my brother, who is so young and so old at the same time, sat and watched this with me tonight. he held my hand as i sobbed. i told him about pride and why it was so important to me. i told him about all of the kids at school who made fun of me and how we celebrate pride because there are so many countries where people can’t celebrate pride.

thank you, dodie, for making the last day of pride a one to remember.

@Porter Magnus It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
<br>Thank you so much you saved my ass!

i hope you get through school alright, i am so proud of you

It is only the last day of Pride month, friend. Keep being proud.


"But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be this way"
Oof. Beautiful, Dodie ❤

good to know that im not the only dodie fan that says "OoF"

I read that as soon as she sang it! Haha!


“I was brought up in a line, but I seem to walk in circles.”

“It’s getting hard to navigate when every map was never made for me.”

“And I thought it’d feel good to understand why I was different.”

“But to say that I’m a rainbow. To tell me that I’m bright, when I’m so used to feeling wrong. Well, it makes me feel alright.”

These plucked at my heartstrings. Definitely can relate.

"My title just talks over me, I never even asked to be this way."

"How can I be proud of what a million people shout at me?"


This doesn't just fit my feelings on my sexuality, it fits every diagnosis a doctor has ever put on me, it fits my aspergers, it just fits.

Same here with my auto ammune disorder its hard but you'll get there its going to fine


this is so beautiful and it hits very hard<br>dodie i will never cease to be amazed by how much you continue to grow as an artist and songwriter and the positivity you spread with your music is so unbelievably inspiring <3

this is gonna be sappy but whatever um ive been listening to your music for 6 years and it sounds strange but ive grown with it. whenever you put out a new song seems to be just when i need it the most. this song is no exception. thank you for being so raw and helping me (and probably so many others) to navigate through feelings and through life. your music is so special. ilu


you are all rainbows
you all light up the sky
you are all unique
you are all brave
and you all deserve love


To anyone who reads this and is having a hard time coming out/after coming out.
It'll be okay one day
Keep going
Keep trying
I love you.

Thank you, just thank you I know this was literally a year ago but this really helped.

Thank you. This comforts me more than words can express.

I luv you so much for this :)... thx for the support x)

Okay thank you so much. My siblings were just talking about how “disgusting” it was that my friend is pansexual and dating a girl. I really wanted to defend her, but I’m scared of speaking up. I myself am pansexual so I guess it wouldn’t be too good if they found out since I’ve heard how strongly they’re against it. My mother also told me that if I ever came out to her, I’d be disowned. I’m not wanted within my family, but at least I have a few friends who support me. I’ll keep trying, but I might never come out to my family because it seems too hard. It was scary enough when I told my friends.

Snowdrop Toad Thank you I really needed this 😊


And they were never seen or heard from again xD


I love how every single line in this song is featured in the comments at least once as the line that resonates the most with someone.... like every line in this song speaks to someone else in a different way and that's what makes dodie's songs always so great, the lyrics are so concrete that every sentence means something but also so diverse that they all convey a different message and aaaah it's so good


*_i don't even know what my sexuality is and this song gives me meaning cause i QUESTION A LOT_*

hey its me three year late IM TOTALLY GAY

major tom Take your time, figuring out what it means to be you takes a while and that’s okay. There’s no rush!

even if it isn't right now, everything will be okay eventually ^^ i wish you the best and remember that no matter what happens, dogs will always be excited and happy to see you

major tom And that's totally okay! I struggled quite a bit with my identity, told my mom about how I felt. She told me to just live my life and the answer will come, or not and that's fine too. I feel like a lot of people nowadays put tons of pressures on labels. Labels ,of course, can be very important to some people (which is fine). If for some reason you never find that perfect label for you, it's okay! Your feelings are still valid and there's no pressure to find out exactly "what" you are. You are you ❤💛💚💙💜


Ummm can we get this on Spotify please? (I want to be able to download it so I can cry everywhere I go)

I FORGOT I MADE THIS COMMENT ITS FINALLY THERE

It will be next year on her new album so excited to get this song polished up

Good news! It's gonna be on her album next year!

You can download it on youtube. It's not the same,but...

She confirmed it in one of  Tessa's lives, it will be in the album :)

Chloe C I believe it’s going to be on there! She recorded it professionally a while ago!

She's got new music coming out soon! This might be one of the songs- I'm hoping She will be in this lot :-)


"I didn't think it fair
I was not to be trusted"
This part really gets me. I remember when I came out as gay early in the 5th grade, almost all of the girls looked at me like I was going to jump them any second. They suddenly thought that it was creepy for me to be freinds with them, to look at them, to say hello. One girl ignored me completely for more than a year and a half. Some would be afraid to touch me. Sure, the boys teased, yelled, and threatened, but when someone acts almost as if they are completely grossed out and afraid of you? It's the worst feeling to not be trusted because of who you may love. But; the people who stayed with me mattered the most. Saying "you have always been who you tell everyone you are, and it doesn't change a thing. Of course we still love you." Because whoever you are, you deserve love and trust from others. You deserve to be happy and love yourself for who you are. I love you too 💙

@oob I'm glad you've accepted yourself :) <br>I really want to be brave enough to accept myself. I've come out to my friends, and my ex ( we're still sorta friends) I'm really thankful that the Internet exists so that I don't feel so alone. For me, it's difficult because there isn't that much representation of people that are both Christian and LGBTQ+, Demi Lovato was the only person I could really find, and I love her for that. Im going through a lot right now, I just recently found out via my therapist that I have (or at least show a lot of symptoms of) derealization. Hence, why I'm back to Dodies videos. I'm going through a breakup, and I'm sort of stuck surrounded by homophobic family members, which is making my internalised homophobia worse, etc. We're all going through something, I'm sure you are too, but I'm really glad I have platforms, (even if it is just a yt comment section) to reach out to people that have been through something similar. Thank you for responding and making me feel less alone and saying that I will be loved, it's really simple, but I don't hear it often so thank you.  (self acceptence is difficult and I'm trying really hard to be happy lol)

I know that I'm late, but I figured out last year that Im bisexual. I still live with my parents, and we're all Christian, including me. Its really difficult, and I don't know what to do, I'm really scared, and your comment gave me a little hope that it gets better. Thank you 💛

oobi I relate to you i came out early 6th grade year at an all girls school and everyone including the faculty and staff were weird around me for the whole time I was there

I also had a best friend that I had since I was like four she never spoke to me again


