Thank you, Everyone

[Jak Angelescu]

As some of you know I told Juan that I was taking a step back from my social circumstances because in the course of about three weeks, certain things hit hard. I’m gonna spare the details. But it all worsened when I got some disgusting messages about a photo I posted to instagram and my story. Hector and my singer talked me through that mess. And it…. was….a…. mess.
Then today some jerk somehow got a hold of my YouTube channel and tagged me in some nasty, hateful comments.
So since then I have made ALL of my videos private and changed my YouTube name until I can figure out who this guy is or how he got ahold of some of my videos that were unlisted. I’m sorry if some of you were watching the lessons.
But the most amazing thing was the numerous messages i’ve received here, on the forum post, and personal messages on other platforms from you guys. I keep getting notifications about students “wishing me a good recovery and happy loving thoughts” and boy, it’s just what I needed. I like to view myself as a strong person but after three weeks of hell I had to reevaluate my life.
You all are more amazing than you know. I’m still needing a social break for a little while longer. But I did want to drop by and say…
You all are doing great. Keep it up. And have a happy holiday.
Love,
Jak

People are just assholes. There are so many people that’ll go out of their way just to be a dick. hope you start feeling better though!

I was wondering how you were doing, hope you feel better soon and things get resolved.
I know what you mean, the internet is SO full of senseless hate.
A break is very necessary every once in a while.

Keep your head up and keep shredding xoxo

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

Btw I can still find your youtube by typing in the search your name, just a heads up. I think youtube is slow to update.

 

[Ed Seith]

Aww, c’mon. The Internet brings out the BEST in people, Jak! Right??!?

If you’re ever overstressed you can talk to me.. YouTube hate is the worst. Back in my starter days I’d attempt a7x without tabs or anything.. just by ear. The hatred I’d get.. but I also did it to be able to get over those comments. As harmful as they are to hear.. if you can block that out stage fright should be nothing. Atleast that was my theory.
I hate what the net has become. Its literally one person always putting another down for literally voicing an opinion.

The anonymity of internet forums and social media tends to turn some people into raving assholes, and as much as we shouldn’t have to, the reality is we just have to learn to deal with it.
There will always be somebody trying to tear you down, both in real life and it’s virtual counterpart, and it can be hard to cope with. You do get stronger and build a resiliance to it over time, just be sure to use it to fuel your fire rather than extinguish it.
Keep your chin up Jak and keep doing you!

Thank you so much for the love and support everyone. Andrew, my channel is still active but there shouldn’t be any videos that you can view at the moment. Thank you so much for the heads up. Let me know if you can still see any videos and I’ll have to change that.
@calvin you have been helping me lately and it has meant a lot
The outreach and support from everyone has really made a big difference. I wish I could truly make you all understand how much it’s helped me.
Sometimes you just need that reminder. Especially when putting up with bullshit nonstop. You all have helped me feel that spark again. I thank you all SO much.
PS: did you all get the emails about the new lessons? Really excited for that.

 

[Calvin Phillips]

I think we should see another episode of avenged hate even the keymaster himself gets told hes terrible on a daily basic.

There is only a handful of people in our lives whose opinions actually matter and whom we choose to listen to, and that is because those people have earned our respect. Everyone else can go to hell!
Usually the people who criticize others the most aren’t doing anything themselves. It stems from insecurities and jealousy.
PS. New lessons?! I’m SO excited!

I like to quote slipknot in times like these People=Shit

Ok Jak, you’re problem will be “taken care of” soon. Just don’t watch the news for the next few days NO ONE messes with a synner and gets away with it. Just kidding. You know we’re all here for you home girl. Don’t worry about these internet “thugs”. It takes a lot out of you just seeing or hearing the hate. Just keep your head up and gracefully step over the horse shit.

 

[Jak Angelescu]

you all sound like you would be the coolest cats to strut the streets with. And some of you sound like you’d be the best to have in my corner during a bar fight
I can’t stop laughing and smiling. You all really warmed my heart. I wish I could give a more thorough, personal response to everyone but wow…
Syn and Papa have the greatest fans

 

[Matt Wildman]

Yeah…to hell wit dem haters. Lol just keep doing what you do Jak

 

[Jak Angelescu]

Thanks, Matt
