I know right!
Mhm
They are so brave
@@megadoodoo6511 you clearly didn’t even watch the video. They were literally talking about how it doesn’t make them special or inspirational
Ruthie is my other half and I do not know a more courageous or a stronger person she refuses to let her illness define her instead she lives her life how she wants and she is not hung up on all of the bullshit she is not able to control and I could not ask for a better partner or mother for our kids thank you babe you are the best
Come on Internet this needs more likes and attention!
I can tell that Ruthie carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. She seems like such a loving, wonderful person who lives her life to the fullest while still acknowledging her physical and emotional pain. Her honesty resonated with me a lot and I hope she realizes that her vulnerability in this video has touched a lot of people. I wish I could give you a HUGE hug, Ruthie. Everyone always says, "you're so strong!" and it never feels like that descriptor actually ascribes to us; watching you in this video opened my eyes to what it means to be strong. Strong doesn't mean you push aside and refuse to let your pain/conditions hold you back. That is damaging because it makes us feel like we should never talk about our conditions or struggles. What strong means is acknowledging that life gave us the shit end of the stick and STILL, despite all of the hurdles, forging ahead, living life, and cherishing the world for the time we have left in it. Thank you for sharing your story, Ruthie!

I teach homebound students. One of my kids with cancer was entering his senior year, but he knew he wouldn’t make it to graduation. I asked him if he wanted me to arrange for an early diploma. Before he could answer, his mom repeated the question, and he said, “Well, DUH, Mom. 🙄” I don’t know why that cracked me up. I guess I appreciated the fact that he was at the point of just speaking his mind...no filter. He was an awesome kid.
I am sorry for your loss, you were clearly such a great teacher and definitely made a difference in that kids life!
@@evelarsen7236 that is very kind of you to say. Thank you.
@@mistihansen8265 of course!
@@mistihansen8265 thank you for making his last moments nice and impactful for him and his family
I appreciate your work. I'm a cancer survivor and I had to do homebound for several months. Teachers don't get enough appreciation.
I watched this the day it came out, at the time my dad had stage 4 cancer. This helped me not be so scared for him. He died 4 days later. Thank you for bringing us some peace.
❤️❤️
Im so sorry, last april i lost my best pony friend, but loosing somebody you've bonded with and known all your life is terrible, I had known the pony for 2 years. Everyone told told me to think about happy times, what they cant tell is when you think about happy times, you end up in tears.
I’m so sorry to hear that, I know that God is looking after him up there :))
I know this comment is a year old but sending you tons of love and support
Hope youre doing well!❤
Anthony thank you again for the opportunity to share my story. I’m sorry about the video quality I cleaned the camera beforehand but the computer I had to use is 10* yrs old so maybe it had to do with that. You are such an awesome amazing human being and I can’t even find the words to explain how uplifting, freeing, weight removing etc it was to be able to share my life and part of my story! Please keep this series going until the day you leave youtube( which I hope u never do)
Sincerely grateful always,
Ruthie aka Princessbeautymua
thank you so much for being a part of this and sharing your story with us in such a vulnerable way. your story was immensely inspiring for me and i’m so happy to hear a weight was lifted off your shoulders as well! keep being amazing.
Oh wow it’s really you. Hey there Ruthie 👋
Would be great if we could ve hear more about u ❤️
Thank YOU Ruthie. We're all super thankful to you for being willing to share such a personal part of your life with Anthony and all of us viewers. You help make the world a better, more empathetic and understanding place. Wishing you and your family all the best.

As a person with a terminal illness/life-limiting illness, I can confidently say that everyone’s experiences with terminal illnesses are different and people’s feelings and choices should be respected. An off day for one person with a TI may be completely different from another’s so be patient and be kind because EVERYONE deserves a happy life and shouldn’t feel guilty or like a burden for something they have no control over. ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! The one thing my dad hated was the "you can fight this" "you're so strong" stuff that people thing is really helpful. He would get annoyed, because with some diagnoses it doesn't matter how hard you fight or how strong you are. It made him feel like he was not trying hard enough and made him feel guilty when he got sicker, even though there was literally nothing he could have done. People just don't think before they say things sometimes.
your last name kind of looks like my first name
@@vaudevilleandvariety Yeah and that really sucks because people will say stuff like that out of kindness but it always hurts the most. 💔
I’m sorry to hear about that but if you don’t mind me asking, what terminal illness do you have..?
This makes me appreciate life so much
My mom has CF. She was told she would die at 18. She's 40 now. I love her so much.
Wow, your mom’s strong! Glad she’s holding on🎉
dwafaw102.
If she expected to die at 18... why are you alife?! Why did she chose a kid, despite death around the corner?
@@Verhoeven1980 she had me at 26.
@@Verhoeven1980 you are not smart are you
when jeremie did the part about setting a timer for your death, I immediately started crying. because instead of being afraid or panicking and saying goodbye, what immediately came to mind was putting on clothes I don't have the confidence to wear, dancing outside, bonding with trees, braiding my partner's hair. i think from now on I'm going to try to stop being scared and just love and live openly, because those really were tears of joy in being able to do what I'm always so afraid of
That exercise and your comment really got me thinking: today i was talking to my therapist about how I was scared I was going to be judged for my tattoos and also my own daily thoughts of looking “good enough” or “fitting in”. If I only had hours left to live, I would spend the day with my best friends and not be afraid of what others think. We will hopscotch and play in rivers and dance/sing in public and laugh unapologetically and I will let them know with my time and actions how much I love them and the world.
cool
you, random stranger, i like you.
p.s.: hope you decided to live in the moment and let yourself love
I had a similar experience, it made what he was saying very real for me
I felt this too, I have so much desires that I really afraid to accomplish, like having kids, starting a family with my partner, and the thing is that I may not have enough time for making these dreams come true,just because I wasted so much lifetime with fear.
Okok but Jeremie is that one guy that's just immediately likeable. His perspective on things are just so *brain explodes*
I very much enjoyed watching his interview
@@Princessbeautymua thanks for sharing your story 💜
I love Jeremie Saunders and his podcast with his friends called sick boy :)
Mind blowing? 🙂 i agree!
If he wrote a book about anything, I'd RUN lol.
Anthony here giving a voice to people who usually dont get one.
