Hey Mark, my name is Jamie. I just wanted to congratulate you on 9,000,000 subs on Youtube! :D
I don't exactly know what to say, so I'm just gonna go out and say this:
You're awesome, and I love your videos. They are a great help to bringing a smile on my face after a stressful night shift at work.
I wanted to take a moment of your time to let you know who I am exactly.
As you may know, I'm one of your many fans. I've been subscribed to your channel for quite a while now, and your videos never cease to make me laugh and smile and even cry (in a good way I promise!).
I'm 23, I love gaming, and drawing and making/playing music, (I play drums, and sing/scream) and I live in the UK.
Music is and always has been my burning desire, my one true passion. and over the years of doing it, I haven't quite "made it" so to speak. It's got me down to the point where I just wanted to give it up all together. My old band got so much hate, we played a few gigs, but nothing major. Then we split because we got so much hate, and abuse, and for personal reasons. After that I hated music. I stopped listening to it, I stopped playing the drums too. I even stopped doing vocals. I stopped it all together. After about a year, I remember watching one of your videos and I can't exactly remember it word for word, but I do remember you telling us to not give up on our dreams. And that if we want something, we have to work towards it. Only we can make our dreams come true.
And it helped me a lot. Like, more than I could ever express. I'm in a band again, and back to making the music that I love! :) My band is called Bleed the Aggressor (or BTA for short), we have a demo at the moment called Buried and forgotten, and we have recently joined a record label known as True Kings. All we need to do is record an album and then we're off! We will have merchandise sorted for us, artwork, and future recording, publicity, gigs, etc. We even have an artist, who is on the same label, wanting to make a song with us! Amazing right!? And you know what's even more amazing?...
The fact that it was thanks to your video, that I never fully gave up my dream. The fact that even now, I'm still working towards my goal. I'm still pushing myself to be the best I can be, at what I do, to enjoy every minute of it, and to unleash the potential that lies within myself and my band.
So, I thank you Markiplier. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
(A little side note, I've even thought about making a gaming channel myself! As a little part time hobby. :P)
But once again. Thank you so much for your continuation to help make this world a better place. To help make people realize their true potential. To help make people's dreams come true. And for the continued daily two videos of content you provide us to make our days that little bit extra awesome!
So thanks again, for taking the time to read this. It means a great amount to me. Congrats again on reaching 9 mil! And as always...
(P.s. I plan to draw you some fan art, so stay tuned for that! :D)
