Mysta cries while thinking about his rough past with his mom 

I respect Mysta and his mama very much. She did a great job raising such a thoughtful man, he is extremely humble and sincere.

Mysta, we're proud of you and mama Rias. Thank you mama Rias for giving us such a precious gift and raising him to be a good boy.

I understand how Mysta felt. The only person I can rely to after my dad passed away is my mom and she's been a strong single mother till I became an adult. She does feel like she couldn't afford enough to support all her children. I cried listening to him. 😭

Mama Rias did an outstanding job at raising him ❤️ you never get to fully know the person behind the vtuber, but it is so obvious that Mysta is a wonderful human being

as someone who went through poverty before i cried as he told his story😭😭 i only could eat once a day as a kid and it being limited to bread and yogurt mostly, this project is honestly so so hopeful and it lightens my heart❣️

i've read all of y'alls own rough stories... and i just wanna give everyone a hug. having to overcome such a difficult time in your lives isn't easy yet you all pushed through and worked even harder just so you could survive.. like me.. like mysta. you all have my respect and you all are doing amazing 🧡 i hope you all are doing well now, even by just a little. i wish nothing but good health and success to everyone 🥰

I have so much respect for Mysta bro. As a fellow Filipino, I've seen so many stories of single moms working so hard for their children and it just makes you have this huge amount of respect for them. Mysta's considerate and understanding nature makes Mama Rias very lucky because obviously it's not her fault at all. I'm glad that both of them are happy now.

And then somehow this reminded me of that one stream where mysta talked about his mom buying him mcdonalds even though he's on a diet😭 Man i'm crying, both Mama Rias and Mysta are strong af and we're proud!🧡

I have so much respect for Mama Rias because to be able to raise a child on your own in a foreign country with your family thousands of miles away on a diffrent continent without the ability to see or even talk to each other often and also having to deal with poverty and probably worrying about having your child taken away and still manege to stay so positive and loving is not an easy thing to do yet Mysta is the testment of her resiliace and she did a wonderful job of bringing up this wonderful man

Nah man, I wanna cry now, this hits way too close to home. Mama Rias did an amazing job, thank you Mysta for sharing this with us :')

I never have really seen Mysta cry. Seeing him cry just makes me want to run up to him and hug him so tight. Gosh, I’m such a baby 😭😭😭

I don't think he's ever cried in stream like that before. Underneath all the sarcasm & cynicism, you can really tell that Mysta has a wonderful heart just by the way he treats Mama Rias. His love for her is so palpable & whenever he opens up like this, it makes me love him all the more.

This made me cry too because i really know what he feels. maybe thats why he's my oshi cuz i really can relate to him. 😭🧡

MAN he got me teary eyed too. This was an amazing idea for a project from the Mystakes. I'm so glad him and mama rias are in a better situation now, and are inspiring fans to help others who may not be in the best of situations.

This'll be lengthy, but I'm touched personally by this and I must speak/type. Its from the heart: Dearest Mysta, If you should ever see this, Bless you and your Mom, Mysta. I can empathize because I've been homeless/ "nomadic". It can be and IS an embarrassing, heartbreaking and almost soul crushing experience. And sadly, in my case, there were individuals that took advantage of my situation. It can render one to tears sometimes because the heart needs to emote and get it out. But I pressed on. And you and your dear Mum pressed on. You survived that circumstance and YOU ARE THRIVING, SWEETHEART!! You bring so much joy, laughter, cheekiness and life experience in your young years to the table and to a global community, we Mystakes, that we admire, respect and love you for it. The mutual teasing and chain jerking goes back and forth for a good laugh. But trust that we are all so proud of you. Continue setting your goals and making it happen. Support the charities that motivate your heart. When you do shed tears, may they only be tears of hope, joy and accomplishment. Hold your head high. And this goes out to anyone else that needs to hear these encouraging words. Hugs and Headpats to you, Mysta. xoxo Muah!

I always appreciate how mysta is so grateful for his position and how hard he worked to get to where he is now. He really is so inspiring

This made me cry so hard, when he talked about how his mom felt ashamed she wasn't doing enough for him. But they were both so strong and now that Mysta can afford to live nicer makes me so happy, mama rias tried hard and did the best she could to support her son.

