[ciel222]

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST XEM

[Vantrilokist]

So if this is your last video.... does that mean you're running? I get the video but I don't understand why this has to be your last video.

[1wootwoot]

[RUSH2DESTINY]

[cutieerica]

I just started viewing your videos. You are one of the few YouTubers I can sit, listen and absorb your messages without turning the video off. I am sad to see you leave, but with speaking skills that you provide, I feel confident I'll see you again! Peace

[Shuffle4dalife]

[beeextremist]

Don't go Xem! I absolutely love your videos. I came across your videos while I was studying abroad. They really inspired me to keep going and driving myself to pursue communications as a career. They have helped me through some difficulties times this year. I pray that God will continue to bless you in your future endeavors whether its film, talk show hosting or producing, stick in there! I can't wait to see you face and name on the big screen one day :) Be forever blessed.

[SolidRockTelevision]

WOW!....like really.

[cookiedimples]

God bless you Xem, felt like I was back in church listening to a Sunday morning sermon............I wish you all the best in your future endeavours and yes I am leaving here inspired. Run or Rise??? very deep!

[djedit]

when is your next video?? U know u cant stop bro! lol U gotta ride it till the wheels fall off!! #letsgooo

[LouisMariano5721]

the true test of a true artist is to be to take criticism good or bad and turn it into something that makes their artistry better.. it shouldn't be something that wounds you, makes you run away and seek refuge. If all the true musical, literary and acting geniuses let negative criticism knock them off track, we wouldn't be left with very many creative entities in this world!

[LouisMariano5721]

@LouisMariano5721  p.s. thanks for not adding me as a friend on Facebook :)

[pappadeaux357]

no other words to say but, "thank you Xem!" :-)

[Brandon1921219]

U have been a true inspiration 2 me with each video tgat u have done. Its very sad that this will be ur last video, but i wish u nothing but the best my friend. I pray that 1 day, that u can make a video updating us on how u r. Stay positive and be blessed Xem

[StupidityRuled]

Truly amazing, this video made me cry, I just can't believe there aren't going to be any more videos :(

[MrAvemaria72]

very good analogy

[worldviewtuber]

You're right it doesn't 'get better' in a hippy dippy insubstantial way - what 'gets better' is your ability to cope and your dawning realisation that '' when a person says that they are 'ok' - that doesn't mean that they haven't any problems - it means that they don't allow those problems to paralyse them''. So yes my wise, playful, intelligent 'lil xemy bear' - IT WILL GET BETTER FOR YOU - AND YOU WILL OVERCOME!! I hope that one day in the foreseeable future - you will return to YouTube. XX

[worldviewtuber]

My dearest Xem - I have always been impressed by your ''out of the mouths of babes'' insights for one who so relatively 'young' - you have an amazing wisdom, intelligence and compassion - which I, as a middle aged black woman from the UK has always been impressed with - DON'T WORRY ABOUT CRITISM!!! The most important things is to have the wisdom and insight to know what is really constructive and what is not - and being able to change and accept when needed. You did good! Stay blessed Xem! XX

[longworf]

xemi bear, you've made me laugh, cry, think, and angry. But most of all you have been a voice of change, that cannot be ignored. Although this may be your final official youtube vlog, I am sure your spirit will not fail in helping those in the LGBT and wider community to realize their inner strength. The fight continues my brother.

[LTCJ2006]

Thank you sooooo much! Now I know what to say in my next prayer. ( I love it when Xem "preaches" )

[behindthesmile84]

XEM,, Thank you for being a platforn for many of us who still dont speak out, Your energy ur strength is amazing and im truely grateful i found you on here cause there is someone else that share the same pains and worries and dreams and goals i share, for that thank you. your a shining star on the days im low ur videos help so much.. this message today spoke many things cause i was a person that always run from things but never again. im fight til there no more fight in me. be blessed homie

[L302009]

Loved watching your vids over the last couple of years...and they have truly inspired me and others. wish this wasnt your last video but i understand. Love you.

