Hi, friends! We’ve been on YouTube for almost three years now, and in that time, some of our absolute favourite comments have been the ones where people say, “I started off identifying with this label, then I tried out this label, but I’ve finally figured where I fit!” For queer folks, the journey to discover our identity often isn’t a straight line. We try out different identities, then learn more about ourselves and try out new identities! And that’s okay! It’s more than okay! It’s beautiful! And if there’s one thing I want you to take away from this video, it’s that it’s totally okay to experiment with different labels until you find the one that works for you.
This video, named after the 2018 hit movie “To All the Boys I’ve Been Before,” is essentially a Part 2 to the coming out video I made back in 2018. When I made that video, I was so scared that people would send their hate my way for daring to come out and be my most authentic, true self that I ended up *not* being my most authentic, true self. I pretended to be a lot more confident and assured than I really was. I did my best not to allow for any ambiguity or nuance when, in reality, there was so much ambiguity and nuance that should have been allowed for. So in this video, I reflect on all of the different labels I’ve identified with in the past, talk about the labels I identify with now, and explore the possibility of new labels that might resonate with me in the future! ~Maddie
