A More Serious Entry

With tears streaming down my face, I sit and watch one of ghero46's recent videos. Ghero46, aka Jared, is one of my more recently discovered youtubers. Usually, his videos are comedic and entertaining, but this video, entitled "B.", is not. This is the type of video that I was talking about in one of my earlier posts, the kind that really makes you think as well as feel a variety of emotions. I would have to say that this is the most moving video on Youtube that I have ever seen, for I have never cried at one of them before, and I seldom cry at movies that you are "supposed" to.
When I clicked on the link to Jared's video from his twitter page a few weeks ago, I had no idea what I would be getting into. I was expecting to see Jared's smiling, happy face, but what I saw was the complete opposite. His eyes were red, like he had been crying (which he had) and the look on his face was that of total devastation and misery. Anyway, I don't want to give you a play-by-play of the video, because you really should go watch it, but I will tell you a little bit about it.
B. is a video about suicide.
Alright that was a little intense, but in short, it is about Jared mourning the loss of his friend who committed suicide a few years ago. Even though the two were not the best of friends, you could tell how much this has effected him. Jared then moves on to talk about how suicide is something that can effect and hurt so many people. He, apparently, had thoughts of suicide on various occasions and almost went through with it twice. That really shocked me. Even though I do not actually know Jared, for I only know Ghero46, I know that if he ever did something like that, and was gone forever, I certainly would have bawled my eyes out and feel things that I have never felt before. Jared wants to be a light in the dark for those people who are thinking or have thought about killing themselves, and make them laugh and smile and hopefully not go through with it or ever even think about it. Like I said, this video really just touched a part of me, moved me, and make me think an incredible amount about everything that I had just taken in.
I really hope this post has encouraged you to go watch Jared's video, as well as his other ones, and hopefully, he can be a light in the dark for you.