Mysta is seriously such a good person. Even though he has a totally different personality than I do, I find him incredibly relatable. My father passed away when I was really little, and my mom had to raise me and my two brothers by herself. And it was hard. We were very lucky that my parents bought the house I grew up in, because there were times when money was so tight, she had to choose between paying the electric bill and the phone bill, and we were literally living on bread and water. But we got through it, and it taught me so much about appreciation and respecting people, no matter what their upbringing was like. A person's character isn't defined by their wealth. It's about how they treat others, especially the people they love. Money comes and goes, but being the type of people who looks out for others and recognizes the value in everyone is so important. Nobody should feel ashamed of getting help when they need it. I mean, honestly, look at Mysta... he's struggled so much, but he's also incredibly successful now. Part of that comes from the resilience of knowing how to get through the hard times and survive so that you can achieve something better for yourself.

He's not a very emotional guy, said so himself and rather avoid making us sad and cry for his graduation but mama rias and all she has done for him and what they went through together will always make all of us tear up seeing how far he has grown to help both of their living situations. He's such a wonderful son to her

He is sooo precious!! 😭 thank you mama rias for giving birth to such a wonderful person ❤

I appreciate fan projects like this so much! I swear sometimes fandoms can be wayyy more organized than the authoritative bodies who *get paid* to make projects like this

this hits a little to hard on me, i know how he feels, I'm crying as fuck, but I just want to say, to my mom and to all the mom's who fight so hard to raise a kid alone, to all the mom's that feel like they failed because of not being able to give their kid something they asked for, for not having the money, for all the mom's who feel like they failed for only being able to get the basic food, to all the mom's that blame themselves for the lack of a dad for their kid. to all those mom's, You are incredible, you are so incredible, you did everything you could, and you're so so so strong, and your kid is definitely proud of you, please love yourself more, you are the best mom ever okay, I'm sure that the situation you're in doesn't change anything in how your kid loves you. You did not fail in anything. and to anyone that has a mom like this, if you ever get the chance to tell them this please do, in your own words, for your own situation, but please tell them, tell them that they did not fail in anything, they deserve to know it, your words will mean so much more than you imagine to them. ( i hope the English isn't to bad, it's not my first language and I have been crying as I write this so my eyes are blurry, sorry for any mistakes )

I can relate. I mean it's not easy to starve and comparing yourself to others who are eating better or have more feels even worse. Kudos to Mysta's breakthrough tho! Mama Mysta and his fans are here super proud of him!

Hearing mysta cry makes me want to cry 😭😭😭

Bless him and his mam. It's heartbreaking that this is the only way for some people to live and the fact he's doing this is amazing. Mysta is a great guy and every clip and stream I watch I love him more and more he's earned all this success

When i hear his voice like that, i started yo cry.

This is exactly why I respect and stan Mysta so much. He's so strong inside and I'm just so thankful that he is successful in his vtubing career now so he could support Mama Rias better. I'm so grateful for her raising such nice son. Mama Rias if you are out there waatching this, Mysta is the son that u can be proud of and we appreciate you for bringing him to us. Thank you a lot!

i wish i could give him a warm hug 🫂

This is the best project ever 🥹 and Mama Rias did wonderfully raising such a precious person 🥹 This literally got me tearing up 🥹

At the moments like theese I am reassured that hard times make strong people. No matter how hard it is for you right now, if you can somehow make it, you made it.

I’m so proud of Mysta and Mama Rias. As someone who’s been going through something like that for years and currently is still going through with it but not as bad as it used to be, it is embarrassing not being able to have electricity or water for months and wearing the same clothes for years or not having food most of the time and having to make due with canned beans or toast bread for weeks….My friends always want me to go out with them but not having money with me is just,,,,,,so they try to pay for me which is even worse, I get their good intentions but sometimes I don’t think they see me as someone on their level, but it might be just me haha…..Him having the strength to talk about such things just makes so proud of what he’s done and how far he’s come, they’ve both come. I love him so much and Mama Rias is so strong for raising him and doing her best throughout these years with what she had AUGHHH I LOVE THEM BOTH THANK YOU MAMA RIAS FOR GIVING BIRTH TO SUCH A WONDERFUL SON 😭😭🧡🧡

