I can understand why tbh. if I went through all of that but manage to survive I would just be grateful I'm alive, it'd really put into perspective how valuable every second is and how lucky I am. I imagine it's like getting another run at life, not something many people experience
I can imagine that being given the perspective of potentially dying very soon gives you a whole new outlook on the value of even a single day of being alive. He doesn’t want to waste a single second and is grateful for every one that he has.
for real, one of the most vile diseases known to man had targeted him twice, and he defeated it both times, and even though he didn't come unscathed, he is such a great and positive person, and very inspiring for all of us here
People think that they'll regret not doing all these big amazing things if they get cancer, but in reality it's all the little and mundane things you do with those closest to you that you end up missing.
Yeah. Sure, I'd love to go traveling and visit places but what I really want is to spend time with my dad, steal his coffee when he isn't looking, watch movies with my friends while laying on a couch not paying attention, feed my cat and hear her purr, go walk in the forest, go to the gym and running, lay in the sun eyes closed, feeling the grass under me, read a book, bake a cake and give it to my friends and see them smile. Hug them. I just want to feel alive. When you're dying it's a weird mix of regret for all the things you wish you'd done differently and peace because you know non of that matters now. I feels agonizing and calm. It's such an unique experience that it's hard to describe. All that I want out of life is to be able to live for the little things that don't matter and matter the most.
@@plant_12 oof true. And mosquitoes. Gotta have picnics in fall when it's still warm but there aren't many bugs or early spring when it's just getting warm. I also recommend doing indoor picnics! Sounds stupid but it's actually pretty fun. Lay a blanket in your living room or go all out and built a blanket fort haha. I've also had picnics in my friends balcony, we brought out a mattress and stayed there for hours. It was nice. Sorry for rambling. :)
Your resilience is absolutely beautiful, you lost a leg, had cancer and nearly died... And yet you keep a positive attitude about life and everything. You're such an inspiration
I feel you brother. When I was diagnosed with my brain tumor they said that realistically I wouldn't make it through and if by some miracle I did that I would love with complications for the rest of my life. Well, 5 surgeries later and I'm alive and well. Some things have changed, I have hydrocephalus and went through years of physical, occupation and speech therapy, but I made it through. You never realize how special and great life is until you're about to lose it. Keep up the positivity, keep moving forward and wear your scars with pride
I’ve been binging your videos for the past 30 minutes and this is what made me subscribe. I’ve been fighting cancer since I was 5 (17 now) and although I didn’t loose a leg, I have permanent hearing loss from all that treatment. You’re an inspiration with your positivity, I think I’m gonna stay updated!
My dad made a list when he had stage four melanoma and was granted about 18 months. It had things like “drive the girls home from school” to “travel for vacation, not work” and “see AUC campus finished” He made a miraculous recovery, fought off another bout, then fought off bladder cancer during COVID, still working away on that list.
That is amazing. Your story is amazing. My mom had stage 4 lung cancer and she recently passed away. This video inspired me to start on my dream. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing, this was very inspirational. I really needed to hear it today. I hope you have a wonderful day and a fun time finishing your bucket list!
The fact he’s so positive about things that most people see as sad or helpless is just a reminder that you are enough and even if the worlds against you , you must pull through
I don’t think I’ve seen something so sad, inspirational, and amazing AT THE SAME TIME. You are a legend man, and the positive vibe too? You just got it all!
You are something else. I have never seen a single person with the attitude you have. Brother stay strong. You beat it, now you have so much to do! Proud of you bro.
Dang, I needed a reminder to not be afraid of starting the things I love until the right moment, and to start enjoying living now. Thanks man, and your positivity is so uplifting and encouraging.
I love watching you do these simple things that you had thought you would never be able to do again. It reminds me of when I had got type one diabetes and almost died,mainly just because when your in a hospital or about to die you truly remember things that are so simple to others that you could just wish to do again at least one more time. :) 💗 thank you so much for sharing your experiences in such a nice and detailed way I know it helps people and makes people more grateful that they are still able to do things not everyone can do.
I’ve been a pothead for years now 💀 I can’t help but notice all those Bud leaves.. at first I thought it was the tree then I was like nahhh I know I nice leaf when I see it, and those are some nice plants lol
