Going through all the footage to edit this video and re-live your experiences must have been very difficult and weirdly healing at the same time. You've done a great job at telling Luke's story in relation to you and how you've processed it all. It was really nice to see all these things that we talked about in person while you were in Berlin, and how you've put everything into words. Proud of you for this piece Phillip. You've always got a home with wide open doors for you in Berlin :)
before the video, I felt so numb. Just exisiting through life not really doing anything. And now, oddly enough I'm like crying and laughing, yelling at him for stupid things he'd do. I feel so overwhelmingly emotional throughout the day but i'm glad I feel like less of a zombie.
As someone who lost several best friends over the years, I understand the pain and the anger, but the memories you have of Jack and this video will keep him alive forever. And you’re one of the strongest people I have seen on youtube, you’ve seen things no one should, you have gone through things no one should, and yet you still smile and keep going. That’s strength. Keep pushing man.
I wanted to thank all of you for supporting Luke on his cancer journey these past 2 years. Whenever Luke was feeling down, I'd always send him screenshots of the comments from the Tiktoks and he'd perk back up. You guys gave his battle through cancer so much meaning. This is never the video I wanted to make but I thought it was really important given Luke's wishes to have a lasting impact on this world. Many of you guys also donated to his GoFundMe and I can never express enough gratitude. I really wish this story had a different ending but that's life sometimes. Luke passed September 8th 2023. I'm sorry for posting this update so late. When Luke passed, I kind of just froze up and couldn't deal with it. I was also kind of worried I didn't have the skills to do this story justice. It's not a pretty story, but it's real and raw. Last thing: I've spent the last 3 months kind of hating myself for not getting to spend more time with him and whenever I catch myself having fun, I feel so much fucking guilt. But I also have to realize that I can't keep living like this forever and Luke wanted more from me. I've truly never met anyone with more of a will to live than Luke. So the rest of this year for me is dedicated to seizing life and telling stories that actually matter. RIP Luke
As someone who has lost loved ones to cancer, I am sorry for your loss. I know it's hard now but know your friend would want you to live the life you've been blessed with happy and not sad. Remember every day won't be a bad day. God bless!✌❤🙏✝
I think it's important to know that he had to go through HOURS and hours of footage to edit these videos, that must be extremely hard and emotionally heavy. So thanks for going through all of that man. I can't speak for everyone but I appreciate it. And you ask yourself why you even travel the world, well us viewers that may not be able to travel can sort of experience these places through your videos, personally these videos have helped me and encouraged me to better my life so much. Thanks Philip ❤
Everything is fine I lost my mom and dad and brother to cancer I know your pain just know that God is watching him in a good place and knowing I beat cancer I still think to my self why me out of all the people I lost to cancer and wonder what am I here for and last (◞‸◟ㆀ)ˢᵒʳʳʸ 🙏
No what Phillip did was WRONG . 30% of the PROFITS FROM TIKTOK , UA-cam , AND SOCIAL MEDIA WAS GIVEN BACK TO YOU PHILLIP . YOU FLEW BACK JUST FOR THE FUNERAL TO MAKE CONTENT AND HAD A FILM CREW COME IN AFTER YOUUUU OFFERED TO MAKE A SPEECH AFTER NOT BEING THERE FOR A YEAR OR MORE ONLY TO GET CONTENT TO FINISH THE VIDEO . WHEN YOU KNOW HIS DAD AND BROTHER ALSO HAVE CANCER AND CONNOT BARKEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES . You are a con man , and NO ONE KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN ME . I WAS THERE And YOU EVEN TRIED TO EVEN GET AT ME KNOWING ME AND LUKE WERE A TEAM. IF JACK NEVER CALLED YOU , YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN TO FINISH THE “STORY” , you’ve now made this About yourself instead of LUKE.
Honestly, I think it might have been very healing for him. My grandmother meant the world to me. When she passed, I offered to make a video of her life to commemorate her passing. It was painful, I cried a lot. And yet it was so incredibly healing to be able to make something, to feel like I could mourn her my own way through the process of that project. When everything was done, I felt lighter than air and I hope this guy got to have a similar experience.
@@Noluvjay_LOL i’m so sorry for your losses, you are incredibly strong to go through all of that and i hope you can recover and look forward to better days ❤ congratulations on beating cancer and i know anyone would want you to keep pushing through as much as you already have because as hopeless as it can feel your story is not over
Man you’ve suffered so much the last couple years bro I feel horrible please stay with us don’t do anything stupid I don’t understand the pain but I can see it in your eyes please and RIP to Luke he was a warrior
You know when he first passed, I kept thinking I don't want to exist anymore. But I really realized how disrespectful to Luke that was. Seeing him fight every single freaking day to just breath. Ya I have to live for Luke. Not just live but thrive.
Thank you so much for all you have done for us in this channel. Hope you know that you have inspired so many people to keep waking up and live life. @@PhillipVu
@@PhillipVuI've seen alot of cancer videos on youtube and my own aunt passed from the disease and I've lost friends from other things. Don't feel regretful for traveling while he was sick, I know for me that would make me so happy seeing my friend live his dream and I'm sure he got to live out his dreams of travel through your story's and videos. You took him to places he could never go. Never underestimate the power in that. Now he's with you on all of your travels. Life life to the fullest and travel to any places he wanted to. I know Luke was and is proud of you. Keep your head up and don't be afraid to take time off social media. The pain will never go away but you will learn to live with it. I'm so sorry.
This guy's lived a literal movie, excitement, drama, highs and lows. Despite the cinema-esque story, he poses it in a no-shit style and makes it relatable. No matter how unreachable or out of touch someone may seem, we're all people and have something to relate to. Respect and love brother

I think that my life is pretty out of touch with the average person, but throughout these out of world experiences, I feel like you guys can still connect with the emotions throughout.
I feel like this 27 year old man has lived through and experienced more than most people do in their whole lives. What he has had to do is something I can’t ever imagine doing myself. I watched a few other of his videos a while ago, from when he was living in Ukraine and I keep checking back on his channel every once in while, and every time I feel like he has experienced another lifetime worth of things. That can be good or bad but I think Philip is just an amazing person, and nothing will change that. He has experienced great loss, enjoyed many places and people, helped countless people, and made positive impacts on so many people. I know that sometimes you can feel like life is just the worst and you did Completely the wrong thing or made the wrong choice but life can also be the best thing ever. Just keep doing things that make you happy and interacting with people and one day or another things will be great. The next day things might be bad but that’s just life. Live life to the fullest and keep, doing what you are doing Philip❤

as I was reading this I thought about friendship. To me there's no such thing as friends because I never had it. There are just people that come through my life I spend time with but but they don't stay as a constant & they don't understand me. But that's just me because my childhood environment was having a covert narcissist mother with malignant narcissist sister. So I have trust issues and believe me it will take the rest of my life to heal.
When Luke said he has no visitors my heart sank “shit shit” this hole cancer series had me crying more than once. If this would ever happen to my best friend my tears would flood that church fr !!!! Phillip ❤

@@PhillipVuI’m glad you got to have the experience to meet such a wonderful person . As a teenager who lost a freind themselves , it seems impossible to continue without them . But I’ve been trying to find peace with myself and the simple things in life . And I hope u find peace and heal too man . ❤️
when he said that the better help app (therapy) basically saved his life that hit different. I have been in some very low places to the point of hospitalization so please if ur struggling reach out. I know its scary but your life is so important and special and as hard as things might be right now trust me when i say they get better. Things dont get better immediately and sometimes bad days still happen, but all of the hard work will pay off i promise.
I joke about how therapy has changed me so much after Ukraine. I think that it's just brought my so much peace and skills to deal with the everchanging landscape around me.

