'I love being online because I feel like you can just be yourself and it's so easy to open up. I just love social media because it's just on a screen with all these people. You don't see anyone so it's easy to open up and have fun and not worry about what other people think,' he said.

'TikTok especially is just so casual and very nonjudgmental. It's one big inside joke and everyone understands it. It's crazy to see how everyone can collectively come together and agree and decide on doing things.'
