In this YouTube Short, the speaker reflects on over seven years of being raw and unfiltered online. She recounts how early on she took for granted the welcoming community she found in her own online bubble, assuming all spaces would be similarly supportive. A severe bout of anxiety and spiraling made her realize that rawness and openness require bravery, and that such vulnerable spaces must be actively protected and nurtured rather than assumed. The monologue emphasizes the importance of recognizing vulnerability as a superpower and the responsibility to safeguard inclusive environments.

This one was surprising to me. The biggest curveball was I've been doing this probably more than 7, 8 years at this point, on and off. And I was so raw and unfiltered in the beginning, which is great. That's what you want. But I really took for granted that rawness that, you know, in my own bubble online, I had this community and I felt so, you know, at home and accepted. And I just took that everywhere and I took for granted Not all spaces are that welcoming. And I think the most surprising thing for me was I had been in this environment, and it doesn't really matter which environment it was, but, you know, I became acute— it was multiple environments at once, and I became acutely aware that this is a beautiful thing that needs to be protected and nurtured, and you can't take it for granted. And I just remember I, I had a really bad bout of anxiety, um, and I was going— I was kind of spiraling out, and it hit me like— I'm so raw and I'm out there and what, you know, and I got over it, right? But it made me appreciate that there is a bravery to exist openly that you can't take for granted and we have to protect.
