[@gabriellatafoya5394]

Ellie Sheridan agreed… I still love Dan though. I really do wish that Phil can get more of the spotlight sometimes.

[@noah-nx3ni]

Redbear yeah, he needs to be realised for how much hes helped dan. the fans dont realise how much phil is there for him :(

[@gabriellatafoya5394]

Ellie Sheridan definitely. Dan would probably not be where he is now without Phil's support and presence.

[@wendybijellberg]

i do realize that phil is always there for him and that he's one of the reasons why dan is happier now, that's why i included parts with him in this video. but this is a dan edit so i focused on him more. i'm planning to do a phil edit soon though ;)

Ok so dan has the best friend ever Some how he has changed dans perspective Made him happy Made Him laugh So I just want to take the time to say this; Thank you Phil. If I wasn't for you, Phil, I have no idea where dan or how dan would be right now. Phil is truly underrated Just think Phil made this all possible. Thank you once again Phil you mean the world to me and the phandom and of course you mean the absolute world to Dan ❤️ Edit: I had a couple people say that it was just phil, dan found his own happiness And yes I totally agree, all I'm saying is that Phil plays a very big part in dans life. Dan found happiness, but phil helped him, phil made him MORE happy. Thanks for listening Phandom ❤️

[@darcyisaduck6528]

My name is [Dan] I think you should be thanking the cereal box that phil got

Keep in mind happiness isnt kept by those you have around you. Dan choose to be happier. Dan chose to start seeing life in a more positive manner. Dont just thank phil. Thank dan as hes the one who made the choice

[@wendybijellberg]

I came back to this video after a year.. And since they came out, this just makes me cry my eyes out... Man, everything actually hits different now lmao.

[@finnoula]

This has such a different meaning now. It was incredible how he was able to tell 7 million people he is recovering from clinical depression. He is so lucky to have such amazing friends who supported him through this, and I hope others do too. As someone with depression, that is incredible for him.

[@joediamond596]

Yeah this is so much more powerful now, I saw this before he posted the video and it made me feel proud for him Now I feel even prouder as he was able to talk about it with 7 million people. Also, he said he is no longer taking medication for his depression anymore and he feels more stable (I hope this is still true 2 months on) Aside from the depression, he genuinely seems more confident and open with himself, compared to the last few years (especially 2012) and I’m so proud of him for coming so far, obviously he may still have further to go, but he’s getting there 💙

Sophie see, that'd the thing, I don't think it was just Phil. While I think he played quite a big part in Dan's happiness, I like to think we, as the phandom are helping to make him happy too (but that could just be me )

[@toomanycolors5774]

x.x løvelyx.x yes but... Phil was the one who persuaded Dan to make videos. Phil was the one who was always there for Dan. Phil was the one who encouraged Dan (and all of us) to *Try New Things* Many Phandom members started off by watching Phil. PINOF was on Phil’s channel. Phil was Dans best friend. Phil really did make Dans life happier by helping him and encouraging him to go out and chase his dreams.

[@ana12]

He didn't just made him happier. I'm new to the fandom, but I'm 100% sure he saved him, in every way. You can tell by how they treat each other. Idk if it's romantic or not, and I honestly don't care... But they love each other with everything they have, that's for sure. I wish I had a connection like that with someone

I suck my stomach in. They say 'Oh, you're not fat.' but nobody actually gets it. I'm gonna stop before this gets TOO deep.

Eddie •-• Thing is it doesn’t matter what size you are you’re beautiful either way and I know what you mean with feeling like you’re fat and stuff even though I know I’m in the normal weight spectrum I still dislike my weight and body even though I know I shouldn’t. It’s difficult to love yourself but it’s important and in the end we are our own toughest critics and it’s important to remember that the way we view ourselves is not the way other people view you

To tell them how much they mean to me. To tell them how much I love them and how much I will always love them. Just thinking about them dying makes me cry. They're the best people I know. If everyone was more like Dan and Phil... The world would be a much better place. I love them. So, so much... I hope I get to meet them someday. I hope.

[@ArtemisNoma]

Okay I know mght sound selfish but I actually really envy Dan. I mean i known he grew as a person himself but let's admit it. Phil had a major role in his life. And I envy that so much. I want a friend who will make ME feel better about life, make me smile, make me hopeful about life, make ME HAPPIER. Phil is such an amazing person, and it kinda makes me sad that I will probably never find anyone remotely close to him. I still havent found a person I feel like I can connect to and it feels bad that I might never get a chance to be happier..?

