God wants to save you so please don’t hesitate to trust him, if you do he will fight all of your battles with you and he will walk by your side all the days of your life, you will never be alone again even on the hardest days because he will be with you always, so please look for him and follow him while there is still time, it will be hard but it will be worth it, I promise.
      If possible please share with your family, friends, loved ones and others including the people on this video, it might not seem like it but some people feel alone and hopeless, God has a hope and a purpose for everyone, and he can save someone by you just sharing this with them, so please do me and that person a favor and share this with them.

      He said he didn't know what to do, "Let's dissapear everything" he said. He was hurt because the memes put him and his image in a negative light. He's not the best talker out there but this was stated in this video. He later eventually learnt to accept it and he's now taking advantage of the oportunities. He is not exactly chill about it.
