Thank you for living your truth, @danielhowell. You've helped me live mine, too.

[illustrated YouTube notification: “Daniel Howell uploaded ‘Basically I’m Gay’”]

Five years ago today, I was lying on the couch in my family home, watching the words of a person I had grown to find pieces of myself in as he bared his soul to the world just to make somebody like me feel a little less alone.

He said something at the end of that video,

[Illustrated video screenshot of Dan saying “You are valid. It gets so much better.”]

And I’ll never forget hearing those words. Never forget drying my tears, quickly, before my parents came back.

See, the girl on that couch was planning far, far away futures. She couldn’t believe his words just yet, but now she could hope to.

Five years later, today, I wish I could tell her:

You don’t have to move halfway across the country to set a flag out on your desk.

Your parents are coming over tomorrow to help bring you home for the summer. (They’re only an hour’s car ride away.)

And see that?

Yeah, that’s the one decoration you haven’t packed yet. 

And that something he said at the end of the video, I still quote it to this day.

Better yet, I believe it now.

Happy five years of Basically, I’m Gay!