[@kaitlynboler7748]

Akiyama Ukine This is exactly how i feel. all i want in life is to be as happy as them, and one of my biggest fears is that it'll never happen. i constantly think about it and it's really sad sometimes.

[@hazelbrown]

Akiyama Ukine this is how I feel as well. I thought I found a soul mate 3 years ago that was until 2 years ago we had a big argument but about a month later we became friends again... Then a month ago I came out as bisexual (which took alot of courage) only to become heart broken when she didn't accept me for who I am because her and her parents are homophobic. now every day getting up and going to school is so hard for me. I can only dream of having someone like Phil to make school worth going to and life worth living.

[@lisascheerlinck7181]

This is quite similar for me, my friends are great no doubt but I always feel like I can't tell them anything cuz they will reject me. I have one friend who is going through a lot of problems and it sound selfish I know but it means everyone else totally disregards the problems I have.

My mum has anger issues and gets violent with my brother a lot and I'm scared to leave my room sometimes. I never see my dad because he's always travelling. I was diagnosed with depression when I was 12, anxiety when I was 13 and in January of this year I was diagnosed with PTSD and SEME. I struggle with self harm and I'm two weeks clean which doesn't seem much to you but its so much to me, I've been on suicide watch twice. In my videos I act all out going and happy but I wish that was ethereal me. Watching this video made me realise how much Dan (and Phil) has influenced my life. I found KZbin when I was 9 (ik I shouldn't have been on the internet) and Dan was the first youtuber watched. My sister said she could tell that I wasn't "just sad" before my diagnosis with my disorders but she didn't want to self-diagnose me. She told me a few days ago, that when I watched Dan she could tell that I was changing. Dan has changed my life. He's the reason I smile, I laugh and sometimes cry. I've never met dan or phil but one day I really want to just hug them and tell them how they've made me better. I'm so much happier because of them and I can't thank them enough for what they've done for me. It does get better I promise. Thank you for making this.

findmeinparadise thank you

[@lovelywasteland6110]

findmeinparadise It takes a lot to admit these things, I know, because I have some of the same diagnoses and problems. It really hurts sometimes to open up. Thank you for opening up. You are an amazing person and i appreciate your existence.

[@IAndrews03]

Succyeelent Yeemos thank you （＾∇＾）

[@thetributegirl6533]

findmeinparadise just keep flight I know exactly how you feel and your right it does get better. and you know one day you are going to change the world and make it a better place. but you just need to get though this first.🐢

[@nicole-oj3jq]

i really would enjoy if dan and phil did a reaction video to things like this. not the cringy phan shipping edits. but like, the ones that show how the best of friends they are, and ones like this that show dan through the years and how far he’s come. like this to sign the petition haha

[@mothman_bathbomb]

I think it's an amazing idea except I'm pretty sure they'll start crying, which will end up in my crying.

[@user-mk6dr7ti9u]

i always come back to this video, one day i want to watch this knowing ive made myself the happiest ive ever been too

[@wendybijellberg]

you'll get there!💘

[@akshyar599]

I love seeing Dan laugh, gives me so much hope 😭💞

[@kimberlymary5752]

what a glow up

[@user-gp7wc4lw5r]

The fact that in most of the happy clips have Phil, the one he made two books with, went on tour with, suffered through fights and angst with, made a (kind of) movie with. Phil Lester, the one who became his best friend, and helped him through thick and thin. And even though it may not be romantic, but these two love each other and show the true meaning of friendship. These facts, these are the things that make *me* _happier_

[@joshushushuu1736]

Ugh. Life. thanks for making my cry

[@user-gp7wc4lw5r]

jsebecky Oops sorry D:

[@gc0re112]

Ugh. Life. STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP (don't plz I'm crying)

[@how2draw620]

I can relate to Dan so much because I met this girl in 5th grade(I'm in 9th grade now) and she completely changed me. I'm still the same but she made me happier than I've ever been. I love her so much. Every time she gets a boyfriend I get upset because when she does it feels like she erases me from her mind. My parents think I became happier because of this boy, Ethan(me and him had a crush on each other but he moved away in 7th grade) but, no, I became happier because of her. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! I still wear black, gray, and a lot of other dark colours but I still have a side of me that is cheerful and loving not this awkward and sad person. Even though I say I'm ugly she always says I'm beautiful. I think I make her boyfriend jealous sometimes because I sometimes call her babe in front of him. I got bullied a lot when I was younger because i was called fat, ugly, retarded, and people even used gay as an insult but I take gay as a compliment but I still don't know how you could look like a sexuality but okay.

