    My home burned down in April this year. Even though I have never watched any of your videos, I know how you feel and what you're going through. It's a difficult and heart-breaking moment when you realise you lost everything you worked for the past few years in just a few hours.
    I'm still bouncing back and trying to recover. I lost my job last week because I didn't have enough money to hire workers so I would spend all my time fixing up my home myself and less time being able to go to work. I know what this situation can do to people, but don't let dark thoughts and depression cloud your judgement and life.
    We all go through difficult times in our life and being in the same position, I can only give you my deepest sympathy and I hope you and your family is well. Please be safe and take care of what's the most important in life. You and your family's wellbeing and safety. You have my utmost respect and I know you will get through this.
    If you ever need to speak to anyone about this, you can always message me. We may be from different parts of the world, but going through the same tragedy I know what it's like to not have anyone to truly speak to.

      I think it's heartbreaking because it's not something you see often. When a woman cries, you probably wouldn't pay too much attention because women are known to be more emotional. When a man cries, it really means something hurt him mentally or physically, and he's in genuine distraught, anger and sadness because it's rare you can break men like that. As a man myself I can agree that if I lost years of hard work, money, time, possessions, among other things, I'd be trying to hold back tears too. It's too much weight on a person's shoulder to bare.

    To all the people laughing at this poor bloke about him "crying over toys", this shit is EXPENSIVE and on top of that takes HOURS of dedication towards assembling and painting to end end up with a decent finished product. ONTOP of that, he obviously has had a house fire which is a traumatic experience regardless of the possessions lost! Have some fucking sympathy for a fellow human being who has lost things he holds dear to him and has invested a lot of time into.

Now is his opportunity to create a life with meaningful values and not one based around material possessions. He is a prisoner to his possessions and look at what that has brought him, sadness and dispair. If his values were based around more meaningful persuits he would be immune to all.

      But once you reached the "normal" state people will stop watching because they're looking for content about making progress. Just like youtubers that film the renovation of a house loose views after the house is built.
      So basically: once you reached the normal state, keep working and expanding. At that point it is a different viewership and if you serve them right you might get more out of it than you might think. The content he did before might get a second channel.

As a fellow creative, I feel that blow all the way from here and while it's easy to say "just be thankful you and your loved ones have your lives, you can always replace the things you had", I know from my own experience how much of my soul has gone into my creations and I hope people let you freely mourn the creations you've lost while still being glad you and yours got out alive. Even with fire and smoke damage and ruin, what's on the shelf in your studio is amazing stuff. Best wishes.

I actually share your sentiment but I didn't think this was either the place or the time to chide other people for wanting to show sympathy but lacking the right words to express themselves, and maybe were honestly ignorant about how losing one's creations in a disaster like this can devastate an artist/creator down to the very core of their soul. Instead, I posted my own comment of sympathy. There are plenty of other places and times for you to take those people to task if that's what you wish to do, or you could kindly show them here by your own example what is the best thing to say in a situation like this.

    I'm sure you are still in a state of shock right now. As that starts to diminish, I want you to know that this community is here for you. I don't know how or in what way the community can or will help, but once a direction is found, it will be there to take it.
    Please keep us updated with the progress by continuing to make videos of your recovery from the fire, even with your just your phone and even videos that aren't about the hobby. You can show UA-cam and the hobby what starting over after a fire looks like. Viewers will watch those videos and new hobbyists will learn from the process. Experienced hobbyist may learn a thing or two as well.
    It may seem like a daunting task, but salvage what you might be able to and inventory the things that you've lost. Things look chaotic and the worst right now, but they will get better, I promise you. Lastly, make sure you are getting enough rest. That was the one thing I struggled with the most after my loss.
