Meanwhile...his lips were CRONCHY and his wig, STIFF! (Philly vlog)

[@erikajohnson2657]

Watching a parent deal with declining health can be so devastating. Feelings of confusion and frustration are absolutely valid. In the quiet moments of your life, please know that you have tons of folks rooting for you and your Mother. There's strength in the vulnerability that you trusted us enough to share, and I don't take that for granted. Cry, vent, scream, and cry some more if needed. Your heart is safe here❤

[@karenmcali]

Amen. 💗

[@Bawdybybee]

Hey Will, I appreciate you confiding in us about your experience with your mother. I can relate to you when it comes to putting your life on hold to take care of a parent or help them out. I’ve had to build up boundaries with my mother so I don’t end up resenting her. This year I finally get to take life into my own hands, I’ll be 26 and starting nursing school this fall. I moved. And making money moves! I’m excited for the future. I pray for Godspeed recovery for your mom, And healing and joy for you. Much love. ❤

[@PMFBeth]

Will: I’m not trying to spend no money fr Will: *Walks out with 7 items* Will is me

[@simplybeeda]

I'm so sorry you had to go through that to see your mum. Sending you a big hug, I hope your mum's situation will get better and she'll get out of that terrible place🤎

[@afroborilafemme]

Yes, Will, LIVE YOUR LIFE! Caring for an aging parent, especially one that’s dealing with mental health issues, is all consuming and you can easily lose yourself in the process of care if you don’t put yourself first. I used to work with family advocacy a LONG time ago in NYC and the bureaucracy of these state run facilities will drive anyone insane. You might want to look into guardianship for your mother in her state. Guardianship of an adult is a long, arduous process so even if it’s not something you are thinking of right now, at least get the info you need so you can be ready. Thank you for always being super real in your vlogs. I feel like we get so many different sides of Will, vlog Will, video Will, live Will… they all give us the different facets of your personality. ❤

[@DeloDiscussions]

This is a comfort channel for me

[@ominouscherub]

I’ve battled mental illness i’ve been inpatient several times it’s stressful on all parties and it feels like you lose your rights as a patient. No one listens to us and then they take out their frustration on the few supportive people in our life. It got to a point I refused visitors so they wouldn’t resent having to visit me

[@zyryiah]

you are so strong will! especially for being able to keep it together while dealing with those guards who were basically playing in your face

[@binabutternborajelly]

hiiiii I’m a Philly native! A lot of young adults that like experiencing like food and community usually end up moving to the Manayunk and East Falls neighborhoods! Manayunk is near Spring Garden (museum district where Philly Museum of Art,Barnes, Rodin is etc) and East Falls is a bit more suburban and peaceful!

[@jaydaalfred8244]

east falls def has some cute apartments with good amenities

[@binabutternborajelly]

@@jaydaalfred8244 they doooo like I wish I can move out there!

[@HomebodyBritt]

*I'm rooting for you, Will!* You exude love and light and the same will be returned to you

[@stephaniejones68]

So grateful for the experiences shared. There’s such a balance of fun, jokes, spur of the moment activities. Yet there’s also a rawness and genuine factor of emotions and well thought out thoughts which makes the channel so relatable.

[@jessicagomez6504]

Awww Will, thank you for trusting us with your vulnerability. You’re safe here. I pray your mom is able to come home and her mental health improves. You deserve to live your life too boo!

[@cantelopejenkins295]

TikTok has ruined my attention span. But your videos are the only ones that I can watch straight through. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing the ups and downs in your life. Sending you positivity and hope your mom is doing well

[@joyous1011]

I love that Will was able to go from Hella stressed and nothing going smoothly for him 😢 to a day of shopping and getting back to the telly to a restaurant right across the street AND the food hittin!!❤❤❤

[@pandezee]

3:45 i feel you!! my aunt got sent to a shady rehabilitation clinic that basically has 0 star reviews and it was a terrible experience for everyone. no one there was any help at all and always acted like they never cared about any of the patients.

[@GloBear801]

Perfect timing, I'm about to cook and eat lunch. Will, you always come through and make my lonely ass life feel less lonely. It's like having a friend on facetime but with random memes and edits sprinkled in lol stay healthy, gang

[@zyryiah]

aww that was so sweet of pantene to treat your mama too

[@JerseyQuinn]

So happy ur in Philly. Congratulations on the move 🎉🎉🎉 hope ur mom is recovering well & is safe. For apts, I'd recommend Fishtown, northern liberties, & Fairmount in Philly ❤❤❤

[@jab0623]

Hey Will, trying to deal with a hospital’s bureaucracy can drive you to hell and back. Then add unhelpful people? The worst! I’m sorry you and your mom are in a difficult situation. I’m hoping for the best for her and for you. Even though you’ve been through it, you handled the situation with grace. Pantene was very generous to look out for your mom. Your mama is lucky to have you in her life. Please take care of yourself. Congratulations on the move! I can’t wait to see where you picked!❤

[@TierraNicoleeee]

Thank you so much for continuing to share your light even during an uncertain and difficult time as this. We truly enjoy and appreciate your content and will listen to you every single time you share with us.