I’ve been crying for the past 30 minutes, this hits home for me because I’ve been dealing with depression for the past 10 years, my dad was also dealing with depression and so we made a promise that we will get the same depression tattoo and 2 months before I turned 15 in 2020 my dad committed suicide, it has been so hard without him and it just made my depression worse, my dads side of the family turned on me so it’s just me and my moms side, in 2022 I had to put down my best friend of 14 years then 5 days later my house burned down, it was a rough time in my life where I almost overdosed a couple times, then on my birthday last April on my 18th birthday I got the depression tattoo that me and my dad wanted, it just sucks he wasn’t there to see it, it’s been a rough past few months , back in August my stepdad got into a really bad car accident and he had a lot of brain injuries and multiple body injuries and right now 5 months later he is doing a lot better but he still can’t talk, I might try out the better help all like u said, I’m not sure, I just don’t know what to do, I’ve lost so many people and everything seems to go downhill, thank you to anyone reading this

I lost my sister, my soulmate, my everything that brought me peace in march of 2021 due to extreme postnatal depression that i did absolutely everything i could to prevent /help with.... she was 27 and had 3kids ages 7yo-6month old.... NOTHING could prepare me for this loss.... i lost my mom, my closest friends, my aunts who raised me and my grandmother and NOTHING hurt like this.... the pain is so overwhelming its almost unreal... but reality keeps slapping you in the face and forces you to face the facts.... it doesn't matter the amount of time you were friends, what matters is the impact youve made. And luke was just as incredible as my sister... pure soul, only loving and giving and determined to get through even when your body wont let you.... your an incredible friend and i have no doubt of the pride luke must have for you. ❤
hey man, this video really shows how wonderfull of a friend you were to him, while you weren't there at the time of his passing, you were always there every week to call him, you've made an amazing impact to his life, you rebuilt his living room and did so much more, be proud of the moments you had with him, beautiful video i've been sobbing basically the entire video, this just shows how beautiful of a person you are, keep being yourself!
This video made me cry so hard. Luke was such an incredible young man. Filled with so much courage and strength. His memory will always live on. I'm so sorry for you loss Phillip. Know that you have a bunch of people with you. RIP Luke. You will always be remembered.
The amount of pain makes me truly feel bad for you but you have to realize that you are how great you are because these moments shape you. Stay strong king and RIP to your friend
My bf had a best friend that he used to talk to every other day. My bf was waiting for a good time to introduce me to him. Before that could happen, the best friend suddenly passed. We went to his funeral together. The best friend’s dad kept saying how my bf reminded him of his son, that it’s like they were brothers. My bf still talk about him and I always let him express everything that comes with it. We share the tears and laughter. I never got to meet his best friend but I still get to experience it through my bf’s memories. The memories don’t disappear, they continue to live on and be celebrated ❤
This really kind of hits home for me and I know that feeling of disappointment. My mother got cancer in 2017 and all of my grandparents died in 2020 and with being stuck at home, it made me feel like shit. Made me realize that same thing. I picked up my act and got into a performing arts school and my god, I finally starting enjoying school, I like being there more than being home. Things do get better man, keep your head high, sorry for your loss, RIP Luke
My very first best friend and his family died a month before my birthday. He died when I was only ten years old now in 4 months I will be 13. Yesterday I cried and tried to hide my depression from my parents. I’ve been failing school as a 6th grader. My mom thought I was lazy I wasn’t lazy I was depressed the whole school that my best friend died his whole family. Someone spread the rumor about it. Every day I’m come home from school crying because I lost my best friend. I was a year older than him. I said this to my mother that in 4th grade that “I WANT TO DIE WITH HIM I RATHER BE WITH HIM” my mom tried to calm me down… and when I came to school everyone was saying I’m sorry for ur lost and I don’t want to make u feel depressed. I wasn’t in the car accident but I get visions like what did look like and how they looked like and I cry every night from their presence.
Same, my aunt passed away from cancer but that’s not what makes me depressed the most, the thing that makes me depressed is because of how people bullied me in the past and how I always vent out my anger on my friend and family, I feel sad a guilty over this thing, my mom forced me to say who bullied me and what happened claiming that saying this to her will make me feel better but it won’t and instead make me even mad because I forced to say it and I don’t even want anyone to know what happen, I’m trying to restart by sleeping early exercising but I just binge watch UA-cam and playing video games all day long, idk if I even have real friends
By far the best UA-cam channel I’ve given a subscription to, the way your videos are so enticing and engaging is absolutely incredible. You’ve been through a lot so to be able to deliver that through this video so vividly is amazing. Hope you continue to live on for Luke, may he rest in peace.
This is such a well made video. This was actually incredibly heartwarming and kind of comforting to watch because this had happened to my friend about a month ago. It's been incredibly hard but it's also nice to see that some other people are going through the same thing. It's nice seeing that other people see the same thing and feel the same emotions as I have, seeing that other people have had the same regrets that I have. All I wanna say, is thank you for making this video, it's incredibly well made, and so nice to see. Stay strong man
It feels like I've just been through most of his life through this video itself. Laughing at those little jokes, adoring his friendships with who ever he TRULY was with his whole heart, even sparks of anxiety hearing about the explosion that took place and terrible breakdown hearing about Luke. You've been through a lot man.. you managed to keep it all along when the most terrible things happened, most of us (yes I'm saying it) would NOT have held it together. Never. Luke reminded me of my late 11 year old sibling. She was the purest and the brightest soul I've ever met, sometimes i was so confused of how does she manage to be so brave hearted at such a young age? My little angel was always full of life to meet people and socialize as much as she could, on the otherhand i hated human company except for the ones at my home and most probably school i guess. One afternoon when I've ditched school for the day cause No BRO i was having a HUGE stomach ache (mentally ofc). Then came the most horrible phone call on my mother's phone about my sister's accident which happened because the school van driver was driving on the wrong side on a highway just to avoid traffic. We rushed as quick as we could, my mind went blank. The moment we reached at the hospital, we were greeted by the sight of 7 children and the driver on ventilators. Things got worse and worse as the days passed and i was intentionally never told that a portion in my sister's small intestine was majorly infected due to the handle of van which pierced through her. Surgeries were done and the bowel was removed. She was on tubes and pipes, several weeks we had no idea what to do, where to go, emotional support was not worth it. 5 years ago on 5 March 2019, my sweetheart left for the heaven peacefully. She had an organ failure and im so happy to know that everyone was with her, everyone. We have improved since then and have had more memorable moments together. Be greatful to who ever you have right now, please, you never know what lies in the very next second. Things can flip the way you can never even think of. Cherish each moment, preserve them and take care of them as if its their last. Good luck my people. Thank you Phillip for being so strong to share it all with us. Luke was definitely the proudest person to have you as a friend. No matter what amount of time was spent together, it must have been worth it. Its okay, please never blame yourself being away when your friend was in hospital. We are humans dear. I pray the almighty to bless you with power and strength, i believe. Thank you again.
I lost my sister to cancer, and i have so many regrets about how i handled things with her. I wish i could finish watching this, but it's too hard right now. Thank you for being there for him, and being such a good friend
My best friend and I were born on the same day same year and everything. When we met we were randomly assigned roommates. We couldn’t believe it. When they died before our 21st birthday it felt like the wind was knocked right out of me. I think of them every single day and I try to remember to keep living for them. I am so sorry for your loss and I send all my love to you in the world.
Luke was such an inspiration to always do things out of your comfort zone and to not be scared to try new things same with you Phil. You are living on in his memory and you commemorated him so well man. Keep on keeping on cuz as soon as we stop and give up so does life on us
I'm so heartbroken for you. We choose our friends and this is a thing that should not be happening, especially at our age. You know that Luke wants you to keep living your best life, i know you will keep on living your best life for him. I'm just glad that we can watch you do it. Stay strong Philip
Just lost a dear friend. Rest easy Kristin Nicole Goodness.. hold the gates open cause i need someone to sneak me in. I miss and love you and I'll live for you as well..
Man I’m so so sorry. Like seemed like a good friend. I don’t know him like you do but dang it sucks to loose a friend. I almost lost a friend last year to suicide and can’t imagine what your going through everyday . One of my best friends but all we can do is move forward and keep living our lives. Don’t give up and keep traveling, keep dreaming, keep fighting for what you want to do because you have so much more to live for. You’re an amazing person and makes me smile everyday. You got this man and you’ll make it through, I’m positive. R.I.P Luke
This story was… just… so packed… the places you have explored, the people you have met, and the people who have been in your life… treasure every day because each day is a blessing. I can’t stress enough how important it is to express your real feelings with real people to hear them. No matter how old you are, you can express your real feelings. Like if I were to be an eight year old, for example, I could cry about something that someone might think is silly for me to worry about as if it being an end of a era or something like that. If you express them to real people, they will support you, they will support you no matter what. In Twenty Twenty, my Grandpa passed. It seems so crazy that, that was four years ago… coming from the heart of a fellow viewer, who is open to talking about feelings. Bless you. ❤
Man, I'm so sorry. When I was 22, I lost yy first fiancé and 6 months later lost my best friend...and a few years later lost my dad who was my best friend and so my only living grandparent, my pop-pop. It gets better. It still hurts..grief comes like waves..but time does help. Live life to the fullest. 💓💗❤️ ps: I've always wanted to come to the Phillipines!
