I shot this. He was as nice a man as you’d expect … I had the opportunity to bump into him in the tunnels and he was open to my reaching out a friendly handshake and a few words … very proud ally.
Oh...thought I read you "bumped into his tunnels" 😈😜😅😅😅
Well done! 👍
So glad he is doing better. What a great young man.
@@RC-mc6pu i wished it happened.
He is one of a kind , special !! ♥️
OMG I'm sitting here in tears, so courageous of him to speak his truth ..love love love David Archuleta
Me too love David so much. I went to the Mormon church as well and felt exactly like him back then. It so much better when you can let it out and be proud of yourself
Yep. Hadn't heard anything from him in many years but this alone made him my favorite male singer. Someone with such a positive message.
@@someoneout-there2165
He has a UA-cam channel, try it out. He has some great, fun music.
My favorite, if I could actually choose one, would be The Prayer, a duet with Nathan Pacheco and David Archuleta. 🥰
I already have. I watched him on Idol and he did great but as soon as it was over I basically just forgot about him until I came across this. I am hoping to order a couple hundred dollars of his merch. I will always support what he did here and what he will go on to do. The gay community has really needed someone like him and his music. It's not always about sex and the vast majority of them make it seem like it is. Who doesn't like sex? But we're so much more than that.
I've always been a fan of David Archuleta. I don't think there is a more pure person out there.
A perfect word. Pure. 💙💙
Yeah, he has the most beautiful eyes, you can see how much love and compassion is in them.
I lived that same life for 27 years! Born and raised in a baptist church I thought for sure I was going to hell and prayed everyday for God to change the way I felt. The first couple times I fell in love I was just afraid of the disappointment from family and church family. It all worked out, my family still loves and supports me and I left the Baptist church and found one that supports the community. David Archuleta is nothing but and inspiration to so many LGBTQ youth and I"m sure will save countless lives from suicide.
I found this to be so refreshing. A gay man that wants to help others and who refused to let anyone take God from him. And finally a gay music artist that sings deep songs like this. Perfect 💕✌️
And that is what I call character development. Absolutely moving to hear him sing this song after going through so much pain and self discovery. I love to see him living true to himself ❤️❤️
Lmao. Character development. Give me a break.
well. God's own character development is studying, applying, and practicing Him, doing His commandments, following His instructions, and obeying His laws. according to His design for family development. character development? perhaps. but David's not developing a Godly character.
You need to be true to God. Not yourself.
Why would someone go out of their way to post something negative on here knowing he most likely will never see it? Fearer of God, aren't there better things you could be doing? Like volunteering at a homeless shelter or actually taking the time to listen to others, even when you disagree..
I'm 58. Out, alone and miserable. Gay life is sad for me. I hope David has a happy life.
I really hope you can immerse yourself in groups etc. Hope you are not miserable for long. I wish you all the best and hope something good happens to make you happier
@@paulmason6474 your thoughtful words have already made me feel better. Thank you!
I'm 55 and have been out since 1988. You're never alone because you have yourself. I stuck a memo on my mirror saying "Where there's a mirror, there's love." As a matter of fact, I've used it in my queer fantasy Jode series I'm writing.
Be safe and know you're loved. Just love that person in the mirror more than anything.
@@pjselarom1290 now I'm 60 and content. I love myself. Thanks for the kind words.
My love for david archuleta is getting stronger and stronger everyday love u so much david archuleta been a fan of u since american idol
David, I'm an older gay EX Mormon so I do understand. You are such an incredible person, you are beautiful inside and out so just be proud of yourself and be happy. By the way...LOVE the blond hair.
I had the amazing opportunity to see David perform at YLC five years ago in Ontario, Canada. As one of the nurses there, I realized how many of the dear youth were struggling with mental health challenges. When David came to perform, he said he felt prompted to talk to them about something completely different than he and his manager had scripted. He was blessed by the Spirit to share his struggles and challenges with anxiety (and no wonder, given four years later he courageously shared being gay and LDS). I admired him before, but I admired him even more after that experience and that has continued to this day. What a courageous and beautiful spirit! Now that my own child has come out as transgender and non-binary, I realize even more how in tune with the Spirit that David was that day - he knew what they needed to hear and continue to need to hear. What a great role model! Much love from an LDS Canadian mo of an LGTBQ2 child! XO
I wanna just pick him up and hug him! “Love Always Wins!”
