START BEING HAPPY RIGHT NOW!

[@DaLeadBull]

Shay come here you big lug, give me a hug! This vlog reminded me of the old Shay, no Trixin no work stuff, just Shay living his life, I don't normally like vlogs but I will like this one.

[@givememore4free]

I saw him wearing Trixin in the whole video though.

[@benjamincharlton8106]

+givememore4free because funnily enough you get arrested if you don't wear clothes

[@mayceeleslie4972]

+givememore4free they meant no work just him being free! To do whatever he wants

[@givememore4free]

Ben Charlton Maycee Leslie DaLeadBull Are you able to think for yourself? I don't think so. Shay was not coming up with anything new. He was just talking about something that someone else said. HE WAS WEARING TRIXIN TO SELL IT. He was talking about death over and over and over and over and saying you should live your life now. WOULD YOU KNOW THAT IF HE DID NOT TELL YOU THAT?

[@ELLE-yg6lk]

"Just Shay living his life." That's for dang sure. Loved that Shay so much. Not saying I no longer do, but I know he's busy with tons of stuff. It's like he has no time anymore. We miss these beautiful words of encouragement Shay! Your positivity is endless.

[@TwoBrokenWyngs]

I don't comment very often, but I must say -- the endslate is a perfect example of why the Shaytards vlogs have resonated with SO many people, and continue to do so after all this time. It's because you, Shay, have a pure heart. After 6 years, you continue to put things into a broader perspective and contemplate life on a deeper level. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where we're all from or what we believe because you display a spirit of kindness and compassion that transcends our differences.

[@HusseinRonaldo2090]

+TwoBrokenWyngs My favorite comment of the day!

[@MattPalka]

+TwoBrokenWyngs This comment. As I read, loved it so much. Still love it.

[@MissCrissa]

[@s8hs1130]

+TwoBrokenWyngs Very true!

[@gvmartyniak]

+TwoBrokenWyngs I rarely comment too and this video was really moving!! I couldn't help but look into the feed

[@summerain112]

SHAY! You made me cry! This video was beautiful. I'm really gonna try and be more happy, I've been sort of depressed lately and i cant quite put my finger on why but i do really want to try and be happy. Thank you so much shaytards you really do brighten a persons day!

[@MelanieMayeranderson]

+Summer Rearden Ive been having a lot of stress with starting middle school, that video helped me as well.

[@caitlin_w]

+Summer Rearden If you've been feeling depressed and believe that it may be actual depression please go to a therapist and get help. I love that Shay encourages everyone to choose happiness, but for people with depression that is not always a choice without the help of medical professionals. Try to choose happiness, of course, but make sure that you're doing everything you can to be able to continue doing so. :)

[@unicornlover2247]

Amen

[@givememore4free]

You were DEPRESSED but TALKING ABOUT DEATH makes you HAPPY????

[@Test21Test]

+Summer Rearden Exam same boat my friend.. I've been so depressed lately and I have absolutely no idea why??? Is it because I've been lonely lately?? I just don't understand why I'm so depressed when I'm so blessed with the life I have... So frustrating!!!

[@EmaAtwell]

what a crazy emotional vlog. what an emotional evening. One of the reasons why i just love shay so much, he appreciates these things so much and idk the fact that that guy died on that beautiful beach on that beautiful night its just so weird and so sad but so pretty and shay sees that and it makes him emotional to a point where he starts crying. like i feel that so much. makes me so happy knowing that people like him and his family exist. idk how to express myself. anyway, beautiful vlog.

[@electrikfeeeel]

If you're reading this please keep my grandad in you're prayers. He is very sick and this is the 3rd night since he has been missing with cold rainy weather. I just want him back home. Thanks

I'm 18 on the 15th of September , I have been smoking for 4 years which is very bad ,I'm aware. This vlog is the reason I am quitting cigarettes today, life if too short to be sad and unhealthy!!! I have lived the last 4 years of my life hurting my body and filling it with chemicals and today is the day I quit ! Wish me luck !!!