Your videos are always so real and provides me solace. Huge respect to see you fighting through everything that you have faced in life and still managing to put a smile on your face. It takes a lot of courage to face one's struggles positively, let alone share it for a million to see. I am sure I speak for many when I say we are proud of you. I hope you continue to thrive and live a life so unforgettable.
I feel you man, this touched my heart. I lost my friend to cancer as well, he was a wonderful person who was so full of hope and inspiration. When people are hit with the worst troubles, they learn what the best things in life are, and cherish what they have. I spent as much time as I could with him, even if it was really hard sometimes because my heart would ache. You are a trooper, someone with a good heart who never left their best friend. I’m sure he felt so happy to have you by his side through everything. Bless you, and your recovery.
wow man. Im so touched by your content. what you have created is beautiful and im excited that I found you as a creator. please continue to do great things. im currently going through some stuff that is making me appreciate pursuing what i want to do in life, growing up is hard but it makes you appreciate everything. So sorry for your loss. keep pushing through everything
The fact that u are able to talk about what's happened to you theses past couple years rlly shows something, because most ppl can't ur story is really motivating to a ton of ppl and I want to say thank you for staying strong
Fuck me man, I’m sorry dude, can’t imagine the stress and pain, you have been through a ton, but don’t let everything go, he loved you, we love you, every single one of us including Luke are proud of you, it’s going to be tough, but you will get through it, don’t hate yourself for anything, life happens and staying hooked on one shitty thing for too long will demolish you, please cut yourself some slack and just know that we are here to support you, take as much time as you need thank you for everything!
This guy has STRUGGLED through these past years. I couldn’t have even fathomed this much emotion. Please don’t go anywhere tho. We want you here and healthy. Rest In Peace Luke 🙏
You’ve been through a lot and I’m glad I got to see your story. It’s inspired me to keep moving forward no matter what tries to stop me. Thank you and may your friend Luke rest in peace
Dear Phillip: thank you. I don't usually comment like this, but I feel I have to make an exception here. I struggle to empathise and connect with people, but your videos are one of the few that I feel like I can truly relate to and get invested in. I haven't been watching you for long, but as a filipino-american who grew up disconnected from their filipino roots and feared that I might be judged harshly and ostracized for it if I ever got to fulfill my dream of visiting the Phillipines, your videos have brought me a lot of comfort and confidence. Your honesty and realism also helped me face some of my own personal issues in a way that nothing else really has, and you have the honor of being one of the few people to touch me enough to make me cry. As such, I'm really sorry you had to go through all this; it doesn't feel fair at all. I can't even imagine how you must feel, but I'm glad you're doing better---even if better isn't "back to normal", given grief takes so, so much time to heal. I know I'm just some stranger on the internet, but I hope this message lets you know that you have lots of people who care about you, and are genuinely so glad you've made it this far and gone on all these journeys. You may feel like a failure or a terrible friend and person, but you're not. Everything that happened wasn't your fault, and you do make a difference. Even if it's to just one other person like me. So please, stay strong and keep moving forward. Take care of yourself, even if it means we never see you on UA-cam agai. There will be better days ahead, and I hope you reach them soon.
Big props. Big hugs. Couldn't make it past you getting the news. It's been 3 years since I lost my best friend to cancer after a horrendous fight. 3rd strike and she was out. I'd like to say it gets rasier. It actially does but sometime you're yeeted back to that time when the loss was fresh. Don't think I'll ever be able to watch the rest of your video. Keep living for him. It's what I'm doing for Linda.
you're making a huge impact in the world with your videos man. appreciate all you've done to help Luke throughout his life and after and everything you've done for others
Man this video hit different... i lost my mother to cancer when i was 8 and i felt what you said there really. She was told by the doctors she had 4 months to live and ended up living 15 while even going on a trip, never making me or the entire family feel low and staying strong throughout. Im sorry for your loss dude tc and rip luke, he's an inspiration too many
Phillip. This is the most beautifully edited and well-constructed documentary that I have seen on the short yet extraordinarily beautiful journey that is life, and the immense value of friendship through it all! Thank you for making content that speaks uniquely and personally to not only myself in experiencing all of life’s joys and sorrows, but also to all of your other viewers in unique and exceedingly touching ways!!
My heart aches for you, I am so sorry you lost someone so important to you, dealing with grief is one of the hardest things to go through, Just know this video will live on forever and so will the memories you made with Luke!
What a beautiful video! It really hits home for me as my best friend is currently going through an undiagnosed illness. I’m not sure how much longer he has and unfortunately I live in another country. I pray everyday he gets better. Anyways what an amazing friendship you guys have and I know it will never die!
Thank you for this video. My mom was diagnosed with leukemia in July 2002. I became her primary caregiver, and your friendship to Luke was so inspiring. The words and video tribute that you gave him was great. Continue to live and enjoy life, and do what Luke would have wanted you to do. Thats live life to the Fullest. My mom would pass on February 4th 2003. #CancerSucks #FuckCancer
Honestly I'm sure you heard sorry for your loss many times. I really hope that no matter what pain you'll go through it will be alright❤. I know you said you were depressed and I am glad you're doing much better ❤️ I am happy that you met more friends who made you feel yourself and feel like family and feel free. Seeing Luke as your best friend has made me realize how real friendships are. There are times you can't always be with the people you love and a true friend really hides how they feel for a reason. To see you happy ❤. So take your time, Healing doesn't happen over night and you got this. Luke loves you so much and he wants the best for you 💕 Luke is proud to call you his Best Friend. I pray to God that you find your way around your life, you got this !!!
Hi, I hope you are taking care of yourself. I have a good close friend of mine who has been battling Leukemia since a young age. I’ve always struggled with my own personal problems(mental health and such…), so I didn’t have the energy to visit her. However, once I watched your whole story, I realized that being sad and isolating myself will waste precious time away from those who may not even be able to stick around to the very end. Time is precious, and it cannot be replaced. She is also going though a lot…so why not we be there for each other? I am going to visit her very soon, hopefully I can make things right and be a better friend and overall person and cherish the rest of our time together. Thank you for being so strong, and thank you for humbling me. I hope you know that you were the light in your best friend’s darkest last moments of his life, and he definitely thought of you till the very end. Grief is very messy, so don’t rush yourself. Keep moving forward, but always look back fondly on the past. These memories you shared together have happened, and will always be there. No, we cannot change the past. It’s something we must live with. But we can live in the present, everyday is a new day. Your best friend is with you, that beautiful tattoo is a symbol of your guy’s story. I hope you will be easier to yourself, take care. :)
Hey man love your content It kinda made me emotional cause at time I feel very lonely and depressed and have nobody to talk to, sometimes I would just listen to sad music and spend time alone. I am very lost in life ryt now and don’t know what to do. Watching your video made me feel a lot better knowing that there are more people who have go through mental health. Keep up the good work man wishing you a happy life ahead.
I’m feeling really lost too right now. But in my mind I try to reframe that feeling as “finding a new path”. Maybe if it’s something that’s accessible to you, you could look for volunteer opportunities around you. I did that and it helped me socialize a bit more and give me a feeling of purpose. Wishing you the best, I hope you find peace my friend.