🏳️🌈🥰🏳️🌈
How awful that he had to struggle for so long! I could feel the emotion and pain on his voice! I was always a fan of his and I’m even a bigger fan of his now. Hope he finds happiness and someone amazing to share his life and his love with! Wishing him only the very best!! Bless him for sharing part of his story so publicly. 💗
That’s what organized religion does to us!
@@robertlaw6283 Very true and very sad.
He's the definition of a true follower of God.. simple really but so many can't do it.. just be nice to others, even if you don't understand why they are the way they are.
So so happy for him! He is a beautiful human that deserves all the happiness in this life.
He said tried to get married that’s mean still kind married
Or kind he still engaged to the person
@@emilyyukki6528 I take it English isn't your first language, so I'll break this down. He said he tried to get married meaning he was engaged and broke it off three times. If he got married there'd be a record of it or his church would celebrate it. He's done playing straight for cishet fans.
@@smokerscough2907 I understand what your say I miss conversation that’s all . But he probably still in engaged with person . He did saying happy bisexual now . This all happened last year so . He come out bisexual and getting engaged as well .
@@smokerscough2907 So it was a miscommunication and I know how to speak English by the way but I watch the video several times and basically he said it was a beautiful thing that he got married three times even though he can’t change the way of being bisexual or whatever and now he’s coming to terms of being bisexual and loving himself for who is all of him regardless and he wants everyone to love them so for who they are so I’m guessing that he’s so in love with this person
I really needed to watch this today. You can literally TELL how much David loves God. He didn't choose this path, and now he's choosing to make the most of it and I'm so happy for him!
He’s such a sweet sensitive guy, so glad he has made peace with who he is.
He’s a literal angel 💕
You're right about that. I love his eyes, you can tell he's genuine and that's so rare in our world. Years back I remember hearing about all these young guys from 11 - 17 killing themselves because they were made to feel they couldn't even be close to God. I really wish, they could have heard this, I think it would have helped them so much. But thank God for David. He's nothing less than an angel. Hope he realizes all the lives he has saved. 💕
And that’s your name, how beautiful!
The most beautiful, honest and heart-wrenching coming out I have ever witnessed.
Yeah, it's so beautiful. I actually had a really amazing coming out too. When I was in school we did speeches. When I gave the last one I decided to come out to almost everyone all at once. It was so nerve wracking. I actually got disqualified because I couldn't finish and didn't stay in time constraints. When I looked up, 3/4 of the other students were crying or almost there. I will never forget that the next day we had voted on the speeches and regardless of being disqualified they nominated me as the official winner. One of the most emotional moments of my life, when I was hysterically crying and they all surrounded me with a group hug. That was over 20 years but I remember it like it was yesterday and haven't forgotten any of them. It is scary coming out but it's worth it. 💕
5:29 "It's not a scary thing, it's not a dark, it's not an evil thing. I thought I was going to lose myself if I gave into this temptation, or this evil side of me, and I've realized it is such a beautiful thing, and all of me is worth loving, and all of you is worth loving." This line really hit me. Beautiful.
Not according to God and God has already made it known to me personally that he has no tolerance for this behavior within in his kingdom. Hes always been like that. To God this behavior is not righteousness so he must have a very good reason why he don't want this behavior going on in his house. We have to stay away from this behavior or be kicked out of the kingdom if we don't.. We don't get to make the rules in our Father's house.
@@germanslice ... U B styoopid.
@@germanslice you need to be better informed. It's not this simple. God creates gay people as gay for a reason. Try to be more understanding. You might start by talking directly to gay people and asking questions.
@@danielminutilli5372 Its not meant to be simple. This is a trial like Abraham or Job where you have to learn to step out and walk on the water like Peter in order to keep yourself afloat in the gospel, or down you sink. Its really that simple. You don't focus on your sexuality when you're the one sinking down in the water....So to stay afloat you have to always keep your eye on the Savior Not on your Sexuality for your Sexuality is just going to make you sink if you make that the Central Focus of your faith instead of making Christ the Center of your Faith as we are counseled to keep our eye on Christ not on ourselves otherwise if we don't keep our eye on the Savior then we cannot become converted.. And Conversion is the requirement that the Lord expects of his saints.
This is why he has got a law of Chasity to prevent those interactions until the right time of marriage but he only allows this to happen between a man and woman inside of marriage and won't allow anything outside of this bound. So we have to avoid getting into compromising situations like Potiphar';s wife that are outside of the bounds of his laws. The Lord has always ALWAYS been Strict and Unyielding when it comes to the law of chastity. I know God well.I've had 30 years to walk with Him So the short answer is no, God will not allow same sex behaviors on that Covenant Pathway. You and only you alone have to walk that path with the Savior to you cannot drag the gay lifestyle along with you.