Respect man
I agree FN2187
Agreed! And I’m honoured to be your comment’s 1,000th like. 🙂
@@MSorge13 holy shit. Went to sleep and then bam. Thanks man
I absolutely love his videos because he touches on topics that tend to be Taboo in our society or misunderstood. Like this video resonated with me so deeply because I'm terminally ill and it drives me nuts how I have to tiptoe around the topic of death and dying because other people get so uncomfortable with it. It actually prevents me from being able to go through my experience and process it in the way that I need to that's best for myself because I'm so busy consoling others about it. He hits on all the topics that we all should be comfortable with talking about and not shying away from.
@@las5510 Thank you so much for your comment, and I wish you all my best for the rest of your life. ❤️
As soon as I saw Jeremie I was like, “ yep, he definitely has either a RUclips channel or a podcast cause look at that miccccc”
Yess hahaha
what gave it away for me was his efficiency in speaking and how clear and solid his voice sounded. I was like" this man must do something with his voice and ability to make effective speech tectincs or it all is going to waste" and boom! he does PODCASTS!XD
What is the podcast called?
@@WhoamI-su7pg SickBoyPodcast!
It's a Shure SM7B
Some good news for yall. In just the past decade the average life expectancy of CF people has jumped from 38 to 53. It's insane that their life expectancy is increasing faster than time is.
that's really good
you know it's kinda crazy how far medical innovation has gone, literally back in 2018 apparently from what i heard from my optometrist the best solution for correcting shortsightnedness would've been only the lasik eye surgery or contacts, but hey now i'm wearing correctional glasses that literally are stopping further development
ofc i absolutely do not have it as bad as ppl with terminal illnesses, or mental disorders and whatnot, but i'm just entirely grateful for the innovations that keep occuring to improve our lives and everyone elses
@@The_Jazziest_Coffee pretty sure glasses came before contacts
@@ComedyGlor lol i meant like actually curing it
i should've worded that better, glasses are like a very very old innovation in comparison to lasik and whatnot, but it never really cures eye disorders as opposed to lasik or contacts and all
@@The_Jazziest_Coffee ? Contacts don’t cure eye disorders either. They have the same function as glasses
@@ComedyGlor yeah, i mean they are almost stabilise it but yeah i'm kinda wrong on that too
These people are going to be immortalized here forever. That's kinda cool.
Ironic, isn't it😔?
They have our respect in perpetuity.
So will we due to our comments here.
@@melaninandaura9713 that's also true!
I liked that aspect of sharing knowing that my story could continuously help people really made me feel better about life
@@Princessbeautymua rock on Ruthie 🤘🏽 thankyou for sharing your story 🙏🏽❤
Wow. Going through these comments has me tearing up over here. In a good way!! Thanks for all the love and support folks. It really means the world to me that you tuned in and found at least some of what was said here to be useful. Big ups to Anthony and the whole team for pulling this together and continually producing such important and insightful content. xoxo
thank you jeremie! your insight is absolutely incredible and it was an honor to sit down with you. found myself feeling deeply inspired by your perspective of life. you helped bring me out of a deep stress/anxiety loop i’d been in for quite a while. thanks again for being so vulnerable on my show and sharing your wisdom 🖤
You are such an amazing human. God bless you 💓
thank you so much for sharing your perspective and your story.
thank you so much for sharing! I've been the type of person that whenever I want to do something I can't make myself wait to do it and people have always told me I'm wrong and that I shouldn't always be in a rush but as you said our time here is very limited and I just really wanna do whatever I wanna do and when I wanna do it so that when my time comes at least I can say I did as much as I was capable of.
You are an inspirational and overall amazing human. Please know that having watched this made all the difference for me (and I'm sure, many others). Thank you!
My girlfriend has a terminal illness since birth. Im planning to make her limited time the best it can be. She has time until 35 at most. We’re both 17 now.
much love to u both!!! im 20 turning 21 and seeing the younger wave of my generation be so optimistic in a world that is tough is rly inspiring🤍i hope she lives as long as possible and is happy :)
@@michellelam5268 ty a lot :) im planning to propose soon so we can begin our life together as soon as possible
@@whatsupfuckers4078 that’s amazing. i hope to return to this forum in the next 5 years and hear that y’all are married!!🥰
@@michellelam5268 ofc! I promise I’ll remember to do so
and maybe just maybe theyll find a cure in those 18 years
Anthonys face at 6:38 is heartbreaking. that's why I watch these. seeing Anthonys face lets me know he is actually listening and actually care.
All of these wonderful people are so powerful.
Jeremie's school letter made me cry, so glad he felt comfortable sharing with the world
This was honestly touching.. but I'm so sorry for getting the to 666 likes
Lol this is so irrelevant but his letter had so many mistakes and grammatical errors 😭
@@emmanuelsandoval1870 he was 16
This video just hits the feels. I lost a friend in highschool to cystic fibrosis. I never really understood his life as being cut short because he was always so full of life, creative, and one of the best people I ever met. Always challenged me to be a better person. Then, I got that call from his step-brother saying he had 2 days left to live. We all rushed to the hospital and spent what time we could with him, but also giving his family that moment to embrace. He lived for a full week longer than expected. I'll never forget the calmness he had in his final moments, and I carry the memory of our time together forever.
Man this comment made me cry when even the video didn’t. I can’t imagine losing someone so early in your life and still seeing it as you do. I can only hope to think this way if I lose a loved on.
This is so sad . Did he seem scared during those last days ?
I have a friend with cystic fibrosis, it's horrid to suddenly remember sometimes that he won't live that long.
As someone who has cystic fibrosis this hits home, the weird thing is I’ve never been afraid of dying as soon as I had a concept of death I was told that my life will end shorter than most so I’ve always been aware of it. I feel like a lot of CF patients also are aware so that’s likely why he was so calm, that and having you and his family around him. People like you are the ones that make the most impact on our lives. Friends like you make the bad days worth it. I’m so sorry for your loss.
*virtual hug*
if anyone came in search of an update on these lovely people: all three are currently alive and doing good from what i can tell!
-
jeremie is currently on a medication for cf that has the potential to lengthen his lifespan significantly!!
Thank you, I actually was interested!
Thank you!
Wow that’s awesome for jeremie!
Yessss i was looking for updates in the comments lmao
Thank you!
I have Cystic Fibrosis and it means so much to see someone on here who has experienced the same things i have. :’)
I hope you're doing well, you're awesome.❤️❤️❤️❤️
All the best to you 💕💕💕
Hope you are well ❤
I've had a friend with cf and it was in my family before as well
You're absolutely not alone 😊

My wife is thriving since taking trikafta
imagine being his teacher, looking at one of your students, expecting to see something about college goals...
and then seeing one of your students talking about his disease and wondering how he's going to die.