The little sniffle at the end BREAKS ME OMG WE CAN CRY TOGETHER BABE


replay button: broken
eyes: moist

heart: filled with joy


Dearest Dodie, and all the other people reading this.
I know. Why would i write this here? I don't know, but i want to share it somewhere.
All my life i've been tested and tested. So many things are tried out on me just because my annelythics don't match up. I am smart but socially and acedemicly really not. And  i knew i was different but i had to hide it and not think about it. "Imitate the world and you'll be fine" they told me. So i did. And for many years it went fine. Until my mom proposed a thought, out of the blue. And i had an experience that i know some of you will reconize. I found out a word, a simple word. that finally gave me a home. No longer did i have to go from test to test. I found something what i could carry in my heart to know that i was not alone.
My mom proposed to me that i maybe had Asperger syndrome (a light version of autism rough said) It runs in my family and it wouldn't be suprising if i had it. So i did some research. And while reading about the symtoms i started crying. I had finally found a home. And yes, i know this song is about Bisexuality and LGBTQ+ but got me inspired to research more and look further in something that makes me feel like i'm not the only one with this exprience.
So thank you Dodie, for being the wonderful person you are and giving me hope and inspiration every day again. And thank you random person. for reading this weird love letter and life story. i hope you have a great day
(sorry for the grammar mistakes. english is not my first language and writing without spelling correction is hard sometimes)

this is exactly why the song resonates with me

I’m so proud of you! We all know what that home feels like here. Songs can be whatever you make them to be, that’s the magic of them. But I’m happy that you found your  home. Much love ❤❤

We all support you! And your english is great by the way!


"I never even asked to be this way." <br>That's right, I didn't ask. Every single day I wish I was straight, to not face this shame from my family, all the awkward stares from everyone, the shame I feel when I know I'll never be allowed into heaven. It hurts, but I'll stay strong. Because rainbows are a gift. We're all a gift from the heavens. It'll be okay. I'm not straight, but that's fine.

Darling, feelings aren't keeping you out of heaven. I'm going to say straight up that I don't agree that the gay lifestyle is healthy, but being gay in and of itself is not a sin and it's not your fault. Jesus loves you.

@Dragontimes Productions “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble” James 4:10

@sabrina I- No u shouldng pray to god about something u cant help and for loving people -

@sabrina but they should be proud of who they are and accept themselves

It will help to know that there is no proof of heaven or hell existing, and that's fine.

Things will be so much better one day you will look back at this time and realize that there are so many beautiful things to come. You are wonderful just the way you are, I know this time is hard esp if you are stuck at home with your family but I have been where you are and I want to tell you what I wish I knew and it's that things will be so much better and you will love every part of yourself even if it seems hard right now :)

It’s not only fine, you’re beautiful for being who you are. For accepting that part of yourself despite everything. You’re bright and beautiful and strong and I’m so proud of you.


I feel so freaking honored that I am alive when this beautiful human is also alive...  She will go down in history my peeps, I pray so


And 2 years later this song is finally official.


whoa, who’s chopping onions in this room and also releasing dust into the air and also raining on my cheeks?

Amazing song 👏💗💝💖🌈


(i’m late but oh well) i’m pan so i’ll give you a pan-slam and just give you a running hug from across the room and hopefully no one gets hurt

Esang G. You are a god my friend........


I’ve been put in a dark hole where no one could accept me for who i am, and me being in a religious household, a homophobic country, and a rough school made me think that there isnt hope, but me being a bright rainbow made bring light to others!!! This song made me realize that no matter what i am....im still a bright happy soul <3

Bryn Renee yes, i do what’s asked from me to do...religion wise. Also thnx <3

just curious- are you still religious even though you are a part of the lgbt community? also i am so happy for you :)

Danny stay strong and be proud to be yourself


This song brings me to tears every time. Every. Time. It’s one of those songs I feel like every LGBTQ+ person needs to hear. At the next GSA meeting at my high school I might try to play this for the other people there. If they have heard it then great they get to hear it again. If not, then great they get to hear it and it’s beautiful message that everyone in this community deserves to hear. <br>I hope this song will eventually be available on iTunes because it’s so beautiful.

Oh my gosh, seeing Thomas here does NOT help my sobbing. XD

Thomas Sanders me too thomas me too 💕💕💕💕😢😄

AWWW SAME
YOU’RE MAKING ME FEEL TOO MANY EMOTIONS DODIE
TOOMANY EMOTIONS

Hi Thomas! And yes you're so lucky to have a friend like dodie she's so damn talented!! And I'm also happy crying ah!!!

Thomas Sanders omg please do another collab with Dodie!!!!

ye! its my pure gay boi! ily.

also, im happy crying too.

Thomas Sanders Aww legends supporting legends!!

Get your emotions straight! Are you sad cause of toys r us or are you happy both y’all are making me cry rn


I came back to this song today because i’m now proud to be a part of the lgbtq+ community. when you first uploaded this song, i knew that i wasn’t straight but i was telling myself that i was because i was afraid that the people in my life wouldn’t accept me for being different. 2 months later i now fully accept myself and i’m proud to be a rainbow. Thank you Dodie for being the light in my life and making me feel loved and accepted. I love you so much 💖🏳🌈


damn. this is so good. you should release it, please.<br>I'm autistic (and LGBT+ too) but this fits perfectly for autistic people too. I just love it.

damn. this is so good. you should release it, please.
I'm autistic (and LGBT+ too) but this fits perfectly for autistic people too. I just love it.


I'm back listening to this and crying. I came out as trans and my parents are only kind of accepting. We won't talk about my gender, and my mom knows without me even telling her because my dad did. They keep telling other people instead of giving me the chance to. They won't call me by my chosen name or my pronouns or get me a binder, but at least they still treat me like they used to. I built up a support system of friends. But it's still hard. This song just speaks to me so much. For both my sexuality (I'm pan) and my gender, this song just perfectly shows how I feel


Dear dodie: I just want to thank you. I have both autism and add and whenever I’m overstimulated I lock myself in a dark room and put on your music and I eventually get better


im not part of the LGBTQ+ communitybut this makes me so sad for all my friends who are. i love you guys and i can’t even imagine how hard it is for you guys. you’re all so brave and beautiful and just ahhhhhhh please be safe and I wish you all the best. I hope you had an amazing pride month✨

Samantha Leones this was so sweet thank you we all appreciate it

I feel the same. I am pan but all my life I've barely been discriminated against.  I still know, though, how awful it is to most members of the community. People, who, all they want is to be themselves, but can't.  I wish I could somehow take in every single amazing person who's been kicked out of their homes because of their sexuality or gender. I want to find them all homes with people they love, people who'll accept them. I want to give them all the lives they deserve. I wish, that people who discriminate could get the message through their heads, that all we want is to be treated as who we are, human. No matter what race, gender, sexuality, religion, income, age, status, etc... maybe then, we'd all be better people, both the discriminatory and the discriminated alike.

