I would love to just simply thank you for making these videos, and for sharing then with all of us. When I come home from a long day, extremely tired and sick of humanity and the world, watching one of your videos reminds me how awesome we humans really are. It helps me believe in a better future, and I only have you to thank for it. So keep uploading, and I will keep watching. You are awesome!
