In this video I want to get some things off my chest. It's time to open up about some of the more personal things about my life. This was a difficult thing for me to film - I am not used to opening up in front of you, but I think it is the right time.

@@rwatts2155 I actually teared up a little listening to his story, not only because I was very happy for him, but mine was very different. I had a very dysfunctional and abusive upbringing with no love whatsoever. Grammar school and high school were a nightmare. I was beaten with baseball bats and called vile names and the abuse lasted for years. It took me many years to get over the scars, and that is not self pity it's just reality. I had no support system whatsoever. I'm so glad Nicolas didn't have too bad of a time of it in school and had a loving and supportive family. I especially liked his message to young people to hang in there, that everything will be "okay."

@@cookingartguy2170 I know what you mean. Same here. I was kicked out of my parents' home when I was 13. Very abusive alcoholic father and the text book definition of a facilitator for a mother. Actually, being kicked out of their house was the best thing that could have happened to me. I became a survivor. After 15 years of intensive therapy and double that to put the therapy to work for me and having kissed a lot of princes who turned into frogs...I found my partner in life and we have been together for 27 years so far...and counting. He's my family. I am so happy Nicholas had a much different experience. Sure, he had difficulties but he has handled them well and he has a beautiful life ahead of him! I want the young gay people today to understand that they have infinitely better lives than we had in the 60's and 70's. And that we sacrificed so much and fought like HELL so they...our young gay men and women.. can have better lives and easier, happier lives than we had. They stand on our shoulders just as we stood on the shoulders of the gay men and women of the 40's and 50's and the shoulders of STONEWALL. And I pray that the gays of today develop shoulders for the gays who follow in their footsteps. People like Nicholas and his parents give me hope for the gay children of tomorrow. He and the many gay people like him are making the world a better place!

@@rwatts2155 I'm glad things turned around for you eventually. Some don't make it, I've known many unfortunately. My only regret is that it took me so many years to overcome the damage, not that I had a real choice in the process. I don't know how I didn't become an addict, but it just wasn't in me, I always wanted to improve myself, it just took so long as I said. I always felt dumb and worthless, but I've discovered late in life that I have writing and artistic talent, and I guess my regret is that I wish I had discovered it earlier, though I truly believe it's never too late. Glad you found happiness, at least as much we can hope to have in this world.

Says a lot about Nicholas and his friend. I think Nicholas will one day understand that he and his friend are still family. All relationships change. Sex is important but it comes and goes. Love and commitment make a family. Now Nicholas and his friend will eventually bring others into their family and those people will have to understand that they love each other and always will. And if the new people want to be part of their lives they will have to be mature and secure enough to love the other as family, too. We are ALL the product of our experiences and whom we have loved. Just because a relationship changes doesn't mean you can't love the person. After all, they are still basically the same person we loved in the first place.

Thanks so much for sharing these personal stories, Nicholas. I’m a 67 year old gay man in San Francisco, and I know from my life experience that regardless of how far we’ve come, the coming out process is still not an easy one. But as you recount, it is ultimately a freeing and emboldening experience. I believe most of us end up stronger as a result. I was inordinately touched by the personal photos of your family and friends at the end of the video. I’m sure you thought twice about including those, but they added poignancy and authenticity to your words. As you say, you are normally dealing with beautiful things, appearances and surfaces. Thanks again for this video. It touched me.

I’d echo many of the loving comments below. I grew up in a three bedroom council house in Swansea. I was the middle of five sons, one of whom was my fraternal twin. I feel like I have not just made my own family since going to University in London, but even more so here in New York, where I moved when I was 27. I always knew I was gay, and it gave me the benefit of rejecting norms and expectations and deciding what was right for me. Like you, no one would really guess at my upbringing - not because I wanted to be “better” than my roots, not because I was ashamed of anything or ever thought that I was less than I should or could be, but just because I wanted to be self-sufficient and not be beholden to anyone later in life (even though I have been a corporate slave for many years here in NY). I thought this video was lovely, and like you, got through my early years pretty unscathed, and enjoyed loving parents even though my mother was frankly a petty-minded, bigoted Tory at heart. It didn’t stop her from loving me. Those of us who didn’t suffer in striving to be our authentic selves, should always provide as much of a helping hand to those that haven’t had the harmony we have enjoyed and to those who are suffering on their journey to being their best selves.