[@marydavidow2129]

GOOD FOR YOU

You can do it! You'll feel much better once you stop, I'm sure of it! xx

[@terrynlewis1195]

Shay crying made me wanna cry 😭😭 RIP to the guy who died 👼🏼

[@oscarm891]

oh man rwading these comments. makes me wanna facepalm. he wasnt really crying

[@samconroyy]

+oscar martinez Of course he was, why would he fake crying about a man who passed away? That would be disrespectful.

[@oscarm891]

samconroy​ did you not hear him 5sec later. He was like ohhh kay like and subscibe. He was acting

[@samconroyy]

oscar martinez It's called cutting, it was a different clip when he said subscribe and like. If you think he is acting you need help, he isn't like that.

[@oscarm891]

samconroy​. Yes cause we all know that shay wouldn't put on an act for views *sarcasm*

[@cindypickering330]

Shay, you better leave that stuff in!! That was so beautiful--the whole thing--the sunset, the happy family, the looks on the faces of everyone out there that night, Daxton and you in the Pacific, Collette beautiful as a Madonna, and the poor man on the beach, and the cops doing their jobs. Dax on the rings--he's fearless!! You diving into a foot of water!! CRAZY!! But through it all you could see and hear and feel that magic you saw, and if anyone has ever been on the beach in Santa Monica and felt one of those balmy nights when when the air feels like silk on your skin and the sky is puffed with clouds and everything seems totally magical--if you have then it all came back to you when you watched this one Shay--really amazing gift--I feel honored that you chose to share something so special! Thank you so much!

[@Weswife1998]

Very sad that man who died - he was homeless and only 54 years old. I agree with you shay live life to the FULLEST !!!❤️

[@nattalie1061]

is there an article about if? if yes..please post the link tq

[@Weswife1998]

Nat Talie www.smmirror.com/articles/News/Homeless-Man-54-Found-Dead-On-Beach-Near-Shutters-On-The-Beach/44148

[@nattalie1061]

thanks :)

[@0vlogger]

+Weswife1998 What I never understand is how people who are so religious and think that after death you will go to heaven (or planet Kolob, or whatever), and have an awesome time, still cry and are sad when somebody dies. I mean you either don't actually believe he is in a better place or there's something wrong with you for being sad that something good happened to that person. Why don't you celebrate?

[@laurenvanschajik]

+Zero Vlogger I agree with you. Perhaps Shay got emotional thinking that this man who died did not have anyone who cared about him (maybe)

[@williamjohnson7163]

Did you ever find out what happened to the man who died on the beach? The vlog was very moving. I liked the pics of the beach and of Colette and Daxton at the end. Shay, you can really speak from your heart. You are really gifted. Great vlog! Terri Johnson

[@kayjen9194]

+William Johnson It was a homeless man, 54 years old according to a news article. But no cause released.

[@SuperMissblueeyes]

+Jenna Ellis It's so sad that he was homeless. But just imagine being able to enjoy the sun on your face & the waves crashing when you go. People in hospices sometimes choose to visualise that as best they can when the time comes, but don't actually get to be there. Imagine being surrounded by such beauty in your final moments. I just wish the guy had had a happier life.

[@kayjen9194]

+SuperMissblueeyes I wish he did too! :( He truly did live his last moments in a very beautiful place.

[@stephanierenee9145]

+Jenna Ellis Do you happen to know what the article is called? I would like to read it.

[@nerdytshirts8188]

[@JustLikeRAV]

Best Shaytards Vlog ever... It was so hard to keep myself not to comment something about it. Feel so good now, so alive! There are no words to illustrate the amount of gratitude I have for you and your family Shay!

[@givememore4free]

So hearing some guy that you don't know in real life (a stranger really) but just through his vlogs talking about death and him telling you to live your life (like you have been doing from the start) makes you feel better. What were you doing before you watched the vlog? Dying?

