#mythought Nick's Podcast on Zach Sang Show

One of my dream is to travel and explore the world. I'm particularly drawn to places that I find fascinating, and I honestly dream of visiting Hawaii, Los Angeles, or even Iceland. I'm tired of living in Indonesia and I crave experiencing different cultures. However, I'm also afraid of being in new places, I don't particularly like strange things, and I have a fear of being kidnapped. 😁

I aspire to have a courageous spirit and a progressive mindset. I don't know if it's too late or not, but I (honestly) yearn to possess these qualities. One of the people I admire is Nick Sturniolo. I recently listened to his podcast on the Zack Sang Show. While there are many inspiring podcasts out there, the most recent one I listened to was Nick Sturniolo's.

Have you ever listened to a podcast so intently that you felt like you were attending a seminar? That's what happened to me. I was so engrossed in the podcast. Like many podcasts, they talked about a variety of topics, but the topics on the Zach Sang Show usually focus on the guest. It's more like an interview.

Listening to the podcast made me feel closer to Nick. OMG, I don’t know what to say? But it felt like I got to know Nick on a deeper level. He felt like a friend I've known since middle school. A friend who would come over on Sundays to eat ice cream and watch cartoons. A friend who would tell me stories and talking about classmates who acted stupid. A friend who would always be there whenever you called. That's how I felt when I saw Nick on the podcast. I wanted to give him a big hug. 🤗

In my opinion, out of his brothers, Nick is the one who is most connected to the outside world. He has an extroverted personality and the most fascinating mindset. I also think he's very smart about choosing his words when he speaks, so the listener doesn't get bored and always learns new vocabulary.

I admire Nick for how he initiates friendships and how he seems to genuinely care about people. I'm far from friendly in public, but when you approach me, I do a complete 180 degree and become nice and smiley. And I feel that's very similar to Nick. He can be fierce, mean, and scary when he's not in a good mood, but he can also be sweet and fun if you get to know him.

That's why I said at the beginning, that the Sturniolo Triplets are like branches of my personality. There are parts of me that are like Nick, like Matt, and like Chris. I feel very connected to the Sturniolo Triplets, which is why I consider them like brothers and family.

One interesting topic from the conversation was when Nick was asked about when and how he realized he was gay. Nick then gave his explanation. But from his explanation, I became more educated about gay people out there who live normal lives and don't threaten others. I don't know, maybe showing yourself out there as gay is a form of self-expression. But what I see in my environment are gay people with annoying and disturbing personalities. Maybe I shouldn't generalize like that.

The way Nick talked about his experience being gay was touching to me. Because all this time, the stories I've heard from people, I didn't feel connected to them, but when Nick told his story, I felt like, "I didn't know you went through something like that, Nick." 😭😭

How he couldn't help but feel conflicted. The questions that popped up when he was still a child, while there were no other gay people around him. He didn't realize he was gay since he was little. What he felt had to be kept to himself for years and he only came out as a teenager.

Well, I don not support people becoming gay and I will never fully understand their position as gay individuals, I believe we should still respect their lives. As long as they behave well, live normal lives, and don't disrupt society, I don't have a problem with it. At the very least, be a good gay person and pay your taxes. 😯

Life is a choice, after all. While you're alive, use your life well for your surrounding, the world, and your family. Keep doing good deeds because karma always comes back to us. What goes around, comes around. I also have many flaws and I learn to be a better person every day. Never stop doing good and stay positive.

Thank you for reading this. I hope that those who are discouraged by their current situation will soon find a solution to their problems. Every problem has a solution, it depends on us whether we want to try or not.

Stay alive! 💖💖💖💖💖
