I love how everything meant so much to him and he really learned from these things

"phase to phase lifestyle" I like that phrase. He likes the color red. For me, that color is purple.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how he said how he changed his definition of family because many people think its just biological but connections you have with people can be even stronger than a biological relation.

# data[].attributes.body
Phase to phase lifestyle! I also did that. Also, I think every little kid believed they had superpowers at one point. I was convinced I could fly, personally.

I get the "uncle without family" thing. I have an uncle who's good friends with my dad.

# data[].attributes.body
phases-> theme: red
power rangers-> my favorite show
pool parties were awesome: i agree
"uncle" michael
i also wanted super powers

I like the lightheartedness, but also having a serious tone of what was done. Having a serious conversation with humorous undertone rounds off the conversation. I like how he interacts with the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked his sense of humor, and I feel that he did a great job of portraying how he felt when he realized that he made a mistake.

# data[].attributes.body
I could hear him smiling

# data[].attributes.body
i really like christians sense of humor it is very lightening to the mood of the situation even towards the end

# data[].attributes.body
I like his humor. He seems like a pure soul

# data[].attributes.body
That's a very touching ending. I think striving to get his respect was a nice gesture, and it's nice that they cared for each other that much.

I understand worrying about being judged and avoiding any situations were one might be judged. Fedora! lol. seeing someone in a different light is a cute addition to the story.

# data[].attributes.body
His story is so relatable to me because I understand not wanting to dance and be judged about his dancing

# data[].attributes.body
being judged isn't fun but chicken is tasty

# data[].attributes.body
I love how it started of being very scary for him on the dance floor and he came around full circle and as he said stepped into the light and learned to dance. confidence is key.

# data[].attributes.body
He tells it so simply, was so relatable, and the crowd was so supportive and I could hear how proud he was of himself through the audience's response.

# data[].attributes.body
It was relatable I missed a lot of things  because of situations like this.

# data[].attributes.body
Its a serious story, but the humorous undertones made it fun and entertaining to listen too. The humorous and letting herself laugh at her jokes really lightened the mood.

# data[].attributes.body
I could hear how nervous she was, but she tells it so truthfully and is transparent on what she does and doesn't remember

# data[].attributes.body
her younger brother reminds me of me a little bit. a serious story but she attempts to be humorous

# data[].attributes.body
Her younger brother sound similar to mine a little bit, with the video games, except he has a tablet. It's interesting how many things she did to try and fit in with her peers.

# data[].attributes.body
"trying to hide it so much is only hurting me" I think that's such a broad emotion that people feel when hiding behind a mask and i like how it all came together

# data[].attributes.body
I love the humor behind it, and I love the part about her brother because it reminds me of my brother.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of finding yourself, I relate to something always getting in the way of something you want to do. fear motivates is a theme here but I really love how she overcame that. This was a really great story, she circled back to looking gay, which was mentioned in the beginning. A great way to end

# data[].attributes.body
That feeling of disappointment is understandable. I'm glad that she was able to go

# data[].attributes.body
I felt that about the cake. I love the role her mom ends up playing in her ability to go to the parade! I've been to a pride parade and it definitely looked like how she described.

# data[].attributes.body
The overall determination to power through and go to the parade despite the challenges is really admirable.

# data[].attributes.body
I love her mom saying what she said it reminds me a lot of my sister because she is kind of like my second mom.

# data[].attributes.body
its so sad how much of a common issue this is so i am glad she talked about the fears that lgtbq+ feel even when they have the chance to celebrate also the importance of "looking gay" is so significant because of society's idea so this resonated with me a lot.