[Chutney20]

I ran across your page from THE Skorpion Show and I don't know who you are but what I do know is.....just by the way you talk " YOU WILL BE JUST FINE, In WHATEVER and I mean WHATEVER you do in life!" I see a LIGHT on you and your space is special! :) I am grateful to have ran across this!

[sconex]

Thanks a lot. This video came across successfully. I wish you all the luck in the world....

[brycen10]

can't believe it's been three years... bye Xemmy. Youtube'll miss you!!!

[MadamePaigeTurner]

The devil and his work? What a crock. Some of you people kill me with your substitutes for intelligent analysis. Bye.

[GingerDemarque]

You're a very handsome guy. :-) You talk just like my ex, who's also from Ba-more. LOL.

But you are shrill as hell. I would die if I had to spend 24 hours around you. :-D You remind me of a harpy.

[mybrownskin]

I want to say thank you. Your videos have touched my life in ways you cannot understand. When I watched this today it had me in tears. I ran so many times, I have called into ministry but run because of being a gay male. I ran from God and life when I was diagnosed with HIV. I ran when I lost my job after 11 years. I ran when my car was repossessed. I ran when car jacked and shot twice. I have been running all my life, until today. Thank you for all u have done.

[neosoulover4life]

Good Luck in all you do! I have enjoyed your many videos and will miss your positive energy.Be encouraged!!

[blackswan4332]

Thank you, and may you be blessed in all you do.

[1983creative]

Hey, I never really watched your videos just 1 or 2 here and there, but when I heard you were leaving YouTube and that this, would be your last video I'd thought I'd watch. I must say that I REALLY liked this video, it touched me.

I just wanted to say thank you Xem Van Adams and good luck in what ever you do.

Will you run or will you rise?

I am gonna RISE!!!!!!!!

Thank You man.

[vabrotha1]

Thank you Xem!

[noelelder]

Man my heart dropped when I seen this was your last video. I have been watching for a while and you are an amazing human being, Thank you for your words of wisdom and all that you have shared with us. You will be missed. But I will take everything you have said in this video to heart. Take care. WE LOVE YOU XOXOXO!!!!!!

[mahogonyayisien]

brother you got it. negative critic cannot be allowed to stand. you stand and walk proud and dignified. don't let the devil's work thyamph.

[lifeisthedash]

WE FOUND LOVE...in a hopeless place

[DonnieTroya]

(1) The honest truth, I have no clue why I'm writing this. I was about to click the right corner of my screen and leave because I'm afraid of people taking what I say the wrong way (I could have just left the positive, but I want to be genuine), but I somehow felt compelled to write anyway. I have to acknowledge the fact that your videos and blogs have helped me through the hardest times I've had, and I know for sure I will always be grateful (especially the old me).

[DonnieTroya]

(2) I was watching your video to get the same sense of inspiration I always did when you used to post your videos regularly, but as the years passed, and during your disappearance, I went from being a Christian to an Atheist. I was sitting here trying to suspend my logical side to simply take in the message, and I was successful for the most part. I'm not here to change you, but I wanted to update on my thoughts of you before you left, just if in case you remembered the few conversations

[DonnieTroya]

(3) we had (don't worry, none are negative :) ). Even though I can't say your advice that roots back to supernatural explanations bring the same effect anymore, I know your beliefs come from a genuine place (your father is a minister/preacher isn't he?) and your literary work is absolutely fantastic. You really need to work on Dupont Circle, I'm looking forward to seeing how your project develops

[DonnieTroya]

(4) and this is coming from one writer to another. I hope you become motivated to pursue your dreams, because the last thing I would want you to become is to be another brain dead person that has a life sentence in a horrible job they don't want to be in :P . Anyways, I can't thank you enough for how much you have helped me during my teenage years, because I know for sure some of the things you have said and done will always stay with me. I wish you all the best.

[jaydakis4u2luv]

i would hope u mean, ur final video for the year and not ever....cause what i suppose to come home from work and listen to

[MaSolDa1]

Man...this is just inspirational!

[bigphat200]

This is the XEM i know, Keeping it real.