I feel your pain man. My three best friends all died in a car accident together and I just lost my lasy best friend three months ago because someone pulled out in front of him well he was riding his motorcycle. The world is so unfair and makes no sense. Im scared to get close to anyone and Become best friends because i feel like they will die also.
hey phillip i found this video and i want to share this with you. I had a bestfriend too he was kind. He taught me many things and we had a good relationship but one day he didnt respond to my messages then his family had informed me. He died of a heart attack. I was Devastated. When he died i realized the things he taught me and i thank him for the good memories i have with him every year. He taught me to cherish the moments we get because it might be our last time seeing the people we love. Thank you for sharing this with us and i know your best friend was a good guy. Im sure he taught u good things and you had good memories and i hope you all go to heaven
Wow... Came here from the Roger clip on Shorts, didn't expect to watch a heartaching video. The story telling was so touching, that I've been tearing up for the past 20 minutes. Luke would've been proud to have seen this masterpiece and see your character development.
you just remined me of a life story of a famous actor "Sanjay Dutt". his father also died, and he had a speech prepared for him but couldn't say it to him and he regrated it for not telling him the speech earlier. we have a movie about him named "SANJU" and it went famous.!!!
Rest in piece Luke. This video has inspired me to do so much more with my life. I'm beginning to appreciate the world around me and trying harder in my classes. I come did watching video, I can't even imagine what you must be feeling right now. Stay strong.❤❤❤
I am so unbeleivably sorry for your loss. I feel your pain in so many ways i just recently lost my grandfather and my best friends dad passed away as well. Dont let what happened determine who you are and continue being an amazing content creator. I am so sorry for your loss and i hope that you do well.
I rarely get emotional over anything but this, this got me. I trust that you'll remain strong bro. I don't have a best friend but I can't imagine losing someone that dear in your life🙏
Luke seemed like such an amazing and kind soul. I feel so bad that not a lot of people visited him it makes me so sad I hope luke is doing good up there Rest in peace luke ♥️
Someone asked me a few months ago of what my biggest fear is. My reply was said something along the lines of "I'm mostly scared of losing one of the closest people around me.". I had been holding myself back from watching this video, just because of how much I thought it would bring up in me. After meeting you in person and hearing your stories, I could not help but live my life and days more intentionally and really do the things that matter to me, such as keeping up with close friends and not taking things for granted. The amount of things you've gone through are absolutely insane Phillip. I cried so much throughout this video, thinking of how difficult of an experience this must have been. I was able to put my feet into your shoes, because of all of the footage and your incredible storytelling skills. In a way, I too felt like I lost a friend and bawled throughout the whole video, so hard. You're incredibly inspiring and what has left a place in my heart, is how kind, generous, loving and lively you are, regardless of shit you've had to go through. Really grateful to have met you Phil ❤And thank you for telling Luke's story and spreading his message and energy. Through this video you allowed for his soul and spirit to live on forever. Incredible ❤
I can’t imagine the pain that you are going through. You are so strong, and I’m sure he would want you to be happy. Congrats on everything you’ve accomplished and you are an amazing person and friend to Luke.
I am so sorry for your loss, losing someone so close to your heart must be absolutely devastating. You're so unbelievably strong for all that's been happening in your life for the past few months, it's honestly incredible. I hope it gets better from here and I hope you'll take time for yourself to heal. A break is always welcome, you can let the world wait for as long as you need.
Im so sorry that you had to go through these. I have lost multiple loved ones to different illnesses and one to a car accident and it just.. sucks.. traumatic and heartbreaking😢 Im however so happy to see in your recent videos that you seem to be doing a lot better mentally then when I started watching you a looong time ago. That feel espacially great since you’re someone who I, via your content online, have learned to somewhat know and love almost like a younger brother. ❤ Im still hoping that you will reach out one day about going to Sweden and wanting someone to be your guide or someone to chill or party with. 🇸🇪 🇺🇸 I would treat you just like a older sister should and love every second of it! 🎉❤ (Atleast I think Im older then you. My point being that it feels like I know you that well after having watched you forever - pretty much every single video/short/post you put out) 😅😅 Hope you’ll take me up on this and that we’ll meet one day! 😊🎉
I stumbled across this video on my recommended page today. I’ve never seen anything by you before. But I feel like i was supposed to see it right now in my life. Right now I’m at a super low point. I recently got a therapist because I was scared of what I would do when I was alone with myself. Having that reminder to keep pushing means the world. Even if sometimes I don’t want to, I need to do it for those who don’t have the opportunity to ❤️
My best friend was like a sister to me, and i lost her. It's like feeling a part in you that dies too. He was loved, and even if you feel like he died, still lives on you now. Live the double! You have to be even more for both. Sorry for my english, but i needed to say that you are never alone. And he will always be there.
Hard to hear this, can’t imagine how I’d feel in this scenario. Stay strong bro, hopefully 2024 is a year of joy and recovery for you and Luke’s family ❤
I just lost my best friend of 20 years to cancer. He lived in Berlin. I'm totally numb and don't even know how to process this. Your video is beautiful and I'm so sorry for your loss
My best friend died about a month ago, 6/4/2024 due to a car accident heading home from school. The first 2 weeks were the hardest. I remember the night I found out, the entire night I spent crying. Pretty much waking up every 3 hours. It was all I could think about. I noticed I started forgetting to eat or go outside which made me realize I wasn’t handling it well so I started making a change. I made a promise to myself that whatever happens, I will find some source of positivity in my life. I found a UA-camr, Dream, that ended up helping me get through it all and take things more easy. In the end of the day, I’m still 13 and I won’t spend this time mopping around forever, wasting my time that isn’t infinite. Things still feel weird adjusting to it all, but nothing lasts forever. Fly high T 🕊️❤️
You have one of the most incredible lives I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us; I’ve never watched another UA-camr so seamlessly, I forget what time it is. You really inspire me to up my game and remember what I’m here for. (As a Filipina-American I’m also sorry your deposit was stolen. The Filipinos can be the kindest, and also, in the hardest positions to do things like this). Cheers to so many greater moments in life.
Bro i hope you stay happy to see you go through so much is really painfull and sad , i was crying for like the whole video, and i never met Luke every scene of you and luke just made me tear up . I can't imagine what you have gone through losing a brother . I just hope that you make more friends and live a happy life .
Going through all the footage to edit this video and re-live your experiences must have been very difficult and weirdly healing at the same time. You've done a great job at telling Luke's story in relation to you and how you've processed it all.
It was really nice to see all these things that we talked about in person while you were in Berlin, and how you've put everything into words. Proud of you for this piece Phillip. You've always got a home with wide open doors for you in Berlin :)
before the video, I felt so numb. Just exisiting through life not really doing anything. And now, oddly enough I'm like crying and laughing, yelling at him for stupid things he'd do. I feel so overwhelmingly emotional throughout the day but i'm glad I feel like less of a zombie.
@@PhillipVuI'm so sorry for your loss
@@PhillipVu 17:19 I am sorry for what happened. Hope you feel better.😢
As someone who lost several best friends over the years, I understand the pain and the anger, but the memories you have of Jack and this video will keep him alive forever. And you’re one of the strongest people I have seen on youtube, you’ve seen things no one should, you have gone through things no one should, and yet you still smile and keep going. That’s strength. Keep pushing man.
Man death sucks
I wanted to thank all of you for supporting Luke on his cancer journey these past 2 years. Whenever Luke was feeling down, I'd always send him screenshots of the comments from the Tiktoks and he'd perk back up. You guys gave his battle through cancer so much meaning.
This is never the video I wanted to make but I thought it was really important given Luke's wishes to have a lasting impact on this world. Many of you guys also donated to his GoFundMe and I can never express enough gratitude. I really wish this story had a different ending but that's life sometimes.
Luke passed September 8th 2023. I'm sorry for posting this update so late. When Luke passed, I kind of just froze up and couldn't deal with it.
I was also kind of worried I didn't have the skills to do this story justice. It's not a pretty story, but it's real and raw.
Last thing: I've spent the last 3 months kind of hating myself for not getting to spend more time with him and whenever I catch myself having fun, I feel so much fucking guilt. But I also have to realize that I can't keep living like this forever and Luke wanted more from me. I've truly never met anyone with more of a will to live than Luke. So the rest of this year for me is dedicated to seizing life and telling stories that actually matter.
RIP Luke
I’m sorry this had you Rip fly high Luke I hope you get over this you have a lot ahead of you bro you can get over this.
