 Hello my beautiful internet friends. Something arrived on my porch last night that I am way too excited about. And I really, I honestly don't know if these videos are just super boring for everybody who is not a YouTube creator or a content creator. This is a YouTube creator award. It's a plaque that you get for reaching 100,000 subscribers along with a letter from YouTube. I wanna unbox it with you guys. I've been dying to open this all morning and I need you guys to know that I have exercised a lot of patience to not open it before I could actually film it. I don't feel like this should be mine. Like it's something that's really monumental to me and means a lot to me. So thank you for helping me get here. So let's open it. I think it's kind of fancy that it comes in like a happy little branded box. So you know exactly what it is. So you can get excited from the moment you see it show up on your porch. Oh, almost. Can't forget the tape on the bottom guys. It's time. Foam, I like it. So I know that the plaque is right underneath this but this letter is actually on kind of nice paper. Good job, YouTube. From Susan Wojcinski. I think that's how you see her last name. She is the current CEO and I think she signs them. Maybe she has someone sign them for her. I'm not entirely sure, but that's really cool. Ha! Oh my God. This is crazy. Rick, thank you for packaging it for me. Oh my God. I like that it has like a little mirror in it. I need to find somewhere to like actually put this in the house but check it out. It actually has like my name on it. See? Thank you guys for helping me get here. This is mind blowing to me. Really, really mind blowing to me. I definitely never thought that I'd get to hold one of these but I always saw other people opening them and it was really inspiring to me. So I don't know how many of you guys actually know this or not but YouTube is not my job. It is a part of it and I would love for it to actually be but you know, we gotta pay the bills and the last year has been so very expensive so I work full time. And if you make videos, you know that they do not come quickly or easily. So making videos is close to a full time job as well. And I would do it in a heartbeat even if I never made a single dime off of it even if I never got a single award from it or anything like that. It's a passion of mine and I'm so grateful to be able to do it. God, I don't wanna like talk too much about how much all this has meant to me because I've done, not like that's a bad thing but I've done a lot of that in the last couple of weeks with it being a year since I started this channel and also a year since the amutation and reaching 100,000. I've done a lot of sentimental chit chatting but it's been so meaningful to me. It's taken so much work. It's not been a simple or easy thing to do or something that's not been without difficulty or stress. I think it's tested me in a lot of different ways but God, it's worth it. It's so worth it. And if you've ever thought about starting a YouTube channel I couldn't encourage you strongly enough to do so. It has been a huge gift in my life and something I hope to be doing for a very, very long time to come. I have no plans or thought of ever stopping. When I say like thanks for being part of my journey I'm not just saying that I legitimately feel like, like the people watching and commenting are a part of this. It's funny, I was just reading the letter and it says we know that numbers on YouTube can get really big but we hope that you don't lose sight of the reality behind the six digit milestone. Yes, that is so true and so important. Like this is not mine as much as it is ours. So I couldn't open it alone. Thank you for sitting and watching this with me. I wish you all could be here. I hope to one day host a meetup or two so I can meet some more of you in person but until then, thank you for being a part of this journey. Thanks for letting me do what I do and for being here for it. I can't wait to make more and more videos and continue sharing my life with you and hearing back from you guys. I love you guys. I'm thinking of you and I'll see you in the next video. Bye guys.