Hey, Nicolas! I'm from Russia, and as you may know it's the most homophobic country in the Christian world. I used to be like a majority of people (non-aggressive but contemptuous), but in the Academy (while I was getting an undergraduate degree) I had a friendship with a gay that started to change the way I feel about homosexual people. Thanks to YT I just discovered your beautiful channel😍 Absolutely love the way you speak, explain things, your maturity and manners❤️ I wish you to become wealthy really soon! Please, continue to delight us with your exquisite videos😍💖

I am glad that you shared with us bc it is interesting and I'm glad you are strong and able to be a role model to others. It's baffling to me how anyone could find something negative about such a sweet beautiful channel.

I have been a teacher for 34 years and love your channel. Sadly, I know all too well how some kids bully the kids who try to better themselves by striving to create and meet life goals. The kids who do the bullying are lacking in self-love/self-esteem and anything they say is only a reflection of how they feel inside. Glad you don't let them get you down! You have over 100K subscribers...you are LOVED!

As a gay man in a long term relationship of almost 11 years with my wonderful boyfriend I must say you give me some inspiration. And ways in which to incorporate traditionally feminine colors and textures into our decor. I appreciate you do not accentuate your sexuality into every video. By doing so you demonstrate how normal being gay is and that homosexuals and men in general can appreciate the softer, more delicate aspects of life and not let that define who they are.

You are absolutely right, being gay is normal, but unfortunately there are still situations of prejudice and great ignorance in this world., when sexual orientation is another characteristic of the person out of many others who make that person who he is . One of my good friends is gay, and he is one of the most wholesome persons that I know, I learn from him everyday. Greetings from Chile.

@@katiasaporta2250 Exactly. Living near Los Angeles it is easy to forget that there still is ignorance throughout many areas of the world. Thinking about it even my boyfriend grew up in a Mexican household and if a man was anything less than “macho” he was ostracized and outcast by his community. So he naturally gravitates to not expressing his homosexuality to the fullest. Nicolas’ videos have shown me many ways to incorporate some design elements into our decor that would soften the more cold and masculine elements that exist due to his upbringing in a “macho” and rather homophobic environment.

Nicolas, I can't recall when I began following your channel, but I am so happy that I stumbled upon your videos. It has been obvious that you come from a loving and supportive family. The presentation of your videos are very calming and offer many pleasurable moments of serenity. Thank you for taking the time to share your journey, and a piece of your life's experiences. I love your philosophy of "...never complain, never explain." Continue to live your life, and live it unapologetically. There are always "trolls"...people who don't have a life except to attempt to create drama in the lives of others. For those who think you are too much, I have a few words of advice for them, "go find less". Those of us who SUBSCRIBE to this channel, follow your blog are here because of you, who you are, what you do, and what you have to offer. Looking forward to your next installment. ❤

This was, hands 🙌🏽 down, the best KZfaq video that I’ve seen in a long time. This video brought me to tears. Not because it was sad or anything like that, but because you are such a positive beautiful person with a great attitude. I’m a heterosexual African American female, living in the U.S. and so many ppl are negative when it comes to sexuality, race and or religion. It’s such a breath of fresh air to listen to you speak and encourage ppl to be themselves. I’m a new subscriber by the way. I absolutely love your videos. I recently hosted a tea party at my house this weekend with some of my coworkers. I stumbled upon your videos when I was searching KZfaq for all things tea related. I also follow Dainty Diaries, a KZfaqr from Dublin Ireland. She too has a love for tea cups and tea pots, although I’ve never seen a video where she talked about hosting a tea party. You guys have similar taste 🥰 Stay blessed. Stay encouraged and I wish you much success in everything you do.

I think no one should ever feel compelled to “acknowledge” anything so personal such as intimacy, orientation etc... but since we’re living in this poor minded society... I guess at least you just did that the most different and elegant way ever. And wether you were raised in a castle or a cabin doesn’t change the quality of your work and the singular and so charming personality that is yours. 💖 Every time you post a video I feel delighted and I regret not having friends of your kind.

I've been perfectly content to watch you enjoy the life you've built for yourself and share it with others. Thank you.

I am glad you had an easier time coming out with family - my family cut me off for 14 years... was tough...but eventually everyone came around and all good and they love my husband. Thanks for encouraging other people Nicolas. As far as being real... you have been forthright and honest from the start, you are not a snob, you have explained that you come from a Working Class, and even if you were an Aristocrat - it would STILL be no ones' business. You are talented, kind, genunine, and creative. Period!! Your'e single... can't see that happening for too much longer --- you are too great a Catch!