Damn bro, this deserves to go viral. rip legend 🕊️
As someone who has lost loved ones to cancer, I am sorry for your loss. I know it's hard now but know your friend would want you to live the life you've been blessed with happy and not sad. Remember every day won't be a bad day. God bless!✌❤🙏✝
im so sorry you had to go through this
man when the funeral part of the video came I started to cry
I think it's important to know that he had to go through HOURS and hours of footage to edit these videos, that must be extremely hard and emotionally heavy. So thanks for going through all of that man. I can't speak for everyone but I appreciate it.
And you ask yourself why you even travel the world, well us viewers that may not be able to travel can sort of experience these places through your videos, personally these videos have helped me and encouraged me to better my life so much. Thanks Philip ❤
rest in peace🕊️
Everything is fine I lost my mom and dad and brother to cancer I know your pain just know that God is watching him in a good place and knowing I beat cancer I still think to my self why me out of all the people I lost to cancer and wonder what am I here for and last (◞‸◟ㆀ)ˢᵒʳʳʸ 🙏
No what Phillip did was WRONG . 30% of the PROFITS FROM TIKTOK , UA-cam , AND SOCIAL MEDIA WAS GIVEN BACK TO YOU PHILLIP . YOU FLEW BACK JUST FOR THE FUNERAL TO MAKE CONTENT AND HAD A FILM CREW COME IN AFTER YOUUUU OFFERED TO MAKE A SPEECH AFTER NOT BEING THERE FOR A YEAR OR MORE ONLY TO GET CONTENT TO FINISH THE VIDEO . WHEN YOU KNOW HIS DAD AND BROTHER ALSO HAVE CANCER AND CONNOT BARKEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES . You are a con man , and NO ONE KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN ME . I WAS THERE And YOU EVEN TRIED TO EVEN GET AT ME KNOWING ME AND LUKE WERE A TEAM. IF JACK NEVER CALLED YOU , YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN TO FINISH THE “STORY” , you’ve now made this About yourself instead of LUKE.
Honestly, I think it might have been very healing for him. My grandmother meant the world to me. When she passed, I offered to make a video of her life to commemorate her passing. It was painful, I cried a lot. And yet it was so incredibly healing to be able to make something, to feel like I could mourn her my own way through the process of that project. When everything was done, I felt lighter than air and I hope this guy got to have a similar experience.
@@Noluvjay_LOL i’m so sorry for your losses, you are incredibly strong to go through all of that and i hope you can recover and look forward to better days ❤ congratulations on beating cancer and i know anyone would want you to keep pushing through as much as you already have because as hopeless as it can feel your story is not over
Bro this dude has gone through so much pain its surprising that he has not done something bad or worse. Stay good my guy
True man
Every single person will experience the pain of a loved one dying. Maybe it's true that the ones who don't are the ones in real pain
I feel you bro stay strong there's still more to live more to do redeem yourself. And lets hope for his best 🤍
F cancer man I'm sorry about this don't give up it's what Luke would've wanted for you to keep going
Something bad or worse? What do you even mean..? You're shocked he didn't unalive himself?
Man you’ve suffered so much the last couple years bro I feel horrible please stay with us don’t do anything stupid I don’t understand the pain but I can see it in your eyes please and RIP to Luke he was a warrior
You know when he first passed, I kept thinking I don't want to exist anymore. But I really realized how disrespectful to Luke that was. Seeing him fight every single freaking day to just breath. Ya I have to live for Luke. Not just live but thrive.
Thank you so much for all you have done for us in this channel. Hope you know that you have inspired so many people to keep waking up and live life. @@PhillipVu
@@PhillipVuI've seen alot of cancer videos on youtube and my own aunt passed from the disease and I've lost friends from other things. Don't feel regretful for traveling while he was sick, I know for me that would make me so happy seeing my friend live his dream and I'm sure he got to live out his dreams of travel through your story's and videos. You took him to places he could never go. Never underestimate the power in that. Now he's with you on all of your travels. Life life to the fullest and travel to any places he wanted to. I know Luke was and is proud of you. Keep your head up and don't be afraid to take time off social media. The pain will never go away but you will learn to live with it. I'm so sorry.
@@PhillipVuYou can get through anything, just remember all the people by your side, 1.03 million people and counting. You got this.
:(
This guy's lived a literal movie, excitement, drama, highs and lows. Despite the cinema-esque story, he poses it in a no-shit style and makes it relatable. No matter how unreachable or out of touch someone may seem, we're all people and have something to relate to. Respect and love brother

I think that my life is pretty out of touch with the average person, but throughout these out of world experiences, I feel like you guys can still connect with the emotions throughout.
I feel like this 27 year old man has lived through and experienced more than most people do in their whole lives. What he has had to do is something I can’t ever imagine doing myself. I watched a few other of his videos a while ago, from when he was living in Ukraine and I keep checking back on his channel every once in while, and every time I feel like he has experienced another lifetime worth of things. That can be good or bad but I think Philip is just an amazing person, and nothing will change that. He has experienced great loss, enjoyed many places and people, helped countless people, and made positive impacts on so many people. I know that sometimes you can feel like life is just the worst and you did Completely the wrong thing or made the wrong choice but life can also be the best thing ever. Just keep doing things that make you happy and interacting with people and one day or another things will be great. The next day things might be bad but that’s just life. Live life to the fullest and keep, doing what you are doing Philip❤

as I was reading this I thought about friendship. To me there's no such thing as friends because I never had it. There are just people that come through my life I spend time with but but they don't stay as a constant & they don't understand me. But that's just me because my childhood environment was having a covert narcissist mother with malignant narcissist sister. So I have trust issues and believe me it will take the rest of my life to heal.
Which is why I hope he writes a book about events he experienced everyday and gives advice to us
When Luke said he has no visitors my heart sank “shit shit” this hole cancer series had me crying more than once. If this would ever happen to my best friend my tears would flood that church fr !!!! Phillip ❤

Stay strong dude your grandpa must of been a great man and he is definitely taking care of you from somewhere 🙏🏼🙏🏼
dang im sorry for your loss bro, i bet he was a great man 💪🙏🕊️
life only has room to get better man
I'm so sorry that happened to you, stay strong and positive
Sorry for Ur loss
This video must have taken a lot to make man. You know Luke is cheering from heaven so keep inspiring us, I really look up to you man.
When I went through this footage, it was the first time I’d heard his voice in awhile.
Ponce actually went through it first so I’m very thankful
@@PhillipVuI’m glad you got to have the experience to meet such a wonderful person . As a teenager who lost a freind themselves , it seems impossible to continue without them . But I’ve been trying to find peace with myself and the simple things in life . And I hope u find peace and heal too man . ❤️
RIP Luke, you were a fighter.
when he said that the better help app (therapy) basically saved his life that hit different. I have been in some very low places to the point of hospitalization so please if ur struggling reach out. I know its scary but your life is so important and special and as hard as things might be right now trust me when i say they get better. Things dont get better immediately and sometimes bad days still happen, but all of the hard work will pay off i promise.
I joke about how therapy has changed me so much after Ukraine. I think that it's just brought my so much peace and skills to deal with the everchanging landscape around me.
@@PhillipVuMuch Love!!!!!!

@@PhillipVuYou need a lifelong vacation of just peace and happiness bruh. Your life story is so insane.
I’ve been crying for the past 30 minutes, this hits home for me because I’ve been dealing with depression for the past 10 years, my dad was also dealing with depression and so we made a promise that we will get the same depression tattoo and 2 months before I turned 15 in 2020 my dad committed suicide, it has been so hard without him and it just made my depression worse, my dads side of the family turned on me so it’s just me and my moms side, in 2022 I had to put down my best friend of 14 years then 5 days later my house burned down, it was a rough time in my life where I almost overdosed a couple times, then on my birthday last April on my 18th birthday I got the depression tattoo that me and my dad wanted, it just sucks he wasn’t there to see it, it’s been a rough past few months , back in August my stepdad got into a really bad car accident and he had a lot of brain injuries and multiple body injuries and right now 5 months later he is doing a lot better but he still can’t talk, I might try out the better help all like u said, I’m not sure, I just don’t know what to do, I’ve lost so many people and everything seems to go downhill, thank you to anyone reading this
Sending love and light ❤

stay strong!!!