I know right..!! I'm a teacher and there was a student in grade 2 who wasn't very attentive in studies.We knew later he had brain tumors.. only child of his parents..We only knew after he was absent for a month..I enquired,called his mom.. Within a week whole school,teachers,staff members and parents of other students donated for his operation..But I don't know what happened. I don't have any contacts to ask about him.. I still think about it..
@@ankitachandravansi5958 I hope your student is doing well....
@@ami9486 I wish I get to see him someday..doing fine..!!
I would honestly cry
lmao you guys wouldn't like me then, that's how i was during school/college, the whole time not caring about learning because i know i'm going to die young so there's no point, when i got asked about my future i always just laughed 'what future?' but hey, i'm 25 and still alive somehow lol
Jeremie’s view on death is really fascinating to hear. I’ve never thought about it that way.
Yes its very eye opening
check out death-positivity and also caitlyn daughty's channel (ask a mortician) on youtube! its super cool and gives a really good view of death
@@Asbestoslover666 I was about to comment that! She has changed my view on life and death
If you enjoyed this i highly suggest reading the last chapter of the book 50th law by robert greene and 50 cent
@@haleylikescheese she's great eh! honestly death is so.. full of life in a way? like its the summation of life, the series finale, with strong emotion and the potential to reflect, be at peace, and close the chapter. and the same for your family and friends who are still living and have to process the loss. And the likelyhood of that 'good-death' is higher is you arent so terrified of it and embrace it as one of life's big milestones. and i feel like people assume 'death positivity' means wanting to die, but if anything its made me less suic*dal, because taking my own life wouldn't be a 'good death'. And i'm not happy when loved one's die, but there is beauty in honouring their life and memory, and it makes you think about life as a bigger picture. Sorry, i rambled. but like Jeremie, i love to geek out about death lol
I love how excited Jeremie was when he said “death is my favorite thing to talk about!” It made my heart warm. How he is embracing the ultimate end vs avoiding and denying it, as most of us do on a daily basis.
So my name is Scythe and i have had heart transplant.
My condition meant that I only had 5 years left to live. I found this out at 12, I’m 15 now. I know now I’m going to be okay but It felt so surreal and I had to find this out on my own which sucked. I think people with these conditions, where you don’t have long to live, need to be talked about and parents of children like me need to have this talk. X
Pre rip
I know this is random, and I guess you've heard this a lot and it sounds like quite a cliche thing. But I want you to know that you are a beautiful person. I hope you know that. You deserve all that you can get it this world, I hope you make the most of this life. Any of us could die, any day all of us whether we know it or not should live life to the fullest. I hope and wish that you have a lovely life, and that you just be you. For that is all anyone in this world could ask for. 💜 xx
did any of these people read that they got a new heart
@@tysonwastakenheart transplants can still unfortunately shorten your life though
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jeremy is such a good fucking storyteller. man, if my life somehow gets a movie or show, I want Jeremy to tell it if he's alive or if we have reincarnation technology.
And he is so death postive. I'm sure Caitlin doutghty would love this man's message with every fiber of her being. I hope to be that at peace some day
@@sparky082 Agree.
You all NEED to start listening to Sick Boy Podcast!!! It’s INCREDIBLE, I can listen to Jeremie Brian and Taylor all day
@@janecooze1767 I was LITERALLY gonna comment “he should have a podcast”
I Stan with Jeremy, real talk.
Can you do “I spent a day with suicide survivors”? I want to hear their perception on the world. I also want to know what they were thinking because my brother committed suicide 6 months ago and it really sucks.
Edit: I would like to say that it's been almost two years since he died and I really am ok now. I'm sorry if this question made you feel like and outsider and something to be fixed. At the time I was just sad and wanted to understand my brothers actions. I don't need people to reply anymore with how it feels but do it if you want to and I will try to reply. Feel free to reply with your experience and reach out for help. I will talk to you and give you my snap chat if you ask. Oh and I was super depressed and passively suicidal so that's why I know how it feels lol. Also the replies helped so thank you.
The Australian Broadcasting Company hosts a series called 'You can't ask that' that features an episode interviewing suicide survivours in case that would be helpful to you. Wishing you the best with healing.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I would also really be interested to watch an episode on this. A close friend of mine took his life a couple of years ago and I still get little bursts of denial/anger here and there. I just wish he had held on a little longer. It is getting a little easier with time and speaking to our mutual friends and his family and keeping in touch has really helped. I also spoke to a friend that is a suicide survivor and that really helped as she told me how peaceful she felt before the attempt. I hope he also felt that peace. Wishing you all my love and healing. X
As a suicide survivor myself, that would be an amazing topic to cover
I think this is a really good idea, however I doubt it will happen because RUclips is very strict when it comes to speaking about suicide unfortunately. They're constantly demonetizing videos, or making people bleep the word out. I think it's ridiculous because it's just encouraging people not to talk about it.. when it should be the opposite. There should be an open dialogue when it comes to suicide to make the topic less taboo.
I am so sorry for your lost. I used to debate suicide 24/7 and it can really change how you interact with others and your view on life. I have never had a "life plan" because I didn't think I would live past high school, but here I am almost 7 years out of high school. I still feel like I don't have a plan but don't want to die now.
Thank you for this video. I too have a terminal illness known as Huntington's Disease. It's a hereditary genetic disorder that causes neurodegeneration, the death of neurons and their pathways, and it also messes with the basal ganglia pathway (what controls motor functions). My father passed away when I was only 12 from Huntington's, and I got genetic testing to test if I also have Huntington's, and I do. Definitely up there in the top ten worst birthday presents from my dad. There is no cure, but there are medicines that can help you manage.
I don't really talk about it, unless people ask me directly about why I have jerky movements (the Medical term is chorea). I've only ever told my best friend about it unprovoked. I don't want people to treat me differently because it, so I don't really talk about it. But listening to these interviews has pushed me to consider letting more people around me know about what I'm going through. So, again, thank you Anthony.
That thing about “worst birthday present from dad” was hilarious. Hope you’re doing well, you sound rad.
