[@vxlt_Ghostly]

Almost 60k!, all your videos have helped my mental health a lot and I just wanted to tell you how much you have done for me such as teaching me new things or just a video clip to make me chuckle or laugh that means a lot even though you do not know me at all. This is probually a little weird but here is a little about me⬇️
1. I'm a boy 11 yrs almost 12
2. I have mixed ADHD (meaning I have multiple adhds) other than that no major disorders
3. I'm not in the best spot rn (financial and school wise)
Other than that being a little weird I just wanna say thank you so much for all you have done for me and road to 100k
