    I almost cried when Zach said Eugene looked strong, that was such a sweet moment. It's nice to see both of them where they are now given how hard it's been in the past

      I actually cried and I agree... That was sweet and it is amazing to see such differences in those two photos being acknowledge by Zach. Being able to express yourself and who you trully are with close friends is such an empowering moment, especially when they recognised themself the fact that you have grown stronger because of your experiences and congratulate you for being who you desire to be and the difficulties you had to encounter. (sorry for the quality of my english and the long comment ! xD Have a great day btw

      Absolutely. *My* parents got divorced when I was in middle school, and my mother took me and my brother back to her home town. I knew no one there, I was just hitting puberty, and I seemed to have lost the ability to make new friends. So I would just sit against the fence at recess and cry. But now I can imagine my current self sitting down next to that little girl and telling her it'll be okay, I understand everything she's going through, and she's going to have a really weird and amazing life one day.

      I know this sounds cliché, but it has a lot to do with the people around you and how comfortable you are with them. From I was 3-18 I only had one person I saw as a real friend. He's still my best friend today, but during my boarding school year (in Denmark we have a special type of boarding schools which like 1/3rd of the population go to one for 1-3 years)
      That year I learned that there are other people as weird as me and they accepted me for who I was, so when I went to high school I was so extremely lucky as to randomly ending up being paired with this one classmate who befriended me and introduced me to her amazing group of friends!
      I'm still really bad around people in general but this one group of friends I'm extremely comfortable around and I feel so relaxed it barely drains me to be with them even though I'm very introverted
      Anyway, what I mean to say with this little story is, I've been where you are and I have hope that one day you will find "your people" - hang in there😊

    Zach: “I can see the sadness behind your eyes in this photo, and (now) it’s gone. You look strong.”
    I started tearing up IMMEDIATELY. Thank you Eugene for being who you are and being such an amazing role model for everyone who gets to see a piece of your journey.

      Same! It was eloquently put, Zach got it just right.
      The more Eugene shares of his history, the more I see the story of a tightly-closed bud blooming slowly but surely into a rare beautiful flower.

    Honestly, I really like how Eugene shares his personal experiences and what was going on in his high school. Sure I might be late and the only person thinking this but, Eugene is very open and I like him that way.
    And so does Zach. I'm proud of them.

    Edit: Wow thank you so much for all the support... I was having a really bad day and coming home to this.. just ugh, thank you