Hope you're doing well ! ❤
I’ve studied about Huntington’s chorea in med school. Hope you’re doing well, I’m sure that the field of medicine will find a solution some day!
only in the top 10 worst birthday presents? not #1? 😭😭 so funny. anyways, i wish the very very best for you, beautiful human.
the “top 10 worst birthday presents from my dad” made me laugh, i hope you’re doing good with the time you have left on this earth, you sound like a rad person
I’m terrified of showing signs of dementia when I’m older. My great grandmother past away last year in May from the disease. I saw how hard it was on her and the rest of my family. It’s terrifying to know that I might, one day, slowly forget everything I’ve built around me, my family, friends, and eventually my basic motor skills. This video was reassuring in the sense, if I do end up like my great grandmother, that death is not something to be so afraid of. Thank you.
I'm terrified of dementia too, because it seems like youre losing control of your mind, wich I'm absolutely not in for, so I refuse to live past the age of 50. Lol
Rest In Peace.
If it helps, euthanasia for terminally ill people has been legalised in a few countries already like Belgium
Before my grandpa died of dementia, he lost his vision, but said that he could see so many new swirling colors that he’d never seen before.
As someone living with panic and anxiety attacks triggered mostly by inevitability of death I must admit Jeremie's way of look was really refreshing.
You might like listening to Ram Dass :)
Death plan! Also if u can, u might wanna have a look at Ask the mortician... it’s an amazing channel run by a lady who works with the dead and is trying to spread more death positivity...
@@queenselene1834 Thanks for suggestion, I will look it up.
@@pumpkinprincess3786 I know her! Well, her channel. My friend recommended her to me while ago and I've already seen a few vids. I will continue watching her, but it's still a little bit of a challenge for me so I'm taking them slowly.
Hello, hope you having a great time buddy I highly recommend stoicism after practicing it and studying it I really don't give a shit about death and I truly embrace it If you have any social media I can send you my sources and the way I examined them.
ps English is my third language If i had any mistakes or typos I apologize in regards.
I have Cystic Fibrosis and I was stunned when I heard Jeremie say he had 50% the lung capacity of an average human being. I am a very healthy CF patient. For reference, while Jeremie is always living with half of his lung capacity, my mom put me in the ICU for having 90% of my lung capacity. Even though I’m a healthy CF patient, I still live a life that’s far from normal. I spend at least 2 hours a day undergoing treatments to keep myself healthy and I’ve had nearly 30 surgeries in my lifetime. Knowing that Jeremie’s condition is far worse than mine fuels my admiration for him. Think of all of the stuff I said I went through, and amplify that by a ton. That’s what I assume Jeremie has been through. It humbles me seeing him express such a positive outlook on life and it hammers the lesson in my head where, like Jeremie, CF gave me the ability face the worst moments in life and see the bright side no matter what. I’m grateful to have seen another of my kind on the show. Thanks a ton, Anthony.
I hope your okay , stay safe and I’m sending prayers ❤️
Fellow Cfer here, stay strong we’re in this together! 🤝
Stay strong
same here i have cystic fibrosis and im very healthy i recently blew a 95 which means i have 95% of my lung funtion but i still undergo an hour a day doing 2 treatments and i also take a variety of medications in the morning and the night. I probably been hospitalized abt 6 or 7 times for a two week period getting what is known as a "tune up." I've had it pretty easy and im very thankful for that. I hope you stay healthy and live a long healthy life.
Yeah it varies quite a bit from person to person. My brother is doing very well with a new medication
My grandpa has cystic fibrosis and they thought he would die in his 30’s and he’s in his 70’s now. It’s a miracle he’s alive and hes one of the oldest people in Canada with CF. He just recently got experimental medication that brought his lungs from functioning at 50% to 60%. He got married, adopted two kids, he now has 3 grandkids and 1 great grandkid, he’s travelled outside of Canada multiple times, he became the director of education at two school districts in his life. The life expectancy for someone with cystic fibrosis has changed to 50 in Canada and I hope that this man is able to live a full happy life like my grandpa was able to ❤
Very responsible of him to choose to adopt…
When Jeremie said he has cystic fibrosis I started bawling my eyes out. My sister passed at 19 from cystic fibrosis so this hits really close to home.
My aunt recently lost her battle to cancer. This is going to be a difficult episode to watch.
Goddamn your yt og your chanel is 11 years old

@@ankur2766 I’m not understanding what there is to laugh about here...
@@ankur2766 you’re sick
I am 14. My dad died almost a 2 years ago (as of feb 2022), he had cancer. We learned it was terminal on my 12th birthday. This video will help so many people
I’m so sorry this happened. I hope you the best with your life
Sending thoughts that you heal. Take your time. It isn't a race. Be safe. Try to be happy.
I’m sorry for your loss
You are so strong, I'm sure he is proud of you 🤍
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending good vibes your way, you're a tough kid ❤️
As somebody with cancer I find this video hella comforting. Thank you Anthony. 💖🥰
I hope you know how to find peace in your life 💖
please do get well soon
Rife Technology, go search it. They have been shattering cancer since 1926
It's beautiful to hear. I wish you all the absolute best.
You’ve got this ❤️all support from us. Get well soon!
Jeremie completely calmed me down about the thought of death. I’ve been struggling with just imagining it lately but this video completely reversed that. Thank you. These people are all so individually amazing and hold so much wisdom.
I’ve flatlined at 23 6 months ago and had the most beautiful after life experience 😄 I used to be afraid of death also, not anymore
Jeremie reading his school letter where he talked about there be no point in having a wife broke my heart, and then later in the video when he mentioned he had a wife I felt so damn happy I'm so glad he was able to fight against that sadness he was feeling when he wrote the letter. I appreciated all 3 of these perspectives so much
As soon as Jeremie said he was a “person who didn’t have to worry about a retirement fund”, I knew he was a fellow CFer. I have never met anyone with another terminal illness who has our sense of humor lmaooo
Legit, I feel like that kind of humour is some how written into our genes XD
I watch Stephi Lee (yt channel) & she’s taking a new medication for cf. Have you checked it out yet?
@@thatgirlwhousedtohavereall5549 Trikafta ? I started taking that like a month ago.
CF more like Crazy Funny. Wishing you all the best!
So funny ! I could literally tell my his personality. I was like one of us. One of us !
As someone who is living with a terminal illness myself, I’ve passed my life expectancy and I am living life each day as much as I can. I may have tubes and wires and a shit tone of medication to keep me alive, but I’m alive and I’m going to keep raising awareness on my platforms to remind people that you get this life ONCE, live it!!!
Hey how are you doing now, hope you're doing ok
@@John-ls4xh thank you for asking. I'm doing ok. Things are still hard but I'm pushing through and I'm loving life!
@@WalkingOnRainbows12 I'm glad you're doing well, thank you for sharing your story and keep pushing forward. God bless
Hey, how are you?