Ahh damn I'm so grateful for allies like you guys. Thank you so much for validating us, and making us feel like we do belong. Y'all have hearts of gold, full of care and love. Ahh this made me so happy ✨💕

Samantha Leones I recently found out one of my friends was bi and she thought I would judge her but I am so proud!

thank you :,) it’s nice to know that there are allies and people that understand and recognize the struggles out there

Samantha Leones well technically if you have a sexuality you are apart of the LGBTQ+ community even straight people yes it’s not all just gay gay gay and yes straight people do have it easier in life than other LGBTQ+ peeps but we’re all apart of it!:)

I am an ally as well. I joined a love is love club at my middle school last year and the president, a transgender girl named Alx opened my eyes to the world of the LGBTQ community, and it forever changed my perspective on how I viewed people who loved the same gender or multiple. And all of the friends I met through that club who are lesbian, bi, or even pan, I always try to understand how they feel and do my best to be there for them, even with me being attracted to the opposite sex. My heart hurts for their pain of being different than the rest of the world, and the discrimination they face out of who they want to love.

Samantha Leones you’re literally the best ally I’ve ever seen thank you so much this makes me so happy 💕

Don't feel bad. With every word of hate, there is so much love. Somtimes you realise that that's what pride is about, love. Loving yourself and knowing that there are people who love you.

Samantha Leones thank you this comment actually made me cry and this vid

same, hon. hear, hear, for those who fight through colors.

Your an ally then I suppose, I am too, I always try to support and everything even if no one can see, we can help others just by doing simple things, like coloring a rainbow on a paper or drawing different flags or painting your nails flag or pride colors. We help them in small ways that at up to big ones

Samantha Leones my 10 yr old sister is bi and my heart hurts for her. just thinking about the struggles i know she’ll have to face in the future makes me want to protect her even more. not to mention the fact that we live in a smaller city and have homophobic parents.


I'm Bisexual and I can really relate to the song. It's hard to be proud and have confidence in yourself when a bunch of other people are saying that it's not normal or like the lyrics say "your not." I'm glad I came upon this because it does give a true message of how people are scared to be who they are and when one person tells them it's okay, we feel a little better.


I think dodie just verbalized everything about my sexuality that I could never figure out how to say.


Needed this cause lately I've seen some nasty things said about pansexual people💛❤💙

I was just on Instagram and this person gollowed me and they were pan-denying and it was literally heartbreaking to read some of the things she would put on there. Ive never been really upset over someone disregarding my sexuality because I don't care what other people think but that really got me. This song popped up on my YouTube almost literally right after and ive been crying since. ❤💛💙 pan pride

yeah, me too...<br>apparently we're biphobic?

yeah, me too...
apparently we're biphobic?

That's unfortunate..... we're just trying to be us man (I'm pansexual)

loxiety you are beautiful never change ❤

Awww stay strong girl don’t let them get to you

loxiety    i think pansexual people, bisexual people, gay people, lesbian people, and all of the other people are awesome, brave, and kind. especially you. and i want you to know that it will be ok. i hope you are having an awesome day, whoever you are :)


AHHHH THIS WAS RELEASED TODAY AND THIS VIDEO CAME UP ON MY FEEEEDDD!!! talk about perfect timing!! xx

My Old Trash Account That I Don’t Use Anymore


No one is going to see this, but I always come back to this song. From the time I listened to it as an "ally" to when I began to relate with this song. This song is how I came out. It continues to hold so much meaning to me. So thank you dodie. Thank you for this beautiful song that made me feel seen from the time I was newly out to now, when I have the best partner i could have asked for and am so proud to be me. Thank you.


Who's ready for that new single to drop?


a living bi legend also why am i getting 2013 dodie vibes from this song


This song is beautiful. Even though I’m still closeted to most people I know that the ones that mean a lot to me will accept me for who I am even though a lot of others won’t. I try to keep an ‘I don’t care’ mentality, but I know I will be hurt by that in the future. Honestly the hardest part of this was accepting myself for who I am. It was a long and confusing journey that made me feel so anxious and scared and alone. I have only now began to accept the fact that I don’t need labels, and that it’s ok to figure out things as I go. It’s really difficult sometimes, but I know I will always have communities like these to come to and be supported.<br>Thank you dodie.

Yes!! It's so amazing to see someone with as much influence as you write music about this stuff! I have just started recording my own songs on youtube, and lots of them are about my experience and coming out as non-binary. You're such an awesome inspiration!


Please can this be put on Spotify, please please please

Revisiting all the songs after build a problem announcement
👁👄👁


I know you didn't write this for someone like me, but it really spoke to me. I'm a white, cis-gendered, heterosexual man. I also have Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder,  Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder with dissociation, Social Anxiety Disorder, and was most recently diagnosed with Conversion Disorder. Every day I wake up to a panic attack and go to sleep the same way. I generally can't sleep for more than an hour or two before my anxiety wakes me up. Roughly twice a week right now panic attacks turn into seizures that involve me pulling muscles and slamming my head and other body parts into whatever is near me due to how violent the seizures are. I can't leave my room without having a panic attack, and the danger of having a seizure in a public place like a store or restaurant where sharp edges on shelves could mean I get seriously hurt or killed means I have to plan every outing extremely carefully and ensure, at all times, I can find a safe place to have a seizure where there's enough open space that I wont hurt myself.

I've been told by close friends, former employers and coworkers, and even the government on multiple occasions that all of this is my fault, that I need to just get better or stop worrying or stop feeling down. When I first got diagnosed, it felt good to finally have a name to what was wrong with me, but it quickly turned into people arguing that I didn't REALLY have these disorders, or that my version of them was lesser because I hadn't been beaten or hadn't been in war or a million other reasons. Despite over half a dozen doctors and therapists all agreeing this was real and drastically effecting my life, I am treated like I am lying and constantly have to prove, over and over again, that these disorders are not only real, but that I have to live with them every day.

So, hearing this song made me feel a little bit better for a bit. I totally understand feeling like every map wasn't made for me, and once one of my therapists told me that I was so incredibly strong to not give into the fear and depression every single day and it was like a light finally turned on after years of living in complete darkness, so being called a rainbow and being told I'm bright would mean the world to me. And then I saw what this song was actually written about, and I felt really bad for taking something to heart that wasn't meant for me.

So, I've got no clue if you or anyone else will ever read this. You've got 3400 comments on this post right now, so this one will be buried pretty far and is kinda long, so I wont blame anyone for not reading it. But, despite this not being written or meant for someone like me, I really needed to hear something like this. It's a beautiful song, and I'm sorry if my imposing my own problems onto it's message offends or upsets the people this song is meant for. But it made my life better for just a brief moment, and for me that's almost life changing. So thank you for this, and I hope my interpretation and personalization of the meaning isn't taken as offensive.

