To whoever reads this:
The glee project has changed my life in so many ways. Because it’s a competition were being different is okay and it’s what makes you stand out. Each and everyone of the contenders have been an inspiration for me and I am so grateful to this group of people. Through life I’ve been bullied a lot, and it’s something that made me so insecure. Y’all have inspired me to keep fighting, even with everything they may throw at my way, I’m pushing through. Back in September, I had really bad problems with bullying. I though everything was crumbling, so started self harm. Things started to get worse and I lost all hope. Some of the TGP fans helped me get through. I’m still here and I owe it all to them.
Expecting they read this (trying my best to do it as small as possible):
Taryn, I love the decision you made to help your family, nothing matters more than family
Maxfield, you are a sweetheart, and I love your voice
Dani, you’ve taught me to stand up to bullying
Tyler, you are hilarious and you have such a loving heart
Mario, you’ve taught me to keep fighting no matter what
Charlie, you’ve taught me that true love isn’t easy. I have asperger’s and seeing you on the show made me really happy
Abraham, you are really nice and you taught me that being androgynous is okay as long as you are being yourself (you also taught me what the word androgynous is)
Shanna, your voice is amazing and you are really nice. Praise jesus. I love your love for god (if that even makes sense)
Michael, seeing your growth inspired me to follow my dreams
Lily Mae, I really admire your confidence, you’ve taught me to love myself no matter what
Aylin, you are fierce, and you taught me that your roots don’t define you
Ali, you are a ray of light, you’ve taught me that a disability is not an excuse
Blake, I’m really proud of you for winning, since all that you’ve been through before getting to the glee project, you taught me that it gets better
And my favorite contender
Nellie. You sing incredible, you act amazing, I love your poetry and your photography is fantastic. You (and your fans) helped when I was on a dark side and I just really want to thank you. You inspire me in so many ways. You are the sweetest person ever. You are awesome and you should definitely date Blake
I just want to let y’all know that I really love you. Even if you didn’t win (or you are Blake) I am forever thankful to all of you and if you ever need something, y’all have an incredible group of fans who is capable of everything.