[@JustLikeRAV]

givememore4free Yeah mate.... I was died! I was watching it in my coffin !

[@givememore4free]

dead

[@EpicEditsBySaz]

+givememore4free Jeez, lol chill out, let the man express himself...

[@risankati]

[@katiesparr7305]

I had to share this on my Facebook page because it was just too moving. I normally don't share or comment on the vlogs (although I watch every one), but this one just got me. Shay, you and your family are simply amazing, inspiring, and beautiful inside and out. I hope to have such a happy and fulfilling family when the time comes. Thank you for sharing your life, mind, and soul. It has changed mine.

[@SHAYTARDVIDDINGCLIPS]

Oh my god Shay crying broke my heart!

[@oscarm891]

he wasnt really crying. stupid people these days

[@givememore4free]

I think that he was faking it. You did not see him crying. He was just trying to act like he gives a crap.

[@karinacazares19]

+givememore4free why would he fake it? damn people always got something negative to say

[@givememore4free]

whatever because you KNOW everything. And it is not like Shay to stage anything to get a view on KZbin in order to get money. Because Shay only makes videos for you and your entertainment. BTW did you get some Trixin gear for your comment? Go buy some Nature Box with Shay's code so he can get a kickback. Make sure you get a backpack from Maker so he can go on vacation on your dime girl.

[@oscarm891]

givememore4free​ lol^^ truth

[@ilovebilliejoe35]

I wish it was easy as saying "start being happy" it's not easy. Depression just ways you down more than anything. It drains your energy and strength to try. Hating yourself so much just makes you lose any motivation to keep going. I want to be happy like you and your family. But for me it's harder than anything. Thank you though for giving me the little happiness I get from your videos.

Yeah it's easier to be happy when shay is more than financially stable. Has a wife and kids in a house on a large property with his family around him.

[@givememore4free]

Agree. And if that is your body, you look good.

[@TheAngelAmanda]

+Mortar Clark He's been happy since way before they had all the money and the big property. Happiness is a choice has been his motto for much much longer.

[@givememore4free]

TheAngelAmanda He was happy to an extent when he was poor, but he was pumping out vlogs because he likes to eat and feed his family. This is a business to Shay, he gets paid to put out vlogs. He has to be happy. Would you be happy not really working and collecting a big paycheck and not leaving your house and not really working?

[@givememore4free]

TheAngelAmanda BTW the "motto" was not originated by Shay as you might have thought. Happiness is a choice was a best selling book before you were born in 1978.

[@TheAngelAmanda]

givememore4free I didn't say he came up with it. Just that he has been saying it/using it as a motto for many years. And yes I had heard of it before.

[@ElliMasonMusic]

I took a shower and collected my thoughts to try to figure out how to respond to this. I don't know if you'll read it, but I want you to hear this. First and foremost, thank you for being a ray of light always. I definitely watch you for inspiration, and your emphasis on living in the present and pausing and enjoying life is so important. But I want you to know that being authentic is so much more important than being happy. I feel like you put all this pressure on yourself to be happy all the time, even when you're not feeling it. I feel like you mask your stress and anxiety by talking and acting crazy because you're so uncomfortable feeling anything but happiness. Hearing you slap yourself for crying made me so sad. You're allowed to cry and grieve for this man and express gratitude for your life through tears. Just be you, Shay. Your Shaytards family loves you.

[@ZeethK92]

[@iiomqitssjadynn1938]

Me

[@angeloddrev]

+Julia Green It depends where you are energetically, that is all. If you're feeling negative, or some of the lower vibrations, it won't help to hear it and you'll find him irritating. If you're higher up on the vibrational scale, you'll find yourself enjoying it and nodding. If it's depressing, listen to as jolly music as u can stand, and raise it up and up until you want to dance. Then watch this again, and it will wash over you in an uplifting way. Most people don't know they are in control of their emotion and feelings .. it's a powerful place to be when u take the reins of your mood and stop assigning it to others, then u can be creative in uplifting yourself, and you'll draw more positivity to you as a bonus !