You are so incredible! Shine bright like the beautiful rainbow you are! I believe in you! You can do it! Stay strong because I know you can. Please, smile for me? 🙂❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Trainer Jodie ALSO, YOU ARE VALID, YOU ARE LOVED, YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON.

Trainer Jodie This is not an offense for anyone! Sending love and support to you! You deserve the world and more! It is true that this song has a especial meaning for the Lgbtq+ community, but it also has an especial interpretation for everyone who listens to it, no matter who they are. What I am trying to say is that is okay if these lyrics touched your heart, because that's what music is for, and that the community won't hate you for that! Lots of love for you ♡♡♡

You’re a rainbow, and you’re one of the brightest

Trainer Jodie Welcome to the family! You are incredibly strong, and I hope that you can get through this and get to a healthier mindset! Mental illness is a bitch, especially anxiety, but keep fighting it! We're rooting for you.

This song was meant for anyone going through hard times in their lives- anyone who feels different, anyone who is rejected. I don’t know you as a person, but I do know that if you can make it through this, that is a beautiful thing.

You, sir, are the brightest rainbow I have ever heard about.<br>Stay strong.

You, sir, are the brightest rainbow I have ever heard about.
Stay strong.

Stay strong, dude. You're fighting a hard battle, and you deserve all the love, hope, and support you can get.

Youre amazing! I'd like to think songs can be interpreted in any way, and this song is no different. You truly are a rainbow <3

You are strong, you are incredible, you are bright, and you are a beautiful rainbow. None of this is your fault, and I believe every word you have said. You deserve to have things like this to make it easier. ❤

Trainer Jodie You don't have to feel bad for finding something relatable about the song... Music isn't owned by anyone. Songs can be interpreted however people want to interpret them. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to apologize. I hope you find people that deserve you and deserve to be in your life and that you can get better. I have depression and anxiety disorder too and I know what it feels like to have to prove to everyone around you that you don't feel well. It sucks to be in situations like these but I know you can get better and find people who will love you if you stay strong and start thinking about what you want to change in your life and how you are going to achieve it. This world has more good than bad people. Have a great day everyone!! <3

I recognize myself a lot in what you're saying, I have some of the things you mentioned (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder etc) and at first I took this song as something that wasn't meant for me, because it's for LGBTQ+ people and I'm not one, but thanks to your comment I can see how this song can be for everyone who isn't believed to be "right" by society<br>But you're strong, and you keep going, and you are, we are, bright rainbows, so let's shine together !

Trainer Jodie Goodness knows you're a rainbow.

Trainer Jodie you're the brightest heckin rainbow out there

Trainer Jodie I see you, and I completely believe you. I know it doesn’t matter that I do, I just want you to know that someone saw your post and wholeheartedly took your words as truth, because they are. I have moderate depression and severe anxiety. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you when I have to pour my heart out for people to understand that mental health is just as important as physical health. Please stay safe, and I hope you are healing, however long it takes.

Things will turn around!! Hang in there. U got this

If it touches your soul and makes you feel happy, then it was meant for you. You ARE a rainbow, and you ARE bright.<br>Music is really wonderful.:) much love.

Trainer Jodie You are incredibly strong and absolutely a rainbow. I wish you all of the strength and happiness in the world ^^

That's the great thing about music and lyrics, it can transcend one meaning and become something people can relate to on a broader level, reminding us that whatever we're going through, how different our life experiences may be, we all feel the same way. Which may bring us closer to understanding each other a little more.

<333333 you deserve to be called a rainbow! This song is about having pain but how that can be a beautiful thing. Love u

Oh honey, you are a beautiful and vibrant rainbow. I couldn't even imagine going through these things. You are incredibly strong. DO NOT GIVE UP. This song, I believe, is meant for you too.


Well, I'm 13, so, I found out I was bi at 11, I started having a confusion the day in my classroom we played truth or dare and they dare me to kiss a girl, so I did, n I really like that kiss, but she was my closest friend, so I couldn't tell my friend about that I really like the kiss, well, i asked my mom i said this exactly words "i think i like girls",  we were in a car, alone,  so she convinced me that I only admired her and bisexuals didn't exist, and I felt really bad cuz time later I heard mi mom talking to my grandma that I was only trying to get attention, and i really wasn't, well,  i was so confuse so i started talking to a guy in my class, he told me that i should be proud, that he was proud of me for admitting that, i gave him a smile. Right now I'm really sure, and my mom doesn't know, my dad is homofobic, well, my mom says that the bisexuals are just pervert and when i talk about some gay couple, she only talk about how they have sex. Mom, you are making me sad, it's your fault every time i hurt myself cuz I thought I was going to hell the day I die, mom, not everything in this fucking world is sex, you got to mature, you are not a child anymore. Dad, the gays are not wrong, you are wrong, they mind is not stupid, your mind it is, the word bisexuals exist for a reason, you guys should worry more about me, and you should understand me or at least not say that things about the community, MY community

I'm 14 and bisexual, and my mom thinks the same way. I'm very lucky to have my auntie Christy, who even though she is very religious still supports me. Stay strong, sister, and never let those stupid homophobes bring you down 💖💜💙


I've started this comment half a dozen times, but I keep hitting backspace. <br>There are a bunch of things I want to say about this beautiful song, but the proper words keep escaping me so, I'll say this: Thank you, Dodie, this song made me feel a little less alone. ❤

i'm so excited that my comfort song is going to be on her album... i'm so proud of her wow


IT'S COMING OUT IN A STUDIO VERSION ON FRIDAY

I CAN'T WAIT


I cried to “she” in the guest room of my aunt’s house desperate to come out to my mom. Every conversation I had an idea of how I could mention it. The way my mom found out wasn’t the way I wanted and wasn’t the way I deserved. I cried to “she” in the guest room the night my mom and I screamed and fought in the living room of my aunts house. Now I have rainbow, a song to represent the growth and the bright happiness after the storm. My mom came out to me as bi. I am out as pansexual. We have grown so much and are best friends and very close. She learned more about sexuality and gender everyday. But this song. This song is so important. I’ve only heard it once and it already means so much to me.

Person I agree entirely. I’m so thankful for her and many other creators that use it for good and not selfish reasons. I try to do the same and help people with my music and I need to share more of my meaningful music. 💛💛💛💛💛

HannahKateBell i think it’s so cute that your mom came out and just ahh so precious

HannahKateBell AWWWW I'M SO GLAD YOU GUYS FIGURED IT OUT!

i’m crying so hard because of this comment.

