My name is Matthew and I am 14 years old, and You're my biggest role model, I recently had to lose my right leg because of a flesh eating bacteria, and every time I tried to walk I kept falling, because I wasn't used to not having my right leg, but watching your videos helped me find techniques to help me balance and learn to live without my leg, know your worth, and please keep making videos, they inspire a lot of people, and may God be with you
You remind me a lot of myself. Since being diagnosed with a chronic condition that has fluctuated throughout my life. I can’t help but feel so much euphoria from the simplest things, like a full moon!!? How incredible is this life 🧚🏽♀️
I’m so glad you can spread positivity like this. I learned through many difficulties that life is precious and that I must make the most of the time I have here. Thank you Alex
i couldn’t even tell you how many days i woke up with my amputation and just wanted to stay home in isolation. i hated being different from other people and not being able to do things that others could. but alex is 100% correct. really appreciate the little things in life. appreciate the people around you. appreciate the world. alex, keep doing what you’re doing man. you inspire more people than you know, including myself.
Your story is truly inspiring and it amazes me how positive you've been able to stay through everything! Congrats on beating cancer twice! That's not something many people have under their belt.
My husband lost his right leg below the knee last month to type I diabetes. He's 72. In denial that it could ever be him, after all, look how long he beat it! Lived under a lucky star since he was 17 years old believing the vascular disease from diabetes happened to other people, not him. He had healthy kidneys, healthy eyes, healthy feet. Until he cut his toe and it wouldnt heal. They took his toe but it wouldnt heal. They took his foot and it still won't heal. He believes he's too old to adapt. I told him we should have written out and gotten started on that bucket list a long time ago instead of waiting until I retired last year. Now we both feel the recovery, the strength needed to get him through this and back on two feet again will take everything we have left in us and there wont be time for the bucket list. You speak about the threat of dying, the cancer, as being the motivator to live each day as if it was your last. Old age is like a cancer too, threatening to rob you of time. The regrets flood me with despair.
there’s still a bunch of amazing things you two can experience together!! ❤️❤️❤️ i hope you live long and happy lives together even through the struggles❤️
You are such an incredible inspiration to me, after all that you went through, you still keep on smiling more than any person I have seen. It's crazy, how so many people are living such lucky and privileged lives, and yet mourn and complain about the simplest of things. and i cant exclude myself in that sometimes. Something about me being very insecure and anxious whenever im outside and watching you smile despite everything wants me to just get out there with a big grin on my face - Wish you all the best, you don´t know how much you inspire me to change things and I gotta thank you for that! Keep it up!
So many positives come to mind while watching any of your videos. I wish I knew you in real life… I too survived a near death scare, was in the hospital for almost 7 1/2 months, but you’re a huge motivator to me. People tell me that every thing I overcame is a miracle but you my friend are what I strive to be. Thank you for being so amazing.
Hi Alex, found your channel last night and have binged on all your videos! YOU ARE SOO FREAKING LOVELY, BEAUTIFUL, SOO WOKE, SOO POSITIVE AND SOOO FULL OF LIFE & ENERGY!!! You may have lost a leg but I hope and pray that you dont ever loose that beautiful smile and live your life to the fullest! The best is yet to come and you have greater purpose on this earth than to be just walking around in a pair of legs! You gooo boy!!! Big Love!
Most people take life for granted. Most people don’t know how to appreciate the little things they have because they don’t know how much the little things can make a big impact on how they look at the world. Your story will surly inspire others to stay positive and appreciate the little things that they have because little things can make a big difference
Alex you are such a positive guy, and I am sure that you have heard that thousands of times. You are an inspiration to many, including me. I wish you could bottle your positive energy and send it around the world, the world would be a better place.
This is amazing. I’ve been a above the knee, amputee my whole life and I never thought about reaching out to anybody on a social media platform and this is really inspiring and encouraging so thank you for this you’re awesome. 😊
I'm thankful to have my leg. I had a horrible MRSA infection back in 2009 and it was a really painful experience that I wouldn't wish upon anybody. My leg will always hurt. Some days are better than others. The doctor said I got really lucky. I never experienced what Alex has gone through but every step I take I'm super grateful for. Thank you for the inspiring videos. :)
I'm in a really bad mood the past three months coming out of a really difficult situation - relationship. You're so positive, wish I was too. Pray for me.
I really wish you the best for your career & life, Alex! What you're doing is really uplifting and cool to watch! (this sounds like a farewell even though noone's leaving) Anyhow, have a good one!
Hi Alex. I'm new to your channel, and I admire you tremendously. Your positive attitude says a lot about you. I know there are down times, quiet times needed to reflect and recharge. We all have them. But perseverance is the magic that keeps us going. You have that, and I pray you never lose it. Barbara
hello alex!! thank you for making all these videos! your optimism keeps me going throughout the really tough days and you always make me smile! thank you!!🫶
Alex I love your outlook and positivity. Man you are awesome and have an amazing personality. I have seen how you adress people and i can tell you are polite and extremely kind
I hope all the best things to you. TBH… Watching your videos I’m like, when is he gonna break the character. But the more I watch you, the more I believe you are genuinely happy. I admire your positivity and feel a little jealous at the same time. Keep it up, bro I’m cheering for you
Really love the positivity man! And finding your chanel! It's inspiering to me to watch you, I haven't lost any body parts. But I am going to become an Orthotic, and want to specialize in making Prosthetics. Already got my aprenticeship which starts the 14th of August. And after 2 years, I'll be finished with my education. And I hope to make people as happy as you with giving people the gift of being able to walk again!
