In this deeply personal video, I share my journey through conversion therapy, not once, but twice. Growing up in a strict Christian family, coming out as gay was met with attempts to 'cure' me. This is the story of my struggle with my identity, the painful experiences of conversion therapy, and how I eventually found the strength to embrace who I am. I share overcoming the challenges of being forced into therapy designed to change who I am and how I came to celebrate my true self. If my story can help even one person feel less alone, then sharing it will have been worth it.
*2021 UPDATE* The mental health issues I've suffered thus far are something I am still discovering. You will see later on in our videos where a scary night in Mexico led us to get help. I am with a licensed psychiatrist where I have learned I have cPTSD, OCD, intrusive thoughts and depression. Whether it is viewed by a parent with a gay child or someone who is battling acceptance within themselves.

Who are we?
We are Adam (North American) and Bernardo (Brazilian) and we are husbands whose paths crossed back in 2016, when we both still lived in Brazil. Since the very beginning, we shared a common passion for travel and nature, which has only grown over the years and led us to this unexpected journey on KZitem, which has allowed us to connect with an amazing community that we’re beyond grateful for. “Go out and make memories” is our motto of living and a constant reminder for us that true happiness doesn’t come from the material wealth we accumulate, but from the memories we create and share with our loved ones throughout our existence. We invite you to join us in our crazy journey in life and hopefully we can inspire you to go out and make some memories on your own. Welcome aboard!