So this then becomes a real test of oné s faith and endurance and trust and testimony and patience in the Lord because you got to make the transition in order to be able to enjoy a realm of peace and rest when you go back through the veil otherwise you won't be at peace when you go through. That's why the Church only supports keeping God's Commandments and not living by the world's standards. As I understand it God will not allow men to sleep with other men or to enter into marriage with them even if they have been obedient to the law of chastity in the Church and desire to marry a same sex partner which God will not allow.. So the hardest part then is avoiding all the temptations and distractions to want to interact romantically while walking along that path. So the answer is no, you cannot serve two masters when serving the Lord . You cannot be both practicing homosexual behavior and also be a member in good standing. The laws of God make that impossible.... But to walk towards Christ during a tough trial like SSA requires a tremendous amount of Faith and Focus. So no its not meant to be easy walking the covenant path. That means in order to walk with Christ you have to get rid of all other distractions.
@@germanslice I feel sadness for you, to believe in your heart that god created us all equally, would rather us dead or unhappy for eternity. I very much believe in god and all his wonderful miracles and love. But, my god would never create a person to condemn them for love…and “behavior”. it’s not a choice, it’s who a person is. When asked, when did you chose to be gay?I said when you chose to be straight. God don’t put evil in the world, he don’t give free will only to condemn someone for who they love. I pray for you, and I hope somehow you find that peace.
Thank you David. Your message of love helps me to love myself just the way I am.
I have had a crush on him ever since I watched that one and only season of American Idol I ever watched. In truth, I can't stand the show, but was the draw for me. He has to be one of the most sincerely honest and truthful individuals I have ever seen. He is like the small, innocent child who has been left alone in a shopping mall filled with busy people too busy with their own whatever to take notice. Of course that is my own imagining, and it isn't who he really is. But deciding to be that open about something so person to so many, can truly make you feel that way, and no matter how old you are when it happens. His willingness to be so honest and open is not only awe-inspiring, it makes me feel inadequate in my own attempts to be the same throughout life. I am so glad for him, but not because he came out, or because he is enroute to accepting it, but because despite whatever difficulties he has suffered and will no doubt suffer in the future, he never seems to lose that capacity to be so open and willingly unguarded.
If only the rest of us could do so as naturally and as freely as he does. Perhaps the world would be a better place.
David, you are so o.k. just as you are. I am a senior Christian and am not gay but I know God loves you just the way you are. May God bless you. ❤️🇨🇦
I’ve always supported this guy from the beginning. I could see who he really was back then and recognized his anxiety because I was him. To see him now is a beautiful thing. He’s beautiful. Had me crying for 8 minutes but I forgive you Archie. Keep shining 💜
Absolutely ditto here. I’ve felt love for him since his run on The Voice. Such a beautiful human inside and out. I hope he finds a wonderful partner.
@@joshhall1967 ditto here
i’ve had a journey pretty much parallel to his and it just feels so freeing to see him accept himself and live happily :) i’m crying in my cubicle right now lmao
Dear David, I wanted you to know what you've done by doing this. I'm a few years older than you and I never really fit in anywhere. I spent most of my life hurting and I ended up with a horrible drinking problem and I spent so many days wishing I'd not wake up. But now these days, most everyday I replay this. NEVER had a song make me want to try so hard to give up my bad habits. I think I speak for many when I say that this song makes me want to be a better and stronger person. THANK YOU DAVID, FOR YOUR BRAVERY TO DO THIS IS EVERYTHING!
What an incredible young man. This young man is so in love with God Almighty,and he shows this each and every day to not only his fellow human beings,but to himself. He is so very gifted and we need to let him know that he is so very,very loved by so many. I have a sense of what he is going though because I want to be faithful to God,but want and need to be happy and love myself. It is difficult at times. But David knows that with God, anything and all is possible. Love God,love others but most importantly, love thyself. Amen. God Bless you brother David.
