I have been following you since you had 10K and I always hoped you would make merch!! I’m so happy you finally did!
From a young age, I knew I was gay. However, I never let myself feel that or share it. Besides being a shy child, I also had severe anxiety. Although I was terrified to put myself out on social media, I had a strong desire to make people happy and laugh. TikTok became my safe place where I could do this, as well as express the part of me I had kept hidden for so long. When my followers started asking about coming out advice and LGBT topics, I answered them as best I could and quickly realized I was making a small difference in people’s lives. That led to the realization that I myself needed to come out to my family.
Through this journey of learning to share who I am with the world, I have met so many people going through similar experiences. I received countless messages and comments from people saying that I helped them come out or made them feel like they were safe to express who they are. It was one of the most beautiful feelings I have ever felt. The love and support was overwhelming. I am so grateful for every human, alien, and unicorn that has stuck with me and supports my “Happy Universe” message!