This is so inspirational. You’d usually go onto UA-cam shorts and see all these weird challenges or crappy POVS but this is really just great. Gives a fantastic message about his story but doesn’t make himself the victim in his story, just a guy making plans and actually doing them which is a lot more that most people. Also the something that was very cool was when he did the most simple things like going camping at the beach or a picnic really proving that you don’t need to go out of your way to enjoy life
Boy, you just made me get emotional. I have a chronic degenerative disease, for years i was in only in the hospital and home so i made a bucket list, but wasn't able to do anything because I was too sick for most of that, and on 2020 I was told I probably wasn't gonna make it to the end of the year. One of the things on my list was having a picnic as well, because I had never had one and I love nature. I didn't died back then and i am still sick, but I have done some of the things and some people find it silly because I had things like "go to the planetarium" or "go to the zoo" but i just wanted to experience new thing or things i enjoyed. I still haven't been able to do a bunch because it's too risky or don't have the money but I hope I am able to finish it. Hope your list keeps on growing, and that you have all the time in the world to enjoy every single thing you want to do💓💓💓
He's positive because he almost lost life, he knows how precious every second is. Love you man. Keep being the way you are- inspirational and positive.
You're so cool. I don't know what it is,but you just have that feeling of comfort surrounding you,like when the weather is a perfect temperature outside or when you wake up and feel 100% rested. I don't know who you are,but thank you for posting.
my dad had stage 4 lung cancer when I was 5 and he was 42... it went away and came back over n over for the next 5 years and he finally died while in remission from chemo when I was 10... even tho it's been 20 years since, I'm now 30, I only spent the first 10 living, I became an addict and lost my first child to the state, and the 2nd 10 years I've felt like I've given up on life even with a 1yo now... I just need to get motivated again because I cry constantly from letting life slip without actually doing anything about it... LIVE YA LIFE YALL!
My mom had the same thing. She didn't make it out, but I witnessed what you had to be going through. I'm so happy you were able to get through it, and beat your cancer. You are so fucking strong, and I respect the hell out of you.
You are a sign of perseverance and determination; you are a great person and whatever challenge you face next, I know you’ll at least be positive and optimistic going through it, and that helps me keep my courage through those challenges. Stay safe and stay who you are!
This man is incredibly inspiring and positive. It's amazing, this story is so touching, and I have never heard of someone with a story like this. Thank you for sharing this, I would never be brave enough.
This video made me cry. Knowing you were going to die must’ve been hard and scary especially being stuck in a hospital room 24/7. My mum had a surgery like 2 months ago and it was scary just seeing her in a hospital gown and room so I’d imagine how much more scarier it would’ve been being that person and being stuck in there for more than just an over night stay. Stay healthy !!
You remind me of my grandma she beat cancer the first two times she had stage 4 cancer. The third time she died. It makes me smile seeing people who beat cancer so the things they wanted to do
i wish he made a series about completing his cancer bucket list, I'd watch every video. I just love seeing people go on adventures, it gives me ideas for my own future
I've never felt genuine inspiration or emotion from UA-cam or anything before, but you make me feel inspired to take life and bend it to my will. Keep living man, no cancer or anything will ever take you down.
This guy is so wholesome. I couldn't put this stuff on UA-cam if I was in this guy's shoes. I freaking love this guy, and he should never forget how much we adore him.
i'm getting tested for cancer in a week, and genuinely i think your videos have shown up on my feed at the perfect moment in my life. i have no idea what the future holds for me right now, but seeing your positivity and strength in surviving it has really helped me be less nervous about all of this.
Alex, with your grit you can overcome anything. I ve never done a bucket list....too skint but you ve put things into perspective! I m off to create my own bucket list.... finance allowing! Love from the UK. ❤️
Your positivity is infectious icl

Cancer luckily isn’t

The fact that you had to stay for cancer and survive is just crazy you’re so strong
Had to stay for cancer?
Not that I know for sure, but I'd bet it was actually osteosarcoma with lung metastases.

You lost a leg and are still able to do what many of us cant do and you even beat a stage 4 cancer. Youre an absolute winner man
Thank you for sharing your story with us and remaining positive about everything. You are an inspiration
i had cancer and i just beat it so just knowing that your out here just makes everything just amazing
I can’t believe you’ve been through all of these things and you’re still smiling and remaining positive. You really inspire the fuck out of me.

I had cancer as well, in my liver. Thank god i survived.

I am sobbing 😭 this is the most heartbreaking and heartwarming thing I have even seen on this app