I am so proud of you David for all your bravery you are a shining example for all of us!! Thank you for saving your own life we need you here. You are strong and courageous. And a shining star. Don’t ever stop loving yourself you are perfect just the way you are.❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💐💐💐💐🌺🌺🌺🌺🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿💐💐💐🌺🌺🌺🌺💐💐
@David Archuleta Thank you so much I will always enjoy your music and your beautiful spirit. And so proud of your strength. You’re strong for so many out there with the same struggles. I have two children out of my nine children who have also struggled with this being a members of the church. I hope someday that the church will be even better than they are now because they still don’t acknowledge that you can actually practice being who you really are. Love you so much prayers and blessings!!❤️❤️❤️🎉
SO happy that you have come to terms with who you are and that you now know that you are Worthy of being Loved!!! I Love you David!!! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️🏳️🌈
So happy and proud that David has finally found the strength and courage to come out to himself and the world. He is so at peace with himself now and his heart and soul are shining brighter than ever! ❤❤
The pain is in your eyes. The battle against your Goliath is really pretty hard. You are really brave David in facing it. Keep on fighting.
The truth will set you free. Live free and joyous David.. ❤️🏳️🌈
Davig, many of us waited patiently for you to come out in your own time and place. We are so glad that you were able to accept and love authentic self as you move forward through the world. Your voice is beautiful and it is a gift that you share with us. Thank you.
We love you, David! We are here to support you.
Lovely comment ! So true
After watching so many interviews of him talking about his depression and low self=esteem, it is such a beautiful thing to see him finally embrace himself! Every part of himself, the way God made him!
God didn't make him gay. Wise up!
God didn't make him Gay and then in the scriptures forbid it.
@David Archuleta God didn't make you gay. Just look at our bodies they are designed heterosexually. People throw common sense go out the door because they're trying to follow their heart. I'm gay and I can tell you now that God didn't design me to be like this. You're looking at a fallen human being and trying to make an assessment based on that.
Big Fan as well. I had a son that no matter where I hid things around the house from him that he wasn’t supposed to have, he always found them. When I told him, “that’s not for you.” He replied, “ then why do you always hide things where I can find them?”
Just some food for thought for later down the road. One day it will make sense in an “aha “ kind of way. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Crying my eyes out! Love you David!
All the best to you David. The song is beautiful.
Thank you David. Love you! You have made a difference in many lives. God Bless.
Coming out is very difficult, but you made it. We need you here on earth with us. You are a very strong man and you are an inspiration to others. ❤
Such amazing person. The struggles we go through, he get up on stage and tellers he story, then end it with a single song that my harm his recover. This great message of hope. Thank You
I've been a big fan of Achuleta since his American Idol days, David Cook won but i thought Achuleta was better! Thanks for coming out, but imagine what happens here in Africa and the Middle East. Pray for LGBTIQ people this side. It took u so long there, here it's a whole lifetime of pain #ProudOfYou
I love you, David. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for your struggle. Thank you for not ruining someone else's life by pretending to be happy straight and married. I too went on a mission hoping something would change. It didn't change. You are a beautiful son of God and He made you (and me) gay.
Wow. This song CARRIED me through my mission.
This is incredible. So happy for him
I'm happy for David. Now it's time for him to live his best life.
Bless you David. You life is now healing. You’re ‘voice’ has been stifled for so long. Now you will heal and heal many others. Bless you man.
Just be you David! There is nothing wrong being part of LGBTQIA++ community. I am so proud of the courage you have shown to us. It happened to me also.
God knew who you were long ago David! He made you as he chose and loves you!!
Much love to David, an angel on earth. Faith traditions need to stop the emotional abuse of LGBTQ children, angels, and beautiful souls - and that goes for the Catholic Church as well. It is unconscionable to inflict this unnecessary pain and suffering.
Decades of hatred by the church and the failure of prayers to lift the burden from me to be answered, ended with me and a rope around my neck at 59 years old. No more. I’m agnostic now. I don’t deserve the hate. Took way too many decades to learn that.
Although a sin. No more a sin then anything other sin. People just need the proper help and love.
@@lukehalsey3182 Of course it is not a sin. Saying so is part of the emotional abuse.
@@lucasflanders8557 pointing out what is a sin and what not a sin is not emotional abuse. If that were true then everytime someone stopped someone from committing suicide then they would be causing abuse. Truth is what matters and if people take offense from the truth then they are ingrained in there sins.
@@lukehalsey3182 Believing something to be so does not make it so. There is nothing sinful or wrong to be who God made you to be. Nor is there anything wrong with who we love. Shooting school children is a sin. Being gay is not. Your God is not my God because I don't believe God is capricious or cruel.