@@John-ls4xh thank you for taking the time to read my comment and for asking 💛
Jeremie’s project at the age of 16 is absolutely crushing, it made me burst out in tears
Great job with this video on telling their story and give a voice that their deserve to tell the story to the world. Such an amazing video! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad to see you guys here too ^^
Hi psych2go nice to see you here I am a big fan :)
I lubbbb ur videosss
I love you guys. Your videos are so informative
i love you guys ❤️
"i spent a day with people with depersonalization/derealization disorder"
this march will be my 2 years of living with this since getting it from weed, i feel like not a lot of ppl know abt it
i actually experienced this feeling for about two years at the height of my panic attacks. could definitely be interesting to explore.
I recently discovered I've lived most of my life with DP/DR and actually really don't know what to do with this information (and I'm a psychologst) 😂 (I'm so thankful I have a great therapist, but I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck?) it would be really interesting as it's not a so spoken topic
@AnthonyPadilla I live with dpdr and I've experienced so many weird and terrifying feelings and hallucinations that are so hard to recognise from an outsider's perspective. I think it's very important to raise awareness of this illness, especially since it's so common yet so unnoticed.
i have really bad dissociation and it’s so hard to get over. people keep romanticising it and it makes me so pissed off, living with severe anxiety and depersonalisation literally affects every second of your life. when you can’t fathom interactions and the real world around you it’s so hard to learn and grow , and when you feel serparated from your body you just can’t connect with yourself
I have this as well severely where I am in a constant state of disassociation. I would love to see an episode on this to see other people that perceive the world the way that I do
Bro jeremie changed my entire perspective on life. He doesn’t realize what he’s doing. He’s actually saving lives goddd
There is now a cure for cystic fibrosis :) my friend has it and I’m SO thankful as she’s 26 so time was running out 🥺
@@user-mr4pm7jv5e There isn't...
@@user-mr4pm7jv5e There isn't a cure for that illness
This was very therapeutic for me to listen to. I frequently overthink at night about the death of my loved ones and myself, to the point of panic. Last night I was balling while clutching my dog because I don’t want to say goodbye to her. So hearing people talking about death, especially what Jeremy was saying, just made me feel a bit of calm and acceptance.
Don't knoe why, but I also hadi this type of thoughts
holy fuck, where does anthony find all these interesting people? like everyone he's interviewed has so much wisdom to say
He posts on the community tab of his yt account and asks for people that have or are affected by whatever the upcoming topic is. U send an email with a short video clip of you answering his questions to his team and then they go thru all the submissions and select the ones they interview. I turned in my submission knowing it was a for sure long shot so I was totally surprised and of course over the moon with excitement and gratitude.
Wow how did you find the word intreasting.... I would have accidentally said ill.
@@soundu96 is this supposed to be a joke? Anyways.. the commenter is probably talking about the people Anthony has had on this series in general.
Interesting people are all around us... we just dont talk to each other in this way to find these things out :)
@@soundu96 you’re seriously not funny at all. you’re a disappointment.
Idea: “I Spent A Day With People with/HIV”.
We need to be reminded that this is still a reality, and it’s not a joke. Also, there are parallels between the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s and the pandemic today.
This is a good idea
This is so important, especially with the advancements have been made with treatments. They are making strides, but not fast enough.
Yes. I have personally lost ppl I loved to HIV in the 90s. And one of my dearest friends has lived with HIV since the 90s he is not undetectable due to amazing medicine
That would be an amazing video.
so true!!!!!! i hope anthony sees this!
I started to cry when Jeremie started to talk about the beauty of death. He has so much wisdom in him and even tho I don't know him, knowing he won't be able to tell this wisdom and knowledge to his grandkids breaks my heart. I know he does not fear death, but sometimes there are people like him who you listen to talk for 5 minutes and feels like they taught you everything about life. I wish for him to visit a beautiful place when he's dead.
My father was diagnosed with cancer a couple days ago, seeing this in my recommended made me flinch a little but its refreshing seeing other people like my dad thrive
Aw man I’m so sorry for you and your family ❤️
@@rhydianruns thanks man :) hes doing better now
@@lovendor I’m so glad to hear that 😁
Let's just appreciate that he never clickbaits
That would sorta defeat the purpose of the series if he claimed he was talking to someone with a terminal illness and then didn’t. That wouldn’t make sense . You don’t need to clickbait this content, it would literally defeat the purpose of it. Not really that cool.
Don’t give em ideas >~
He doesn't need to
@@BaronVonBielski think he means ab the 24 hours to live part
He sometimes makes clickbait-y thumbnails though...
I was watching this video 5 minutes before my aunt died unexpectedly for suspected colon cancer, their perspective helped me cope with her death differently. I’m so grateful you talk about topics people are afraid of.
My condolences
I'm so sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for you loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss. Don’t let anyone tell you how to grieve or how long it should last take it day by day and do what you need to do to process
I heard cystic fibrosis, and my heart sank. I lost my mom who had it, she got her double lung transplant, but after those 10 years the after affects that come with cf got to her. He’s so strong.
15 years and 2 lung transplants later I now have kidney failure and am on dialysis from all those years of the immunosuppressant meds. I'm in rejection with my 2nd pair of lungs, so this is it for me. It's just a matter of time now before I'm gone and I'm only 33. God bless your mom who was brave enough to have you. I was never healthy enough to have kids.
I don't mean to be immature or morbid but when Jeremie said, "Tibetan sky burial," I imagined my lifeless body being loaded into a cannon and being launched into the clear blue sky lol
So much more badass 😭
You can actually have your ashes placed in a firework and launched. That would be awesome lmao
"I spent a day with suicide survivors"
I think it would be a good topic to lay on because hearing what people's mental health has done to them could help motivate people to seek help. Your interviews bring light and recognition to hard topics and I would love it if you would do one about this.
++++++++++++++++++ this
Definitely agree on that!!! 🙌🙌
I totally agree. This stuff should never be taboo. It's about life and death. There is nothing more simple and profound and natural and human. If we can all just talk about it, maybe we can be less afraid to talk about all the other nuances involved with it.
I've survived a suicide attempt, I'd be willing to talk about it.
And it can happen to anyone and due to any circumstance because it's about how differently an issue affects a person, depending on what it is. What may not seem like a big deal to you may be to someone else.
