The positive reception I have received from people seeing the video shows me I made the right decision is agreeing to do it, though I was initially hesitant. I say these words in a 16-minute video I did for FLOSports for Pride month, talking about my journey as a rugby player and gay man. Try to work on liking yourself before loving yourself. If you don’t give yourself a shot to like yourself, it’s going to be a really hard life. That pride in realizing who you are - you look at yourself and say, “I am that guy, I am that girl and I’ve gone through a lot to get here.” It’s so easy in this world to be hard on yourself without understanding how far you’ve come.
