- Hey everybody, my name is Tyler Oakley,
and today is my birthday.
Woooo!
I'm another year older,
and I am happy about it.
Actually, you know what, when people are all like upset
that they're another year older,
I'm like, why?
That's like an accomplishment.
You outlived more people.
So this year was really good.
It was better than the last.
I feel like going into my 27th year,
only positive vibes.
I feel like I am just at the beginning of my life.
I really, honestly, I do.
When everyone's like, "Oh, you're old, you're a grandpa."
I'm like, bitch, I'mma fucking live for like 150 years,
so this is just like step one.
I am just like in like moment one of my life.
I am just a baby yet.
I still got a whole lotta life to live.
And I feel like I've barely done just like
the tip of the iceberg of what I wanna do with my life,
so things are good,
got things to do.
Y'all don't have to do anything crazy for me
for my birthday, but if you'd like to,
if you'd like to give me a gift,
I would love it if you donated to the Trevor Project.
The link is below for a little campaign
I'm putting together.
There's no prizes or goals or anything crazy,
but if you wanna donate,
it will help them save lives,
and I feel like, if I can use my birthday
to help other people get more of their birthdays,
that would be a cool thing,
so donate below if you'd like to.
It's really weird to think about the fact that
I started YouTube when I was 18 years old,
and now I'm 27.
That's like a lot of my life.
That's nine years?
Is that right?
Yeah, nine years.
That's a third of my life.
A third of my life?
A third of my life I've been on YouTube.
That's nuts.
27 years ago, me, peeking out.
You don't wanna see that, no?
Well, it's on the internet.
I went to go get balloons for my birthday,
but all I could find were these
get well (laughing) soon balloons,
so I guess if you are hurting
'cause I've lived through this year,
you were hoping I wouldn't,
get well soon, bitch!
Also, happy birthday to Reese Witherspoon
who never replies to my birthday tweets.
I'm always like, "Happy birthday, Reese."
She never replies, so this year, Reese,
girl, I just want you to have a good birthday too, OK.
I'd like to thank everyone who helped me through it.
26 was sometimes a struggle,
but I fucking did it.
OK, so that's all I have for you today.
I know this was really quick.
If you are having a birthday coming up soon,
I hope it is splendid.
And if you're not then I don't know how
that's possible because one comes every year.
How did you come to this Earth? (laughs)
Anyway, I love ya.
Have a good life.
I'll see you guys soon.
Bye!
(bright music)
27 is going to be
a year of fun, (laughs)
wow, really dreaming big there.
I'm also gonna do things and accomplish things.
I'm really gonna realize things.
I'm gonna do that.