I've watched this two hours ago. I have contacted relatives that I haven't talked to due to "I'll text later", talked to my mother, boyfriend. And I've done the scariest thing of all. Talk to my step-father. I feel tired, wounded and vulnerable, but complete. Like I did what had to be done.
So, thank you. I thank all of the interviewees. I thank the camera crew and the backstage staff. And I thank Anthony. For starting the conversation. And providing me with the closure I needed.
Thank you
that’s incredible! i’m so happy this video and the guests had a positive impact on you 🖤
@@AnthonyPadilla Thank you so much for the work you do. Your channel is a gift
I’m so proud of you for taking care of unfinished business sometimes that’s the hardest thing to do
@@northynorth I’m so happy for you and proud of you. Sometimes unfinished business is the hardest
I'm so happy you did this. We love you!
Jeremie literally just helped me accept that a loved one of mine passed away from a stage 4 brain tumour, I was struggling to accept that they had gone, then Jeremie spoke about death, and how it’s natural and happens to everyone and now I feel a lot better about it.
Thanks Jeremie, I owe you one ❤️
i had a stroke in march and i've never been this scared of death. i've just felt so vulnerable and unsure of everything in my life. thank you for always making such amazing videos. these help so many people and this definitely helped me cope with some things.
Thanks for sharing
This may not be worth commenting, but thank you for donating to Cancer Research. I lost my mother in March of 2020 to Lung Cancer, and the hospital caught it five days before she passed, so I guess it means a lot to me that you're donating to this fund.
Thank you again.
Rip dude :(
i also lost my dad to lung cancer in 2008 so it also means so much to me too, much love ❤️
@@olliehull6798 Sorry about that, he is in a better place now.
@@schemesgoboom994 Max lost his mom not his dad and please be careful how you give condolences I know from experience hearing they’re in a better place or they’re not in pain anymore is not helpful it doesn’t make it better or ease the pain and in some cases even feels condescending
I’m sorry max
I don’t watch Anthony too much, but I always have notifications on because he goes really deep with people and understands them. When I saw this title I just thought like, wow, okay sure. I noticed this is a longer than most of the videos I’ve watched. I don’t want to make a whole essay about this but I personally have had a few life threatening illnesses that have happened to me I personally don’t want to say because it makes me get real, I’ve also had many family members have these. I just love how he’s still making jokes with them, but still get so deep and real with them. I really respect him here for that. This really just made me take a long deep breath and be thankful, I think that some people don’t understand how lucky they are, I’m noticing how long this is and how I said I didn’t want to make a essay, but this is really a sensitive topic, and I really just wanna thank Anthony for taking these so deep and real, making them feel good about it, and not feel depressed, and just make them smile and laugh.
If it makes you feel any better, my comment is way longer than yours. Lol!
@@SouthernSera haha, ok. Sometimes I get criticized for making long comments so I try to die down on the length of it.
Lol! I do the same thing and mine still end up being a book. Lol! Keep writing long comments. They're interesting to read. I hope you're doing well with your illnesses!
He was definitely an amazing interviewer
@@nightlyzz don’t listen to the criticizers they’re just lazy, I love listening to the way other people think :)
I went to my 30-year-old coworker's/friend's funeral when I was 21 back in 2019. It turns out, he had a massive heart attack and he died in his sleep. The funeral was surreal. The open casket felt like he was just sleeping, and I felt like he would wake up at any moment when I approached him.
I kust wanted to say thank you Anthony. My mother was diagnosed with endometriosis went the was about 24 and despite the odds she had my other sister and I. Along with endometriosis, she had Fibromyalgia and arthritis. She is still alive and in her 50s. Thabkbyou for bringing me a new view on illnesses.
This video made me think a little. Living a dull life that you constantly want to end is so redundant. Death really isn’t scary, it’s not death that is scary at least. I want to paint or take photos and have friends and family in this life before it’s over. I wanna listen to classical music, I wanna do so many things that I haven’t even thought of because of sadness brought on by other people. I think I’m gonna do what I want from now on.
Please live life to the fullest do what makes your heart full. Start thinking if I didn’t wake up tomorrow would i be satisfied with my life?
Same here. I'm wearing pink hair. I'm gonna get a gecko. I'm learning new skills because my old life didn't make me happy. Cheers to doing what makes us happy. Small things or big ones alike.
Stuff like this always makes me feel guilty for being suicidal. Which, of course, is an issue on its own, but I wish I could give my life to one of these wonderful people so they are able to live without pain.
My mother commit suicide, sometimes I feel ashamed to tell people because one of their parents suffered a terminal illness, or they don't get to see one of their parents, and it makes me feel bad that my mum ended her life when other peoples parents are fighting everyday to stay alive with their children.
You can give ur life to others. If u don't feel like you have anything to live for, you can use your time and resources to contribute to the well-being of others. Also, I hope you see that your life has as much value as those you feel inspired by.
@@emmaskye4681 mental illness is an illness too. It doesn't mean she didn't struggle to stay alive herself. An illness of the mind or an illness of the body can have the same outlook. You don't need to feel ashamed that your mother passed away from a different kind of illness.
If you feel guilty, then maybe helping others with these kinds of things is a reason to keep going.
I’m sorry for everything you’re going thru. Don’t feel guilty for struggling with mental health. I hope one day your truly happy. It’s nice that you wish that but as one of the people in the interview rather than have your life I would happier if you found peace and happiness with your life. I’m going to pray for you
The 9 hour timer thing blew my mind! I am surprised by how I felt when the time was ticking down though. I always thought it would create stress knowing exactly how much time I have left and seeing it decrease like that but it actually brought comfort to me. It also made the world look a lot more beautiful. The sky looks bluer, the birds sound prettier, ect... It makes me just want to go outside. It's so strange. But there is something about it I just can't pinpoint.
I have recently been diagnosed with cancer(leukaemia) and am figuring out my perspective on life because of all the plans I had
I'm hoping I can still do my dreams in the some day
Sending you my prayers and love ❤️❤️❤️you’ll surely win
It's very humanizing, the way he speaks to everyone he interviews. It never sounds like he is babying them or trying to keep the tone 100% depressing and negative. The interviews are always handled so well, tysm for covering these topics!!
I agree he’s very professional.
Please do I spent a day with holocaust survivors. It’s super important.
Yes, please... And we don't have much time left, most survivors still alive are getting too old
@@palomathereptilian Exactly
@@palomathereptilian that's the thing though, most of the survivors don't have living family, an understanding of technology or the want to talk about it anymore
Yes yes yes yesss plz let The l I Anthony Padilla in his team read ur comment!