I’ve been in love with David since I first saw him perform on The Voice. I knew he was gay instantly, same as me. It’s taken me just as long to come to terms and I’m still not there. I pray for David. I always want to give him a hug and let him know everything is going to be okay and that God love us all. He made us. We love you David. So proud of you. I hope to find a partner like David and get married.
I saw him first on American Idol, I never thought he was gay, actually I didn't buy his albums because I assumed he'd just be another judgemental christian.. now don't I feel ignorant. But I will be going back and buying all of his music. I will help support him no matter what. ❤️🤗💕🙏😇
@@someoneout-there2165 your gaydar must be broke, I recall telling my friends he must be gay or will come out of the closet before long.. and that was within a couple seconds of seeing him for the first time ever on Idol.
You may be right about that but honestly it just makes me annoyed with Idol if many people knew he was gay and he ended up getting 2nd place. Clay Aiken, Adam Lambert and David Archuleta all placing 2nd and ALL THREE far and above sold more albums than the "winners" In the end though of anyone ever seen on Idol, David is definitely the closest to an Idol. Who knows how many lives he has saved already. 💕😇
Thank you for sharing, David. To all my queer folx out there- you belong, you matter, you are loved. 🏳️🌈🌈🦄
David, you are the best! Beautiful man with a special talent.
You are a beautiful soul, David… thanks for sharing your journey…. And for the amazing song.
My heart is so very, very happy for David Archulett and may the Good Lord bless him each and every breath he takes. Amen! Love ya , David. Be strong,you are truly loved.
I feel like we knew all those years ago, my husband and I, and David was so sweet and kind and beautiful-we just wanted this joy for him. So so happy for him!
So beautiful and raw and moving 🙏🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🥹 Bravo David. Thank you for telling your story to inspire others to celebrate every bit of who they are.
@David Archuleta Those two songs together...just beautifully sang. As always your renditions of these covers to me sound better than the originals. I say that in humility. Can't get enough of the these songs, haha. Listened to it so many times, lost the count. Brother, you are so deep, bless your heart. Stay focus on Him.
I have been with latter day gay people all my adult gay life. I know his story. We want you back in Manila, David. They have brought so much love and joy to my life. KUDOS!!! David
So wonderful to see and hear his story! I realize his dyed his hair but he seems like a new person. So bright and self loving! Good for him.
I met him during auditions on idol and he has always been incredibly sweet and kind
So great to see David! Thank you Dan Reynolds - you are one of the greatest humans on earth. I love both you guys.
I was there, sitting about 25 feet from that stage. I never thought I would say this about a concert in the Vivint Arena (and I had, in fact, been determined never to go to a concert there ever again - after being so disappointed with the sound at a Billy Joel concert in the early 90s . . . obviously Love Loud was the one exception I could make!), but hearing David speak and sing his truth at this event was the most moving and beautiful concert experience I have ever had in my life - and I have attended many incredible concerts. I can’t imagine a more empowering and significant way to touch people’s hearts, than how David used his voice here. What a gift he offered to the audience, and I will be forever grateful that I was invited to this concert - especially to be able to witness this act of courage, compassion, and genuine care for himself - as well as for others. The whole evening was inspiring, but David was most certainly the highlight! I am in awe (but also not surprised) that he could still sing so beautifully and with such strength, after so recently having vocal chord surgery. Thank you, David! 🌈🙏🏼💜🌀✨
@David Archuleta you have been a great Inspiration to so many, myself included. I remember praying so much to not be gay and here I am still that way. I went down a dark path with it all but working to get back to the light more and more each day. Thank you for being you! I hope one day maybe we can meet and just chat.
How can I know you are the real deal and not a scammer like so many online?
Beautiful
Never think of ending your life due to who you are. You will be taking away something very precious. There will never be another one like you. Your story has many more chapters to be written. Do not cut it short. Have courage my friend.
Love always wins. Thank you David to inspire us to be stronger and loved
THIS IS JUST A-MA-ZING! I couldn t be happier for him. His best life is yet to be lived! We love you so much, David!
Still here for you💕 Life is sooo complicated. Still am figuring" Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy". Fallen and Eternal in nature, only way to move forward is to be at peace with oneself, each of us is God's children (no matter what) and as such is loved. Happy for you❤️
So great that you came out! We can only be who We are
I'm so proud of him! 😥 Tell your truth this is beautiful, your loved
Brother David,
God creates you, He loves you and we love you. Best way, its stap judge yourself, live happily and enjoy life. You child of God, we love you.