I was so happy when I saw the Mystake project. Mysta is an inspiration to many Mystakes. And I'm proud with the community because despite being chaotic/unhinged/troll of Mystakes, they make these kinds of project for the sake of Mysta. So when I read the project I was like: "NO WAY!!! MYSTAKES AAWWW THAT'S SO WHOLESOME! I bet this'll make Mysta cry"

Seeing this clip again after his recent announcement made me feel overwhelmed 🥹 our boy mysta really have came a longgg way and gosh im so proud of him. From him and mama rias having to travel +1 hour for food with a food ticket to him now that had achieved his goal of providing his mom a house, and becoming more financially stable with a lot of people supporting him, really made me realized of what a great guy he is. Hoping the best for him and his future always, and hoping that he could get a normal or even perhaps, a greater life with his mom after his graduation🧡🧡🧡

I can’t express by words how much respect I have and how sorry but of course very proud I am. I just can’t find correct words through the tears. I love him and my heart is so happy to see how he is doing right now.

man he deserves all love and success there is

This actually Lowkey hits a soft spot for me...

as a Filipino mom myself I can relate to his mom. We were raised here in a culture that we have to raise our kids on our own & not to rely on others for help because we are told that relying on others is degrading. I hope Mysta decides on the near future to continue his studies, because even tho his mom doesn't say this to him, i know his Mom wants this for him too based on what he said in one of his streams. Keep fighting the good fight Mysta! We're all behind you to support you all the way! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Thank Mama Rias TvT. I cried while watching this in the stream and now it flashback. Mama Rias is a wonderful woman, I admire so much. Thank you so much Mama Rias if you see it😢

Thank god for good moms like Mama Rias. I'm sorry she felt so bad and both went through such a hard time.. I don't think she failed at all. I can see she raised a great son. 🥰

Aw bb Mysta and Mama Rias, I'm happy they're progressed so far after their hardships and now it's their turn to uplift other people. Wish them a good life 😘🧡

Im bawling my eyes out this man has such a pure soul and he and his mom desserves the world

I hope his mama knows she raised a good kid, he genuinely is thoughtful and really has a lot of empathy (I hope that's the correct term)

This adds to more reasons I respect mysta more.

I respect mama rias with all my heart ❤❤❤ .. Seeing how it is difficult to raise a child... Mysta turn out to be a respectable man and humble.. Sooo mama rias if ever miracle you could read this comment! Be proud that you raise mysta with the outmost of your ability..

Oh god this man needs a hug. It’s okay Mysta! You’re doing great and I’m sure your mother is also very proud of you 🫂🥹

As a mom and solo parent, we always felt were not giving the best for our child. To hear this words that were doing our best is all we could ask for our child. ♥️

I never knew that about mystas story, im quite new to the community, Its so amazing of him talking this open hearted about his past like that. Now I just feel like tightly hugging him omg.

We are so proud of him and mamarias is amazing and raised an amazing man and I’m crying

I'm so proud of you Mysta 🥺🫂❤️ Love and respect to your lovely and strong mama ❤️

He is always teary when it comes to his mom, mysta is so sweet❤. Everything has its purpose, ypu deserve all the things you have now mysta. Keep it up.

Im crying 31.07.23, 1:55am It just empathy kicking in and it must be such a hard life to live

Mysta have come a long way i really proud of him 💜

I've personally grown up very privileged, but I sympathize with people who've gone through so much just to survive, because I respect the hell out of them. Theyy have probably done so much more with their life than I ever will, and I cannot imagine how I would even survive if I were in their situation. Mysta and Mama Rias worked so hard, and I'm so proud of the both of them. Mysta for working hard to get to where he is today, and Mama Rias for raising Mysta to be such a wonderful person.

This made me cry and go hug my mom🥹💕

The way tears are falling down my face OMG

I had no idea Mysta had such a difficult upbringing. I don't watch that much but now my respect for him went up exponential. And I'm glad he's able to talk about stuff like this as well, it's really nothing to be embarrassed of. It's...ugh. My heart actually hurts

Hearing him to cry made me cry too..

Mysta is living proof Mama Rias did an absolutely amazing job!!!

