but it will start to feel better in the end. It wont ever be the same when you lose a best friend like that. I know from experience. Just make sure you stop blaming yourself for what happened, dont think about what you could have done with him before he passed, instead think about what you did with him and all the happy memories. Above all you have to STAY STRONG.