This news absolutely sucks,I went through something similar. Lets pray he's somewhere better now.
this is so sad to see
you've been through so much and your and amazing person. stay strong.
i just want to say sorry for you loss for the true friend that u had and i know u here this a lot but this vid was a true inspiration
I love how positive he stayed even while dealing with so much. You’re a good friend, keep going and honouring him!
I lost my sister, my soulmate, my everything that brought me peace in march of 2021 due to extreme postnatal depression that i did absolutely everything i could to prevent /help with.... she was 27 and had 3kids ages 7yo-6month old....
NOTHING could prepare me for this loss.... i lost my mom, my closest friends, my aunts who raised me and my grandmother and NOTHING hurt like this.... the pain is so overwhelming its almost unreal... but reality keeps slapping you in the face and forces you to face the facts.... it doesn't matter the amount of time you were friends, what matters is the impact youve made. And luke was just as incredible as my sister... pure soul, only loving and giving and determined to get through even when your body wont let you.... your an incredible friend and i have no doubt of the pride luke must have for you. ❤
hey man, this video really shows how wonderfull of a friend you were to him, while you weren't there at the time of his passing, you were always there every week to call him, you've made an amazing impact to his life, you rebuilt his living room and did so much more, be proud of the moments you had with him, beautiful video i've been sobbing basically the entire video, this just shows how beautiful of a person you are, keep being yourself!
This video made me cry so hard. Luke was such an incredible young man. Filled with so much courage and strength. His memory will always live on. I'm so sorry for you loss Phillip. Know that you have a bunch of people with you. RIP Luke. You will always be remembered.
The amount of pain makes me truly feel bad for you but you have to realize that you are how great you are because these moments shape you. Stay strong king and RIP to your friend
My bf had a best friend that he used to talk to every other day. My bf was waiting for a good time to introduce me to him. Before that could happen, the best friend suddenly passed. We went to his funeral together. The best friend’s dad kept saying how my bf reminded him of his son, that it’s like they were brothers. My bf still talk about him and I always let him express everything that comes with it. We share the tears and laughter. I never got to meet his best friend but I still get to experience it through my bf’s memories. The memories don’t disappear, they continue to live on and be celebrated ❤
This really kind of hits home for me and I know that feeling of disappointment. My mother got cancer in 2017 and all of my grandparents died in 2020 and with being stuck at home, it made me feel like shit. Made me realize that same thing. I picked up my act and got into a performing arts school and my god, I finally starting enjoying school, I like being there more than being home. Things do get better man, keep your head high, sorry for your loss, RIP Luke
My very first best friend and his family died a month before my birthday. He died when I was only ten years old now in 4 months I will be 13. Yesterday I cried and tried to hide my depression from my parents. I’ve been failing school as a 6th grader. My mom thought I was lazy I wasn’t lazy I was depressed the whole school that my best friend died his whole family. Someone spread the rumor about it. Every day I’m come home from school crying because I lost my best friend. I was a year older than him. I said this to my mother that in 4th grade that “I WANT TO DIE WITH HIM I RATHER BE WITH HIM” my mom tried to calm me down… and when I came to school everyone was saying I’m sorry for ur lost and I don’t want to make u feel depressed. I wasn’t in the car accident but I get visions like what did look like and how they looked like and I cry every night from their presence.
Same, my aunt passed away from cancer but that’s not what makes me depressed the most, the thing that makes me depressed is because of how people bullied me in the past and how I always vent out my anger on my friend and family, I feel sad a guilty over this thing, my mom forced me to say who bullied me and what happened claiming that saying this to her will make me feel better but it won’t and instead make me even mad because I forced to say it and I don’t even want anyone to know what happen, I’m trying to restart by sleeping early exercising but I just binge watch UA-cam and playing video games all day long, idk if I even have real friends
By far the best UA-cam channel I’ve given a subscription to, the way your videos are so enticing and engaging is absolutely incredible. You’ve been through a lot so to be able to deliver that through this video so vividly is amazing. Hope you continue to live on for Luke, may he rest in peace.
This is such a well made video. This was actually incredibly heartwarming and kind of comforting to watch because this had happened to my friend about a month ago. It's been incredibly hard but it's also nice to see that some other people are going through the same thing. It's nice seeing that other people see the same thing and feel the same emotions as I have, seeing that other people have had the same regrets that I have. All I wanna say, is thank you for making this video, it's incredibly well made, and so nice to see. Stay strong man
It feels like I've just been through most of his life through this video itself. Laughing at those little jokes, adoring his friendships with who ever he TRULY was with his whole heart, even sparks of anxiety hearing about the explosion that took place and terrible breakdown hearing about Luke. You've been through a lot man.. you managed to keep it all along when the most terrible things happened, most of us (yes I'm saying it) would NOT have held it together. Never.
Luke reminded me of my late 11 year old sibling. She was the purest and the brightest soul I've ever met, sometimes i was so confused of how does she manage to be so brave hearted at such a young age? My little angel was always full of life to meet people and socialize as much as she could, on the otherhand i hated human company except for the ones at my home and most probably school i guess.
One afternoon when I've ditched school for the day cause No BRO i was having a HUGE stomach ache (mentally ofc).
Then came the most horrible phone call on my mother's phone about my sister's accident which happened because the school van driver was driving on the wrong side on a highway just to avoid traffic. We rushed as quick as we could, my mind went blank.
The moment we reached at the hospital, we were greeted by the sight of 7 children and the driver on ventilators.
Things got worse and worse as the days passed and i was intentionally never told that a portion in my sister's small intestine was majorly infected due to the handle of van which pierced through her. Surgeries were done and the bowel was removed. She was on tubes and pipes, several weeks we had no idea what to do, where to go, emotional support was not worth it. 5 years ago on 5 March 2019, my sweetheart left for the heaven peacefully. She had an organ failure and im so happy to know that everyone was with her, everyone. We have improved since then and have had more memorable moments together. Be greatful to who ever you have right now, please, you never know what lies in the very next second. Things can flip the way you can never even think of. Cherish each moment, preserve them and take care of them as if its their last.
Good luck my people.
Thank you Phillip for being so strong to share it all with us. Luke was definitely the proudest person to have you as a friend. No matter what amount of time was spent together, it must have been worth it. Its okay, please never blame yourself being away when your friend was in hospital. We are humans dear.
I pray the almighty to bless you with power and strength, i believe. Thank you again.
He didn’t lose to cancer. When he died, cancer died with him. So, cancer didn’t win, but he had a draw. RIP
I'm gonna be honest, I never met Luke, but I started tearing up during the speech at the funeral
I lost my sister to cancer, and i have so many regrets about how i handled things with her. I wish i could finish watching this, but it's too hard right now. Thank you for being there for him, and being such a good friend
My best friend and I were born on the same day same year and everything. When we met we were randomly assigned roommates. We couldn’t believe it. When they died before our 21st birthday it felt like the wind was knocked right out of me. I think of them every single day and I try to remember to keep living for them. I am so sorry for your loss and I send all my love to you in the world.
Luke was such an inspiration to always do things out of your comfort zone and to not be scared to try new things same with you Phil. You are living on in his memory and you commemorated him so well man. Keep on keeping on cuz as soon as we stop and give up so does life on us
I'm so heartbroken for you. We choose our friends and this is a thing that should not be happening, especially at our age.
You know that Luke wants you to keep living your best life, i know you will keep on living your best life for him.
I'm just glad that we can watch you do it.
Stay strong Philip
I’m legit never complaining about my life again that guy is literally wasting away on the phone that must be so heart breaking I can’t even imagine
I love you bro. The world needs more people like you
Just lost a dear friend.
Rest easy Kristin Nicole Goodness.. hold the gates open cause i need someone to sneak me in.
I miss and love you and I'll live for you as well..