Yess this is so important.!!!
This month I had to have a large tumor removed from my stomach. Thankfully my tumor came back as an extremely rare, yet benign tumor. But the whole experience definitely put life into perspective. It was a few weeks of the unknown. The possibility of having the same cancer that took my Grandmother who raised me... that was hard. I wasn't scared to die but I was scared of everything I might miss out on, especially being a mom of 3 young children... The youngest being just 1 year. The idea she would never know who I was... I really appreciate this episode and everyone involved. Live each day with a grateful heart. Don't waste time living for others and really embrace yourself, your place in this strange yet beautiful world.
Thank you for sharing, god bless you 🙏
@@sambones1092 Thank you Sam. Just had a clear repeat scan 💪 Appreciating every day.
My grandma had a extremely rare kind of cancer Called a Rambosarcoma most common in children she was 38 and she is still alive but to this day she still can’t walk properly
@@sakurakogacha407 I'm glad to hear she was able to recover 💕
@@wildcosmiacollective thanks!
I love how every time Anthony interviews a group of people or a person, he truly deeply understands what they are experiencing in their lives. On top of all of that, he makes donations to charities or organizations that are contributing to the greater good. Thank you so much for doing all of this! :)
I lost my mom last January to cancer. She never told anyone about it. As angry as I am with her for it, I have to remind myself that that's how she wanted it to be, and she lived the rest of her life her way.
I think I'd make the same decision. The way the people in my life would suddenly want to be extremely close and bonded with me, and do (from my perspective) the most exaggerated things to show they care about me would be
Well. Extremely weird and maybe even a little cringe because there's always people who will invite themselves over for a week while you're like "but I want to take a dump in peace without you wanting to reminisce from the other side of the door?"
Niki, my mother was the same. I still don't get it 8 years later and still have angry dreams about her not caring. I'll try to tell myself what you wrote.
Thanks for sharing, may your mom rest in peace, may you have a wondeful life 🙏
She wanted you to remember her not what happened to her. My mom is the same way.
I think it's really interesting how immediately, the first thing we all think of when we're asked what we'd want to do if we have a day left to live is always about other people. It really goes to show that life really is nothing without other people there to share it with you, you know?
My best friend passed away at 17 from cf and listening to Jeremie made me miss her so much. Holy hell. I hope they’re all doing well.
I just instantly liked Jeremie. He seems like a great, caring person to be around. Also, he reminds me so much of Jake Johnson from his voice to his hair.
Oh my god I'm so glad I found your comment, I thought that was a familiar looking guy, thanks for the correlation lol!
Automatically thought of Claire Wineland 🥺💔 RIP - if anyone is interested in this topic I highly recommend looking up her videos she openly spoke about this all the time on her youtube channel
I thought of her as well when I watched this, it's good to see she made an impact on people.
I miss her :(
Same. 😭
Thank you for mentioning her. Her death was and still is so heavy. I spent a summer reading one of her books and watching all of her videos/speeches and I don’t regret a second dedicated to it. I learned so much about life through her. What an incredible and inspiring human being she was.
Yes exactly, I really wish Claire was still around to take part in this. She was such an incredible person.
Please do I spent a day with holocaust survivors. It’s super important.

Thanks for spreading this. It’s very important. I saw the idea on another one of his videos, so not the original
@@littlesimsfreak2931 No problem! I saw your comment first and thought I wanted to try help spread it, and if I ever see the original i'll credit them as well. Although still thanks so much for helping me be able to spread it, I hope you have an amazing day ^^
@@Lk__ I hope you have an amazing day too :D
It’s really hard to find them tbh, I can think of only a handful who are still alive and open to talk about it. It is a very sensitive subject and I would love him to cover it because we’re the last generation to have direct contact with those people but it’s highly unlikely he will manage to do it :( fingers crossed though
I don't subscribe to channels too often, (even when they spam that in the videos) and I didn't immediately subscribe to you, but after seeing multiple videos from you, I have to say... I'm genuinely very impressed with not just the cinematography, or the script, but because you seem to have your heart in a good place, giving voices to those that we all want to hear, but don't usually get a platform.
I have a very deep fear of death and everything that has to do something with it (I was and still am very very scared to travel by plane for example eventough I know that it's one of the safest ways to travel). The video got recommended to me weeks ago but I had the feeling that it wasn't the right time yet to watch it. I just had a mental break down in the shower because the fear overcame me again. I felt so hopeless and lost. And then I remembered the video. This comment probably gets drowned but I just wanted to say how much it helped me to calm down and find inner peace again. Thank you for discussing topics like that!
As someone struggling with suicidal thoughts these people are just... Incredibly, amazingly beautiful. When Jeremy asked Anthony what he would do with these 9h30 left I simply burst into tears. Oh man I wish I could enjoy things I know I love deeply.
I think of my best friend who passed away in 2012, 5 years after being diagnosed with epilepsy. He struggled so much and one day he told me he had six months left ; two weeks later he was gone. :(
I hope that you will find help and reach out as you are able. I'm a sufferer of depression myself but with help I'm better than I was. Hang in there. It can get better.
You can. We all can. I know It seems impossible but trust me you can 💜 im saying this from experience
@@1985bjaycat Thanks. After 18 years of known depression yet not medical follow up I finally took a step forward. I have my first appointment with a psychiatrist tomorrow as I need a proper and full diagnosis. I trust you will keep on getting better!
@@elenagonzalez8463 Thanks. I am not giving up yet. I still care enough to stay here among the livings. I want to keep a positive mind as much as I can, and stop denying the darkness hanging at my foot.
I wish I can enjoy life like Jeremy. I feel like I'm living in auto pilot everyday. Depression is a bitch.
This reminded me of David Bowie, who was aware that his liver cancer was terminal yet managed to write and record an album ABOUT his death.
I believe Leonard Cohen’s last album is related to coming to the end of his life (So You Want It Dark or something like that).
the show must go on by queens came to mind too
@@sinis5731 yes! and even though it was technically written for a movie, who wants to live forever reminds me of that a lot too

Waiting for a video tituled "I spent a day with morticians" and of course Caitlin Doughty MUST be in it
Would be amazing!! But they're all super busy right now (understandably)
I'm willing to wait however long tho coz that episode would be amazing
PLEASEEEE
I love it! Great idea
WAIT WAIT AND THE WIRED MORTICIAN TOO.
