Sam and Colby are tired.

They dont want to be tired anymore. Death calls for them, and they listen. It takes them gently, making sure neither of them look away.

In the end it's safe, and two kids are put to rest.

_

They started out young. Far to young if the bone deep tiredness had anything to say about it.

Starting a youtube channel was never something either of them took seriously. Posting videos online of the different buildings they liked to explore was nothing more then two kids having fun.

Experiencing life. Living life.

They didn't expect to blow up. To be pressured to post more and more content. The friends they've once known turning there backs on them out of jealousy. They didn't expect the onslaught of quick popularity, nor the hate and backlash for doing stuff they liked. Breathed.

Exploring was more then just being reckless to Sam and Colby. It was a way out , a way to escape.

Exploring was like opening your mind to a whole new world. One that there demons couldn't find them in. They went out and found beautiful places to call there own, places where they felt safe.

Sam and Colby share the same regret every day and every night. The ongoing burden which is there life's. They wish they could take it all back. Go back to Kansas where it was normal and life without pressure. Go back to exploring and laughing with each other about who can go into the cave furthest.

They miss the simplicity of it all.

Now exploring feels like a chore. Being forced to upload not only by there fans but there new management team too. It stripped all the joy out of the mondon task.

Sam and Colby where just kids when they were pressured to sign there lives away. Just kids when they were forced to move to La. Just kids when others pick pocketed off there fame. And they were still just kids as they came home, exhausted and in need of something they didn't quiet know yet.

This is not to say that they didn't also love there new life. Of corse they loved there fans, they were always so nice to them and offered friendships that they've never had the chance to have before.

There fans built them up and sheltered them from those who wanted to hurt them. Always calling out fake friends and showing proof of there dishonesty. There fans were there for every milestone and accomplishment, boosting them on and encouraging them to do there best.

Sam and Colby are forever grateful for there fans.

But it does not always lessen the load of feelings they have. Being famous was never something the two wanted. They dont want to be recognized everywhere they go, they dont want the fear of one miss step and all the backlash that comes with it.

They dont want others reaching out with promises of a long friendship only to stab them in the back later on. They never asked for any of this.

But they give. They give and give and give the people want they want no matter the tiredness. They record. They upload. They post.

Repeat. repeat. repeat.

They loose track of time as they force there creaking body's to explore more. To do more. To be more.

Every time they think they've given enough and deserve a break there crushed back down again.

"Your letting everyone down if you take a break! Do you rlly want to let everyone down?!"

"Your both foolish. Stoping now would be like tapping out when you finally reach the top. Do you know how many people suffer more then you do for a piece of what you guys have"