Mysta deserve all the love he is having right now. Thank you Mama Rias for being such a brave woman in a foreign country, raising a child. Life’s hard, but it’ll be better.

mannn this hits home 💀 i grew up below the poverty line and both of my parents were addled with any kind of drug and alcohol and i've couch hopped for years because we've never had a stable place to live. godbless anyone who's struggling or has struggled and just know shit does get better

Hearing Mysta tear up as he explained more of his past situation with his Mom made me teary myself, and it reminded me of my own experiences. The more I learn about Mysta, the more respect and admiration I feel! He’s very thoughtful and kindhearted. I know we’ll never know the person behind the screen, but I’m glad I know him even through a persona. I hope he knows that the mystakes are proud of him so much, I seriously wish him and his mother nothing but the best because they deserve it. To anyone who is or was struggling in similar ways: you are strong and resilient people! This does not define you and you deserve all the love and support! I remember when me and my mom and sibling would have to rely on food boxes and clothing banks, when even basic utilities would be shut off for weeks because we couldn’t afford to pay, and the constant threat of having our home taken away from under our feet. I remember seeing how frustrated and depressed my mom was, but I’m going to tell her how much I love and appreciate her, especially back then.

As someone who lived on that razor blade edge of 'can I afford to eat tonight', I get Mysta and his... not want to be there. His need to feed his mother while he's flourishing. I respect that. I'm okay now. And I'm glad Mysta is. And that he can look after the mama that raised such an upstanding kid.

I'm so happy where he has come to right now. Mama rias and mysta deserve all the love and support! Mama rias has raised a thoughtful and appreciative man

Hearing him cry makes me cry my mum said the exact same thing to me when he said that his mum didn’t support him enough. I don’t have a past like mysta but my mum said it anyway and it broke my heart too 🧡

She is a strong single mother, whatever reason that make her has to support him alone, and raised an even stronger son. So proud of Mama Rias and Mysta. I grew up poor but not to the point of getting food support, because my 3rd world country does not do something like this, so we have to try our hardest to survive and go to school. Now when we live a lot lot lot better, sometimes my Mom said "what if we had this life back then when you guys are still in school. You will get better nutrition, better clothes, better school stuff, or even better school. I'm sorry you have to go thru that all" It always makes me sad that my parents are blaming themselves for their lack of incomes. It was a tough time for everyone, and despite that all, we never once blame them. They did their best, and they deserve all the wealth they have now

Your mama did a perfect job raising u and even tho I can’t relate to what he went through this story still brought tears to my eyes you are perfect and so is your mama she raised you to be such a kind , funny person

Even having to learn the struggles when I was in school since that all we did was give back to the community and help out to those in need, always donating foods and clothes, we would even have a day where we would go out and build bed for kids who didn’t even have a bed. We even gave kids that didn’t have school supplies or lunches in backpack. It was always nice to do things like this to help people out in their hard times and providing as much resources we can give. I’m just so proud that mysta and his mom made it work and she continued to make sure he was taken care of in anyway that she could and as well as herself. She’s an amazing mother and she deserve so much.

damn they both worked soo hard and finally out of that

I understand believe me I understand my mom not here anymore but she did what she could for us she had to go through so much with family and friends but she gave us all she could. I know the feeling I'm a mother now and I hope I can be half the woman she was.

this was the first time i saw him cry 😭😭😭😭

ill wait till the day mysta well be rich enough and be mysta beast

😭I can relate with 🧡Mysta so much. And I’m still going through that. I love how he’s comfortable sharing his past struggles with his fans. I love Mysta man.🥹

The more I know the more I feel bad for.

this makes me cry bc i remember my mum had moved to australia maybe the same year that we lost my dad and our youngest or maybe even the year after and the rest of my siblings had moved away from where i was with our grandparents. so i'm this 2 year old in new zealand with my grandparents on their farm, not knowing where my siblings and my parents are. i was brought to australia when i was 5 and whilst it was unknown to me at the time, bc my mother is this lady of 4 kids, alone and trying to provide on her own in a completely different country, it meant she had struggled. we had lived in an area known as homebush with this kind old man that my mum had gotten to know and he opened the doors of his home to us. i remember my mum also telling me how she would just want to cry bc when it came to me going to preschool, i had a scooter but we didn't have a car at the time and so when i got tired, my mum would have to carry me and the scooter home and she (as this strong, prideful woman who's been working to support the ones she loves) wanted to sob. she's, we're all doing better now but i'm gonna take care of this woman for the rest of my life after everything she's done.