[hottesthotboi]

Thank you for sharing this Xem... I remember when your first video came out and it's hard to believe this is your last but I know we will all see you again better and stronger than ever. Go do what you have to do my brother. You are definitely too talented to hold yourself back in anyway and I'm glad you've taken the lessons from your past endeavors. Great words of wisdom... you just re-motivated me! Many times we have to get out of our own way to be our best. Much success!!!!!

[KYMA88]

Xem you are on the right path no matter what happens in the future. Keep a peace of mind

[stillgrow]

Thanks for all the great inspiring videos!! hope 2 c your work soon!!

[stillgrow]

I'll miss u Xemmy Bear, I pray this is not the last time you'll do a video. Just know that what really matters is that u r fulfilled at whatever it is u choose 2 do. Take your time with your next project. U r extremely talented, u know that, we know that, & most importantly, the 1 who gave u your gift knows that. So it's about honoring your gift 2 the level u r satisfied with, and as 4 relationships, keep them light 2 make room 4 what means the most 2 u. U r 2 gifted not 2 stay focused.

[theonerd2002]

♫So sad to see you go so soon...♫ Xemerald, I know that this journey may not have been the best, or the easiest, but at the end of the day you can safely say ♫I WAS HERE!♫ I thank you for the moments of inspiration and your sage-like words of wisdom that you have touched me with since I discovered you in early 2009. I will forever appreciate all that you have done to build my self-confidence and propel my journey forward in this life. Godspeed ALWAYS, & know that you are LOVED! U will be missed.

[womancallinmepie]

Love You Zem. You're Going to Be Just Fine. Thanks For Everything.

[THAPLEASER386]

I FELT LIKE HE WAS TALKIN BOUT ME. I CAN RELATE AND AGREE WITH YOU 100% XEM

[queenofweaves916]

What a beautiful message!

[ebonyd4ever]

^hugs^ God bless, Xem! i pray that you are able to bring your focus back to yourself and I pray that you will be blessed immeasurably in this transition! Youtube will miss you.

[28hotboi]

no xem please don't leave it won't be the same without you because the things and issues you talk about are very helpful and encouraging to everyone including me.

[tycola108]

Be strong, and stay focus my brother, everything happens for a reason, there are no mistakes just lessons... where ever you land make sure its on your feet, thanks for the many video's ...

[dreamboynyc2]

Aww don't go Xem.

[embracingnatural]

ironic that he is asking about rising or running, yet he is running away.

[Jazzmen63]

Come Back Me- I'm Bagging you Please-Come Back V? We love you boo! Thankyou for all you have done. Its because of men like yourself that I am able to be confortable with the man I am... You change My world and I hope that you find what ever you seek in yours! Jazzmen63~

[natalie2009a]

i loved your example of the grandparent and the book

[kevseb66]

SPEAK MAN OF GOD!!!!! Any true child of God has been called to a walk of faith. That faith will be tested in many ways often in ways you won't see coming. We want the treasure without enduring "the process" of maturation that will cultivate character. Thank you for reminding us that the process is God's way of making us strong men & women of valor.

[SweetFeet2389]

Thank you Xemmy! I need to keep that prayer close to my heart: I ask God for the strength to lean into the discomfort and to help me trust the process

[CherryBlossom7o7]

AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should seriously consider becoming a pastor you have that special ability in which you teach others but yet don't come off as a know it all. THANK YOU for sharing your life lesson's and knowledge with us. I hope in the future you start making videos again as we need more people like you on here =0) God Bless you, friends and family =0)

[morpheusmann]

Wow that was deep Xem! I wish you good luck in the rest of your journey in like. Fellow DMV man telling you to keep ya head up!

[nutz4beauty]

I have to agree with some of the other comments on this video. I came to your channel because I know that anyone Jahira speaks well of, is worth noting. I have gone back through some of your videos...I've laughed and cried and all I can say is that I wish you the very best in all you venture into and will make it my business to keep up with your changes and watch you take the world by storm. You may be absent from YT, but we have not heard the last of XVA!!! Love you!!!

[rufskinsonmybodi]

Dear Xem, I come to you to say thank you. From the first time I laid eyes on you work you have blessed me and tought me lesson. You have come into my life and when I needed you it was you abd your work that has helped me. I thank god for you snd pray you be blessed , let this not be the end but the start of somethng new.

