Change In The World

Earlier this week Ingrid Nilsen, a beauty guru that I have been subscribed to for quite a long time, came out as a lesbian. During all of the time that I was subscribed to her channel every time I watched one her videos I felt like something wasn't really there, now she finally let it all out and it's amazing, because she didn't only have to tell her close ones, but she had to tell this to a much larger audience.


Basically what I think is that, at least from what I can recall, she is the first female Youtuber of that scale, she has appeared in project runway and was featured in magazines, that has come out as gay. As soon as she first said it in her video you can absolutely feel all of the range of emotions that she is feeling, it nearly made me cry.

Truth is, that after seeing this video it made me want to look forward even more to her future video, we can finally meet the real Ingrid.

So, how can this actually change the world?

Because Ingrid was the first beauty guru to come out she is inspiring us to be ourselves, to not worry about what other people will say about us, and this will change the world because at least people from my generation, the youtube generation (at least that's what I think), will finally have someone that is that close to us, someone that we watched everyday that we arrived from school. Yes, the likes of Joey Graceffa, Connor Franta and Troye Sivan have come out, but they are not women, you can say all about gender equality, but it's not the same, we have to see a female figure that conquers her fears, and I think that Ingrid can become the new figure of change.

In her video she said "I want to live my life unapologetically, because I'm proud of who I am", that was the most powerful thing she said for me in the video, this can not only apply to this sort of situations, but because of this video she made me realize that we can't live repressed by the things that are around us, if we want to do something, we have to do it, if we want to love someone, love anyone, we have to live an “I want to live my life unapologetically, because I’m proud of who I am,” she says. and fearless life, and I know that I'm not there yet, but I hope that I get there one day.
