i was thinking about this today and i think the reason schitt’s creek is my favourite show is because of how positive the representation of the lgbtq community is. plenty of other shows have the representation but the characters are constantly faced with hardships, whether it be-
-family and friends not accepting them or not being able to get employment. but schitt’s creek broke the stereotype that every single lgbtq person will struggle. it made me realise that my sexuality isn’t something that everyone will ridicule me for. it made me realise that-
-there are people out there who will accept me. it made me realise that i wasn’t alone and that it’s not something to be ashamed of. patrick’s coming out experience was so positive and filled with love and it’s why meet the parents is so many people’s comfort episodes. it makes-
-us feel safe and it helps us realise that not everything that we think is going to happen will happen. david speaking to him about only coming out to his parents on his terms helped me understand that coming out to everyone isn’t something that i have to do. i know that when i-
-do come out to my family it’ll be because i’m comfortable with it and not because it’s something that society’s forced me to do. the community’s acceptance of david, patrick and ronnie helped me realise that there’s plenty of people in the world that understand and accept-
-lgbtq people and that not every single one of us is going to be discriminated against. i finally understand that i can be who i am without feeling like an outcast and i now know that everything is going to be okay.
i’m almost done but i wanted to talk about my favourite scene. the scene in singles week where david tells ted that “sometimes it does work out.” it’s helped me get through times when i thought nothing good could come from living any longer. it made me realise that just because-
-terrible things have happened to me in the past, it doesn’t mean that they’ll happen again. i’ve been hurt by people i thought i was close to but i’m learning to move past all that. i’m not scared to put myself out there anymore. schitt’s creek is a show that feels like home to-
-me and i genuinely don’t know where i’d be without it.

this got unnecessarily deep but i just want to thank @danjlevy for helping me come to so many realisations and reminding me that things will work out.
i think i repeated myself a lot but it’s 1am and as you can tell i’m going through it and i just wanted to get all that off my chest https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Erleichtertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Erleichtertes Gesicht">