HannahKateBell ngl this comment brought tears to my eyes. I'm pretty emotional rn


I am going to sob so much if this is the song that is coming out omgomg 😭🥰🥰🥰💕

I'm so ready to cry even harder over the studio version of this song


"how can i be proud of what a million people shout at me i'm not" you always know how to get to me

lydia ikr like just mind your own business if you don’t get it

@Landry McDowell it's the same for asexuality! hits hard damn

mcclamac 000 Dodie is bi and a lot of people say that bisexuality isn’t real because for whatever reason they can’t comprehend someone being able to like more than one gender idk

Lika wow I read this comment exactly when she sang it

Stay proud❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗🏳🌈

Stay proud❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗🏳🌈


As a trans woman the line " my title just talks over me, i never even asked to be this way" gets me right in the feels.


Pov: your here once more after rainbow being released yesterday


came back to this song a year later, now being out to my parents, but it still makes me cry and sob. Thank you for creating this masterpiece dodie.


“How can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I’m not”
As a trans guy, this is too relatable
Dodie, ur hurting my heartttt


wow... just wow
"my title talks over me" is so relatable
idk how you mean this lyric but i took it as...
i'm seen as "the bisexual kid" im in a town where that's still seen as a horrible horrible thing
i have very little friends, and my "squad" is very awkward around me
i wish people actually got to know me instead of just knowing my title

Ogopogo WhyCan'tMyLastNameBeRawrXD pan isn't a real thing tho

np sister, feel free to dm on instagram its siobhanallyson

Siobhan Allyson wow that means a lot thank you

To be honest, if your friends aren’t comfortable with who you are, they aren’t real friends

Acerbic Idiot yes!! do you have an instagram??

Kylie Jane love you <br>thought you subbed to me cause today i also got a heart from danandphilgames today

Kylie Jane love you
thought you subbed to me cause today i also got a heart from danandphilgames today

Little • Weirdo dm me!! do you have an instagram?

i'm sobbing thank you all so much this means the world to me love you all you will get through anything

When I came out it started a chain of other gays in my school to come out too so it makes me smile that i helped other lgbtq teens like me

Thank you for this comment. It’s so true and it is so inspiring. 🙂✌🏻🏳🌈

everyone here is so wholesome i love this

That's not good. You are so brave for actually coming out to your school in the first place. And I bet you're very strong and don't let those people bother you. I think I'm bisexual but I'm afraid my family and friends will just hate me. Stay strong. Good luck

I know how you feel lovey Im known as "the gay kid" in school but embrace it and who knows maybe theres a lil baby gay in town who hasn't figured out their sexuality yet or hasn't come out yet  that looks up to you! :) <3

Ashley
I have the same issue, but I'm pan. Most people don't know what that is, so instead of actually asking or researching they just take it as another word for Lesbian.

I'm just "a lesbian who says that I'm pan so I don't sound gay"

I "just want to be different" and I'm "just going through a phase"

It hurts more than people know.

Hi, dont mind me subscribing to you for that comment

I've never felt so connected to a person who has commented like this. I would actually like to get to know you because I don't have that many friends either.

this is beautiful❤✨
thank you for sharing your story x
i know many others who suffer from the same things


I’m sobbing you’re absolute perfection and a bicon all at once


“So say that I’m a rainbow, and tell me that I’m bright” - my next tattoo in celebration of pride 2019 💕💕


I have listened to this song a million times and I have cried so many times like wow, I can't get over how emotional this song really is. I've went through a lot of trouble with my feelings and this song reminds me that I'm still human and that I'm not alone ^w^ Thank you dodie for being that role model I could, and still can, look up to


i am so terrified of ever saying i am bisexual. i feel like people will just see me as that instead of a girl who sings in her bedroom and blushes easily.

i have not come out to anyone and every time i think about it my heart races and my eyes tear up from this pressure i am building.

so hi random beautiful friends. i am giannah. i am sixteen, i live in a small town in colorado, and i like guys and girls. it confuses me but i think guys are cute and girls are smokin.

please look beyond a label and get to know the person who has it. thank you for reading :)

Omg that with adhd (and sexuality and gender and gender expresion [sorry for all the ands im exited])

A year ago I read this comment and it made me cry because I was (and still am) in a very similar situation. I did come out to my mom and sister, but still have trouble with my social anxiety and telling anyone else. I don't know if you'll see this, but I was just genuinely wondering how you are currently doing, because you seem sweet and very relatable to me. Have you come out to anyone yet?

I'm a year late to seeing your comment and I've never related to someone more if you actually do see this thank you for being brave enough to make this comment 💕😭

"My heart races and my eyes tear up from the pressure I am building"  You say yourself it's the pressure YOU are building in your own mind.  Your insecurities are yours and yours alone.  Don't hate on other people because of your insecurities.  No one cares if you are bisexual.  literally no one.

Hi Giannah ^^<br>It has been a year, and I guess you're seventeen now. And I very dearly hope things have changed, and you have found enough courage to show people, who you can be, an bisexual easily blushing, singing in her bedroom girl, you seem so lovely💛

man this reply thread is beautiful! i'd like to add my own bit to it too if that's ok :3 <br>so i'm ava, a twelve year old girl in the philippines currently questioning (but i think i'm bi). i'm closeted and i hope and pray my parents and my sister or just any of my family don't see this bc they're homophobic lol. i like to sing (although i don't think i sound very nice) and play the ukulele! my dad caught me watching she one time while i was scrolling through the comment section and asked me why i was doing that. i said "doing what?" he replied with smth abt supporting lgbt ppl and told me to stop watching that sort of stuff (it didn't work lol). i asked him what he thought abt bi ppl and he asked me what bi ppl are. i told him and he said that they were probably confused. evee since then i have been scared to come out and i think i'm going to do it when i'm old enough to move out of the house bc honestly they're probably going to disown me once they find out (yay me amirite) and this reply thread makes me really happy! i'm going to come back here to help stick through the long years i have to wait so i hope this video doesn't get taken down or anything like that! good luck to all the closeted ppl out there!

Giannah Noelle Hiii!! I’m Willa, I’m 15, and I’m bi. I don’t feel the need to come out at all (honestly the closet is fine by me) but some of my friends know or have figured out because I constantly talk about hOW CUTE THIS GIRL IS or hOW BEAUTIFUL THIS BOY IS and yeah. Life is good. I hope it’s going good for you too.

This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever read and someday I hope you feel confident enough (in your surroundings and in yourself) to come out, if you decide that’s what you want!

