So I just wanna talk for a sec today about the show Queer Eye, A.K.A. one of the greatest shows of all time. The things that these 5 gay guys do for the average American is truly impressive, and I think it's important to start by talking a bit about the show for those of you who DON'T know what Queer Eye is. Basically, the premise is that these 5 gay dudes (Tan, Antoni, Jon, Karamo, and Bobby) go around helping different people take their life from the stagnant place it's currently in, to somewhere they can be happier and live life to a fuller extent. Each of the 5 helps out in a specific area of the person's life (fashion, cooking/diet, grooming, culture, and home). As I am sitting here, I am watching season 3 and am VERY close to crying my eyes out. For instance, in the very first episode ever aired was about a middle-aged white dude in Georgia, divorced and unable to even look at himself in the mirror and smile. By the end of the episode, he was able to say that he thought he looked good and was happy with what he saw in the mirror. The amount of confidence that they are able to instill in him is inspiring, and even just watching this show has taught me so much. I have never been the confident type whatsoever (even if I come off as such, it's like a defense mechanism), but watching the transformations these people go through really helps me to see how I can better myself. I never thought that watching another person evolve could help me, but it opened up my eyes to the struggles that so many people go through. We as people are different, but it doesn't matter where you came from, everyone can go through life with problems, and more often than not, people do. Humans are problematic beings, full of insecurities and issues, so it's truly special to me to see even one person being helped. What these 5 are doing is amazing and I believe that every single person should watch Queer Eye. You can always learn something, and Queer Eye is always happy to teach.
This show got me feeling hella emo and just in an overall dummy emotional mood. It feels so amazing to see these transformations and to then look back on my own transformation through the years. I am so happy with the change in person I have gone through during these past few years and how much more confident I have become. Life can be shit sometimes but learning how to push past that can lead us all to become the best version of yourself. Also shit that episode just ended and I am sitting here bawling in my chair because of how beautiful this show is. Please watch this shit you straight, gay, and everything in between motherfuckers.