I learned the hard way how short life is when my husband died 18 months ago. I was so grateful that we had said we loved each other and told our children we loved them as well. Coincidentally, our last trip together was to the Visitors' Center of the Mesa, Arizona LDS Temple. He hadn't been sick and it was very sudden and unexpected. But the good news is that I know where he is and what he is doing and his tests and trials are over for him in this life. Thanks, Shay and Collette, for everything you do to educate the world about happy families. Families CAN be together forever.

[@facesINpinK]

Its been almost a year since I've been able to watch Shay's vlogs. I'm an undergrad trying to go to law school. I'm almost speechless at the emotion and spirit that Shay is able to broadcast to his viewers. I really missed watching his vlogs. This video reminded me of how fast my life is going by and I pray that our Heavenly Father keeps me grounded in my journey. As I look to past videos I have watched, I just wanted to say to Shay: thank you, for always being authentic. For creating a place where people can come together and be supportive, think positive, and embrace this thing called life. :)

[@lifewithmesarahmarie]

Shay Carl. Stop not crying. If you want to cry, cry. It's what we love about you. Compassion for a lost life is beautiful. And no matter what that mans story was, the loss of his life reminded you to embrace and appreciate yours more. We can all take that lesson here, so for that, Thank you, and thanks to him. Bless his soul, and may life be worth living while we embrace the perfect sunsets of this life. Great Vlog, Shay. Great Vlog.

[@ELLE-yg6lk]

Words can't express how grateful I am to have been watching the Shaytards for all these years. Shay, you've put so many of my days into perspective and I am forever thankful. I swear, your beautiful family can brighten anyone's day! No matter what hardships I'm facing, I can watch a Shaytards vlog and feel so much better. This was a beautiful vlog, and I'm glad you didn't cut any of it out. Life is such a beautiful blessing.

[@AngelLife999]

Shay your sentiment in the endslate was vulnerable, genuine, surprising, and beautiful. Sometime in the middle of the night... they took that man's body away. Beautiful Shay. Thank you for honoring him with your tears.

[@gabrielleolson9241]

I love how the shay can put such a positive outlook on life even in the harder times and like this video when someone dies. Keep doing what your doing Shay, you are my inspiration.

[@KelliUniverse]

This may just be my favorite vlog... not only is it visually beautiful... the symbolism and words just... make you think. Nicely done ShayCarl, nicely done! I needed that!

[@bekahmay9719]

I AGREE SHAY! I was leaving my campus that day and saw this sunset and I just stopped and took in how beautiful life is and. it really made my whole day better and put everything in perspective. God is so amazing thank you for showing that. Thank you

[@madnesscm]

Thank you for this vlog, Shay. That man was born, had a childhood, went through adulthood, had hopes, dreams, fears, and trials... just like the rest of us. The sunset was a perfect setting for such a reflective vlog. I cried with you at the end! I love you guys. Happy to be alive.

[@lisadebonnet]

I haven't had time to watch any youtube videos in a month with exams and going back to class and everything, but i'm back here and bingewatching to catch up with the Shaytards! HOW did i manage to live without seeing their faces everyday! I love you guys

[@Issac117]

Shay, thank you for sharing this wisdom and always being honest about what you're going through. We had my golden retriever of 14 years put to sleep yesterday, she was very old and it was clearly time, but it is still incredibly difficult. Thank you for sharing some of your grieving process back when Malachi passed away, it makes it easier for me to feel ok about these feelings. I hope that we all take every opportunity to appreciate those people, animals, and experiences that make life worth living.