I’m really late but I wanted you to know. I’m 15 recently came out as bi to about  five of my friends and i felt as though it was going to change everything but my friends don’t really talk about it after our initial conversation and my best friend just made jokes the entire time because she “knew”. I didn’t feel myself holding back before I came out but the release of it being known to even five people who were loving and supportive allowed me to be bi and to fully embrace it rather than tell myself it was a phase.

Heyo! I am Mariah, though I go by Distant online, I like all people, and being non-binary is nice :)

Being bi isn’t a bad thing and always remember that Giannah!
You just have a rlly big heart that loves every gender c;
Thats how I think about it.
Keep being brave x

Hi Giannah! I'm Isabel, 17 and a German living in the UK. I cry when watching Disney movies and I read a lot and sing Beatles songs at the top of my lungs. I came out as bisexual over a year ago and sometimes people see only that label - but it's rare. People actually tend to forget about it in my experience 😆😙

Julia Carter we would never judge you on our sexuality... 😊

I'm Elena and you've summed up my life. I've only come out as bi to my best friends and I'm scared to come out to everyone else. Even though I'm in a very loving community, I'm still afraid. My best friend is straight so there's only so much she can do to help and give advice. Just last night I came out to one of my other closest friend. The only gay friend I have that I feel comfortable talking to. I know she's very busy this month so I'm not surprised that she hasn't texted back but I'm so so scared of what she'll say. But I had to do it. I need help. I'm scared to see the notification saying she texted back. I've been getting migranes for a long while now and everyone thought it was bc I was stressing too much over school. I am getting better but all the stress that's still in me now is bc of how badly I want to come out to everyone but it scares me to do so.

i see all these people saying they live in CO too and i wanna find out where so i can meet you and be friends!

i see all these people saying they live in CO too and i wanna find out where so i can meet you and be friends!

You are allowed to have a label. And be proud of it. But, it shouldn't define you because you are so many things. A singer? Whoa! And I understand the blushing, that's a part of it all too. All the pieces of the universe that you hold have no chance in fitting inside just one word. I hope, if you want, you will be able to come out someday. Stay safe and stay strong.

I love this!! sexuality is just a small part of a whole person. Just remember there are people who love you 💕

Hello i am 14 in 2 days we have the same birthday. Im ellie and i dont know because im young and dont understand feelings. have a wonderful day everyone.

i kind of had the same! currently, I'm nearly 19 and i've just finished my first year at uni. at the moment i'm questioning whether i'm bi but honestly, as someone who's identified and very much straight for so long i almost don't think i should have the label of bi especially because i do have a preference for guys. idk. but yeah i feel is i start identifying as bi i'll be melted down to just this label rather than who i am

Thanks for making me smile and no thank you for making me cry. Ehem...

So, my name is Agnieszka (Anges in english) I'm fourteen. I live in small town next to Krakow in Poland. And I'm bisexual I wanted to tell my psycholgist, but I couldn't do it, so... You guys are first.

I do believe that this is the purest, most beautiful, most inspiring comment chain I've ever seen in my life!! I love every single one of you for being brave enough to even post a random coming out comment on the internet XD. I am not bi myself but I did come out a long time ago and I know how hard and scary it can be. Just remember, you don't HAVE to come out. Do it when you're ready and when you can do so safely. Giannah, thank you for starting this thread of love!! Always be nice to each other, kids, and always be who you are!!! And stay safe I LOVE YOU ALL ok I'm done bye :D

Giannah Noelle, I'm old enough to be your grandfather. If you were my granddaughter, I would love you, and be proud of you, whatever you were.

When my daughter was a bit younger than you are now, her mom and I let her know that, whatever her orientation turned out to be, we loved her, and would support her.

I hope you have people who love and support you, no matter who you're attracted to. The important thing is, that you're happy with whoever you love.

Hi, I'm Kikay and I'm also bi! I live in a province in the Philippines and   please know, you are a lovely and awesome human being💛 keep singing songs and keep being yourself😊

Ive been there girl! I’m bi too and I just came out recently. I was really scared but it turned out to be for nothing because all of my friends were really supportive and nothings really changed with them except I can point out the pretty girls sometimes:) The people who see you as your label will just have to deal without an amazing person in their lives.

Im very proud of you. Opening up can be very Hard. But you did it for us. You can do it for your friends because its Best to take it slow if you Are uncofortable. Its normal. Just remember you can always send me a comment if you need someone to talk to. Plus there is nothing wrong with being who you Are. It just means you Are uniqe and you should be proud of who you Are

Hello Giannah, my name is Giulia. Thank you for showing your bravery, it's truly amazing. I am 17 years old and I am a bisexual girl who has a hard time trying to be who I am. I understand very well how you feel. I live in Clovis, CA and I haven't been able to really open up. There are moments that are confusing but it will all be clear some day. Btw, your singing is beautiful. I blush easily too

hi giannah who sings in her bedroom and blushes easily, you're accepted here ((: 💕

I don't think it's wrong, but it certainly is beautiful. Hi, just call me Fabby and I'm 14 as of now and I consider myself bisexual, although I am not completely sure as I am still learning. I personally find it hard to fall in love as I feel that I need to be really close to someone before I even get my first crush haha. Life is certainly confusing and I think is just one big learning process, that happens in little fragments. But hi, wonderful people of this comment section!

Giannah Noelle this comment is so wholesome and brave

Giannah Noelle Hey, don’t worry. People who see you just as a Bi girl exist. And there are many of them. But you will learn how to deal with it. But there’s also people who will not judge you. And they will love you for who you are! So just forget this type of people and try to find yourself people who deserve to have you in their lives! :)

Giannah Noelle aw this is so cute i just wanna be your friend 😭💛🏳🌈

Giannah Noelle
Hi. My name is Annika I'm a 14 year old girl from Illinois. Before this year, I had never really thought about my sexuality. I just kind of assumed I was straight because that is what most people assume anyway. Just this year however, my friend came out as gay (she's a girl), and I think I might have a crush on her. I have had many crushes on guys before, and now thinking back I definitely liked her before she came out to me, and her being gay made me think about those feelings and realize what they were. I have talked to her about this, and she doesn't like me back which kinda sucks but there's nothing I can do about it in just glad she still wants to be friends. I keep thinking to myself "what does this mean?" Am I bisexual? I don't know. Maybe I'm just curious what it would be like to date another girl, to date her. I know I don't have to label myself, that I should just try to be myself and not care about labels, but I don't think I can do that. I want to know what it all means.
And it's not that I do or don't want to be bisexual, I just don't want to come out as bisexual and realize that I just liked one girl, only because we were really good friends.

Giannah Noelle well you came out online now (kinda) it takes courage to do that also thanks this comment inspired me hope you come out soon🖤

I was terrified too, still am depending on the situation. I feared that people would look at me any differently- or assume something because of it.