@@evelynn3941 yes, Victor M. Sweeney is the best (I'm pretty sure that's his name lol, its very much a mortician name)
I could feel him when he said that there was no point and he was useless that one hit my right in the ❤
My dad's uncle had cystic fibrosis and he passed away at exactly 30. He was a very creative and amazingly talented person. He was an amazing photographer. He took photos because you have the ability to capture fragments of life and make them last forever. I really wish I could have met him.
I’m extremely anxious person and I didn’t want to watch this because I thought it will be terrible for my anxiety, but si did it because I also gave a chance to trust in Anthony, and like always he addressed the topic so naturally that even tho I know what I was watching I didn’t panic, actually I felt blessed to learn from these wonderful people. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for overcoming your anxiety to listen to our stories that means a lot
I feel the same as you and it was really relieving. I thought it would have triggered my anxiety but it didn’t. Such beautiful people
I recently read "They both die at the end", it's abook in which a company called "Death Cast" somehow knows when you're going to die and they call the affected people at around midnight to tell them they'll die sometime within the next 24 hours. When I read this, I always thought about how this could relate to terminal illnesses, and when Jeremy said the thing with the timer, it reminded me of that book too. Can highly recommend, it might be written more like a teen novel but it definitely made me re-think things quite a bit
thank you for the book recommendation :)
Clever title
My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 thyroid cancer around a year ago, and she thankfully survived it along with the treatment with just some hearing issues. I was with her in all her appointments and it really opened my eyes to the possibility and reality of death. At that time, I made sure that she enjoyed what ever she wanted, she smiled through the treatment even when it got hard saying “im gonna spend the rest of my time with a smile, I’ll enjoy my family and my friends with whatever i have left” and that is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard from someone so close to me.
Jeremie seems like the coolest dude ever. So nice and sincere.
His podcast is really cool too! Check out Sickboy Podcast
One of my friends lost her battle to CF at 22 years of age. She got a lung transplant but a year later the lungs rejected on her. Her last post on Instagram was “make the pain go away.” This one is deep.
I'm so sorry for your loss💔
I hope she rests easily, and go back to the place she loves the most🕊
I'm a CF carrier and I told my husband that he needed to be tested before we had kids, I just don't think I could knowingly bring a child into the world but had CF especially after seeing this.
This is why I want a natural burial. Basically you are in a big basket wrapped in lenin and they bury you. You can have all of the ceremonies cause they are mainly to bring comfort to the living. Everything is biodegradable and will rot. On the lid of the basket there is a sappling. The tree uses thr nutrition you provide to grow. It's a tombstone in the form of a tree. Somewhere where loved ones can go and be with you. I want to be able to provide a lil shade to my loved ones if they need some comfort to mourn or to just reminisce and visit. A final way I can bring them a little peace.
Ok the guy with cystic fibrosis gave me all the feels. Holy cow dude.
i know right
Jeremie is such an amazing speaker. I need to listen to every one of his podcast episodes now.
I’m not scared about me dying one day, I’m scared about my loved ones. My mom passed away 2 years back and it still hurts not having her in my life. Knowing I have to go through that pain multiple times through my life scares me and makes me feel scared of the future in a way. What if someone I love deeply dies tomorrow? No one knows and that is what makes me sad
I’m the same way. If I die it is what it is but I’m scared about those near me dying
Anthony was about to abandon the whole interview because he only has 9 hours. I ain't mad. Live your Life, people.
I have a terminal illness and this video really helped me come to terms with it. I know my life is going to be cut short but I can’t change the inevitable, so I’ve realized the only way is to just keep moving forward and enjoy life while I can. Y’all, never take your life for granted and cherish every moment with your loved ones because you never know when that day will come where you never see them again.
God bless, man!
I’m glad our video helped and I’m going to pray for u don’t give up at diagnosis in 2011 they said 2 years is what I had left it’s 10 years later and I’m still here!
@@Princessbeautymua I'm so glad you're still with us
Thank you for sharing your story, you’re totally right
I’m only 15 but I already believe this, it’s hard to make myself come to terms with it but it’s something I gotta do to move on. Death isn’t bad! Thank you for sharing your words ^^ I wish you all the best
So...Death is like procrastinating over deadlines for homework. the more you push it away, the harder it hits. Accept the deadline, live your life/do your homework to the fullest extent and the deadline...or death, won't feel as scary...i suppose.
I like that way of thinking... Thank you
That man's teacher was/is a hero for reaching out to his parents.
I would also like to say that Anthony is a remarkable person and it shows with the interactions between him and each guest. The insight and self reflection I get from videos like these would be impossible to describe with mere words.
The attitudes and perspective these people have to life are so inspiring to me. Recently my agoraphobia has been getting the better of me and I’ve been in a very negative place so hearing how these people have taken very negative circumstances and still made the most of their lives every day makes me want to continue trying to find the positives in my own situation too.
I like Jeremie, he's embracing the present moment fully. I'd love to have a deep conversation with him on Zen Buddhism.
We need to make it happen
Yesss i agree!!
Ikr? It made me really want to talk to him about existential therapy. I learned about it in one of my master's classes, but I feel like it didn't get talked about much after that class.
I totally geeked out about when he was discussing the sky death. I'm terminally ill and I wanted to donate my body to science especially for the diseases I have, but I found out you cannot choose where your body would go if you become a cadaver. It's just a random distribution. So when I heard him talking about the sky death I thought it was the most beautiful wonderful thing. Iit's a way to come full circle and give back to the Earth. I don't judge others if they prefer the traditional burial methods just for me I don't like the idea of my remains going to waste. I want to be able to contribute and give back in some way after I'm gone.
Also, please consider looking at Theravada Buddhism...it goes much more deeper..
Jeremy seems like such a humbled guy. His take on giving back to nature is really beautiful. I wish nothing but the best for him.
He took my thoughts to an extreme. The sky burial is bad ass. Ever since I found out that you can be cremated and then made into a tree, thats what Ive wanted. I can "live on" as a tree, giving back to the earth, producing air for my fellow life forms, etc. Also trees are majestic. Tall, strong, live 100s of years. Trees have always had a calming presence to me. I went to university which had redwood trees EVERYWHERE. I would never get bored looking up at them and wondering what they have seen. i too want to give back to the earth, but i think being the nutrition for a tree is what i want the most
When Jeremie said CF I immediately remembered Claire Wineland. They both have a contagious zest for both life and death. Claire passed in 2018 after a life of encouragement and death positive activism. Jeremie has that same spark. I feel joy knowing that the same attitude is living on in him
