Ok, quick update because I just have to...
Joey Graceffa.
One of the first YouTubers I subscribed to just came out in the most gorgeous music video ever. It's absolutely amazing!
Check out Joey's music video below, in which there's a bit of cheeky tongue action!

It's been years since the first video of his that I watched, and I am so utterly proud of him. And my respect towards him is sky high now - it takes so much courage and is so draining living life hiding away.
I mean, I'm no good with sentimental words and expressing myself. To be honest, I'm speechless. I'm not like those people who gush wonderful things about him in the comments, I don't have the best words to describe what I'm feeling.
But I can tell you that I'm so proud of him. Yes, it's a common thing to say...I 'stole' this from more than 4.5 million people...but it's the truth. Him coming out was so brave and done in the most perfect and creative manner. I'm glad that he has overcome his monsters, and in doing so has probably inspired many others to do the same. To live so much of your life being teased for who you are, and to overcome the struggles whilst still remaining true to yourself- that's one of the most admirable things.

The video itself is pure perfection. The storyline is personal to Joey, with many references to his mum's alcoholism, bullying and obviously the scrumptious gay smooch at the end, but it's also kinda generic and relevant to everyone. It's about finding yourself and not letting others dictate your life, about overcoming monsters, both inner and outer.
It's just the most perfect thing.

Anyway, sorry if I bored you if YouTube isn't your thing, I just really had to talk about this. YouTube means a lot to me ('too much' is more accurate!) and I have those few original YouTubers who I've stuck with since my first discovery - Joey being one of them.
I know this isn't a great post - as I said, me and writing about feelings isn't a great mix. I had to try though ;)

I have to go now - I spent way too long trying to write this
I love y'all, and goodbye!
And remember:
Don't wait!