And I don’t know if it means anything but I understand, a bit at least.

Hi, Giannah. I am Isabella. I am 17. I am from Ohio. And I am bi

Hi, Giannah. I am Isabella. I am 17. I am from Ohio. And I am bi

Hi I am Paula! I live in a relatively big city in Germany and I have known that I was bi since I was 15 or 16. I am 19 now and I only came out for the first time a few months ago to some of my friends. My family and most of my friends still don't know but I hope I can get the courage to tell them one day. So Giannah (what a beautiful name btw!) and all the other people in this comment section, I just want you to know that you are not alone and that this lovely community stands behind you <3 love you all

This is beautiful so I want to do one too. I’m Charis, and I’m 16 years old from England. I don’t really know what my sexuality is, but I’m a genderflux female that is attracted to female and nb people, so I usually just go by an umbrella term like queer or gay. Most of my friends say I’m a ‘lesbian’, but I don’t like that word, and my parents don’t know.

Giannah Noelle Hello Giannah :3 i'm Kitty as i like to go by, a nickname, and i'm 17, i also live in a small town in colorado and i'm also a girl (i think. i'm questioning). i'm not sure what i am or if there will ever be a label for me, but i do know that i love girls and like them alot, they are so cute~ and am likely poly (amorous or gamous, idk yet ~ ).  i also sing in my bedroom and though i do not blush easily - i like to think haha - i am very sensitive and easily touched. ❤ it's nice to meet you~

Giannah Noelle I feel you girly! My name is Skizamz I am 17 and Ive recently found out that Im bi. Girls and guys are pretty cute! But I love this song so much because I havent come out to anyone, and I dont think I should right now because my parents and my religion are not for it. So I wish you luck in this world Giannah! And everyone out there like us! ❤💙💜💚💛🌈

Noelle don't worry there isn't a rush to come out.

I've  done the same everytime I thought about telling someone this major part of me.

Hi friend. I'm 15 and came out officially about a year ago. It was scary and at first my mother didn't seem accepting, telling me she didn't believe someone can love both genders. But lately she hasn't been so judgmental. My father was accepting and we make jokes sometimes. <br>Don't be afraid of who you are. You're beautiful and everyone should see that

Hi Giannah! I’m a queer guy who came out three years ago. I identified as poly for a while, but when that started to not feel right, I eventually embraced being label-less/using queer as a catchall. I struggled with myself for a few months after coming out, but now my entire life is looking up, and I have amazing relationships with my friends, my family, and God. You’re so brave for posting this, and I hope you find lots of people in your life who support you and love you for all the awesome things you are. You’re doing amazing!!!

Giannah Noelle hello, I'm Emma. I'm 14 and I'm bisexual and have come out to exactly 2 people who I trust. I feel the same way and it sucks that we feel like that. But I know you and I both will be ok💙💗💜

Hi there! My name is Megan and I’m bi as well. I came out when I was 13 on instagram to get it out to all of my friends. My sister saw the post and came out to our parents for me. I didn’t ask her to but she did anyway. Kinda glad she did because I had no plan on how to tell them.

I understand how you feel, I’m bisexual too but I’m terrified of telling my parents because they’ll think it’s influenced from the internet and they’ll say it’s a phase and I’m confused. My heart races too when I think about it as well

Hey bathroom singing easy blushing girl.
I'm a poem loving, anxious guitar playing, hopeless romantic mexican 18 year old. I live in a huge city which I wanna get away from. And I think guys are cute and handsome, but i feel much comfortable with girls and think they're adorable and soft. I identify as bi, queer, and gay. Been out for over a year now, rejected by some, accepted and loved by others. And yes, my heart still stops and my eyes tear up when I see people with a rainbow flag and know that if I wanna sleep in my house I can't be out there marching with them.

But in the end love wins, if we make it win. Your comment is making it win.
I'm proud of you for it! Big hugs and best of fortune. xx

hi there. im bi also. it’s pretty darn hard to come to terms with but so worth it. once you learn to love it, it completes a part of you that you don’t know was missing and anyone that doesn’t understand that doesn’t deserve you. you are phenomenal and i hope the best for you! good luck <3

Hi my name is Emma. I am bisexual. I like theatre and writing. I'm also a huge nerd. 3 months ago, I came out to my accepting friends. I cried a lot. It's never easy to come out, even to people who will accept you. I wish you all the best if and when you decide to come out. *Sending Bisexual hugs*.

hi my names gabby, i am sixteen, i live in a town in New York and i can’t put a finger on what i am yet. ive come out as bi to a few friends but i am scared to say anything to my best friend and family but one day i hope to change that :,) to all the people who have and have not come out as anything yet , you are part of something truly beautiful and i love you

The first time I actually told someone willingly (the second time I came out to someone ever- the first time it was kind of forced out of me) I cried like a baby. But it was a really good cry. She opened up to me, I opened up to her, even though we didn’t really hang out or talk all that much. I think you just need to find that one person and give it a go. Even if it doesn’t go exactly how you want I can almost assure you that you’ll feel great.

I came out when I was 11 and I’m so glad I did, I knew since I was ten and it was just building up and I hated it. I wrote a letter to my parents when I told them, maybe you should do that

you are so brave 💓 I relate to your words a lot, I don’t really know what I am or who I like but I’m afraid to put a label on what I feel in case people don’t believe me :(

nice to meet you! i'm ana, a spanish 18 y.o girl who queers around still finding out who she truly is. what terrifies me is how emotional i am that not-well-care-taking relationships, even just some crushes, rips me off with no choice. i'm still learning, which is the most important thing! i hope you find the brightest way as you deserve, people that loved you before coming out for who you are will understand for sure!

Giannah Noelle Giannah Noelle hi. my names sofia, but i like to go by sofi. i am 15 in three days and live in a small town in california. I like all genders, so boys and girls and anything in between because they all deserve love and i think they all look amazing. life is confusing, but i’m glad there are others to survive in this world with.

What a lovely comment ~ you sound like a wonderful person. I am still figuring myself out and I'm not sure what I identify as.💛

PLEASE PLEASE release this on Spotify, please i need this song in my ears constantly xx


I know it’s almost been a year since this song came out but I just wanted to say as a person who is in the closet with unsupportive parents, this song means more to me than anything.


this came at the time when i needed it, thank you for being my rainbow in the middle of the rain

n idk why this comment just made me start crying


why does this feel like the perfect song from a musical and the main character confesses to their parents about their sexuality. like something like words fail combined with Simon coming out to his dad.


