Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this; it's amazing how down-to-Earth you are and your vulnerability is so admirable. I'll be honest - I've been into cars for most of my life, but it's something that, with most people, I don't like to talk about very much and try to keep a secret. I just don't have anything to speak for it and I feel like there's some sort of shame in that. On top of that, I fear the awkwardness of taking those first steps of getting into all this stuff, especially because I'm a very slow learner and need lots of time to master new things. At least for me, another one of the toxic aspects of the whole YouTube car scene is that it has allowed me to build this passion inside a bubble and keep it all to myself, and after a while, holding it all inside gets really, REALLY tiring. I've made some progress in trying to be more open about being into cars, but there's certainly still a long way for me to go. I've just got to remind myself that everybody starts somewhere and keep moving, even when the going gets tough. You're truly a special person, Tedward, and I hope you always remember that. I'm sure I speak for many when I say that you're such an inspiration and that I love you so much! Please keep doing what you're doing and never stop!