Oh my goodness I'm crying just hearing him cry. I know exactly how he feels because we also didn't have a lot of money growing up, and my mom had to go to the food bank to get food for my brother and I. We never went with her, but she told me she would cry when she went, and it's probably because she felt the same way that Mysta's mom did. My heart goes out to both of our moms. So yeah, I completely understand where Mysta is coming from. 😢 I truly hope that he and his mom are doing better now because my god, they deserve it. 🧡

It hurts seeing and hearing him cry

My heart hurts when he said mama rias choose to believe that she failed him when in fact she raised a kind hearted, funny, sweet, hardworking, considerate, loving child. A mother's love is different really. They went through alot and im very happy that they are now in a better position because life is fair and unfair you know.

This made me cry I have also been in the same situation except in have 6 siblings and at points I'm my life I did have to life else where once we all almost got separated but my aunt luckly took all of us and we lived in her apartment for a few years tell my mom was doing good. Now my mom is doing amazing and my siblings have nice familys. Mysta really make me so happy and i feel super comfy with him I love him sm

Oh mysta 😭😭❤️

Pls I just woke up, I can't cry this early morning T T

i loveeeee this kindess in the community. this is something I want to keep doing as well is why I made it my goal to keep doing charity streams at least twice a year. ^_^ growing up, I also didnt have much things in life and we always get kicked out of our apartment cuz we couldnt pay the rent no more. We experienced living on my dad's boss' SUV for couple of nights while my dad tries to find place to stay... but now, I'm extremely blessed to have a comfortable home, warm bed and food everyday and I want to give back no matter what or how. Everyday I'm grateful of whatever I am privileged to have in life. I wish the best for Mysta and Mama Rias. May the universe always guide them as well as everyone in the community and keep them healthy and happy.🧡🧡🧡 keep spreading the kindness and compassion, everyone!! You're making huge difference!

i love this man so much, i just can’t say how much i really love, Mysta u the best!🧡🧡🧡

I love seeing communities put together stuff like this. Mysta is one of the most inspiring role models out there with his experiences and his emotional intelligence was so immediately apparent from the beginning aside from his humor. I'm lucky to have been fortunate to never worry about food or a home but my high school had a drop out rate of 50% for girls because they would get pregnant and so many were single mothers. I can only count on one hand the amount of dads who stayed so I respect the heck out of any single moms I've seen how much work they put in. The stigma is even worse against Asian women because their worth is so often tied to marriage.

I also experience those things and it's so hard to be on that situation. I'm so happy for mysta that he's doing good rn. we, mystakes loves you so much and we're all here to support you🧡

It's so hard to swallow the lumps on my throat how painful it is to hear Mysta's shaky/emotional voice, like dude, he's been through a LOT with his mom. If only we could give him warm hugs. Ma bois deserves what he has right now 🧡

didn't realise i shed a tear ;-; love you both mama rias and mysta ;-; theyre both a wonderful person

Mama rias did her best. She tried and raised a great young man. Thank you mama rias.

I respect Mysta and his mum ALOT . Even if they were living in such a situation they still strived through the pain , powering on day by day trying to live . Now he gets to live the life he wants yet he still is humble . Mysta , we wanna thank your mother for raising such a good boi .

Thank you for this clip! So endearing that Mystakes started a project like this one. I'm so proud and happy!

🫂 to Mysta. He's come such a long way and it can't be easy sharing about struggles in the past. I hope he knows just how proud everyone is of him, and that his mum feels proud of herself too for how well she raised her son. 🧡

I cried, for him, for everyone in that situation. You're always going to be enough. You'll get through it. I cried for the fact I want to be able to help people too, one day I will.

you deserve all the love and support Mysta🥺🥺 Happy Birthdayyyy

man im crying i can understand how he feels, since i did go through the same situation TT this man is so pure AAAAA

I really cried this is my first time hearing him crying like this like im so proud of him and his mom like I don’t what to say but im so happy for them thank you mistaks 🧡

God dang it Mysta, now i cri tooo. I rlly wanted to hug him when he started sobbing ; _ ; Hope he had the best bday ever! And more of the good stuff for rest of his life!! Not having enough money during childhood sure shapes people and he was shaped for the good. MAMA RIAS DID A FINE JOB!!!