[@rachelwalker3017]

That's so lovely! I'm technically the "Phil" in most people's lives but this girl I met in 6th grade instantly we were best friends I don't know how to explain it we just clicked... She helps me so much with my anxiety and always listens when I tell her about my nightmares. I honestly don't think She'll ever realize how much she has helped me but she truly has made me happier :,)

[@tia5460]

as soon as he started smiling I literally burst into tears, I’m so happy that he’s happy and can finally be himself ☺️❤️

[@aaliyahstark7948]

I feel happierrr, i do... i feel happierrrr because of youuuuuuuu. Phil changed both of our lives itssss truuuuue. I'd probably be dead without the both of youuuu

[@galacticgemma]

I like how he used to say no to things, but now he is more confident and doing whatever he wants. He has his hobbit hair, he's painting his nails. Not matter what he, and Phil do, I will love them and support them. ❤️

[@goaliegeek0119]

GemmaIsTrash same❤️

[@leo-nt2nt]

i'm sobbing i love him sm aaagahahha

[@mnmess]

I'm genuinely so happy for him, like not even as a fan but as a person, I'm so happy he's found his home and is healthier now. I hope he knows how much him getting better means to everyone who appreciates him. Sending you love, Daniel ♥

[@emmahunt1996]

yeah ok thanks sATaN

[@wendybijellberg]

Shutup Emma oh it's a pLeASurE

[@ernalai7055]

I need Dan to react to this .....this is to good 😢

[@wendybijellberg]

omg i can't see him reacting to this hahah

[@shericraulter8290]

That would probably be the cutest thing ever. I think I would cry.

[@arbitrassh]

Erna Lai If that happened I probs would cry

[@imaginefishes]

Erna Lai too good to be good for me

[@maja9004]

COME ON PHANDOM MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!! PIN THIS COMMENT ON TOP. SOMEONE TWEET HIM IDK WE MUST DO SOMETHING AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mollyisnotonfire2868]

THIS HITS DIFFERENT

[@anna-hw8ri]

i've found this many times but i never actually thanked you for this, thank you. :)

[@camkc]

Please don't cry but I'm starting to realize. Dan is not what he used to be. He would be dead. Dead if phil was never in his life. He actually said he was suicidel before he met phil but now he is not. Everyday we should thank dan and phil. And I don't think I should name any reasons because they speak for themselves. Thank you so much to the person who made this. And I just want to say that dan and phil are both happier because of each other, and because of the friendship, phil could have been dead by now two if dan never met him but dan and phils smile makes me smile. I'm so happy I'm able to see these beautiful people called dan and phil and I'm also so happy I'm able to see things like this. The edit is amazing. I hope dan and phil never stop being themselves because now they are who they are. They are happy. They are amazing. They are dan and phil. Thank you for taking the time for reading this, and please always thank dan and phil for what they do. But I will leave this here for now. Have a wonderful day! Good bye

HopeTheKitten I just stopped crafting and now, after reading that, my eyes are leaking fluids again.

[@razzledazzlemunchin5691]

HopeTheKitten he said he was suicidal?

[@Kaelee1340]

HopeTheKitten When and where did he say he was suicidal? I thought it was just a theory...

[@flowergrrlx7418]

Um pls no i thought my tears were drained from me years ago constantly being told i was a sociopath maybe i have a heart maybe not we may never know

[@derekthedimple2986]

Their entire lives depended on a fucking cereal box

[@kattwolfe1662]

I haven't cried this hard in months, and I think it's because I love dan so god damn much and it hurt me more than anything to see him miserable like he was. It brings me so much joy to see how he's grown up to love and cherish himself, and has found happiness in the little things in life. He's my hero, and I will NEVER deny that. I will always stand by him and Phil, and always love them. Thank you Daniel James Howell, For saving me, and for showing me that no matter what, there is someone there for me, even if you don't know that I exist. I love you Dad.

[@leahak2699]

Every so often this video comes up on my homepage to make me smile, cry, and remember why these two random KZbinrs mean so much to me. Been watching them since I was 12, and I’m turning 21 this year, and I can only hope that Dan and Phil recognise just how many lives they’ve changed just by existing as their amazing, authentic selves. As Dan would say, “embrace the void and have the courage to exist.”

[@mimipavey]

After dan's new upload I came back to this, and heck am i crying