"how can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not?" is an exact description of being non-binary. The amount of times I've been told there are only two genders is so many, I don't even mention it online anymore. I never thought to put it so simply. thanks, dodie.

i have it shoved in my face that i’m a “girl” constantly. i can completely pass until someone opens their mouth. my hair is short, my crappy binder works well enough, i have broader shoulders, but the moment my mom, or my teacher, or my friend opens their mouth and starts talking about me, i loose all of that. it kills me inside. i even sorta came out to my past crush, but if anything they became even more obsessed with the fact they liked a “girl”.

Me too. I almost never talk about it online, there's always someone jumping to tell me that I'm wrong. I only talk about it with close online friends who I know accept me. But in real life? Never. The concept of there being more than two genders is always just a joke at school. And I know if anyone were to know about me, that I'd be the joke to them. Nobody would take me seriously, not even my closest friends. But this song is so nice, makes me remember that there are places I'll be accepted, even if it's only small online communities.

+R Antares screw that, valid is now their first, middle and last name!

Wow, I didn't expect anyone to even read this comment. Thank you for all the positive responses. I want to make a video about being non binary soon. I know I'll get some people telling me I can't be myself but it's time

Rowan Art the amount of times I explain this is unbelievable. In my science class I explained it bc everyone was making fun of me

Whiteheat073 and the Slime Bros. Regarding the intersex, i believe its a inborn defect and usually there is a majority of one of the sexes and the gender again depends on the person...just an opinion 😅

Whiteheat073 and the Slime Bros. ...just tryna share info here...i stand in where there are two genders which are masculine and feminine, sex is female and male...regarding lesbians and gays(i dont really know much of the terms hope i dont offend) people can be female but masculine which explains lesbians and so on...but im not forcing my opinion to anyone, just trying to elaborate.

It's really sad that cis people feel the need to invalidate non binary gender identities. I'm non-binary also and attracted to lots of people so this song meant the world to me

offbeat kiki Let’s have a civil discussion, I believe there are only two genders and that those are interchangeable - change my mind.

offbeat kiki as nb pal myself i feel this so hard

I have a friend who's non binary and too scared to come out to their parents. They wear thick jumpers to bind and we're in the middle of a heat wave, so they're wearing skirts and shirts to keep cool and I feel so so sorry for them. But they're amazing and so are you.

Gender isn’t biological. Your sex is. There’s a difference

I’m non-binary too and everyone I’ve told doesn’t believe me except like 2 people

You are whoever you want to be. You are valid. You exist. And you rock! I fully support you!

Janna kyu no, there are two sexes, three including intersex. There is a difference between sex and gender

Miles Hamm there really are two genders...people keep confusing gender with gender expression

As a trans girl, I feel you. Stay strong pal!

people have told me the past year and a half that there is only two genders. that i’m disgusting....dodies always helped me i’m glad i’m not the only ome

It's sad that people do that to  all of you here, but I'm proud of you for never denying this part of yourselves, even if you don't mention it. Stay strong

I’m also non-binary and the struggle for others to understand is real

I remember being at school and to my face, a kid looked me right in the eyes and said <br>"Not to offend anyone or anything, but there's only two genders". It took so much not to break down right there.

I remember being at school and to my face, a kid looked me right in the eyes and said
"Not to offend anyone or anything, but there's only two genders". It took so much not to break down right there.

You are so valid that Valid is now your middle name.

offbeat kiki biologically speaking there are only two genders. But hey, you do you.

I think the reason people get confused is because physically, you either have a hot dog or a bun (lol), and then there is spiritual gender, or the gender we feel we truly are. You cannot change your physical gender, but your spiritual gender is up to the way you feel. So if you feel you have no gender or both genders or 100 genders, but you only have one penis or vag you have to understand how it confuses people. I'm sorry if this is offensive or rude I'm not good at explaining things :/ <3

I’m non-binary too and I’ve had one of my very close friends say to my face that I don’t exist. I understand and that line really does describe it exactly.

offbeat kiki putting yourself out there when it seems like so many people are against you is a scary and brave thing to do. I AM PROUD OF YOU AND WHO YOU ARE!!! So many people feel the same way as you. Some may not be able to talk about it, and some do and face the same challenges you have. Remember that for every person who has ever tried to make you feel like you aren’t valid, there are thousands marching beside you who will be there to support you <333


Hey okay so I see people are sharing there coming out stories so I’m gonna share mine

I fell in love with a girl and it felt right, and I have always noticed that women were gorgeous, but I forced myself to always like boys because I was too scared to admit to myself I was attracted to girls. Then one day I started asking a lot of questions about the lgbtq+ community to my family and friends because my older sister had recently came out and one day my oldest sister said “if another one of you (me or my siblings) were gay, or trans, I would be happy because I just want my siblings to know that I’m okay because I want my little siblings to be happy and have someone there.” I bursted into tears and I basically flat out said through tears that I’m bi and my sister just held me and told me “I know and it’s okay, I would never hate you for loving someone” I later came out my family and friends and I’ve never felt happier in my life.


This is gorgeous. My crush on Dodie has intensified


I need this to get through the month w the pridefall threats and my local parade being cancelled 😭


"so please step inside my soul
i'd love to watch you gasp.
you'd understand in minutes,
and i'd like to think you'd miss it
cause so would i"
every line in this song is so powerful but this one in particular echos with me. i wish that people who grew up being told they were 'normal' could see things how i do. i wish they could see how beautiful everyone around me is and how hard i struggled to see myself as beautiful too.
thank you for making me feel heard, dodie.


did anyone else's heart drop when they got this notification?

it didnt drop, thats an expression that means something really bad happened doesnt it?

I make comments cuz this is my commenting channel

Ashley YES! I literally spammed my friend on Twitter like NEW DODIE SONG NEW DODIE SONG ALERT ALERT!!


i love coming back to the original after listening to the new version!


I still come back to this song and I just cry. This song hits hard. Have a nice pride month y'all. And remember you're valid.


Hearing this live is an out of body experience


HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE!! YOU’RE SO LOVED!❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎


welp that chorus is going on my wall as a quote

ahhh I think that was on purpose, contrast of the wrong and right. Beautiful lyrics x


Came back to this after the teaser on insta


i really felt the map not being made for me part. i keep comparing everybody’s journey with sexuality to mine and it’s ripping apart. there’s too much time to think about it over quarantine.


i'm a trans bi girl with a very queerphobic family and i relate to this song so much. it's gotten me through so many sleepless nights and i'll never be able to explain how much this song means to me. thank you dodie for existing and writing this song and for being a role model for me. i hope to get the lyrics "so please step inside my soul" tattooed on me with your handwriting one day.

faith <3


Literally sitting in bed doing calculus homework, listening to this song, with a rainstorm in the background gives me a very nice soothing feeling
