Yeah, I mean, my face didn't show that much in the video, but that's just my demeanor. It's just how I am. But yeah, it was nice to know that all the hard work that I put in really paid off.

Everyone has been super welcoming and a lot of them reached out to me after the news broke, just telling me that they're in my corner and they have my support, you know, through all the online skeptics that there might be.