[@TaliaKay]

I was looking at the article someone posted below about the man who passed being homeless. That is heartbreaking. I was just in Santa Monica/Venice a couple of weeks ago and it's so saddening to see such a large homeless population there. Multiple people on the corners of every street. I gave one woman who looked incredibly ill a slice of pizza, thinking perhaps she was simply very hungry and tired. Now that i've watched this video, to think I may have contributed to saving her life has really opened my eyes. As a society we need to help those in need! Life is so precious.

[@ariannathevlogger5178]

I cried during the ends late too shay. You're a great father and a great man. Your family is beyond beautiful and I hope when I grow up I have a family just like yours to share love and happiness.

[@morganashleyy7746]

This video helped me so much and I just realized it. My friend passed away last week due to a car wreck and I felt like you helped me get through it by saying the things on the beach. Thank you!

[@dianeschmidt17]

This is one of my favorite videos of all time. I've been watching since almost the beginning of the daily vlogs and I feel like this one in particular summed up the way I feel about you guys and the way you make me feel. Time and time again Shay talks about how family is the most important thing and to live life to the fullest and to stop waiting around and choose to be happy. When I first clicked on this video I was having a very bad day and I was choosing to be angry over something that was very silly to be angry over. For the video to begin by him telling me that I need to get myself together and stop waiting to be happy, I realized that he was right. Shay, you and your family have changed my life in ways that you will never understand. I am influenced by you every day and I hope that you realize how much of an impact you have on your viewers day in and day out. Thank you for being here to wake us up to the reality that we have more control over our life and our emotion than we think.

[@Christina4tier]

Thank you Shay. I really needed your perspective today. I have been concentrating to mych on what is wrong in my life and not paying enough attention to God's blessings. It is time to live. Now. Today. Yes.

[@snowybowy2]

this was so emotional man the whole scenario just makes you reflect so much...

[@caitlinnavarre696]

I don't think I've ever felt more moved by a shaytards video in a while. I've grown up with this family. I met friends who loved this family just like I did. I really truly have been here since day 1, and this video will be forever my favorite. There's nothing wrong with any other vlog, this one was just... real. I lost a friend very unexpectedly in July and she and I got close quickly. She will always be my fellow shaytards buddy, but so much more. I love this video. I love you guys.

[@AlyssaBanks47]

WOW I WAS NOT EXPECTING TO CRY !!! You're family is so amazing Shay Carl, and I totally get your feels about that day. Your family vlogs make my day

[@xmelissaruthx]

It makes my heart hurt how many people are commenting so much negativity about your positive outlook and expression of it. Thanks for being exactly what I needed, be it a smile or occasional reality check, for the last five years. You've gotten me and no doubt thousands of others through some pretty heavy times. Your legacy and influence will live on to my children someday. It's no sunset, but it's a nice thought. ☺️

Why is it that every time you talk about life and living it to the fullest, I get so emotional?? Shay, you are amazing with your words and ways of speaking. You just make everything that much more positive and bright. Just listening to you talk in this vlog alone has made me so much happier and has made me realise the purpose of life. We just need to be happy! Just live life to the fullest! Just love! and Care! We're all one big family! And only after watching you guys, do I realise that

[@brookehenderson5335]

Wow, that last minute and a half on the end slate... so genuine and real. Shay literally brought tears to my eyes.

[@sarahgill3138]

this video was EXTREMELY inspiring & i think today i will choose to be happy. hearing shay cry really made me realize the power of his words

[@SamNGonzales]

I couldn't agree with you more Shay. I lost one of my best friends and one of your biggest fans this past Tuesday to a flash flood. He was someone who enjoyed everyone and everything. Live his life to its fullest and never stopped. His life was cut so short, but I know, in heaven or where ever his soul decided to take him, he'll continue to seek adventure.

[@megatrev]

Beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing that day with us all. It's amazing the things that pull us back and see the bigger picture of life. So much of the things we think are so important are not and we so quickly lose sight of the true deep important things. Thank you for the perspective today.

