I kept smiling even when things weren't funny, because honestly, I was scared people would criticize me again. But do you know what you did for me? Just having you stay quietly by my side was enough. I feel like I can finally show you my true self. This content is not intended to disparage any YouTubers.

'Stop acting,' 'Stop lying,' 'Why would you feel that way?'
That's all I ever heard growing up. From then on, even if it wasn't funny, even if I wasn't happy, I started smiling...*