[myhood08]

[mateo232]

OMG @XemVanAdams... Man you are an inspiration to me & all of my friends (gay & straight). Your words are powerful & inspirational. I have been touched by your words & almost brought to tears. I hope & pray that everything in your life goes well & you will bounce back from this. Hopefully you will come back with another video later on in life. I hope & pray that everything turns out well & hope you have a great life!! Love U Xem!!!!!!!!

[wileyshow]

I am happy that you explain the Duport Circle to us and I hope you have the courage to released full project in the near future but I am going to miss you on youtube but what ever you do you have my support 100%.

[doop1982]

[neverever30]

[cejai]

(part 2) . I already know you have learned from every second. Trust God. Trust yourself. Go forward. I look forward to seeing your work, your talent and your intellect shining in the future. CJ

[cejai]

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thes 5:18. Walk in God's hands my brother. I have watched. I have laughed. I have enjoyed. And now, I cry. May God's peace rest upon you and in His shadows may you find shelter and safety from all that will seek to harm you, even if it rises out of your own despair, disobedience or fear.

[nine110]

stay strong and true in doing what you do. you will be missed, Xem.

[ronaldmatters]

That story about the gun...OMG! So emotional! Very well said!!

[racerxion88]

Goodbye xem van adams I have learned so much from your videos and you have helped me so much through your videos when times have gotten tough. The lord blessed me with seeing your videos...I do know that now and I just want you to know you have people praying for you. May the lord continue to light the path at your feet and be that which you trust in. I hope you continue to rise!!!! Good luck and may the lord always bless you with his favor and grace..goodbye Xem van adams

[dumbridge]

Continue your journey sir, all the best.

[billybadass80]

So long Mr. Van Adams-you started on a poignant note and ended the same way. Even on your worst day you were light years ahead of some of the characters on youtube (both gay and straight). You will be missed.

[scorpionic08]

your honesty and realness is appreciated.......i wish you all the best!

[Popyseed301]

life is lived as the author of your own destiny with god as your publisher, creating a world, one word at a time.

[Popyseed301]

diamonds, beauty and time; time to decide for yourself what you want to be . Writing is a gift that requires all of you it can make you feel things long forgotten, find things you never knew existed and challenge the very fibers of your soul from where you sit at any given moment. Passion like that, that moves you, like it did in this video is proof positive of your affinity for the craft. It is something incalculable, great writers are not made they are born. You are a scribe and your

[Popyseed301]

you are our friend, a mentor and a guide. Your love for yourself has shown me how to love myself, that I could love myself. You live your life by your measures of faith, you are so so brave, and though I don't say it much...to anyone, I truly admire you as a person. You have been a friend to us all, I pray we'll see you again someday brother. The criticism only makes you better if you learn from it, your a better writer know if you use whats been given to you and fashion it into weapons, gold,

[DavieB220]

lord have mercy i almost had a praise break in my bedroom while watching this

[Popyseed301]

This is the most brilliantly profound work you've ever done. Self realization is a rare token afford to man that allows us to re-evaluate our lives, our values and our goals. Don't give up, Though you've given us so much through your unabashed work there is so much more to give. You have been a part of my-lifeline from where there is much darkness. Your part of me, part of us, you vlogers have no idea what an impact you make on the lives of your viewers. You make us laugh, you give us strength

[phatboybright]

Honestly not to ride Ur Dick but this video is the truth. We've all been to the point were we have to own our short comings and build beyond them. Those lessons you spoke about are hard to deal with sometimes.

[danigirl562]

Awww Xemmy I miss u already

[NewOrLeaNzbaby03]

really enjoyed this one! it touched my heart... i felt everything you were saying. Do what's best for you, take care of you... we'll be here whenever you return. Many blessings to you -adp

[yuree222]

LOVE YOU XEM..YOU MEANT A LOT TO ME ...YOUR WORDS AND WISDOM ALWAYS IS WHAT I NEED TO HEAR AND THIS FINAL GIFT SPOKE TO MY HEART AND MY STRUGGLES....GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP FLYING ABOVE LIFES STRUGGLES , THE RACE IS FOR THE WISE NOT THE SWIFT MY BROTHER<3<3<3

[purpleaxxe]

I really appreciate this video. I have been enduring a lot of challenges lately, and I could not articulate exactly how some of these issues arose. But I realized I walked away because things weren't packaged they way I wanted them to be. Mr. VanAdams you are an inspiration. You have touched lives and will continue to do so. Just know I am praying for you, and I hope you do the same for me. You really should look into becoming a motivational speaker. Much love.

