Just came across u channel bud and... I love you my man. It felt like somebody just told me my story with a better ending. I'm 17 rn have some problems back home. Working hard to give my mum and my sis a better life and things that they truely deserve. I have learnt a lot of skill to help myself get a job or some other better opportunity but right now nothing seems to work. Had severe depression before the pandemic started (attempted atleast thrice). Picked myself up and started working again with medication and my bestfriend and my mum on my side. But the pandemic has really taken a toll on me. I have been working really hard with futility, not having any of the desired results, doubting myself and feeling miserable. Having big goals and being motivated initially but loosing track as the failures and challenges start getting on to me. This just made me remember my whole story buddy. Thanks for the hope and being so candid and upfront to show ur failures as well. I hope you get whatever you wish in life. May god bless your mom with the happiest life ever and loveliest memories to you and your girlfriend. With lots of gratitude and love Asmit singh India

Hey, Mike! I know you probably won't see this but I just recently found your channel and just wanted to say I'm a big fan of this one. It's been my dream to get accepted into Medical School and had a very similar experience when I finally got in. I've pretty much pushed everyone (family, friends, and girlfriend) aside even though they were super worried about me. Your videos show a lot of hard work and dedication, but I always enjoyed seeing you leave in the parts that shows how difficult things would get for you. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks for continuously making candid content that I can look forward to.

[@chompybanana]

Hey Mike! I'm a bit late to this video, and I don't know if you'll see this, but I figured I'd say something anyway. It's really inspiring how in recent videos, you've included a bit more of your own reality, your REAL life. Nowadays, influencers make it seem as if their lives are perfect and that they have no struggles. You're the exact opposite of that, and I really appreciate your honesty with us beyond what words can explain. It helps both of us feel just a little bit more human, ya know? The truth is that there are good days AND bad days, and not one step of this journey through life is made easy. I've been watching your videos for just over a year now, and it's really cool to see how you've grown and matured in such a short amount of time. Don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back, alright? You're surrounded by so much love that, sometimes, it can be really easy to overlook it. On behalf of everyone, thank you, the one and only Mike Shake, for being you. :)

[@businessisboomin7252]

Bro, you've taken everything out of my mouth. Thx for writing this comment man.