I think you are a fantastic singer and performer. I remember seeing you perform on American Idol. My wife and I were rooting for you to win it all. May God hold you, keep you, and strengthen you through all this pain. I hear it in your voice and believe you will make this something incredibly good for you and whoever you choose as a partner. This is between you and God only. I am not here to judge but to show love and support towards you. Hang in there because life gets much better and know we support you. I am praying God will keep you safe from harm and that you will be loved on from all and not shown hatred. We are all called to love from God, and that is what I hope you feel more than anything. God Bless you, and may you remain in his presence.
You are the most brave guy !!!! It doesn’t matter what you are….. you are a beautiful PERSON and you have a lovely voice!!!! God bless you, and loves you!
You are so loved David and you are not alone. Take a different kind of bow now David. One to your own true self. God bless you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What an absolutely beautiful young guy David is...such a sensitive,warm heart and a soul that glows with love and goodness.
I’m so sorry he was pushed into self-loathing and nearly to suicide by cruel,misguided religious teachings and badly misinterpreted texts in scripture.
David God made you as you are,a talented,sensitive gay man,with a heavenly singing voice,sensitive soul and the capacity to love the way God MADE you ....
So sorry for the hell you’ve gone through.God loves and cherishes you,ignore the ignorant hateful bigots!
Oh gracious...you’re such a shining soul,and handsome too,wish you were my boyfriend ❤️🌈🙏
Oh Mr. Archuleta... Your story is absolutely heart-wrenching. I have loved you and your music since day one. You bring so much light into this world. Thank you.
HE is a beautiful soul and has a big heart...when you feel low ..just hang on it will past
I love this so much!
What a great guy he is! The song he sings is just so fitting!
My family went to Loveloud 2022. We are ALLIES for the LGBTQ+ community. We have been to all the Lovelouds to date. This one was so powerful, so hard to hear the sad stories and fear, so hard to hear about Mormons who do not love our LGBTQ+ children and friends and community. That is not what we have been taught. David Archuleta's comments to those in attendance were the most powerful. I hope this very handsome, talented young man has many opportunities to talk to church leaders and politicians throughout our country. I hope he will use his platform for his beautiful message. We cried, and we have thought about him a lot, and about all those suffering from the stigmas of a bigoted society. Please know everyone, no matter the bigoted persons in office or in so-called loving churches, no matter the extreme hate this country is exhibiting, YOU are so loved and so respected by many of us, and I wish I could offer my home to all of you. I wish I could do more as an ally. No God would ever exclude you. Don't allow bigoted others erase who you are. You are so beautiful to us, exactly as you are. If there is some way I can offer refuge for any of you, please let me know. I will do all I can to help.
Thanks for the laugh.
I was fully enamored with his voice so many years ago when he was just a boy on American idol. Congratulations on your journey!
I hope he writes songs that reflect this acceptance of himself if he hasn't already.. And just be free to express himself
Bravo!
We love all of you! What a more beautiful and joyful message than the one we were taught to believe and preach. Thank you, so many of us are lifted by your voice through this vulnerable process.
We're so happy you're living in your truth, David! Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you!
He’s been so nice and will always be nice. That’s what matters. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Such a sweet guy! I'm thankful for loving, caring, sweet, compassionate people like David. David, Heavenly Father Loves You So Much! There are over 7.8 billion people in our world and "Only You" have your thumbprint!
Never forget how special you are and how glorious you are. Blessings and Love...🤍
Love Archie. He has always been so real and pure. I can relate to him on so many levels
Once again moved to tears. Press onward it is great to hear joy, relief, be blessed always 🙏.
He’s 30? Where does time go? I loved him then, I love him now, and I am THRILLED that he is still here.
he's 31!
David is such a real, humble, beautiful pure person through and through.., no matter what. We come from the same church and growing up in the church have always been raised to embrace *EVERYONE* no matter what. Proof it has a lot to do with how one was raised, some ppl in the church, actually all churches/religions can be awful, some are wonderful people, it all depends on the person, I’ve seen it firsthand. Anyway, I adore David and it breaks my heart when I think about all he has endured within himself, and I will always adore him! 🙏🏽❤️🔥🔥
Nadie sabe cómo amo a este hombre, es una persona que inspira demasiado. Bienvenido a la comunidad ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Él tiene un alma tan bella ❤ que es imposible odiarlo 😥
Por eso todo el mundo llega a amarlo y la manera tan honesta en la que dice las cosas. 💫
He is so amazing inside and out! You are so precious in God's eyes, and the eyes of many!
I love all of Archie. 💙🏳️🌈✨