[@jakharimalik]

WILL, you are a staple in the community for the Gworls !! Your love and passion for what you do is transferred & felt, from screen to spirit.✨ thank you for continuously opening up, showing & reminding us that you are human, it’s SOOO Important. Whatever you need from us just let us know.! Sending you So Much Love and Light 🌞🙏🏾🫶🏾

[@lelee4582]

Hi Will, As hard as this is for you Thank You for being a voice for your mom and others. People think these places help people “heal” but they don’t. Most people without the funds to pay for help at a private mental health hospital with the horses and the yoga teachers are regulated to these hell holes. I don’t know your mom’s situation but either way she still has rights as a human being and should be treated as such❤🙏🏾 Hang in there Will.

[@gloa6035]

WILLY IN PHILLY!!!! MANY BLESSINGS IN YOUR NEXT CHAPTER!

[@tierrasardine562]

The patience you had with the guards 😒 surely I would’ve came back with a whole bag IN MY SHIRT 🤦🏽‍♀️stop playing with me lol I’m praying for your strength, for mom to receive the care she needs and everyone to go through the transitions seamlessly ❤

[@godcaresjab]

Hi Will, it is like 3:30 am, and I was just watching your vlog. I pray that all is going well. I really wanted to check on you, sir, cause I couldn't sleep. I haven't heard from you, so I just said a prayer for you, hang in there. Everything will be ok. Peace & blessings to you.

[@mes5027]

We're rooting for you, Will!!! Hope your mum is doing better, and yourself! I rarely comment on KZbin but this really is a comfort channel for me (along with your main channel). Thank you for being you, your wonderful content, and the memes always sprinkled in are hilarious😭

[@zyryiah]

the way you clocked bojangles sent me!

[@NaomiAde94]

Absolutely loved this vlog! Honestly I like vlogs that just are about life, the good and bad. Thank you for being so honest (though you owe us nothing about your personal life). I am wishing you and your mum the best and even more blessings after that.

[@DeLaTr0ll]

I had to leave my old hospital job because of situations like this. I couldn’t spend every lunch break helping patients and their family. A lot of these workers are waiting to hit their 10 years to be vested or the last few years to retire. It’s not right and you don’t want to become to monster in someone’s story. So sorry you had the debacle at that hospital 😢.

[@daphneyrevolus7755]

Hey Will, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this. I’m praying for full recovery for your mom and for y’all both to be placed in a better situation 💗 God bless

[@genesstilllearning1821]

Hope you and your mom are doing better now.❤️

[@megangordon9148]

Thank you so much for sharing your struggles with your mom. My dad is beginning to have mental health issues and we are states away. I never thought I would have to deal with this at 30…as my own family life is just beginning. You are doing amazing.

[@shola7987]

I sympothize with you so much. You arent alone. There are alot of us doing this for our parents. I hope everything gets better for the both of you very soon.

[@sarath7619]

Thank you for being so transparent. I know that couldn’t have been easy. Hoping your mom gets better soon.

[@terib5467]

I feel for you Will. 💔 I'm frustrated with you about the facility and care of your mom. I'm glad she's now doing better, and so are you.

[@olive1234567899]

Thank you for sharing with us what you’re going through with caring for your mom. We love you, please know you have so many people around the world genuinely praying and rooting for you. ❤

[@spl.1524]

We love it. So sorry your mom is going through what is happening to her. I very much appreciate your vunerability. You are amazing, kind, loving and your mom is blessed to have you to help her manuever through life.

[@hlynng]

Will, you just have to know that your desires will be granted. You continue to sow seed in good land and you’ll reap a good harvest. I continue to pray for you.

[@zentatas]

i just found your channel today and my heart goes OUT to you my love. caring for a parent with mental health issues is so hard. i've gone through it with my mom since i was younger and i currently take care of her now as well/she helps me bc of mine too. thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing with us, it was actually so comforting. i send lots of love and strength

[@wayawuffin]

will! i’m exhausted just hearing about it, i cannot imagine how mentally taxing this whole situation is (and has been for years) 😩 i’m so sorry you’ve had to take on so much alone. keep doing things that bring you joy and let you clear your head for a minute!! you will definitely be in my thoughts!!

[@zyryiah]

the way this popped up right when i was just thinking about you 🤭

[@B_ready4671]

Yaaay move to Philly but Maybe not on Temple campus, the Tri-State area is Delaware Philly & Jersey, never drink the Schuylkill puch (Philly faucet water😁), thnk u 4 sharing ur feelings here's a virtual hug💞, all the hair care was cool Pantene for mom too wow, I hope she enjoys it!