[@jazzalessi299]

Today we had to do a Essay on Why should we, as humans, take care of Gods Creation and i just remembered this video so during that five minutes i wstched this exact video and quoted about how How beautiful creation is right now and how lucky we are to be here at this moment right now. Thankyou Shay Carl, Shaytards for opening my eyes and showing me how beautiful this world is and thanks for giving me a A On my Essay with your beautiful words. God bless you

[@carinajensen8794]

you are so right shay my dad past away 4/5 months ago im only 16 it reminded me that you have to apreciate your life even more than you are doing now!

[@ilovebleachhhh]

I'm the same shay. I love watching the sky and sunsets and clouds. It gives me hope and an understanding that the life we live in is so short. We need to make the most of it and love our parents the most! Ah you made me cry! One of my favourite vlogs.

[@lp6326]

I love deep and meaningful conversations about the things that matter most, especially with the wisest person I know. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom Shay, they're most rejuvenating. I will have a good day today xxx

[@TheLizectric]

Leave in the emotions! It's not vulnerability. This vlog felt more human and authentic than ever. Much love from Queens, NY!

[@JoseGomez-wm7br]

This vlog idk what it was but I really enjoyed it. It had me shed a tear mainly when Shay lost it at the end for those few seconds. Man If you guys are reading this May god bless you all and protect you all. Live life to the fullest with no regrets and enjoy it with your love ones.

[@MissPeaG]

This is my favourite vlog for some time. Simple, poetic, relaxed, beautiful & of course moving. I was shocked at the end slate emotion, but I think that's because lately, we've not seen that side of Shay. Years ago, we'd be treated to a few minutes of Shay just chatting away directly to the camera. Sitting in his truck. Walking the dog. Talking about life. Hopes. Dreams. Loves. Deep things that I think got me hooked on the tards. Lovely vlog.

I watched the Shift with Dr. Wayne Dyer the other day and at the end he says some awesome words; the funny thing is, I thought of you Shay because I feel like your service and purpose is to help your fans by teaching them what "family" is and I don't mean for everyone to emulate you, because some of us are always going to have more or less than others. It's the seeds we plant in each other that can sometimes flourish into wonderful things because of the choices we make from the things we see and hear. I thought of you because I feel that you meet a lot of the qualities Dr. Dyer mentions. Some of what Dr. Wayne Dyer said was: The ultimate thing is, why should we have to die in order to get it? We ought to be able to get it while we're here. Nobody needs to ask the question, "what is my purpose?", it will always be found in service. If you can just, for one day, put your attention on making life better for someone else, if you can focus on thinking like that, that's how God thinks. It's an ancient concept, but it's still relevant. To touch someone's life is more valuable than any amount of money. My friend Byron Katy says, "to believe that you need what you don't have is the definition of insanity." That "you can't be fulfilled until you get all these things, that's an illusion." Really, you don't need anything more. It doesn't matter what it is you do, you could be a cab driver, a teacher, a factory worker, a manager. What matters is that you put your attention on "how may I serve?". Think of the people you go to, whoever you are in your path. You can run an entire business this way, not being attached to outcome, putting attention on service. Your life becomes about living those virtues. How can I serve? How can I be gentle? How can I be reverent? (Shay, you've taught a lot of people about being reverent! :) :) :) Thinking like that means your living in meaning. The messages of the morning are about what you can and can't do. About how society defines you. But in the afternoon, after the shift, it's about connecting to an energy that takes care of everything. Try to stop yourself from breathing; from your fingernails growing. Living the virtues is all we need to do. The truth is, I feel something else is in charge of all of us. So it's really about surrendering to it. Surrendering to something that is bigger than you, than you are connected to and that's really in control of everything. There's a place, deep within us that wants to feel fulfilled. It wants to know that "my life has made a difference, that I've left this place, this planet that I've lived on, better than when I arrived. That someone's life has been profoundly touched because of my existence. We all want that. It's not about age, or about finding yourself. Wherever you are, at whatever age, you're only a thought away from changing your life.