Alex you are a True Hero and Inspiration to us All.. you are Remarkable. What a Wonderful Guy you. I hope Yourself and your family and friends Lives are Filled with Happiness, Joy, Fun Luck and so much love. Have a Fantastic 2023
Thank you for sharing another amazing video I was having a bad day today and Your video(s) always make me smile and laugh and im learning alot about people with prosthetics like you and think thats soo kool ! I love that you have such Positivity to you and a rocking attudue and also you have such a great infectious smile😊❤! Love all your videos can't wait to see what you do in the next one😊❤!!
You're such a great inspiration to everyone. And quite frankly, I needed to hear how you stay positive when your day just isn't going your way, so thank you Alex :D
in my experience with electronics they always seem to manage to coax me into thinking a small percentage is enough to last a long time but when i need them they just fall dead instantly apon gaining any responsibility its like my siblings all over again
I love this dude! He is happier that most of able boddied people I know me inclueded!😂😂😂 your parrnt did something right dude. They raised one hell of a fighter and a happy kid!
Hello mate! So happy the mysterious algorithm let me find you. I found a prosthetic leg in a dumpster a few years back. A C-Leg. No charging equip, so I don't know if it works. Is there a way to find the original owner, to try to re-unite them? Or, can they be donated to individuals? (I heard conflicting things like, no, they are tailor-made and can't be re-used.) I'm hurtin for money but, it's more important for someone in-need to have this, rather than scrap it. Thank you!
I have a partial hand amputation but it don't look half as cool as you, living vicariously through your cool leg covers, will have to find a slay prosthetic myself soon
You have a very beautiful leg. I’m always happy to see such a positive attitude. I don’t change my sock on my prosthetic leg very often either, it’s ok. I hop a lot too at night because the place I live in is a small trailer and the crutches can’t really be used safely. I’m a bk amputee 6 months post operation. You are very inspiring and positive and I’ve been binge watching your videos. I also wonder how old you are and are you single because you’re so very very handsome. Anyway hope you have a wonderful day!
I'm new here and you're positivity is contagious etc when I see you I smile. When I see you I think bruh let's be happy let's thank God we're still healthy and not in the hospital etc let's forget about our worries and live a positive life
"I don't know what my future holds, but life is short, the world is wide and I want to make some memories." - Donna Sheridan (Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again)
Love listening to your voice and insights, and seeing you dance! ahaha u really remind us to appreciate the simple things in life 💜 also has anybody told you you're cool, handsome, funny and kind?! you've probably been told that ofc
⚠️HEY, ALEX: Hey so... I am wondering; is it *possible* that using all natural wipes or witch hazel wipes would be better then perhaps the chemicals on your skin? Just lookin' out for our bro 🥺💖
I would be cautious of using Clorox on the silicon which is in direct contact with your skin for more than 12 hours. I get a nasty rash if I use anything harsher than Cetaphil
Alex, I have a question. I have thanatophobia, the fear of death. I don’t want to ask my parents for a therapist because one, I don’t want to accept that my fear is bringing me to the state that I need to get help and two, because therapy costs so much and my family is struggling. I know my parents would get the therapy, and that’s the bad part because I don’t want them to use that much money in me. Please just tell me: how did you cope with death being upon you when you had cancer? How did you deal with that? I struggle with this a lot and finally figured out I could ask you. This would make my life so much better- just some words to live by. Thanks man! You’re a great guy!
I really do commend you for your positive attitude and how well you are doing however I do not ever call yourself disabled because you were not you can do anything that you could do before there are many people who are disabled that can only do 50 even 25% of what they used to could do. That being said I'm so glad that you were doing as well as you are.
Hey brother just wanted to say that you are an absolute legend for always having a positive outlook always and I always try to to have the same outllook as well.

i'm so sorry, Matthew. Take care!
I love how I’m only 30 seconds into the video and he’s already found a way to make me smile and laugh
I love that!!
Whenever I see that he uploads it makes me smile
Why? What did he say? I don’t get it. He’s just talking
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 it’s not anything he said but rather the happiness and joy that just radiates from him
@@braydenmilligan3656 You think? 🤔You consider that abnormal? he just seems like a regular joe shmoe.
“What would you do if you got cancer?”
“Beat it, obviously.”
Literally the chosen one ❤
4:32 for anyone who needs it
You remind me a lot of myself. Since being diagnosed with a chronic condition that has fluctuated throughout my life. I can’t help but feel so much euphoria from the simplest things, like a full moon!!? How incredible is this life 🧚🏽♀️
Same! I'll go outside and feel a cool breeze and just close my eyes... We're blessed

I love the end frame. Nice picture. I wonder where you got that.
You’re so inspiring and always seem positive! Love that, thank you for your awesome work🥰🫶🏼