[joyllceocoocio]

I really needed ALL of this! Good luck in all your future endeavors Xem you WILL be missed!

[TheMakeupmanic]

This video gave me chills, You are so strong and amazing!

[ignite83]

@XEMVANADAMS I hope that these video's will continue to stay up so that they can help someone else the way they helped me. You will definitely be missed but I know this is NOT the last we will see of you. I wish you much success in your future endeavors. Continue to inspire Xem...........xoxoxoxoxox

[masterdoa]

we all are going to miss you here on YT. Hopefully we will see you on another platform, we need our Xemmy and his life lessons, lol. I personally would like to think you fo everything you have done for me and the community.Your videos have helped and inspired us so much its bringing me to tears. One day I will hopefully meet you and be even more inspired as you are one of our gay fathers in the community. We will miss you and your army will always be behind you to help you conquer the world.

[Johnjon2]

God bless you Xem! I know you'll be successful whichever path you take!....you always have chosen the best music. whats the name of this song?

[Gramatic18]

Dude you were a guide for me through a lot of situations when I was learning to accept myself and I appreciate every piece of knowledge you gave. Will miss seeing your videos and hope you will never stop spreading your wisdom and insight. All the best to you Mr. Van Adams and thank you.

[felix106]

:-(

your a strong man, and u will push through every challenge.... Don't lose your self, god bless you, and we'll see you again someday. whether in video, or in person.. you have made a change in a lot of peoples lives, and you've conquered our hearts with your words.... this is defiantly only the beginning of a long journey... GOD BLESS YOU @XenVanAdams

[jdluv79]

So real, yet I needed to hear this for confirmation to a project I need to complete...God Bless Man!

[jlobigbooty05]

@XemVanAdams Hey man be blessed! Your platform is not done! Whatever you're going through you will over come!!! Hope to hear your voice in the future, you really don't know how some of your videos touch people! Wish you all the love!.......

[nickelwindow53]

i have been following xem for years and his advice has helped me alot as a gay young black man, but i gotta admit i feel tha the didnt give us a proper goodbye. Xem atleast owes us the reason he is leaving......Tell us that much?....He loyal followers through the years like myself deserve atleast that much! #justsaying

[BlacKnight22]

Thank you for Xem!

[deshawn18]

I don't want you to leave us Xem. You are my inspiration. I stated writing seriously only after viewing ur videos and seeing ur many short stories on your website and your the dupont circle project. u really will be missed. i would like to thank u

[TheDreemchaser]

I love you Xemmy Bear. You will be missed on youtube!

[XxZinfadelityxX]

[justdoinme83]

And i will miss u so much.

[justdoinme83]

[Duii26]

Thanks for the advice Xem. Love you!

[mischievous91]

Yes Xem. U made me want to make a holy ghost noise and spoke to something in my spirit! U truly are a motivational speaker. I wish you the best. Go forward and be blessed!

[fafababy20]

i needed this..

[TokyoUnwanted]

Love you Xem thank you! a video nothing less than epic.

[C0c0aBruvah69]

Continued blessing Xem. Never let the Devil steal your joy. Whatever endeavors you take on, take pride in Your Work & Your Vision. Remember this: When you receive so much hatered, YOU ARE doing something right. Otherwise, they wouldn't come at you with so much nonsense to keep you from your direction. Stay true to yourself & Who YOU ARE. GOD Bless You.

[reddbro7TV]

@XemVanAdams, Hey man don't quit what you passionate about man. Dust yourself off and can back in the saddle. You're not a failure man. You learn from your mistakes. You don't learn from success. Don't let that define your career as a writer man. I believe in you. I betcha you can write a story way better than that one. You have to believe in yourself man. Don't lose faith what GOD given you talent with. If only Micheal Jordan woulda quit when he didn't make the cut in high school?