[@LivahLuvah]

The fact that you left that last bit in anyway makes that whole vlog even more real. I totally agree with you 100 f-ing word percent on being happy now! Much luv.

[@kristinethier5728]

Poor little Shay I know leaving Collette and little Dax is hard. Venice beach memories. I feel so proud of you to share this with the world. God loves you Shay and Collete. Life changes every second and a new time starts where you express your feelings to the world. 100,000 people watch this and say nice things and negative things. God loves you so much Shay😊.

[@DeeM30]

Beautiful video Shay, even with the sad passing of that man. It really does make you appreciate life and love. Thank you for sharing your words, thoughts, and emotions.

[@HeyShae]

Thank you for keeping all of this footage in. You repeatedly second guessed the footage saying you weren't going to keep it in, but every time you said that it was following such beautiful footage. The crying is what drove your message home for me. I'm in Santa Monica just visiting as well and I saw that you were at the beach on Instagram. I wanted to come find you to say hi, but I'm glad I didn't. Those moments with your family and with that mans spirit deserved to be left uninterrupted. Thank you for even sharing today with us. We appreciate it more than you know :)

[@mollietowers]

The only word I have for this video is wow. I used to think nothing bad would happen to me and my family but a few years ago when I was 14, my cousin passed away. After that I realised how precious life is and how it must be lived to the full. It amazes me how in one second, everything can change. I have thoughts like this every day and constantly have to remind myself of how life is short.

[@jameshorner2045]

That was the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen, and one of the best Shaytards vlogs as well. Shay should cry more often!

[@elizabarlow9818]

I thought that this was so lovely and I am so glad that you did talk about it because the way that you two spoke about something that is thought of as so terrifying was the best way I have ever heard anyone say it because it was the truth. You made it sound peaceful and so dream like, which I guess everyone hopes it will be like when we go on and do the things that each of us believe will happen after our body can't handle the youth that remains in our spirits. It's crazy how the thing that should bring us closer due to the fact that we all experience it in our own ways, yet in reality this seems to break us up because of everyones separate intentions and beliefs on the matter, but ultimately I think it's fear of the unknown, I hope that in the future we can all come together and share such a wonderful thing that we all get to celebrate the life of somebody without being overruled by being scared of death.

[@chwethington]

It's amazing the way life works. I have been behind on the vlogs and I decided to catch up today. Today, a student at my college took his life and watching this was just too crazy.

[@caram1940]

Recently my cousin who was 22 died in a car crash and a teenager who went to my school died in a boat crash. These two things have made me want to enjoy life more and shay has just reinforced my decision to be happy and enjoy life. Thank you Shaytards for always making me smile!

[@sharonshiel]

one of the most memorable Shaytards I'll see. Shay, thank you for leaving in your real, raw emotions...I will revisit this often when I need reminded of the importance of living this one life we have in this one mortal body.

[@Caitlinbezzy]

I love you Shay! You are so raw and so human. Its truly a beautiful thing and I'm glad you left that emotion in the vlog. Bless you!

[@trackgurl123]

This was literally the best vlog of the Shaytards I've seen. So inspirational. So good.

[@ionaaamt8868]

My favourite Shaytards vlog ever was the one where everyone was sat around the table signing calendars and singing Taylor Swift. I think this one has possibly beat it. I'm not religious but wow that got me believing in something. What a beautiful, magical evening. I was almost crying when you were talking about the new day in the end slate. R.I.P sir.

