I'm just a firm believer in being yourself and accepting yourself for who you are and loving yourself.
00:06
The person I think that's most impacting me today is my mom.
00:33
We've gotten really close over the past couple months and her strength just continues to
00:38
inspire me every single day.
00:48
He was abusive.
00:52
He was mean, but he wanted to be a good person.
01:12
We found lots of fun things with one, two, three, four sides.
01:31
Millions of people comment about your body, about the way you look, your skin, your talent,
01:37
who you're dating, who you're friends with, who you're feuding with and you're just like,
01:41
should I be a teenager?
01:42
Like, nope.
01:43
In the process of getting to where we are, that's when you really have to know who you
01:57
are and you have to have thick skin and really, you know, just a strong family to back you
02:02
up and, you know, we're who we are because of what we've been through.
02:22
There was an incident that happened in South America and that was kind of my rock bottom
02:27
and I basically, when that happened, my family was like, you need to go get help and I didn't
02:33
want to, but at the same time, I knew it was best for me, so I went and that's when I went
02:38
and that's when people were like, you know, you need to get help, but before then, I don't
02:42
think people realize the severity of the problems and the issues that I had.
02:58
He wasn't able to function very well in society and so that happens to a lot of people.
03:12
When I started to raise awareness around mental health, my goal was to simplify the
03:19
conversation and to break down the barriers that are placed around it.
03:35
The more that you're vocal for yourself and also others, the more that people can help
03:40
you.
03:51
All of my guy friends when I was younger were gay and it was just something that was natural
03:54
and so when I, and it wasn't really accepted in the South, in Texas, and I watched how
04:03
people would treat them.
04:22
I feel like you can use things to cope in life and music has been a huge coping mechanism
04:29
for me.
04:30
It's been very therapeutic for me, but there's only so much that music can do before you
04:33
have to take responsibility and you have to take the initiative to get the help that
04:37
you need.
04:50
I had three strokes.
04:52
I had a heart attack.
04:54
My doctors said that I had five to ten more minutes.
05:05
I feel that this vest represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows
05:10
me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am and still am discovering.
05:19
All of this is great and it's beautiful and I'm lucky and I'm blessed and I'm grateful,
05:25
but I've learned that clearly if all of this made you happy, I wouldn't have ended up where
05:32
I did.
05:34
My success does not measure my happiness.
05:39
When I think about what makes me happy today, I think about my family.
05:43
I think about my friends.
05:44
I think about my team.
05:46
I think about people, connections, soul connections, meaningful relationships, exactly.
