    This is going to sound like the strangest thing, but: My Grandpa was basically a slightly shorter (6'5") gray haired Rhett in appearance and attitude. It's been three years to the day since my dear Grandpa died, such was the likeness of Rhett to my Grandpa that I couldn't watch GMM for the next year, despite having been a Mythical Beast since 2015. Got back into it, but still.
    This feels like something my Grandpa would've said if he were born in more recent times. How he'd have made everyone laugh. For a split second it felt like my Grandpa was back. I'll never truly see my Grandpa again, none of my massive family ever will. But he was there in Rhett's speech. I'm thankful for that as I endure another difficult year.

    Sometimes we take mythical for granted as it's just like a daily vitamin I try to take every day. Rhett and Link are way more than just two best friends who do crazy shit online. They are dad's, they are husbands, they are musicians, they are comedians and they are creatives. When you get to see the real life Rhett or Link it's way more genuine and honest than the characters they play on gmm. Knowledge is power and life is a garden, dig!?!

    I did not go to college, but I do occasionally watch rhett and link so I'm here.
    He posed an interesting question.
    Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
    For me, probably dead not gonna lie.
    The world is falling apart around us at a rapid rate and I'm not sure there's any fixing it without some seriously major casualties across the board.
    But, assuming I don't die, and everything goes well, I'll have written and published a book, and I'll be working a steady job, likely in retail because....
    Well I didn't go to college so.
    XD
    I may or may not be with my parents I haven't a clue.
    The truth is my life isn't all that interesting and probably never will be.
    In fact it's been pretty depressing for a good amount of time now, entirely my fault but I can't exactly fix that now.
    Not all of us can be as interesting and entertaining as Rhett and link.
    I am not one of those people who can be.
    Which does bother me, because I always want to do more, but never seem to know how or where to begin.
    I'm uncertain I have a calling, something specific to do in this life, but I do know that I'm not that bad at writing, not that good either but not bad.
    And not bad is a step in the right direction, I hope.
    I'm never very sure of much of anything I do.
    Anyway that's my 12 AM thoughts for ya. Lol
    Enjoy the chaos that is my mind. :P

    @TriggyGMT Рік тому +14

    His talk was from the place of a guy who had already made it in this world from a successful 'youtuber' standpoint with his own celebrity status and his rise to fame being one half of a entertainment performing duo. His aura was that of a man who got the attention of the whole graduation ceremony when he took the mic from the holding position it was placed in and let his voice carry around the room on and off the stage. Kind of got the feeling too he would rather not be up on the podium and his remarks at the end were quite at odds of the high praise that students would expect to hear as in graduation cermonies such as this it usually centres on achievement and opportunities that arise when you worked up on your degree and hoped it would amount to a bigger cause afterwards. Think he went off on a different tangent at that point.

His point was to illustrate that even though everything might not go as planned, you can still be happy and successful and use your degree in so many different ways (like he did). You'd rather him say "Wow, you got a degree! Now everything is always gonna be great forever, and your life is perfect, and no complications will come up!".