[@ebabaay]

It's weird, I have been feeling pretty emotional lately. I found out last week my aunt who has been struggling trying to battle cancer for the past couple of years is now stopping treatment and the doctor said she has 3 months to live. My whole family is really heartbroken as we are booking our flights to Florida as soon as we can before she starts to lose her memory. & Today I found out my coworker's oldest daughter who's only 13, was just diagnosed with cancer too. Work was really depressing today and its hard to try to be happy when everything around you is making you feel down. Anyway, the weird thing about it is that I am so tired and I debated watching the vlog tonight but I am so glad I did. The realization of death can really make you want to live your life to the fullest! I love you Shay, I pray that your family stays strong and healthy! xo

[@Stray_queen]

I cried from seeing them so happy. Shay and his family make my life so much better, there vlogs brighten my day.

[@Unofkystudent]

I didn't get really emotional until the ending when you did... and I think it's really sweet that you did. I think it was very clear the entire vlog that the individual's death touched something in your heart and that's a pretty special thing when we can give a reminder to another human being to cherish life, even if through death.

[@BeautywithErikaD]

I'm glad you left that in the endslate. you even make my husband cry. it's nice to see real raw emotion and bring us all back down to earth love you shay

[@Theoxymoron86]

dude that was really touching. I really appreciate your view on life. As someone just starting a famy and planning to have a kid in next year our 2 I can see your views. keep up the good work.

[@holdmjtight]

ive been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts for over year because my best friend passed away in a tragic event. she was only 16. this video gave me a new perspective on death and brought me closer to peace with her death. thank you shay ❤️

[@eviejunebug]

I love how he cared so much about a person he didn't even know... It shows that the people in this world are magnificent

[@MeIsClaudiiaa]

Broke my heart when shay starting crying at the end 💔 my heart goes out to that poor man who passed away. RIP. It puts life into perspective and makes you think. Live each day to the fullest as if it was your last ❤️

[@marthabowen4004]

This is one of my favourite vlogs because you're so right about enjoying life right NOW! I'm in a confusing and scary transition stage of my life so can be hard to enjoy each day to the full but I know that it's important to! Beautiful video... x

[@kaylanoel1868]

I'm afraid to comment on this video because I don't want it to get lost in the 4,638 other comments, but I would like you to know that I really enjoyed this video Shay. My dad gets emotional from stuff like this too, and with living away from home now and not seeing him often, this brought back lots of memories of my childhood with him. Thank you for making these video. You have such a busy and involved life now, but the fact that you're still doing these videos, and impacting people like myself, it means more than words can truly describe.

[@gummygirl16]

Some really close family friends of mine all just died because the father of the family shot his wife and 3 kids, one of which was on my soccer team. then the father shot himself. so when shay was talking about people dying all around us i could relate and i started crying. anyone that lives in Minnesota and knows about this can also probably relate! please keep the Short family in your prayers😀😀

[@smokindagreen7]

one of my very fav endings to ur vid shay...real, raw emotion

[@justinreinoso]

Shay has such a heart. I love him he made me cry when he did. What a great man. Bless your heart Shay. 💛 Bless your heart.

[@S_ammixx]

I'm going to be real here and say yes life is so difficult sometimes...I've been through a life of being happy to being depressed bullying really messed me up...but today i completely broke down...I called my boyfriend cause he's the only person I really have at the moment and he gave me some good advice...and then I watched this video and I burst into hysterical crying cause for many years I've thought I didn't deserve to be alive and there's been so many times I've wanted to give up and leave but this video....made me realise that there's a whole world I want to see so many people I want to meet....today I choose to be happy thank you shaytards just thank you all for bringing me up when I've felt my lowest...this world is a beautiful place thank you for helping me realise that

[@DaniAHassertt]

OK Shay, that end where you got emotional made me tear up! You have an amazing spirit. Never let it go and never stop sharing with your world full of family. God bless the mystery man that died on the beach. Hopefully he had a relationship with Jesus.

[@lauraisoobercoollike]

This is the most beautiful vlog ever, I can't thank you enough shay. The very end made me cry, your outlook on life is so amazing and positive and I just want to thank you ❤️

[@abbieshadrack2024]

Hearing shay cry actually hit me and made me emotional 😓😓

[@TheEnergised]