[bradleysubershow]

I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. You have greatly encouraged me as a member of the Community. Thanks for your encouragement and wisdom. God bless you and enlarge your territory. Love ya,

Bradley

[warr10r08]

Xem, even though I haven't had the opportunity to meet you. I thank God for your presence in my life because for a young black man who happens to be gay, you have been like a big brother. Someone that I can look to for advice on how to avoid the pitfalls that relationships and life can bring...even though you will not be on Youtube anymore, I hope that you will continue to share your life with all of us...especially with me. God Bless you and Good luck with all your endeavors!

[2011representinagain]

Xem... Xem... Xem *sigh* we are really going to miss you!! I wish you the best in your future endeavors

[LuvReci2Pieces]

THANK FOR OPENING UP, AND SHARING A PART OF YOUR LIFE WITH US. I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S. PLEASE DON'T CLOSED YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES I LIKE TO GO BACK AND WATCH YOUR VIDEO'S. THANK U AGAIN FOR SHARING UR WORLD WITH ME DARLING! XO

[GaryDoobay]

XemVanAdams God has blessed you with wisdom so it's only fair that you share it.

poem by Faiza Taseer

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Take care & much love.

[sajm4315]

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[ShoNuffRiight]

Oh my, this was sooo touching. Especially the ending. I am sad to see you go, but I know that's life. I am sure we'll see you again in another platform because you are a STAR baby!! Rise Xemy Bear!!

[brankb83]

Xem, this is such a powerful video. You have no idea the impact that you've had on my life. Your words of wisdom encouraged me to open up to my family, and for that I thank you. I will definitely miss you.

[ZemZam2000]

Best video ever

[soultruth]

This is absolutely the truth. I 100% percent understand and agree. Thank you for sharing this.

Its funny how someone you dont even know can have such a strong impact in your life. I wish you the best in all you do and in the immortal words of Xem VanAdams, continue to "conquor the world one word at a time." All Love...

[griceh]

Xem I'm so happy you are back I missed you a lot! In order to learn in life we have to make mistakes, those same mistakes are going to help us get stronger and wiser during our journey in life...You are wise enough to accept your mistakes and because of that you are closer to achieving all your goals. Remember only God knows when is the right time for everything and everyone. I LOVE U XEM...good luck :0)

[missptv9090]

This was a great message, much success to you Xem!!! I hope you do come back from time to time :-) Muah!!

[poopstainsz]

I Have been a faithful follower of your videos and stories for years.. I always looked forward to them. But, I know God has a plan for you, and you will follow through. I really appreciate your time with us.. it has been a very fun ride, but all good things must come to an end. You bought countless joys to us, and its so sad it won't continue. As long as you will be good, us followers, will be the fine. We will definitely miss you and watch your videos in memory.

From,

Your Celebutant.

[DDL3S]

THANK YOU! For your time, words, wisdom, advice, humor, and love over the past years. I loved watching you all these years and I want you to know as you embark on the next chapters in your life that this was not in vain. You have truly made an impact in the work you have done. This video alone has spoke volumes to me and has come in a time in my life where I too must learn how to rise and not run. Good luck on all your future endeavors. Much love and success.

[JBoogie1]

This has to be the best video because its so truthful and real. Thank GOD you didn't tear up cuz I would have broke down. God bless homie and stay up!

Your videos will truly be missed...God bless you Xem Van Adams

I don't understand why you are giving up on Youtube! Your video was very good, showed real maturity, honesty and growth. It showed that you have really learned a lot. You have a lot to teach and help others as a result of your experiences. I'm really going to miss you. I think the Dupont Circle series is a great idea and I hope you'll continue to work with it and make it a production that not only you can be proud of, but something we in the DC gay community can be proud to share in with you..

I am really going to miss your videos. You have helped me along my path of growth and for that I thank you. You entertained me and for that I thank you. I wish you nothing but blessings for your next chapter and for the rest of your life♥
