Lost my best friend when she was 21. That was nearly 4 years ago - hearing you say you have bad days, days where you struggle to get out of bed, but that you remember good days during your bad, and remember bad days during your good to help you live in the moment and appreciate the good more - hearing you say that, helped me so much more than you know. Really glad I subbed to you, dude.

[@Asfvision]

Loss is such a hard and weird thing to go through. One thing my brother used to say was “JKL” for just keep livin and now I find that to be what gets me through the hardest days. Stand strong. One love always 🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@thethreadgillthr33]

@@Asfvision I love that - Whenever I used to doubt myself, or life, or anything else, Hannah, my best friend who died, would always look at me with the most serious face - she was a big goofball who never took anything too seriously - but in moments where I was down about anything, she would look at me and say, “You’ll be okay, dude. It’ll be okay.” Hearing Hannah say that, has gotten this far, and it’s what will keep me going for the rest of my days. JKL. You’ll be okay. One love, dude. ✌🏻

[@parysunangst]

Can’t wait to cheer you on in the 2024! You two radiate love! I’m a recent following and you are so inspiring! Not because of your disability but because of your amazing view on life!

[@Asfvision]

Anthony I lost my brother in 1997 and I see him in my dreams we are always walking down a dirt road with orange blooms and cherry blossom falling around us in the spring we have beautiful conversation that I can never recall. But I wake up knowing I have been with him feeling him near me. God bless u and Kelly one love🤟🦋

I have a stammer I'm 43 and from the UK. I have really bad days and good days. Watching and hearing you honestly makes me smile. I've had to put myself in hard situations over the years to not be defeated by my speech. You're an inspiration you really are. Also you play guitar and skate, two things i really enjoy. Thanks for making my day that little bit better Anthony. And if you're ever in the UK I'd gladly buy you a drink or jam with you. One love

Anthony I had the honor of sorts meeting you in the skate shop ( 2 months ago)with my son Tanner who is so into skating.He said oh I know who that guy is walking in to shop I was so inspired by you. Your smile never left your face ! Me being a mom I remember when you walked out the door.. I said Is he going to be ok?? Walking out into the dark? Oh yeah I'm sure his wife is out there.No worrying needed with you !! You are amazing. Maybe one day I could have my son skate with you! 🤞 He has health issues and skating keeps him going!! I was happy to come across you on here . What a beautiful couple. How blessed you are. Please keep your videos coming !! Love watching you both 🙏

[@sukmycokyoutoobz]

Dude Anthony! I just wanted to say I too have 20/400 vision as well! i can only see while wearing contacts or glasses but I do not have a degenerative disease thankfully. You're a real inspiration tho my man. I love your videos and you make my fear of possibly losing my vision one day a lot easier to deal with. One love my man!

[@idlehour]

This guy is beautiful inside and out

[@u140550]

Man a lot of you (you, blind surfer, and few others that are blind/dealing with similar things close to me) inspire me, as someone who has a learning nurodivergent. It’s hard to learn sometimes, given that I want to chase my dreams of finishing my degree; and trying for a masters. I love your Edgarness to fight/keep going,

[@MagicManAleister]

I don't say this often, but you are inspiring

[@stevebarnes6779]

Honestly, you're such an amazing guy. The fact that someone like you, with the troubles and issues that influence someone's entire life, can still have fun and enjoy life is massively inspiring. I'm going through some hardships for a while, I've been taken to dark places and thoughts; feeling alone and miserable. But then I found you and you reminded me what hope feels like and now I'm finally getting better. I just wanted to let you know that you're truly a great guy that has the power to inspire and shine happiness into people's minds. One love from Italy❤️ Fuck you, haters! You're all pieces of shit!

[@brazil7083]

This was clean, my boy.

[@chefboyardylan1566]

You're a freaking stud bro!

[@drewk3259]

Bro, that was an awesome q&a! Maybe it's because you're the only content creator I'd like to get to know on a more personal level! But I think they were really good questions and I appreciate you sharing more of your life with us! You're just awesome bro! One love!

[@dasdough]

I lost my bother when I was 18, he died from an accidental overdose when he was 30. I totally sympathise with you.

[@dltbgydftw6841]

You guys are amazing, I have a chronic pain and fatigue spectrum disease and my 10 uear old son is autistic. You inspire me not only as an individual but as a mum too. I lost my dad nearly 2 years ago and the best piece of advice he gave me was don't let the bastards grind you down. When you said the only disability is a bad attitude that resonated within me tenfold. I live in Wales(UK) and feel the love from across the pond. We recently got a puppy and she brings us so much joy, she's kind of like a therapy dog for us. My question is how can the public and society support you and other people within the blind community, accessibility, inclusivity etc? ONE LOVE🤙🏼🤘🏼✌🏽❤