[@kingblake2490]

@13:05 - I could just hug you. I know the feeling of dealing with a similar situation. ☀️

[@06van]

I came for the hair years ago but I really like you Will. Thanks for sharing.

[@zarahilluminate]

Needed this today so calming and also thank you for being so vulnerable this is going to help SO many so so so many.

[@checksanto]

Your videos are never boring. We love you Will. I hope that your mom is doing better now.

[@jordanknox8508]

Will I am praying for your family! I’m praying for you 💗💗. I am so sorry you are navigating/ carrying all of this on your own 🥺. I see you. I can’t explain how much I empathize with you.

[@aburks4life]

I want to say that I completely understand what you’re going through with your mom. My mom wasn’t in a facility but she would go into a demented state when her ammonia levels became elevated. She passed in 2017. She and I were really close up until she started to get sick. When she went down I never would’ve thought my big brother wiuld step up but he did in a tremendous way because I couldn’t handle seeing my mom in that state. Anyway Will I’m praying for healing and strength for you and your mother. Keep pushing and living your life. We love you.

[@JaquaylaH]

My heart goes out to you and your family. It’s probably a strange feeling to both open up to strangers and not take comments seriously at the same time. Sharing your story and allowing us who relate or just emphasize with you is more than enough. Thank you.

[@nadine6797]

Welcome back to the East Coast. We missed you. I live in Philly and purchased over 20yrs ago so I have street parking. Well… I opt to pay for a lot a few blocks away. Because I want the bumper paint intact and don’t want to drive around for hours looking for a spot. The gentrifiers can’t parallel park!

[@UsagiMori]

Needed a vlog to chill to on my Saturday while doing chores and so glad you dropped one at the perfect time! Hope all is well in your life and thank you for sharing so much of your life with us!

[@JHanson856]

I love your hour videos they are not boring. Its nice to see you visiting so many places. I pray your mom gets better and eveything works out for her/you financially.

[@joyous1011]

Omg Philly!!!! Congratulations 🎊 I feel like I've been waiting weeks to know where(eventhough I knew it was Eastcoast lol).

[@breebri94]

Miss you Will. Hope you are taking care and doing well king!💕

[@ierrasay4210]

DO NOT live on Temple's campus. Too much riff raff (drunk/ noisy students). I think you'd enjoy Fishtown the most, maybe Northern Liberties as well. Fishtown is where all the yuppies live. I personally don't like South Philly as much because I feel like there's less to do but it feels very residential and neighborhood-y. I've always loved Old City, its in the more historical part of the city and is lively and the buildings have character. I think Brewerytown is a bit more disconnected from the city but more and more people are moving there, so it might be cheaper. So excited to hear you might be moving here! Hopefully, I'll pass you on the street one day and say hi!

[@zyryiah]

when you said “youtube?!” before the realization set in 😭🤣

[@yagirldom249]

Thank you for sharing with us & confiding in us. Your transparency and the way you handle all that you carry is admirable. So thankful for the space you’ve created here with this channel, it’s such a comfort and even an outlet for me and I can see it’s the same for you as well. I love you, Will! Happy to follow you on your journey, no matter what it is you’re doing (& not follow you in real life) 🩷

[@whizzle_kake8055]

Thank you for sharing Will…its gonna be ok, we’re here for you if you need anything.

[@milayd3291]

I never really EVER comment, I just usually be here to vibe BUT I love you real bad!!! The BESTT way 😭. To know we're both from South Jersey AND that we share so many similarities AND we've had the same experiences of Philly and South Carolina/Southern culture and 💀 (THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE WAWA) ...makes me feel kin so to you! Had me GAGGED tbh.. ALWAYS will be watching❤❤❤

[@milayd3291]

AND THE TRI STATE AREA IS NOT THE DMV 😭😂❤

This was a really good vlog💛. I watched from Beginning it to end. Plus, I'm from Philly too!💛

[@joyous1011]

6:40 Will I empathize soooo much with your frustration dealing with the hospitals and the system!!! As a previous caregiver I GET IT!!! Hugs friend❤❤❤❤ Thankyou for sharing ❤ I hope it gives you some sort of release venting to us❤😊

[@jenificentx]

William onna Whimsical, I love you so much and this was so fun. Praying your mom has a speedy recovery 🤗

[@AshleyashAshey]

Hi, Will just want you to know that all of us have your back and want to support you in whatever way you see fit. As the fellow “strong friend “I know it isn’t easy to ask for help but it’s necessary. We can’t do this alone. In a perfect world, your mother would have a spouse who would take this on instead of you. Also, in a perfect world she wouldn’t have mental health troubles. Lean into your community!!! We want what’s best for you heaux