Man I’m so so sorry. Like seemed like a good friend. I don’t know him like you do but dang it sucks to loose a friend. I almost lost a friend last year to suicide and can’t imagine what your going through everyday . One of my best friends but all we can do is move forward and keep living our lives. Don’t give up and keep traveling, keep dreaming, keep fighting for what you want to do because you have so much more to live for. You’re an amazing person and makes me smile everyday. You got this man and you’ll make it through, I’m positive. R.I.P Luke
This story was… just… so packed… the places you have explored, the people you have met, and the people who have been in your life… treasure every day because each day is a blessing. I can’t stress enough how important it is to express your real feelings with real people to hear them. No matter how old you are, you can express your real feelings. Like if I were to be an eight year old, for example, I could cry about something that someone might think is silly for me to worry about as if it being an end of a era or something like that. If you express them to real people, they will support you, they will support you no matter what. In Twenty Twenty, my Grandpa passed. It seems so crazy that, that was four years ago… coming from the heart of a fellow viewer, who is open to talking about feelings. Bless you. ❤
Man, I'm so sorry. When I was 22, I lost yy first fiancé and 6 months later lost my best friend...and a few years later lost my dad who was my best friend and so my only living grandparent, my pop-pop. It gets better. It still hurts..grief comes like waves..but time does help. Live life to the fullest. 💓💗❤️ ps: I've always wanted to come to the Phillipines!
Your videos are always so real and provides me solace. Huge respect to see you fighting through everything that you have faced in life and still managing to put a smile on your face. It takes a lot of courage to face one's struggles positively, let alone share it for a million to see. I am sure I speak for many when I say we are proud of you. I hope you continue to thrive and live a life so unforgettable.
I feel you man, this touched my heart. I lost my friend to cancer as well, he was a wonderful person who was so full of hope and inspiration. When people are hit with the worst troubles, they learn what the best things in life are, and cherish what they have. I spent as much time as I could with him, even if it was really hard sometimes because my heart would ache. You are a trooper, someone with a good heart who never left their best friend. I’m sure he felt so happy to have you by his side through everything. Bless you, and your recovery.
wow man. Im so touched by your content. what you have created is beautiful and im excited that I found you as a creator. please continue to do great things. im currently going through some stuff that is making me appreciate pursuing what i want to do in life, growing up is hard but it makes you appreciate everything. So sorry for your loss. keep pushing through everything
The fact that u are able to talk about what's happened to you theses past couple years rlly shows something, because most ppl can't ur story is really motivating to a ton of ppl and I want to say thank you for staying strong
The pain he goes through must be so hard, good on him for keep fighting ❤
I'm sorry for your lost. I hope you feel better ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fuck me man, I’m sorry dude, can’t imagine the stress and pain, you have been through a ton, but don’t let everything go, he loved you, we love you, every single one of us including Luke are proud of you, it’s going to be tough, but you will get through it, don’t hate yourself for anything, life happens and staying hooked on one shitty thing for too long will demolish you, please cut yourself some slack and just know that we are here to support you, take as much time as you need thank you for everything!
This guy has STRUGGLED through these past years. I couldn’t have even fathomed this much emotion.
Please don’t go anywhere tho. We want you here and healthy. Rest In Peace Luke 🙏
You’ve been through a lot and I’m glad I got to see your story. It’s inspired me to keep moving forward no matter what tries to stop me. Thank you and may your friend Luke rest in peace
Dear Phillip: thank you. I don't usually comment like this, but I feel I have to make an exception here.
I struggle to empathise and connect with people, but your videos are one of the few that I feel like I can truly relate to and get invested in. I haven't been watching you for long, but as a filipino-american who grew up disconnected from their filipino roots and feared that I might be judged harshly and ostracized for it if I ever got to fulfill my dream of visiting the Phillipines, your videos have brought me a lot of comfort and confidence. Your honesty and realism also helped me face some of my own personal issues in a way that nothing else really has, and you have the honor of being one of the few people to touch me enough to make me cry.
As such, I'm really sorry you had to go through all this; it doesn't feel fair at all. I can't even imagine how you must feel, but I'm glad you're doing better---even if better isn't "back to normal", given grief takes so, so much time to heal. I know I'm just some stranger on the internet, but I hope this message lets you know that you have lots of people who care about you, and are genuinely so glad you've made it this far and gone on all these journeys. You may feel like a failure or a terrible friend and person, but you're not. Everything that happened wasn't your fault, and you do make a difference. Even if it's to just one other person like me.
So please, stay strong and keep moving forward. Take care of yourself, even if it means we never see you on UA-cam agai. There will be better days ahead, and I hope you reach them soon.
I,m sure he has read this. Your work has not gone unnoticed.
Big props. Big hugs. Couldn't make it past you getting the news. It's been 3 years since I lost my best friend to cancer after a horrendous fight. 3rd strike and she was out.
I'd like to say it gets rasier. It actially does but sometime you're yeeted back to that time when the loss was fresh.
Don't think I'll ever be able to watch the rest of your video.
Keep living for him. It's what I'm doing for Linda.
It was too early😢
Fly High man🕊️
Also respect to u for going through ur friend dying RIP😢
you're making a huge impact in the world with your videos man. appreciate all you've done to help Luke throughout his life and after and everything you've done for others
Man this video hit different... i lost my mother to cancer when i was 8 and i felt what you said there really. She was told by the doctors she had 4 months to live and ended up living 15 while even going on a trip, never making me or the entire family feel low and staying strong throughout. Im sorry for your loss dude tc and rip luke, he's an inspiration too many
Phillip. This is the most beautifully edited and well-constructed documentary that I have seen on the short yet extraordinarily beautiful journey that is life, and the immense value of friendship through it all! Thank you for making content that speaks uniquely and personally to not only myself in experiencing all of life’s joys and sorrows, but also to all of your other viewers in unique and exceedingly touching ways!!
Gotta love this dude for his strength through everything he’s been through, and how sincere he is, stay strong dude.
My heart aches for you, I am so sorry you lost someone so important to you, dealing with grief is one of the hardest things to go through, Just know this video will live on forever and so will the memories you made with Luke!
What a beautiful video! It really hits home for me as my best friend is currently going through an undiagnosed illness. I’m not sure how much longer he has and unfortunately I live in another country. I pray everyday he gets better. Anyways what an amazing friendship you guys have and I know it will never die!
Look don’t cry because it’s over smile because it HAPPENED ✨ Now u gotta live Luke’s legacy! Ur a true friend and a good man!
Thank you for this video. My mom was diagnosed with leukemia in July 2002. I became her primary caregiver, and your friendship to Luke was so inspiring. The words and video tribute that you gave him was great. Continue to live and enjoy life, and do what Luke would have wanted you to do. Thats live life to the Fullest. My mom would pass on February 4th 2003. #CancerSucks #FuckCancer
WOW! I hope you find the strength to keep moving forward, this made me tear up and I thought I had forgotten how to cry
Honestly I'm sure you heard sorry for your loss many times. I really hope that no matter what pain you'll go through it will be alright❤. I know you said you were depressed and I am glad you're doing much better ❤️ I am happy that you met more friends who made you feel yourself and feel like family and feel free. Seeing Luke as your best friend has made me realize how real friendships are. There are times you can't always be with the people you love and a true friend really hides how they feel for a reason. To see you happy ❤. So take your time, Healing doesn't happen over night and you got this. Luke loves you so much and he wants the best for you 💕 Luke is proud to call you his Best Friend. I pray to God that you find your way around your life, you got this !!!
Rest in peace Luke your brother will carry your story for the rest of his life such an inspiration both phillip and luke
Hi, I hope you are taking care of yourself.
I have a good close friend of mine who has been battling Leukemia since a young age. I’ve always struggled with my own personal problems(mental health and such…), so I didn’t have the energy to visit her. However, once I watched your whole story, I realized that being sad and isolating myself will waste precious time away from those who may not even be able to stick around to the very end. Time is precious, and it cannot be replaced. She is also going though a lot…so why not we be there for each other? I am going to visit her very soon, hopefully I can make things right and be a better friend and overall person and cherish the rest of our time together.
Thank you for being so strong, and thank you for humbling me. I hope you know that you were the light in your best friend’s darkest last moments of his life, and he definitely thought of you till the very end. Grief is very messy, so don’t rush yourself. Keep moving forward, but always look back fondly on the past. These memories you shared together have happened, and will always be there. No, we cannot change the past. It’s something we must live with. But we can live in the present, everyday is a new day. Your best friend is with you, that beautiful tattoo is a symbol of your guy’s story. I hope you will be easier to yourself, take care. :)
Sending lots of love to you and your friend.
Stay strong, take some time to get yourself back together and relax u have gone through so much. YOU ARE A LEGEND!
