Phan Girl

Today has been genuinely one of the most emotionally overwhelming days of my life which I know is insane. First off I’d love to say that Dan's bravery is so inspiring and will resonate with so many people of the LGBTQ+ community. I am genuinely sooooooo unbelievably happy for him and only want his happiness. Personally, I was one of the people who was absolutely obsessed with the idea of #phan being a reality but over time and as I matured I came to the conclusion that it really didn’t matter and as long as they were happy so was I. Watching Dan come out to the community in such a way that is true to him is a genuine privilege and I couldn’t be happier for anyone as I am right now. I am a cis, straight, white, female and therefore I could never truly understand the emotional struggle Dan was going through throughout his life, but I will never stop advocating for those who do not have a voice because I want a world that loves everyone regardless of sex, gender, sexuality or race. Now to get to the part I am genuinely ashamed of... as Dan said that he and Phil were “more than friends” “share a beautiful relationship” and “are soulmates” the obsessed crazed fan I suppressed for two years which led to me deleting Tumblr entirely completely came back full force. This is not something I’m proud of and is definitely not what I take from the video, however what I am truly celebrating is that I know they are both comfortable, safe and happy. All I genuinely want is the best for them in every way and I will always truly be a Phan girl <3