[@chantemcnish92]

Omg this tugged at my heart strings. Hate that we ever have to make these tough decisions because our parents are not able to carry the heavy load they have. You really want to help but it lowkey takes a village, not just one. You are in my prayers and the minute you ask the community (your loyal followers) for help I’m definitely giving! 🙏🏾

[@peachesapples9603]

Hey Will ! Stay strong & I pray Mom feels better !! ❤❤❤

[@Longlegs83]

Thank you for opening up, I really appreciate you sharing your experiences and emotions! ❤

[@jay.p3g]

We are rooting for you and your mom. You both are resilient in going through all that you’ve gone through. While I can’t relate to this, this video was very insightful and I thank you for sharing this experience! You rock 🎉

[@TheGracefulGlowup]

Sending you and your mom so much love and prayers. Man that sounds so rough. 🙏🏾🤎

[@stephaniemiw]

What a great way to start a morning! 💕💐

[@carmenshirley4886]

I sooo feel your frustration! Stay strong my brother! I will continue to pray for you and your mother. 🙏🏾

[@tamcole276]

I appreciate your transparency with what's going on with your mom's treatment as well as how you feel. These institutions as you described are not in the business of true care. And that's really sad and isolating for patients and their loved ones. So even though I had a good cry I really enjoyed the vlog. We enjoy seeing you happy especially when simultaneously dealing with hard stuff. Also welcome back to the east coast!!! (or at least when you move in)

[@Loko_Dolo]

The vibes are indeed lit over here! 😂 Once again I appreciate your vulnerability. I admire your strength and your resilience. 🫂 I hope that your supporters provide as much joy, entertainment, and excitement to you as you do to us. As I get older I’m fighting to break out of my isolation shell and interact with family and friends more cause “what if this is the last time” always crosses my mind. I LOVE an Italian sub/hoagie! With the same ingredients. I SCREAMED when you said banana peppers. I was in the bathroom thinking when I get back to the room I gotta comment add peppers for a lil razzle dazzle! Twinsies! Love you Will!! You’re my hero

[@DarrellSayWhat]

You’re amazing Will, that’s all! Thanks for sharing your world and content 💚

[@jakharimalik]

BYEEE PUMPKIN .. omgg W I L L I M SCREAMING 😮‍💨🤣🤣🤣 thank you for putting a smile on my face

[@trendy4tmrw]

Sooo trippy to see you in my city!! You’re cracking me up on the steps 😂😂

[@karenmcali]

Will, Love to You! I appreciate you. I honor your tears. The fears, frustrations, exhaustion and heart break in those moments are Real Real. I know what it is like to just want even a tiny glimmer of humanity (or at least logic) in a hospital/care facility where the most humanity should be expressed because the most vulnerable are there for help/care and as family members of those in the hospital we are already dealing with SO much. I feel you. I keep sending light and love and prayers for all the right people and support to show up for your mom and you! 💕🤗

[@olive1234567899]

Please everyone TURN OFF YOUR AD BLOCKERS FOR THE CHANNEL and LIKE ALL WILLS VIDEOS. You can choose specific channels to opt out of ad blocking now so yall lets do what we can to support Will

[@trendy4tmrw]

[@legsnhipsnbawdy]

I'm still new to Philly, but I really liked when I toured Northern liberties and spring gardens. Hope you're back in the city soon!

[@tunnechekahooks855]

Thank you for sharing your perspective and experiences navigating mental health hospitals. Hearing your story, reminds me why I hesitate to refer my clients to be admitted for inpatient care. It’s unfortunate that a lot of mental health hospitals literally just higher whoever. So sorry your mom has to be in a place like that.

[@ZaranBladley]

In the throes of newborn life and this video had me laughing (after your share ❤). Love your personality

My gosh! Will, just listening to this filled me with a heaviness. I can only imagine how you must have felt in the moment and throughout your entire life. I share some of that heaviness with you. I’m so sorry you went through that. You are not lifting this alone. 💜💜💜💜

I hope to run into you in Philly one day as I'm there for work and every year for The Roots Picnic. Also wishing you safe travels and a smooth move to Philly! 💛💛💛💛

[@temenuphebe5973]

Thank you for talking about your struggles, you don’t have to. I also deal with a parent dealing with mental issues and I feel like my heart breaks so much that there’s probably nothing left. I feel seen. I pray for recovery and relief for you and your mom.

[@samECouture]

Sending so much love to you will. It’s very difficult having a parent that’s battling mental illness. I been thru it. It’s a very tough battle. I applaud your strength and vulnerability sharing your journey with us. May things getting better your mom. 💜✨

Thank you for sharing Will. Hope you and your mom get through this with love and grace. I know how much love y'all have for each other.
