00:00I was terrified. I was like, people are going to judge me.
00:03People are going to say all these things.
00:11I didn't come out in my own terms.
00:13Like, I accidentally came out on TikTok because one of my videos went viral.
00:21But I did come out to some of my friends and some of my family members.
00:27Because when I came out to them, I think it's because I felt like I was growing up lying to
00:38myself.
00:38And it hurt every single day.
00:41As the day goes by, it kind of just hurts, like, hiding who I actually am.
00:46Pretending like I'm this to a friend.
00:48Pretending like I'm a real self to my friend.
00:52But when it comes to my family, I have to act straight.
00:55I have to act like I have to have, like, a deep voice or something.
00:59But with my friends, I can be myself.
01:02So I came out to my family because of that.
01:04Like, I was like, why am I kind of, like, two-sided?
01:08Like, why am I a personality in front of my friends and in front of my family?
01:14Why can't I just be one?
01:16I was terrified.
01:17I was like, people are going to judge me.
01:19People are going to say all these things.
01:24But they didn't.
01:25Like, it was just some of them.
01:28Most of them, actually a lot of them, was very supportive and very respectful and accepting.
01:37And I'm very happy for that because I never thought that it would be like that.
01:43Because I always thought, like, if I came out, it would, it was going to be hell for me.
01:49But it's not.
01:50I'm, I'm definitely happier now that it's happened.
01:53And it was from my, it was from my aunt, one of my aunts.
02:00She was like, I'm so glad, nah, nah, come out, guy, you're so brave.
02:05And I, like, she said that she kind of knew that I was like that.
02:11And she, she was just very nice.
02:13She told me that I was beautiful and I don't have to be scared anymore.
02:25She told me that I was like, I'm so brave.
