The most inspiring person

There is someone in our lives, maybe it isn't someone you actually know, maybe it isn't someone even alive, but there is someone that inspires you. Total I was watching CTFXC like I do everyday on YouTube and I saw the most amazing thing happen. Charles Trippy, the creator of CTFXC, has been battling a brain tumor for years now. Just last month he got the okay to be able to drink alcohol, coffee, and got the okay to be able to drive again. Today's vlog was him driving and I was grinning like a mad man. So super happy for him! He has been filming his life DAILY for almost 9 years. He is apart of the band We The Kings. And he is such a super inspiration person. I started really getting into watching YouTube after my best friend passed away and my other best friend moved to the other side of the country. I found Charles during the process of him finding out he had a tumor. My best friend who passed, had a tumor. I instantly felt connected to Charles because he reminded me of my best friend so much, knowing how to keep a smile even when life takes a curve ball, being able to laugh, so so smart and talented. So happy to see him be able to drive, because it is another thing that shows that he is better, that he fought and is able to be a functioning human being. Then the song by We The Kings "Just Keep Breathing" came on and I lost it. I started balling like a baby, I am still crying just thinking about it. If you haven't heard that song and you are going through a rough time, listen to it, and it will help you. I...I am a very happy person right now. I don't personally know Charles. I have never talked to him. But seeing him happy makes me so happy. It is like seeing a big brother being able to keep on moving and keep on breathing no matter what happens. Just keep breathing guys. No matter what is happening.

I think this person is very inspirational indeed. For me I think Dolly Parton is that person for me. She came from a poor family and has made it big at something she enjoys. The way she came to the aid of the people down in Tennessee. who are "her people".

This is about another person who has been dealing with a lot and is finally be able to function normally. Nothing to do with me.

Funnily enough when I started reading your post I thought you were going to talk abut this guy, he also has a brain tumour and he was in the news just the other day when his inspiring video prompted Elton John to call him personally!
Today is my 16th Birthday please help me celebrate by watching and sharing my video to raise awareness. Thank you from Lewis
