00:00I'm sitting in the dark right now just staring at my phone screen. One of you
00:05left a comment saying, we're with you Didi, keep going. I think I've been crying
00:12for the last 10 minutes. If you're new here, hi! A few days ago I made my first
00:19video in complete secret. I'm the girl who lives on a permission-only basis, the
00:25girl who literally has to ask her mom for permission just to drink a glass of
00:30water. In the real world, my voice has been completely shut down. I thought if I
00:37posted my story on the internet, it would just get lost in the void. Instead, 20 of
00:44you subscribed. 20 real people decided to hold my hand. A lot of you might be
00:51wondering, if I am so heavily restricted, and if getting caught would ruin my life,
00:57why am I taking this risk? Why am I making these videos? The truth is, I have a
01:04younger sister. Right now she is still young, but lately I can see it starting.
01:11The subtle scoldings. Don't laugh so loud. Sit properly. Keep your head down and don't
01:18argue. I watch them slowly building the exact same invisible cage around her that
01:25they built around me. And it terrifies me. I couldn't save myself from going
01:31completely silent. But I realize something. If I just accept this, if I stay quiet, she
01:39will grow up thinking that asking for permission to simply exist is normal. I have
01:45to show her that a voice exists outside this house. So, to the people who commented
01:52and subscribed, thank you. You didn't just give a silence girl a channel. You gave an
01:58older sister the courage to finally speak. If you want to help me break this silence,
02:05please stay with me. Subscribe. I need you guys now more than ever.