Hey man love your content It kinda made me emotional cause at time I feel very lonely and depressed and have nobody to talk to, sometimes I would just listen to sad music and spend time alone. I am very lost in life ryt now and don’t know what to do. Watching your video made me feel a lot better knowing that there are more people who have go through mental health. Keep up the good work man wishing you a happy life ahead.
I’m feeling really lost too right now. But in my mind I try to reframe that feeling as “finding a new path”. Maybe if it’s something that’s accessible to you, you could look for volunteer opportunities around you. I did that and it helped me socialize a bit more and give me a feeling of purpose. Wishing you the best, I hope you find peace my friend.
I feel your pain man. My three best friends all died in a car accident together and I just lost my lasy best friend three months ago because someone pulled out in front of him well he was riding his motorcycle. The world is so unfair and makes no sense. Im scared to get close to anyone and Become best friends because i feel like they will die also.
hey phillip i found this video and i want to share this with you. I had a bestfriend too he was kind. He taught me many things and we had a good relationship but one day he didnt respond to my messages then his family had informed me. He died of a heart attack. I was Devastated. When he died i realized the things he taught me and i thank him for the good memories i have with him every year. He taught me to cherish the moments we get because it might be our last time seeing the people we love. Thank you for sharing this with us and i know your best friend was a good guy. Im sure he taught u good things and you had good memories and i hope you all go to heaven
Wow... Came here from the Roger clip on Shorts, didn't expect to watch a heartaching video. The story telling was so touching, that I've been tearing up for the past 20 minutes. Luke would've been proud to have seen this masterpiece and see your character development.
RIP, I'm so sorry for your loss, sending support to you and all those who loved him
you just remined me of a life story of a famous actor "Sanjay Dutt". his father also died, and he had a speech prepared for him but couldn't say it to him and he regrated it for not telling him the speech earlier. we have a movie about him named "SANJU" and it went famous.!!!
Rest in piece Luke. This video has inspired me to do so much more with my life. I'm beginning to appreciate the world around me and trying harder in my classes. I come did watching video, I can't even imagine what you must be feeling right now. Stay strong.❤❤❤
I am so unbeleivably sorry for your loss. I feel your pain in so many ways i just recently lost my grandfather and my best friends dad passed away as well. Dont let what happened determine who you are and continue being an amazing content creator. I am so sorry for your loss and i hope that you do well.
I rarely get emotional over anything but this, this got me. I trust that you'll remain strong bro. I don't have a best friend but I can't imagine losing someone that dear in your life🙏
Luke seemed like such an amazing and kind soul. I feel so bad that not a lot of people visited him it makes me so sad
I hope luke is doing good up there
Rest in peace luke ♥️
Someone asked me a few months ago of what my biggest fear is. My reply was said something along the lines of "I'm mostly scared of losing one of the closest people around me.". I had been holding myself back from watching this video, just because of how much I thought it would bring up in me. After meeting you in person and hearing your stories, I could not help but live my life and days more intentionally and really do the things that matter to me, such as keeping up with close friends and not taking things for granted. The amount of things you've gone through are absolutely insane Phillip. I cried so much throughout this video, thinking of how difficult of an experience this must have been. I was able to put my feet into your shoes, because of all of the footage and your incredible storytelling skills. In a way, I too felt like I lost a friend and bawled throughout the whole video, so hard. You're incredibly inspiring and what has left a place in my heart, is how kind, generous, loving and lively you are, regardless of shit you've had to go through. Really grateful to have met you Phil ❤And thank you for telling Luke's story and spreading his message and energy. Through this video you allowed for his soul and spirit to live on forever. Incredible ❤
As I have a close family member die to cancer I can relate to your pain. fly high Luke 🕊
I can’t imagine the pain that you are going through. You are so strong, and I’m sure he would want you to be happy. Congrats on everything you’ve accomplished and you are an amazing person and friend to Luke.
Rest in peace Luke
I’m so sorry for you. Don’t need to worry since he’s in a better place now. R.I.P Luke 😢
I’m so sorry for you ❤
I am so sorry for your loss, losing someone so close to your heart must be absolutely devastating. You're so unbelievably strong for all that's been happening in your life for the past few months, it's honestly incredible. I hope it gets better from here and I hope you'll take time for yourself to heal. A break is always welcome, you can let the world wait for as long as you need.
Sorry for your lost ❤
Im so sorry that you had to go through these. I have lost multiple loved ones to different illnesses and one to a car accident and it just.. sucks.. traumatic and heartbreaking😢
Im however so happy to see in your recent videos that you seem to be doing a lot better mentally then when I started watching you a looong time ago.
That feel espacially great since you’re someone who I, via your content online, have learned to somewhat know and love almost like a younger brother. ❤
Im still hoping that you will reach out one day about going to Sweden and wanting someone to be your guide or someone to chill or party with. 🇸🇪 🇺🇸
I would treat you just like a older sister should and love every second of it! 🎉❤
(Atleast I think Im older then you. My point being that it feels like I know you that well after having watched you forever - pretty much every single video/short/post you put out) 😅😅
Hope you’ll take me up on this and that we’ll meet one day! 😊🎉
No fuckin way you put a sponsor on this video. Absolutely psychotic.
It's a sponsor for therapists so it help people going through this you should stfu before someone makes you
im sorry luke passed
so sorry
I stumbled across this video on my recommended page today. I’ve never seen anything by you before. But I feel like i was supposed to see it right now in my life. Right now I’m at a super low point. I recently got a therapist because I was scared of what I would do when I was alone with myself. Having that reminder to keep pushing means the world. Even if sometimes I don’t want to, I need to do it for those who don’t have the opportunity to ❤️
Can anybody give me a tl;dr?
Holy shit I cried so much. This really makes me appreciate life a little more and I'm glad I've made it this far. Thank you.
My best friend was like a sister to me, and i lost her. It's like feeling a part in you that dies too.
He was loved, and even if you feel like he died, still lives on you now.
Live the double! You have to be even more for both.
Sorry for my english, but i needed to say that you are never alone. And he will always be there.
You're a golden person. Never lose that spirit. You motivate all of us to be ourselves, to go out and try to be better. Thanks Phillip :)
I’m so sorry dude. You’ve been through so much and I really wanna see you have a better life. You deserve better than this.
Hard to hear this, can’t imagine how I’d feel in this scenario. Stay strong bro, hopefully 2024 is a year of joy and recovery for you and Luke’s family ❤
Man I can’t even find the right words. I just love you af. stay strong and keep living this adventurous journey you have begun.
sorry for your loss your a good guy, may your friend rest easy now
His name's Luke
I just lost my best friend of 20 years to cancer. He lived in Berlin. I'm totally numb and don't even know how to process this. Your video is beautiful and I'm so sorry for your loss
My best friend died about a month ago, 6/4/2024 due to a car accident heading home from school. The first 2 weeks were the hardest. I remember the night I found out, the entire night I spent crying. Pretty much waking up every 3 hours. It was all I could think about. I noticed I started forgetting to eat or go outside which made me realize I wasn’t handling it well so I started making a change. I made a promise to myself that whatever happens, I will find some source of positivity in my life. I found a UA-camr, Dream, that ended up helping me get through it all and take things more easy. In the end of the day, I’m still 13 and I won’t spend this time mopping around forever, wasting my time that isn’t infinite. Things still feel weird adjusting to it all, but nothing lasts forever.
Fly high T 🕊️❤️
I actually started to tear up..He is for sure watching over you🕊️❤️
Sorry for your loss man, fly high and you will see him on the other side. RIP
You have one of the most incredible lives I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us; I’ve never watched another UA-camr so seamlessly, I forget what time it is. You really inspire me to up my game and remember what I’m here for. (As a Filipina-American I’m also sorry your deposit was stolen. The Filipinos can be the kindest, and also, in the hardest positions to do things like this). Cheers to so many greater moments in life.
Thank you for sharing this story. My mom is currently battling terminal breast cancer and my heart is right there with you my friend. Much aroha ❤
Bro i hope you stay happy to see you go through so much is really painfull and sad , i was crying for like the whole video, and i never met Luke every scene of you and luke just made me tear up . I can't imagine what you have gone through losing a brother . I just hope that you make more friends and live a happy life .
